Union County.
From u pamphlet issued by the ln
Jon County Hoard (if Immigration
mo take the following:
"Union county has tin area of ",
tOO squnro miles or 3,15d,000 acres
There arc about 2,000,000 acres .stir
vcyed, which leaves nearly l,f00,00
unsurvoyed. Nearly all of the tiusiu
vcyed laud is valuable rot- timber am
pasture, and part for agriculture, Of
tho 2, 000, 000 acre surveyed lands
about 1,200,000 are valuable for ay
rietilture and all tho rest is the finest
of timber and grazing land. The
rou-ih and rugged pnrt of tho Powder
river mountains is a section valuable
for the minerals obtained therein, and
us such, worth more than an equal
uniout of smoother land. .Minornb
arc also found in portions of tho IHnc
mountains and tho "Wallowa. Thus
you will sec that wo have not only a
diversified country, but also room
and occupation for many. Xo otic
class can nave a monopoly of our
country. Here farmer, fruit raiser,
stockman, lumberman and miner
can each find room, and those condi
tions necessary to succes in their
brunch of trade. Tho settling of the
country of course gives occupation to
those of tho different trades and pro
fessions, and business opportunities
will open up as the country improves.
Tho largest bodies of farming lands
are found in Pino, JCagle, Lower
Powder, Clover Creek. Indian, Wal
lowa and Grande Hondo valleys.
The Ontndo Hondo valley occupies the
middle western part of tho country,
having an nrca of f00 square miles.
This is as line a body of rich, level,
agricultural laud as there is on the
Pacific Coast. It lies along t tic east
ern bnso of (ho Hluo mountains; to
tho north und to the south, are spurs.
of tlieso mountains, to the cast a spur
"of tho Powder river mountains, thus
entirely encircling the Vltlley. The
vullcy is well watered, ami liloug the
baso and on the sides 'if the moun
tains, there is plenty of timber.
Small streams How from each side
Into tho Grande Hondo liver, which
coming into the valleys at the south
west corner throuirh the Oro Dell can
yon, fi(ws out at the northeast corner
of the valley i Tho soil utld climate
is adapted to tint culture of grain,
liny, hops) fruits and Vegetables.
Union county is a largo country
Within itself, and each portion has its
advantages, Some sections arc near
tho railroad and have better shipping
facilities, others have superior advan
tages us a stock region, and others
ngain being adjacent to the mining
region arc enabled to sell their pro
ducts at their doors.
I must call attention to the rolling
und somcwhltl rttgBvd html next to
tho mountains, known as tho foot
hills. Among these hills are many
little valleys in which tho soli Is sun
prisingly fertile Many small farms
can be had under the homestead and
pre-emption acts, which can be
Worked profitably ill connection with
Mockgrowiug. Tho foot-hills have a
growth of nutritious bunch grass, and
Ufford range for Mtiilll ur htrgo herds.
The more rttggcd hilis aro covered
With lino timber, available for fuel,
tunclug and building) and besides are
Valuable for summer ritniiOt Home
ot tin hills aro arable and (he soil rich
tUHlduupt Grain hay and fruit can
bo cultivated With yowl results.
Many of tho fine orchards of (lie
northwest Will ouo day bo found
among these rolling hills, which the
early bottlurs httvo passed by. In all
liow countries, valley laud is chosen
by first comersi ltreinaliiR for those
Who settle in after years to demon
Mrute tho value of foot-hill laud.
Vhey Who como to Union county this

!,,,,s ."" n'lvniilnjiw In the way of
j climafo, The mountains protect u
from the cold winds whioh would
sweep over an open country in winter
and cool the. heat of summer. There
is no long rainy season as in tin wet
em part of the .State, nor the droughts
and heat of California. .Summer
uights arc delightfully cool and picas
ant. Winter seasons are not long
or severe. Wo have a medium be
tween tho cold winters of States
further east in our latitude, the hot
dry summers of California, and the
long rainy seasons of Western Oicgon.
mixi:i:ai.3
are found in the eastern and south
western portions of Union county.
Minerals found ate gold in quart, and
placer, galena, copper and silver.
The. minerals will prove of great
wealth to our county, furnishing em
ployment to a considerable number of
men and a home market for our pro
ctice. Tho recently discovered gold
mines on Pine crock are in Union
county und at this time give promise
of one of the richest camps ever dis
covered on t lie coast. There are also
large bodies of limestone. Lime is
destined to he an important item ot
export, Limestone is not found in all
parts of the Northwest, For building
stone there is granite, limestone
magnesia rock and inarbje. The de
posits of marblo arc extensive and said
by experts to bo the best in the United
States.
