Let one follow tho route Of those can
yassing the county, In the interest Of the
tive parties, and country will be trayers-
ed unequaled for agricultural parposes, a
land flowing with wh5at, instead or milk
and honey, practically the whole Of
Linn, the banner county. Beginning at
Scio you find yourself in the heart Of one
Of the finest irrigated tracts Of land In the
world, In the midst OF the celebrated
"Fork," which embraces tho precincts Of
Scio Franklin Butte, santiam, Waterloo
and Fox Valley. Drained by the North
Fork, or creek, CrabtTse creek, Beaver
creek and the South Fork, you have a
country we'll adopted both for wheat rails
ing and general agriculture, and stock
raising. GsIng from Scio 10 Millers, thence
through Albany 10 Sbodds, Ha1sey and
Harrisburg, the railroad towns Of the
county, you pass over a wheat belt never
surpassed, by the side Of river the placid
Willamette, as beautiful az one will meet
In an eighty days trip, OF course excepting
the grandeur Of Hudson but being the
SSHteE W Fatlby HhvSs 5SSbtfJ pDSStHstb
a natural beauty aud attractiveness that
even rugged rocks and steep banks would
not enhance I'm the eyes Of many. From
Harrisburg 10 Brownsville, thence 10
Charlottesville and Sweet House one
hnds oneself In different kind Of coun-
try, one we'll adapted 10 stock raising, and
st the same time capable of raising wheat.
Coming back TO Lebanon along the South
Fork Of the Santiam, Waterloo and Soda
Vile attract the attention as the future
Saratoga and BalIston Springs OF Oregon,
the waters Of which, even now, bring
many from a distance who arc seeking
health or enjoyment, From Lebanon 10
Albany takes one through a prairie or
plain, or better a level country, dotted
with we'll built houses, and covered with
wheat fields now in their glory.
Could the whole route be formed into a
panoramic view like the famous Chicago
500, 900 seems. it would present a picture
on which people would gaze, and say
"Vsriiy Linn Is fine county, and has
prospects before It which should keep up
tho best spirit Of It's Inhabitants"
