fabulous In extent. Tho Cascade
rango atone, which runs from tho
north to tho south of the statoH
through Ita entire length, a d'stanco
of nearly 300 miles, la covered with
unbroken forests. Tho width of
this vaBt treo bearing region varies
I from IT, to 3G miles. The trees

of gigantic site. They grow so
quickly In many places that It seems

Theso statements are In no senso
the language of extravagance. Should
they bo disputed, they may easily Im
defended on any platform. Enough
has been said, however, to sustain
tho statement made at tho outset,
that for variety of agricultural pro

even an equal among the states of
