11 v y 1 j:a.sti5i:n okkoos. Vivid nnrt l'oetlcnl IR'ftCiiptlun 1,y II. W. lliillmiin. From Kan Francisco Frctthoughl. Tho great, wicrd plains nnd arid dcs ortB of Eastern Oregon aro as yet un noticed for their agricultural richncHs and productivo value. They lie in si lent slcndor, only valuable- for range ; the eoil is mostly good, and if irrigated would teem with the rankest vegeta tion. Whero the vast sage-brush plains stretch their heated, dusty anna away to the pine-clad mountains, you are made weary by tho glimmering mirage. It trembles in tho morning air like u gos&amcr veil spread out be neath tho nzuru heavens, and drifts away in tho hazy distance like a phan tom in itH beauty. Hero and there around among the tangled shrubbery tho golden bUnch-grass decks the fer tile soil, only a bilent invitation to tho strong hand of honest toil to rupture tho sod and reap tho reward that ever awaits to bo grasped by the patient, weary laborer. Gently sloping away, up down incessantly, tho alluvial lulls roll back from the level plain to meet and greet the higher mountain. Stock range in largo numbers wher ever there is water, and a little spring bubbles out of the mountain sido here and there, giving life and nourishment to the dear old pines, the gentle wil lows, and, last of all but not the least, the dainty littlo flowers that seek tho quiet, unknown dells to be born, to live, to die I The high old pinc-clad mountains, nature's noble monuments, monuments that tho waste and wear of ages cannot tear down, nor the storms of timo ounce, iift thoir proud, haughty heads high up into tho ethc rial blue. They tower in mute mag nificence above tho lowly vales below, where man is toiling and sweating and working beneath tho burden of un deserved labor. But then, labor is sweet if wo labor for those who are near and dear to us, and after all wo cannot avoid looking up to their snowy summits and admiring their silent piotuiosqucncss, even if wo do so at intervals of rest in our incessant toil. Wo aro living at an ago when tho resources of a valuablo country are de veloped with all consistent rapidity, for tho spread and growth of our civili zation demand it. Tho conscious eyo of tho artisan peers into tho most se cret eaves of nature's bosom for tho gems that may bo there. Tho anxious minor upturns every rock and stone, explores every crevice for tho spark ling treasures that earth contains within her vaults of richness. Tho moist sod is turned with tho plow, and patient merit garners in its just re ward. Tho archived of tho mountains aro oponed up to tho dazzled gaze of tho laborer, whose toil lias been coined into wealth and happiness. Honest labor never goes long without reward. Hope is tho mother of triumph. Sw eeps is the inevitable result of patience. In Eastern Oregon tho facilities for advancoMient aro inixliaustible, if only willing hands aro applied and energy is exercised. The country is endowed with natural richness. It is particu larly adapted to tho advance of civili zation in its varied forms and features. Tho soil is productive; timber is plon ty; mineral wealth of untold aggrega tions exists in tho rugged dill's and sandy basins; range is splendid; health and happiness crown every homo whero love and labor rule su preme; manufacturing advantages aro spread on ifil sides. People is all wo lack, and the Occident will be laid before tho world, a model of progress, a model of tho skill and ingenuity of a prosperous, energetic people. Educational facilities abound. Good schools aro in successful operation in every city, town, humlet and commu nity. It teems that an earnest inter est is taken by all hands, and tho high, pmo atmosphero impjgts a vigor that only healthy climate can. The scen ery is beautiful and inspiring. There in a poetic sido to ovory nook and cor ner, however remote. Thcro is poetry in the skies, tho mountains, in tho al loys, and in tho Mowers that' nod and bond before tho pressure of tho au tumn breeze. And best of all wo aro becoming pretty well Liberalized. Somehow tho people of this country nro naturally and truly! 11 liberal, open hearted, genial das. No traveler is homeless. Evory threshold is a ehrino for ovory being, even tho stranger, far from his dear old ilre&ido and friends. There is a kind of attach ment in tho hearts of pioneers that docs not seem to dio, and the old tolo of pioneer has not yet left tho settler of Oregon, California, Washington, tand other states, for comparatively it - is only a short time since the country was a wilderness; since tho haughty rod man roamed in untrammeled liber ty over tho plain, down tho canyons, over tho mountains, Hut what peace and fucdom will not achieve in the advanco of civilization, hostility and subjugation need not a'tcmpt. Years will unfold tho gems of Free thought, and some day the sun will set-where nought but peace and lovo and freedom undeliled will meet the lingering gazo No darkened brow from superstition's haunts will shed its sorrow over the world, and man shall walk in peace with man, and all the world will glow with freedom and glory uncontrolled. The fruit of labor greets the waiting ones, and those who pluck their fruit from bowers where all life's joy is clustered, shall find tho land, and pence shall reign a god supreme. llespectfully, Union, Oiogon. 15.
