"We give the names of some of the
brave and noble men who had the
courage to face the dangers and priva
tions of the plains and came out to this
. lint rod valley to seek homes and for
tunes. Posterity should never let the
names of these noble pioneers die. The
men and women who first invaded
this valley and planted the standard
honor and credit than the oft crowned
heroes of many battles. We are sorry
we cannot give a compleie list, and we
hope that those who may be left out
will remember that our acquaintance
Is limited and therefore opportunity is
not first class:

immense water power, which is utilized
by the Brownsville Woolen Mills Com

Situated in the valley at the foot of
the Cascade mountains, whose heights
and heavily-timbered sides offer pro
tection from wind and fctorm, its pic
turesque dwellings, neatly-arranged
grounds, in cool shade of innumerable
trees, present a picture of comfort and
prosperity, giving evidence of growth
and business energy.
In the near streams are innumerable
trout. iTie woods abound ill pheasant,
groupe and quail, while for the more
venturesome hunter, farther back in
the dense growth of fir and pine, are
found bear, deer and the more formid
able cougar. The last however, have
given way to the advauce of civiliza
tion and only exist in the more remote
and inaceessable parts.
Ktretehing away to the west and
south are the fertile plains of the Wil
lamette valley, carpeted with number
less fields of golden grain, dotted with
farm bouses and settlements, showing
a prosperous and successful people. I
The moral and religious tone of the
town is above average, crime being a
rarity, and even the more petty offenses
are almost unknown. Enjoying the

is situated upon the hill top north and
east of the town proper, Is in a healthy
location, and from its elevation com

river, across which a dam has been
built, turning almost the entire river
into a race and conducting the water
to the mill, giving an inexhaustible
supply. Surrounding and in near
proximity to the mill are the dwellings
of the operatives, and the observer will
be struck with the general air of neat
