One of the chief features OF any and all
countries is climate. 1t is this that makes
the difference between the desert and the
garden. Lane County has climate that
is as near perfection as can be found any,
where. The greatest complaint against
the country lying to the north of us is
''too much rain," and strong objection
to that lying TO the south is "too much
drouth," but Lane County, Or, lying be-
tween these two extremes, enjoys the BEN
efts of q happy medium, having just
enough OF both sunshine and rain to in
sure good crops and good health. No irri-
CATION is needed for any crop. Temper
ature ranges within moderate bounds,
giving no sudden changes. SUNNI n
nights are invariably cool enough to re-
Quire one or more blankets for comfort.

ing to repass them again, he saw fer the
first time some one reclining in the buggy
and another person leaning against it.
This morning he communicated this
fact and parties repaired to the spot
They found unmistakable evidences of a
struggle near where the carriage had been
standing. On the pank was found a large
ring, the property of Cole. and one which
he had worn the day before. Near it was
breastpin, some hairpins, a portion of a
feather and a cluster of artificial flowers,
all identified as part of Miss Perezs wear
ing apparel worn when she left in COM
pany with Cole.
Further examination of the dead
woman revealed that she had bruises
about the neck, and that her clothing was
torn almost to shreds. The autopsy
showed that death must have resulted
from strangulation. The lungs were Sc
verely congested and other conditions
pointed to death at the hands CT the
strangler.
Cole was brought to Salinas at o'clock
this morning and lodged in the County
Jail. The Coroner's inquest will be held

The leading ind ustries of the county are
divided into wheat raising. hop culture,
fruit raising, numbering, mining, salmon
canning, STOCK raising and dairying.
Wheat raising in Lane County, with
proper culture, yields from twenty to sixty
bushels to the acre. and the usual crop of
the county is 500 900 bushels. Oats, barley,
corn, clover and timothy do well.
Hop culture is one of the leading indu
tries, about 1900 acres being cultivated in
pounds to the acre and the average price
is II cents per pound. There is still much
good hop land awaiting cultivation, to be
bought for $40 to $50 per acre.
The new mining camps OF Bohemia and
Blue River, in the eastern part of the
county, are rapidly being developed into
paying properties, four or five quartz mills
being already in operation, VITA five TO
twenty stamps each, employing about 300
hands at wages from 81 so to 81 day.
Lumbering is assuming large proper
tons in Lane County. Over one-third its
territory is covered with an enormous
growth of milling timber-chiefiy Oregon

feet per acre. Twenty-,wo mills are now
engaged in cutting lumber, giving en-
ployment to large mum Der OF hands.
With this vast area of timber. practically
untouched, the umbering business of this
county is only in its infancv. Tim Der
lands can be bought tor 81 to $40 per acre,
and there is still room and opportunity
for new mills.

Four or FIVE creameries are in success

being built.
CATTLE, sheep, hogs and Angora goats
are all successfully and profitably raised
The hills and mountains furnish abund-
ant free range, as nearly one-half the
county is still uaoccupied Government
and railroad land. Angora goats, intro
duced in this county some years ago,
have been found very profitable in the
foothill and brushv sections. Their mo-
hair brings from 20 to 35 cents per pound,
the climate seems to suit them and they
are very useful in clearing land, as they
destroy all brush within their reach, thus
aiding materially in bringing the wild
land into cultivation.
Taxation is reasonable, being II mills
total for 1896 for State, scnoo and county
purposes, and Is mills for the year 1897
