afternoon, as the FaRir of Ava was walking
down Main street, he met broad brimmed

THE Nav STATE-Oregon is an immense
region 1t contains Is5, 900 square miles, which
is as much as four or five of the largest Eastern
States put togther, and larger than all New Eng
land and New York. So distant will its capital
be from its borders, ultimately, when emigration
has settled it throughout, that it will probably
need to be divided once or twice more
There are three natural divisions of the coun-
try: the upper region, between the Blue and
Rocky Mountains the middle region, extend.
ing from the Blue to the Cascade Mountains /;
and the lower region, on the sea coast Each ol
these would make large State by itself
In respect to natural advantages no Eastern
State is so highly favored. 1t has mild aud
healthy climate, adapted to produce all the
grains cultivated in the Union. It's sea coast is
three hundred miles in length, with numerous
harbors. Its fisheries, of salmon, &C., are appa-
renGy inexhauSlible. 1t is already prolific OF
lurs and lumber. Its whole soil, except the
mountain peaks, is adapted to cultivation and
grazing, (probably no country is better adapted
for wool, fax and hemp and fruit) Its noun
tains are covered with abundant and excellent
timber, and will furnish large supplies of iron
and coal. Nor is it unlikely that il will prove a
gold producing region, for the same ranges of
rocks that are filled with gold in California and
British Columbia pass through Oregon. The
smaller streams furnish an abundance of water
power, and the larger ones, inland navigation
throughout the State Take it all in all, no re-
gion in the United States is better adapted for
the support of dense population.

ton more to the raising of sheep. The fol-
lowing item, which We clip from an Ohio pa
