OF the soil Of this region. the same
acute observer says:
"The upands are tolerably good, but
the cost of clearing the enormous growth
of timber on them would be beyond their
worth it is too thick and heavy to allow
of crops being obtained by girdling the
trees: and it must be removed or burnt,

however, prairics sufficiently numerous
and extensive for the cultivation OF the

"The Blue Mountains extend from
! North to South, through the whole terri
tory of the Columbia. between the Rocky
Mountains and the chain which borders
the coast. Their course is not so regular
or clearly defined as those of the other
chains; and they appear to be broken i'll
to several ridges, some OF which run to-
wards the Rocky Mountains on the East.
while others join the westcrnmost chain.
These mountains are steep and rocky.

cred with eternal snow they are crossed
by both branches of the Columbia, which
also receives several tributaries from the
valleys on their western sidcs.'
"The Middle Region of Oregon, be-
tween the mountains nearest the coast on
the West and the Blue Mountains on the
East. is more elevated, more dry and less
fertile, than the Low Country. 1t con-
slsts chiefly OF plains, between ridges of
mountains, the soil of which is generally

the Columbia presents, according TO the
Memoir. a constant succession of noun
tain ridges and valics, or plains of small
extent. Beside the Rocky Mountains
there arc two principal ridges. running
nearly parallel to one another and the
coast. The country is thus divided into
three great regions, which differ matcri-
ally in climate, soil, and productions.
The first region, or low country. is that
between the coast and chain of mountains
nearest to the sea the second region is
between the mountains nearest the sea
and the middle ridge, called the Blue
Mountains and the third region. or high
country, is between the Blue Mountains
and the Rocky Mountains. All the di-
visions are crossed by the Columbia Riv-
or, the main stream of which is formed IN
the middle region by the union of several
branches flowing from the Rocky Noun
tains and receiving in their course supplies
from innumerable smaller tributaries drain
ing the Intermediate countries.
OF the chain of mountains running
nearest to the Pacific, Mr. Wycth, in a
letter written in 1893 and quoted by Mr.
Grccnhow, uses the following language:
"The traveller going West from the
Blue Mountains sees the high points of
the California Mountains, about one hun
dred and sixty miles distant, some of
which rise about sixteen thousand feet
above the level of the Pacific. All other
views in America sink into littlcncss in
comparison with this. From one spot,
have seen seven of the high points of this
range, extending from North to South,
their perfect whiteness and steep conical
shape causing them to appear like huge
sugar-loaves."
OF the valley of the .NuAnomah, the
Memoir remarks:
"The climate of this region is more ia
vorablc to agriculture than those of any
other parts of Oregon although it is Ger
talnly adverse to great productvcncss.
The summer is warm and very dry. From
April to October while the westerly winds
prevail rain seldom falls in any part of
Oregon; during the other months, when
the South wind blows constantly, the
rains are almost inccssant in the lower re-
glOn, although sometimes the dry season
there continues longer. Farther from the
Pacific the rains are less frequent and
abundant; and near the Rocky Noun
tans they are reduced to few showers
in the Spring. In the valleys Of the low
country snow is rarely seen, and the
ground is not often frozen, so that plough
ing may generally be carried on during
the whole Winter. In 1884 the Column
bia was frozen for thirteen days, but this
was principally in consequence of the ac-
emulation of ice from above. This
country says Mr.. Wycth, is well calcu-
lated for wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas,
apples, potatoes, and all roots cultivated
in the Northern States of the Union: In
dian corn does not succeed well, and is
an Improbable crop. The yield of wheat,
with very poor cultivation is about fifteen
bushels of the best quality to the acre.
Horses and neat cattle succeed tocrably
well the Winter being mild, they are
enabled to subsst upon the produce of the
open fields. Hogs live and multiply, but
cannot be made fat on the range of the

THE OVERFLOW.

The Globe says, in long editorial ar
ticle, "Wilh General Jackson came tn
overthrow of the Bank, internal improve
ment, and continual reduction of the rar-
iff.''
Even so. The Bank was ovcrthrown.
and the public funds were put into the pet
Banks, with Instructions to have it lent
out freely, so that the outcry on account
of the removals might not be so loud and
long. And orders were sent to the sever
al Jackson states, 1or The Government
was, to nearly all intents and purposes,
central and consolidatedD to have as many
State Banks chartered as possible. That
was done, and the country was nooded
with paper, andmohey was scarcely worth
four per cent. per annum. Here was
glorious flush. The tariff was gradually
reduced, so that foreign goods could be
imported very low, and the case Of credit.
arising out of the unnatural flush caused
by the overthrow OF the Bank, induced
large importations, and brought US indebt-
ed to England far beyond the amount of
our exports, so that silver and gold were
collected and sent away; and this caused
a driving in of the Bank notes, and that
led to a calling IN of the Bank debts, and
that led to trouble-and the trouble has
not yet been overcome.

which it is hardly to be expected her
friends will pay for her. Comment upon
such atrocities rs unnecessary"
Now we are opposed to the law, and
think it an unjust one, but we cannot re-
frain from expressing our unqualified dis
appreciation of any association who will
misrepresent facts as they have been mis-
represented n this instance, and we would
suggest to the above named association
the propriety of adhereing to candour and
truth in their statements, and their pre-
tentioEs to philanthrophy.
Here are the facts in the case the wo-
man was not the wife of Michael Kerr,
but was drunken prostitute, whom he
had taken up, and brought into this state,
from Delaware 10 avoid his lawful wife.
When she came here she was told the con-
sequence of her staying, and advised and
warned to leave the state, but refused to
do it; she was drunken and noisy, and
created great deal OF disturbance in the
street in which shelived, and her conduct
being observed by an officer she was ta-
ken, tihder the law in question, and put in
1; her fine of $40. was paid by the cili~
ms Of the town; she was liberated, and
idmonisbed again to 60 into Delaware.
and there remain; she went into that State,
but very soor returned, and was again
imprisoned. She was liberated by the
Court, not as is inlimated in the report, on
account of the uncons,itulionalily of the
act, but because of some inlormality in the
proceedings before the Orphans Court,
before committing her to jail These are
the simple facts of the case and may be
sufficient to cure the sympathy, excited
by the association in their version of the
case. But we do not wish to be thought,
to be defending the law in question, which
we believe to be sinexcusab,y harsh and
unjustifable.
