LANE COUNTY;! OREGON Bountiful Fields, And a Salubrious Climate combine to Hake It the Garden of the West. Lane County. Lane county extendi fromhe summit of the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean. In size it is about five times as large as Rhode 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 tbe ocean beach to the glaxier crowned summit of the "Three Sisters" At the southeastern corner cf the county. The. Coast Kange cuts it in two from north to south. Tjin. county is half prairie land, with ' very rich soil! producing abundant crops of grain, hav, fruit and 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 lands are fertile and yield abundant crops w hen cultivated. Every crop that grows in the Willamette Valley glows In Lane county. All the farms are sup plied from natural sources with the best .if water. The immense timber wealth, aggregating nearly 29.000,000,000 feet, is lust beginning to receive auenuon. ... .1... T':.l Ct.Ao 1..,.. urn ' No countv in the United States has hs large n Amount of timber as Lane. The fa mous Bohemia mining district, destined to become the Cripple Creek of Oregon, lies partly in Lane county. The population of Lane county is about 22,000, all white. The county is rapidly adding to its population desir able immigrants from the Eastern State. Eug?ne, 14 Utiles south of Junc tion City, with a population of 5,000, is the couutv seat. The following is a summary of the productions of Lane county for 1900: HORTKTLT'JUE. L:ccepting the tropical and citrus va rieties, a'l fruits thrive in Lane county even the tender olive and I:g. Al monds, peanuts an 1 walnuts have passed beyond the experimental stage. Fruit has tieen grown in Ore ' in for 40 wars, but onlv of lave years in a scien- tiiic ru inner. The State now supplies J und information, through the Board . llortieulturo and the CurvaiUa Agri . ultiiral College. No one luxd longer foil through ignorance, of proper meth A of :ock selection, planting, etilliva tion, pruning and science of pollination. Here as elsewhere horticulture, calls for painstaking and intelligent work and reat patience. large profits have Wen made in the pas-, depending of oourse to considerable extent upon the energy, care and capital expend. 1, as well as election of stock ami locality. Oregon ranks a ;rood second in vr.rxEti prune prodnctioii, which is now practi'-a'iy conlincl to the Pacific states.

The mild wiutera.the fnct that native grasses remain green duriug the year, and the ease with which cultivated grasses can bo raised make it an excel lent country for every kind of slock. The general practice of I.ane county farmer is to provide fodder for only a small part of the year, during the bal ance of which the stock roam at hum Running water is abundant, and stock does not lack water in the driest season. The largest owners of horned stock are improving greatly bv infusing fine blood into their herds. There are numerous breeders of Shorthorns, Galloways, Polled Angus, Ayrshire, Hereford, llolsteins, Devout, Alderueya and Jer seys in the Willamette alley. The large introduction of tine bl-nxl into the cattle herds of this section lias greatly increased their value and the profit of the business. THR ASCIOKA GOAT. During the past ten years a number of our active farmers have been introduc ing the Angora goat into Lane county, especially in the foot-hill country. These thrifty farmers had but one object in view at the time these goats were purchased, and that was to clear 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, there has been a great revolution in the coat indutry. Manufacturers aro beginning to discover the many ad vantage and special qualities of mohair. Numerous desirable and elegant fabrics are now being made from this wool, and it has beeu found that the goods are ex tecdmalv fiuo and durable. Anothei special feature of this g.ts is, that it is mti'-ii mi re free from the attacks of moths than goods made from sheep's wool. For this reason, it is said thct the major portion of tho valuable up- hoUierv i.ow usta m railway cars, is made of goat's wool. The entire number of Angara goats i Lane county today will probably no" exceed C'.UOO head. V.'f ien Wft come to consider the vast area of good brush country in this county, so well adapted to goat grazing, we can readily cc that, instead of the hi.tall number now kept, we could keep to advantage hundreds of thousands of goaU in J.ane county atone and keep them well. We arj speaking now more particularly as to tne value of their wool and increase and of the profits that art bound to oc cur bv coLtinuous aud thrifty care of the domestic goat. As to their adapt ability to our climate there is no ques tion, and an to the numerous advantages flrUing from raising nortn. tlii" has been thoroughly and satisfactorily settled lonif since. We would earnestly commend this subject to tlie active "ami enterprising farmers f'om th Ka"tern Statos, who are now 1 anting and 'iho ex; c;Ct to l ei toin I ir.i fo.'iity, recogmiog tlm ilii.4 uidu-rtry may b- made one of the mont useful and profitable within the , . , . , A eutirt r.in 'e of li.rn, s'.im! iietd products THE LUMBER IXDT'STKY.

At a dairying section Lane county possesses many advantages, Grasses of all klmls, th native and cultivated, grow in luxuriance.

Even In the dry summer season grass rHmftlni frAh ml ereen In the mead ows aloug riveV and creek bottoms and in the mountain valleys, umouiy ir the leading grass, but white and ml clover make remarkable growths, espe cially the former, which springs up spontaneously on tne nr.is wnerever inn destruction f trees and underbrush eivpm it an oooorluutty.
