With regard to the honor heaped upon
me in this country, am High Sheriff and
Territorial Marshall of Oregon - have
been going around the circuit together with
the court officers, and have. to start to the
mouth of the river in the morning to the
county of Claisop. We have five counties
in the territory, viz: Clack4nas, Yamhlls,
Champoick. Twality and Clatsop. AS for
our connection with the United States. we
are almost independent of Uncle Sam.
For some time past have been employed
taking the census--the number Of souls Is
$4,000.
Now, as respecting Oregon, ! have ex-
plored the whole country, and think it the
lnest upon the earth-the soil is very good
the timber SO tall that have seen Is rails
cut | feet hong, gotten out OF tree ~ IN
ches through al the butt. The climate is fine
too; have not seen any ice this winter,
we have had FIVE months rain without in
termission: still our stock keeps fat without
feeding them any; the grain here looks like
your clover fields in June. Come to Ore
gon, and make your children rich, and live
happy yourself. Should you move to the
country, bring two or three hundred heifers
as they are the best property in the country.
There is not half the trouble and danger in
coming here. that you ,hink--if you start
half the trouble is over
