THE GARDEN SPoT.-A correspondent
In an exchange says: Is there another
SPOT on the top of this earth where man can
more nearly produce all the necessaries of
life-his breadstuifs, his roots, his fruits,
his vegetables. his salmon and numerous
other fishes, his wool, his sugar beet, his
building lumber and fencing and firewood.
etc-at so little expense and so much ease
as he can in the Willamette valley? As a
matter of fact our people are almost wholly
independent of the outside world, and yet
there are those who are always complaining
lin fact who would complain il they were
going to be hung. Contrast our ednable
climate and never failing crops with the
grasshopper regions of Kansas, or the
drouth- stricken valleys of Nebraska, or the
frost-bitten plains OF the Dakotss; with
those countries, where it takes one-half the
year to raise enough to keep your stock and
your ownseives the other half-where they
are famed in winter by the cuttiap winds
from the north pole, and in the summer by
the scorching blasts from purgatory. Who
ever heard OF colony leaving Oregon for
any other country? While they NAV not
come very rapidly. They always die here
when they do come.

the land about the entrance 10 the caves.
This cave enterprise. remarks the Courier.

terprises built on iawbone which have gone
