in his letter:
The courteous manner In which

We do not ohiect to argument de

our numbers are rcfiicctablc enough

Much has been written of this
western country that requires a

The-county contains, including
valley, prairie and mountain lands,
about DjO.OOO acres.
There are two main divisions, the
mountain and the valley. The
latter extends from tho "Wlllametli

mountains, a distance of about tit
teen miles.
The mountainous portion contains
some fourteen townships of mostl,.
uiisurvoyed land; lying in a strip
twelve miles north and south by
forty miles east and west, and com
prises all classes of land, from rich
narrow valleys in tho passes, up
through all the grades of rolling,
hilly and broken, to that of rock
