(General and ; special laws of 184S-9, page B0.) It comprised the southern portion of the Original Yamhill district out of which Polk district had been ere ated. Benton county, at the time of its creation, was all of the original Polk district from the reestablished southern line of Polk county to the California north line. Prior to the creation of Umpqua county, January 24. 1851, a new southern line of Benton county was es tablished by an act of tha territorial les islature passed January 15, 1861. The description of this line in section 1 of said act is as follows: 'The southern boundary of Benton (word county is omitted) shall be lo cated as follows: Commencing, In ths middle of the channel of the Wallaraet liver, at a point where a line, running west, will pass three miles south of the fori on Long- Tom (river) (near Roland HinTon's field), and running due west to tha Pacific ocean." (Local, laws Of 1850-1. page 14.) - It Is named for senator .Thomas H. Benton of Missouri, who for many years had been a strong advocate for Oregon. Benton county is now bounded on ths north by Polk county, on tha east by ths Willamette river, its common boun- delay, waste and noncompletion of the waterway projects of the state.
