Very respeotfully, N. C. McFaiuand, Commissioner. W"r -yjVwywK Lane County. Line county is one of the largest and most productive agricultural counties iu the State of Oregon. It extends from the Pacific Oj an on tho west to the summit of the Cascade Mountains on the east, a distance of about 100 miles in length, and from Douglas county on the south t Linn and Benton counties on the north, an average width of about fifty miles. It embraces all of the upper and finest poition of the Willamette Valley, which is in every respect the largest body cf agricultural land an 1 the most beautiful and attractive valley of Oregon and of the Pacifio Coast. The Willamette Valley is from thirty to forty miles in width and about 150 miles in length, lying along both sides of tho river of that name, which rises in the Cascade Moun tains, flows west some distance and then north more than 100 miles to where it empties into the Columbia river. The valley is mostly level prairie, walled in on both sides with great mountain ranges, heavily timbered, and so high that anow may be seen from nearly all parts of the valley ou many of the peaks every month in the summer. The Cascide range extends along the oast and the Coast range along the west. On the south the Willamette Valley is separated from the Umpqua valley by the Callapooia chain of mountains, which extends from the Cascades to the Coast range, and forms tho bound try between Lane and Djuglas counties. All the upper port of this grand valley of the Willamette a valley unsurpassed in the world for the silubnty of its climate, the fer tility of its soil and the beauty of its scenery lies in Lane county. The valley is com posed mainly of level or slightly rolling, fer tile prairie, bordered next to the mountains with low fcot hills, covered with grass and scattering oak, pine, fir, maple, balm, alder, hazel and other varieties of timber. Each river and creek Sowing through the valley is fringed with a narrow strip of timber, con sisting of fir, maple, balm, ash, alder, cedar, etc. The mountain ranges on the south, west and east are heavily timbered with forests of fir, pine, cedar, hemlock, Bpruce and other varieties of giant growth. Besides the valley land, which never fails to produce abundant crops of wheat, oats, barley, rye and other cereals, as well as vegeribles and ,'ruits of nearly every variety, there is a good deal of ended farming land along the rivers and smaller water courses in the mountains. Tho scenery, viewed from almost any point iu the valley, is grand and beautiful. On the east is seen the blue range ot tho Cascade mountains, with their snow-coveed summits looming up in tho distance in summer and winter alike; on tho south the Callapioia mountains, their foot hills covered with oak and their summits with evergreen; and on the west tho heavily timbered Coast moun tains. The valley is green with verdure dur ing winter, while the mountains are covered with snow down almost to their base. Lane county has an area of abjut two and a 'half millions of acres, of which about one-fourth is level praine and tlirec-iourths timber and mountain land. About a million and a half acres are surveyed, and about one million acres, in the timber and mountains, are un- surveyed. Ouly about three hundred and seventy thousand acres are now settled by a population of about twelve or thirteen thous and, Land can be purchased iu the hills and at tho head of steamboat navigation. It is surrounded by grand and beautiful scenery. Northward, the broad level valley stretches away a distance of more than 100 miles. Looking eastward, you see the "Three Sis ters," three tnow-crowncd summits of tho Cascades, find other snow capped peaks 70 miles away. Towards the west tho Coast rnge is in view, and on the siuth Spencer Butto, tho highest peak in a chain of foot hills which project down to within two or thn e miles of town, rises to an aiutuue en 1 ,fi00 feet above the town and 2,500 fc;t above tho level of the ocean The town contains maiiyneat residences and substantial rusiness houses, and m ny new buildings are being constructed. The present population is from 1,600 to 1,700, and is rapidly increasing. The principal public buildings of Eugene City are; The Stite Unicersity, a brick structure, erected in 1874 at ac03t of $50,000, and endowed with about $125,000, inclu ling the funds arising from the sile of the Univer sity lands granted to the State by Congress, and the $50,000 recently donited by Henry Villard; the Court House, irected in 1855; the public school, a large wooden building, erected in 1877, at a cost of about $12,000; five churches; one largo flouring mill; one woolen mill for carding and spinning; one iron foundry.

The railroad company wish to buy this bed for $500. al though they paid $500 per month for the uso of it last summer.

The croppinga in tho vicinity and projecting bluffs are all of hard granite. Redding Indtixiulent: Forty-eighth box cars, loaded with Chinese laborers, arrived here Sunday moruinir. dirtct from the Mniavu desert. Tiie train was not allowed 1 1 stop anywhere near Sacramento. The engines were changed about six miles the other side ot that cay while the cars were in motion, and when the train passed through there it was going at the rate of forty miles au hour. It is said that if the train had atonned in Sacramento the Chinese would have all gone over to Chinatown. They have been down in tne soutneru part oi the state to work three years and did uotwaut to come to work up this way. Que or two Mongolians jumped from the car while they were going at the rate of twouty miles an hour, aud were seen to roll over aud over.

The opportunities for farming, stock rais ing, lumbering and manufacturing are great. Ten times the present population would not settle the county as thickly as many parts ot tho country alonit the Atlantic Coast and in the Mississippi valley, where the natural re sources aud advantages are not so great as they are here. Splendid water power for manufacturing exists along nearly all the streams.

The Bolknap Springs are a little further un the river. The Kitson Springs aie about the same distance southeast of Eugene near the Middle Fork. All of these springs are favorite resorts for invalids and pleasure seekers during the tummer months. Along the Siuslaw river, which flows through the Callipxiai and Coast mountains int the l'acifio Ocean, there is also a splendid country foi huuting and fishing and a fine opportunity for new settlers to get good land. The Sius law is becoming more and more a favorite re sort for huuting aud fishing parties every summer, and already contains a considerable number ot inuustr.pus, enterprising settlers, with room for many more of the aamo class.
