T the Editm- of The tnion i
Dar Sir: Having treated n fully n lime
m il! admit upon the gearal feature! of Oregon,
and touched upon all parts save the louthern dis
trict, we M ill now briefly glanee at that, and
then proceed to consider its past ami present con
dition, and anine of the causci that have led to
this remarkable change.
So far as we are informed concerning the coun
try from California to the Valley of the Willamet
te, considerable portions of which M-e have visi
ted, it must be tegarded, 'm a whole' as an' un
even, hilly, or. mountainous district well water
ed, heavily timbered, and the prairie portions
admirably grossed.
The Umphqiia Valley is extremely verdant and
beautiful, and a most inviting district to the agr
iculturist, as well as to the herdsman', but un
fortunately, it is not of great extent, and the riv
er is too rapid tor easy or safe navigation.
Most, then, of this southern district, from its
unfavorable surface and rapid streams, 'notwith
standing its excellent soil,' is better adapted to
herding and manufacturing purposes than agri
culture. Very possibly, from indications, it will
be found to be rich in minerals; though of this
we have no certain knowledge or positive proof.
The Willamette valley, then, must be regard
ed as the largest connected portion, and most im
portant agricultural district of the territory, and
at present the heart and centre of operations in
that country four-fifths of the colony being
comprised within a distance of sixty miles in
length, and half that in breadth. And here,
where twenty years ago naught was seen or
"hoard but the busy otter, the working beaver, the
timid deer, or bounding elk, or wild fluttering
fowls of heaven, or savage men, mingling the
war-whoop with the dismal howling of beasts of
prey, now are seen the fruitful fields, the flowery
gardens, the domestic herds, the quiet homes,
the cheerful school, Christian temples, Ind the
voice of melody and thanksgiving in that delight
ful valley.
Yes, sir, wenorv grow all the fruits and trains
peculiar to the Northern and Western States
have the choicest garden, with vegetables of
every description ; and the cheerful prairies are
enlivened by thousands of domestic herds, roam
ing at pleasure, and luxuriating upon Nature's
own bountiful provision, both Summer and Win
ter. We now number, in all, somewhere in the
vicinity of seven thousand ; have seven grist
mills and ten saw-mills in operation; five neat
church edifices, some S or 10 common schools,
one large academical institution, well conducted;
four American and two English stores; a valu
able printing press ; a town, at the falls of the
Willamette, of five hundred inhabitants; and a
peaceable, happy, orderly people in town ami
itvirstry, living without brandy or alcohol, under
laws of theii own making; and in obtaining the
grei Things of this life, they are getting forward
most commendably.
Onr foreign commercial relations are not well
established, and a circulating medium is much
needed, as gold and silver is scarce; but in the
absence of both, for reasons to be assigned here
after, our colony in Oregon has more rapildly ad
vanced their state than any hcrctol'oie planted.
