WEALTH OF OREGON.
The Union Pacific passenger depart
ment has issued its seventh edition of
the pamphlet, ' Wealth and Resources
f Oregon," revised up to date. It is an
interesting book of 100 pages, and deals
with its subject in an intelligent, fair
and impartial manner. Of the state in
general, its location, area and physical
features, it says : -
"Its area is 95.274 square miles, or
nearly 64,000,000 acres' It is as large as
all the New England states, with Indi
ana added, and larger than New York
and Pennsylvania combined. To more
fully impress the reader with the liberal
proportions of Oregon, it may be added
that it is half as large as France, nearly
twice as large as old England, five times
as large as Switzerland, and seven times
the size of Holland. Oregon has a pop
ulation of over 300,000. Were it as
closely settled as Switzerland, it would
have 12,000,000 people; as France,
about 17,000,000; as Holland, about 25,
000,000, or as England at least 40,000,000.
In its proportion of productive and of
waste land, it will compare well with
the average foreign countries named.
In soil or climate or other conditions af
fecting the growth of vegetation or com
merce or commerce interests, the com
parison would be vastly in favor of Ore
gon. Situated between tbe parallels of
4Z and 46:18 north latitude, this state
is not unlike, in climate and physical
characteristics,. Virginia and Tennessee.
Oregon affords a vast area of farming
lands, the best conditions to warrant
the production of heavy crops without
a failure for agea and a climate above
all others, enabling the husbandman to
work out doors at something every
montn in the twelve. In its proportion
of productive to waste lands, it will com
pare well with the average of countries
of similar extent. In soil or climate, or
in any condition affecting the growth of
crops, the comparison would be vastly
in favor of Oregon. The truth is, there
is little land in that vast region that is
not good for something, being adapted
to either wheat, barley, oats, hay, pas
ture, fruits, vegetables, timber, mining,
i something else. There are those who
claim that there is no state in the union
where there is less wasteland in propor
tion to the total area than in Oregon
and, as remarked by an eminent trav
eler: "Here nature does not divide her
rain and sunshine into two great halves,
as she metes them out in California.
Here it rains and shines by turns, as
smiles and tears alternate on those
happy faces never distorted by immod
erate laughter, nor drawn down by per
sis tent grief." In many sections the
grabs is green the year round. The soil
is as black and rich as the mud of
Egypt. The farmer can seed all fall un
til Christmas, or all the spring from
February to May.
"No finer fruits of tbe kind raised in
uregon in navor ana size comparing
favorably with the best California varie
ties are produced in any quarter of the
world. Fruit trees grow from eix to
eight feet the first year, and bear fruit
the second, third or fourth year accord
ing to variety. They thrive in the val
leys as well as on the footbillB, and up
to a considerable height in the mount
ains, but especially in sheltered, dry
soil. At recent fairs, yearling prune,
peach and plum trees, eight feet four
inches high, and cherry trees seven feet
high were exhibited. Apples, pears,
peaches, grapes, cherries and the vari
ous small fruits, which for size, beauty
and excellence of flavor are not excelled
on the globe, are grown in the orchards
of that region. Pear blossoms along
the Columbia in February and March;
harvest-apples ripen in July.
"Oregonihas for years been the great
cattle center of the Pacific Northwest.
It is also noted for its production of
horses and sheep. Tne mild winter cli
mate, the fact that the native grasses
remain green during the most of the
year, and the ease with which cultivated
grasses can be raised, together make
Oregon an excellent country for raising
every kind ot stock, The general prac
tice of Western Oregon farmers is to
provide fodder for only a part of ti e
year, allowing stock to roam at large
during the greater part of it ; while in
Eastern Oregon vast numbers have
never tasted prepared food.
"Twenty-five thousand square miles.or
16,000,000 aciet, of the mountain and
coast lands of Oregon are covered by a
growth of timber such as, in diversity
and size, no other like space on the
earth's surface can boast of. You can
pick your way for miles through these
forests, where the ground could not give
room for the- cord . wood of trees felled
and worked up. If "inexhaustible"
were not a term unknown to tbe lexi
con of this age, we should apply it to
the timber supply of the Columbia
river.
In its food fishes, this region has a
mine of wealth better than its richest
vein of gold or silver. Its innumerable
rivers, creeks and rivulets, snow-fed and
mountain-born, clear almost as the
azure above, are inhabited by myriads
of salmon, trout, grayling and other fish,
gamey and eager enough for the bate, to
make the real disciple of Isaak Walton
question whether he ever fished before.
But its great rivers, bays and sounds are
so alive with the fish of commerce that
they have a more important interest to
the thoughtful economist. Salmon of
many varieties abound in millions and
are taken and canned by the thousands
daily, nearly 50,000 cases, 24,000,000
cans, 36,000,000 pounds, having been ex
ported last year.
The Arlington Record has completed
its third year, two of which it has been
under the management of Mr. Jas. M.
Johns, who has made it, especially its
editorial page, one of the brightest
papers in the state. Arlington may
well feel proud of her newspaper.
Specimen Cases.
S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was
troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism,
his stomach was disordered, his liver
was affected to an alarming degree, ap
petite fell away, and he was terribly re
duced in flesh and strength. Three bot
tles of Electric Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111.,
had a running sore on his leg of eight
years' standing. Used three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John Speaker, Cata
waba, O., had five large fever sores on
his leg, doctors said he was incurable,
one bottle Electric Bitters and one box
Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him en
tirely. Sold by Snipes & Kinersly.
British Expedition Harrassed.
London, Dec. 28. A dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta, dated yesterday,
says the Wazierls continue to harrass
the British expeditionary corps, firing
into their camp at night and pouring a
hot fire upon the British force from the
bushes when the column is on the
the march.
Not every woman who arrives at
middle age, retains the color and beauty
