It is found,on convers ing with them, and through history a* well, that they were, as a rule, rather an exceptionally good ’ot of men, in point of enterprise and intelligence. In 1883 the Oregon ¿California railroad was put through, connecting the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento, Cal . with Portland, Ore. This route is famous for various reasons, one of which is its scen ery. Three hundred and thirty-eight miles from San Francisco looms up Mt. Shasta to the height of 14,444 feet above sea level. From the 16 year old daughter of a pi oneer. Josephine county, in Southern Oregon .derives its name. Two hundred and ninety-six miles south of Portland and 475 miles north of San Francisco is located Grants Pass, the county seat. How it got its name is a matter ol spec ulation. The writer h»as every reason to believe that it is solely due to the popu larity of the great general and statesman whose name is so prominent in history.
