Lane county extends from the summit of the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean. In M.e it is about five times as large as Khode Island or Connecticut. It fronts on the Pacific a distance of thirty miles, with a splendid harbor at the city of Florence. It occupies every altitude from 4be ocean beach to tho glazier crowned summit of the "Three Sisters" at the southeastern corner of the county. Tho Coast Range cuts it in two from north to souih. Lane county is half prairie land, with wrv rich soiL producing abundant crops :' grain, hav, fruit nnd vegetables, and half hill and upland. The table-lands bordering the valleys are partly covered with timber or brush, most of it being open enough for tine pasturage. These binds are fertile and yield abundant .-rops when cultivated. Every crop that -rows in the Willamette Valley glows in Lane county. All the farms are sup plied from natural sources with tho best f water. The immense timber wealth, aggregating nearly 2t).00O,(XH).00O feet, is just beginning to receive attention. No r. .unty in the United States has us large m amount cf timber as Lane. The fa mous Bohemia mining district, destined to become the Cripple Creek of Oregon, li3 partly in Lane county. The population of Lane county is c.bout 2:i,000, all white. The county is rapidlv adding to its population desir able immigrants from the Eastern States. Euireue, 11 miles south of Junc tion City, w ith a population of 5,000, is !hf countv seat. The following is a summary of the productions of Lane county for VJuO: HORTICULTURE. Excepting the tropical and citrus va rieties, all fruits thrive in Lane county ever, the tender olive and fig. Al monds, peanuts and walnuts have -..s?ed beyond the experimental tage. Fruit has been grown in Oregon for 40 years, but only r f laio years in a scien-j rii rmr.ner. Tic-' Statu now supplies j m i viii.i ir.i irnuuou, uinm.-n u.m i i.t Horticulture, and the Corvailis cultural College.

Tho mild winters.the fact that native grasses remain green during the year, and theease with which cultivated grasses can bo raised make it an excel lent country for every kind of stock. The general practice of Lane county farmer is to provide fodder for only a small part of the year, during the bal ance of which the stock roam at Lrnw. Running water is abundant, and stock does not lack water in the dried season. The largest owners of homed stock are improving greatly bv infusing fine blood into their herds. There are numerous breeders of .Shorthorns, Galloways, Polled Ansns, Ayrshires, Hereford, Holsteins, lVvons, Aldernevs and Jer seys in tho Willamette Valley. The large introduction of tine bl"od into the cattle herds of this taction has .greatly increased their value and the profit of tho business. Til K AXOOHA COAT. During the past ten years a number of our active farmers have Ucn introduc ing the Angora goat in'.o Lano county, especially in tho foot-hill country. These thrifty farmers had but one object in view at the time these goats were purchased, and that was to i lear up their farms at small expense. They bought the goat for his work and not for his wool. During the past five years, how ever, theie has In-en a great revolution in the goat industry. Manufacturers are beginning to discover the man ad vantages and special qualities of mohair. Numerous desirable and elegant fabrics are now being made from this wool, and it has lxen found that the no! are ex- ceedinelv line and durable. Another sf eebd featuie of this goods is, th.it it is much more free from the attacks of li.'.ths than goods made from sheep's 1. Eur this reason, it i- sai l thr.t tic; major portion of the valuable up holsterv now used in railway cars, is made of ;.".;tt'r: wool.

As to their adapt sibility to our climate there is no ip:e tioii, itnd a" to the numerous advantages ari-ing from raising gots. this has been thoroughly and sati-factorily settled long since.

Of merchantable hardwoods, myrtle, maplo and ash grow to goodlv site, and are used in furniture and implement manufacture, but thin branch of indus try has thus fur been of limited extent. DAIRYING. As a dairying section Lane county possesses many advantages. Grasses of all kinds, both native and cultivated, grow In luxuriance. Cattle have to de pend but little upon hay, since tho warm rains, from early in tho fall to late in the spring, keep the grass growing. Even iu tho dry summer season grass remains fresh and green in the mead ows along river und creek bottoms and in the mountain valleys. Timothy is the leading grass, but write and red clover mako remarkable growths, espe cially the former, which springs up spontaneously on the hills wherever the destruction of tre-s and underbrush gives it an opportunity. The natural grasses, the cool cummer brooics blow ing in from tho Pacific, unfailing water supply, the luxuriance with which the clovers and roots thrive, combine to make Lano county tho ideal home of the Why You Should Settle in Lane County . .

Pecanse there are uplands, prairie lands and alluvial river liottoms. Pecause yon can lx' certain of profitable returns from whatever you put in the soil. P.ccause the winter does not consume what the summer produces. Because there are more and fad ter op portunities for diversified fann ing than elsewhere. Because the seasons are regular, ami no fear of crop failure. Because the country is never scourged by cyclone, devastating storms or blimrN.

Net returns to dairymen range from t"0 to V) per cow per annum, do pending upon tho grade of tin" cow and the intelligence with which the dairy man manages hbj hud. The numerous ocean-going craft leaving tho ports of Portland, Seattle ami Tacoma for the Orient nnd all parts of the glnbo is a perpetual guarantee of a never-failing market fur dairy and all other products. MINING. The mineral resources of Lane county aro extensive and valuable. The dis trict" attracting tho most attention are the Bohemia and Blue Biver. In the former t.S stamps are now installed. There are any number of rich mines in the Bohemia district, principal among which are tho Helena, Annie, Mtisick,' Stocks, A Harlow, Ooldeii Slipper and Champion, and it is destined to become a second Cripple' Creek. Probably the richest body of ore in the district at the present time uncovered is in the Helena property.
