Although much has been done to bring ourStutolulo favorable notion, much romaltis to Im done, for, ns yet, tho generality of peo ple know hut little about It; mid oven in this westorn country I am often aaked, ' Do you grow apples In Oregon?'1 ' Is it much cold er there than huru?"

Af ter wo wore comfortably seated around tbo lire, Iho ovortetr, knowing I was from Or ojjon, began to quiz mo about our crops. Af tor satisfy loir hiHcuriotdiy as to the number of bushels of wheat and oatn wo could raise to tho aero, ho asked mo what wo did with all our grain, lo whlnli I replied that we shipped a great deal of our wheat dirt oily 10 Liverpool, aud that I had sern atone lime as li lull as ell 111 or ten KnglMi vesselHat Port Und loading with gialu.
