They, how ever, returned to tho Ivast with uuiuy valuable specimens of trees, shrubs ami herbs, wliieh they gave to thn distinguished botanist, Fred eric I'nrsh, to describo and make know n to the world. Daid Doug las, an enthusiastic collector, sent out by the Horticultural, Society of Loudon, reached Oregon April 8, l82o. Mr. Douglas was tho fust professional botanist to visit Ore gon. To his eflorts we must credit the introduction of the Douglas fir into Kutopo, and tho discovery of the Sugar l'iue, the noble fir of which Lane county has six hundred and thirty-six million feet, the Western Yellow Fine which grows luxuriantly hero, the Lovely Fir which is th prido of of our mills ami factories, and hundreds of com mon shrubs and herbs native to the Facilio coast. Mr Douglas paid a second visit to Oregon in 1832, and after mak ing many discoveries in Oregon and California, journeyed to the Ha waiian islands, where he met a tragic and untimely death by fall ing into a pit prepared to entrap Timber.
