Portland. Jan. 4. To th Editor of
The : Joursa.--People-outside of Or-
" yon have a greatly mletaken Ida about
ilta climate. Fereletent mlerepreaenta-
tlou. particularly by resident of Call
- ' t ornla, baa created tha general- Imprea-
i Iod abroad that thla Mat hu en ex
teesive rainfall. . Realdcnta of southern
Oregon, and also of eastern Oregon, ara
frequently hoard alluding. In a contempt
uous manner, to th Willamette valley
' as "webfoot," a term which was first
; given in ridicule bjr Calif ortrlane aria
' they in tarn wero characterised aa "Tar-
heads" . by- Oregonlan to ' make honorn
' even. .- Bualneas men in Portland and in
'tha valley towns ara also responsible
'to a considerable degree for" tha falsa
' ideas many persona la tha aaat entertain
In ' the. matter of tha climate of Oregon.
When a stmnr Visits this city It la
Mturai that he should want to take a
; souvenir of aaipa kind "home with him.
Jit response to his Inquiry, what is of
.fered hlmT A spoon with frog sitting
under an umbrella, moat likely. And
' .when ba returns bom, every conceivable
question. Imaginable la asked him about
' hie trip, .to which ha replies after a
fashion,-and ashlblts his souvenirs, Tha
conclusion of the whole matter Is that
' ha aad all his friends, to a large ex
v.tent. ' become prejudiced, and. a. great
. .wrong; i dons to tha stats. -
:,- The Dtn'vr Urn la business la tha
. state or any cltlsea,of the stats, or any
. part of It who speaks slightingly of it
' In any sense, is a public enemy and
should bo mads to understand that the
. best- thing be can do Is to remove else-
' where. '
states, year in and year out, it can be
shown conclusively ' that ' that of Oro
t gon stands in the front rank vf or health
. fulness and excellence in every degree.
" and that' in no part, of Oregon la It any
better than In tha Willamette valley.
. gtate .loyalty is what ia needed. Every
part of the state ia mutually lnterde-
, pendent., - The bead cannot say to the
foot, '1 have no need of thee."' Port-
: land cannot say to the rural community,
even In the remotest corner, "I have no
need of you. and vice versa. V
, Wo stats in this union has been more
blessed by the glfu of nature than has
Oregon: and when our people begin to
,. apprehend this, fact as they ought and
stand shoulder to shoulder for Improve
ment along all lines of human endeavor,
as they should, then a condition of pros
perity and growth will eomo upea.ud
- that we now can but faintly conceive of.
; ' And now In order to show the nature
of the -climatic conditions in each coun
ty I have compiled the. following data,

Th mark slgniriea below aero.
From the above it will bo observed
i that there arathreenatural subdlvlalons
i Coast range, oxtandlng southward from
tha Columbia river to the 42d parallel,
embracing the counties of Clatsop, Tilla
mook, Lincoln, tha western parts of lne
and Douglas and Coos and Curry, em-
bracing approximately 7.171 square
mUes. ., The average rainfall In this re-
gloa is a fraction over II Inches an-
, nually; highest average temperature, 14;
I lowest, T above sero; mean. ill. .-
. The second subdivision embraces tha
counties of Columbia. Washington, Tain-
hlll.-Polk, bratoa, ths sastern parts ef
- lain and Douglas, and Josephine, Jack-
I son. Linn, Marlon, Clackamas and Mult-
- I nomah counties, containing 11.177 square
MUes, lying- between! the snmmlts of the
, i ana iuohi ranges ox mouniains,
1 rlt -41 ft. " Thjl klrhMt n.
and extending from the Columbia river
to tha 4 2d paralM, with aa average rain-
i peraturo known In the same region is
" 102: the lowest I.? above aero; mean. 62,
The third division embraces Jtha coun.
; ' ties of Baker, Crook, OlUam. Grant, Har
. iiey, Klamth, Lake, Malheur, Morrow,
Wasco, ,,Wheeler an area of 46.I42
- squara miles, lying oast of the Cascade
- I mountains, bounded by the Columbia and
; tha state of Washington on tha north,
- ! the 42d, parallel on tha south.
' 1 The , highest .. avers aa temperatnrs
(known of this great region Is 104; low
i est, -II below aero; mean 44; averag
t rainfall 14 inches. ....
j By the foregoing it will bo seen that
the area 'of- excessive rainfall la ex-
reedlngly small aa compared with the
"rva of tha state being distributed over
t ?.7 square rallea,, as compared with
f 11.000 square miles! or to put It in an
) other -way, the average rainfall of the
'. 9,004 squara. miles is 27.6 Inches per
imnum oonaldorably teas than in any
. equal area aaat of tha territory east of
tha Mississippi river valley.
t As a matter of fact, however, there is no
'occasion to. apologia' for the Oregon rain.
Mt la the glory of the .middle belt of tba
