SOUTHWEST
: Interesting Letter In Portland
V I
Telegram Tells of Coos and
Curry Counties and Their
Vast Wealth.
Richest Sections of the State.
PORTLAND, Feb. 12. (To the
I Editor of tho Telegram.) Few peo-
plo understand climatic and other
j conditions embraced within tho 9G,
.000 square miles of tho Oregon coun
: try. No need to seek Greenland's
j icy mountains or India's coral strand
in search of climatic variants.
I Down in that neck-o-woods known
j as Curry county, In tho extreme
j southwestern part of the state, there
exist ideal conditions for tho student
' of naturo and for easy, comfortable
j lives, Going there when wintry con
I dltlons arc at their worst one may
better determine by comparison what
i that region holds for tho prospective
homeseeker. Leaving Portland on
I January 3, via tho Southern Pacific
Railway, we arrived at Drain, took
the stage for Scottsburg, 36 miles,
thence by boat down tho Umpqua 20
miles to Gardiner; thence by boat on
down to tho mouth of tho river, nlno
miles; thonco by stage along the
weather beach 20 miles to Coos Bay;
by gasollno launch soven miles to
Marshfleld; by rail 20 miles to Co
qulllo; to Bandon 28 miles by boat,
at tho mouth of tho Coqulllo; by
stage 1G miles to Langlois; to Port
Orford by stage 16 miles; from Gold
Beach, opposite Wedderburn, to Pis
tol River by stage 13 miles; from Pis
tol River to Harbor, at the mouth of
the Chetco River, 25 miles; Harbor
to Smith's River, Cal., 14 miles; to
Crescent City, Cal., 14 miles, and
from Crescent City, Cal., to Grants
Pass, via Waldo by stage, thence
home by rail, formed a very interest
ing itinerary, although at the expense
of some slight physical inconvenienco
and comfort. Even at this season
one sees much to Interest oneself of
broken coast In tho evidences of the
great convulsions of nature at the
edge of the western fold of the con
tinent, of the Incessant rage and roar
of tho restless sea against titanic
reefs, of flowers in perpetual bloom,
of magnificent timber and of a peace
ful and contented people. Great
plants of calla lilies, many varieties
of roses, Immense fuchia plants al
most trees acacias, myrtle, English
violets, marigolds and geraniums all
in full bloom out in tho open, greet
the eye everywhere. Game in abund
ance in season, trout and sea fish and
wild fowl mako this an ideal region
for tho enthusiastic sportsman. For
general farming, however, It presents
limited attractions. Tho western
abutments of tho Coast Range crowd
close in to tho sea, generally speak
ing, and, with the exception of some
very choice but limited areas of rich
alluvial and sedimentary bottoms,
where overflowing streams debouch
Into tho sea, the broken and some
what rugged nature of tho adjacent
hills offer littlo inducement for farm
ing. Sheep thrive well on these hills,
however, aud while few havo any
knowledge of it, tho entire coast from
Coos Bay south to Checto is one vast

iop range on the mils making back

const. Tho statement la
mad0 on presumably good authority
that probably 500,000 sheep are now
ranging In this region.
Anything indigonousto tho soil ot
this latltudo can bo growii in tho
most luxuriant abundance along tho
bottom lands of this part of tho
Coast. Its productiveness is un
equalled. This land Is held at from
$100 to $200 an acre, however, which
is far beyond its actual value without
or even with railway communication.
Tho precipitation is abnormal, al
though almost torrential downpoura
at intervals admit of a greater num
ber of pleasant, bright days than
where the rainfall is distributed over
a greater interval of time. Tho de
mands of social conventionalities aro.
not great down there and one need
not mako more than ordinary prepar
ations for tho dances and other inter
esting functions other than to dis
card gum boot3, which aro inconvenl
ent'for terpsichorean occasions. One
occasion of the kind that came under
my notice was attonded by soma
scoro of Indies and gentleman. 'i
latter of whom were expected and
did furnish the sodutivo fluid Nar
ry is a dry county you know) that
limbers the legs (and timbers tho
brain). There was enough apiipront
ly, of the liquid to go around about
soven gallons and tho function was
supposed to and did continue un
til tho supply was exhausted. It be
gan Saturday night. The guests
danced through Saturday night, all
day Sunday, Sunday night, Monday,
nnd Monday night, and the next day
they all went home.
Other products flourish, bloom and
fructify in that region besides flowor3
and sheep.
A house was pointed out to us on:
the banks of a beautiful streatu aa
wo passed by which was originally
about ten feet square. An ada't'on
was born to the family which nec".st
tated an addition to tho houso, which,
was built out of poles and shu es.
Another came and a i.ifher oxtij on
made to the houso. Another nnd an
other until the domestic hearth con
fronted eight sturdy youngsters, i'no
domiciliary abode is now 40 feet long
and 10 feet wide, and they are iiro
paring for another addition. You
may compute tho numerical strength
of the family by the patchwork on tno
house. A vendetta started onco down,
in those parts and piomlsod well at
ono time until each side "shot mo
other up" good naturedly and quito
efficiently, when tho foud rested! its
case. Tho two sides have Wert
watching ench other like two preda
tory wolves for years, but no sign ot
a fresh outbreak until, perhaps, ,ho
whistle of a "smoke wagon" Is heard,
when, look out!
Passing a very thrifty looking; ilt
tlo homo at the side of tho rond, one
small boy could bo seen peering r
lously out of a window . Tho v '9
