OREGON CITY, July 8, 1914.
Dear Sir-The colony is rapidly increasing in
numbers, and proporionably rising in importance.
Oregon city, the little town is called at the falls
Of the Willamette, contains population Of several
hundred, respectable stores, 3 saw mills, 2 -four
mills, of which has five OF stone, and is worth
al least $4,000. 1t is IA stupendous building put up

cast iron.
The surrounding country is rising and improving
correspondinRly. We have now a regular colonial
form Of government, well administered. Five dis

gslature closed quiet but effective session Of days
sitting week before last having passed rs bills, all
in due form and several of them Of considerable

the happiness see it pass by unanimous vote,
into law Of the land:-every member coming up to
the mark like mn of moral courage, though but
of the number communicates of any religious body
Peter Bornett, ESQ.,, late from Mo s'be it said TO
his honor" introduced the bill and spoke TO it in "A

bill is popular.
Since my arrival several artful attempts have been
made to introduce it among but the great maori-

there AT the Inauguration, give very gratifying
count of the republican simplicity and good order
which prevailed. There rioting or rowdyism

The transfer of power from Mr.. Tyler to Mr.. Polk

power. Col Polk sat his left hand private citi.

the authority of Office, and Mr.. Tyler stripped of
every vestge of authority The day, he started
in carriage for his home, but the steamer had gone
before he reached the wharf, and he compelled
Such is the easy and satisfactory working
of smple republican Constitution. May il be SO
TO The end of time.
There are some editors who seem to their ut
