The region known as the. Everglades
Of Florida IS about sixty miles long by
some fifty five miles broad and is one
vast swamp, studded with Islands OF
from quarter of an acre to hundreds
Of acres In extent. These islands are
generally covered with dense thickets
Of shrubbery or vines and occasion
ally with lofty pines and palmettos.
The water IS from one to six feet deep,
the bottom, as a rule, covered with a
growth Of rank grass. During the
rainy season, from July to October, the
district comprised in the Everglades is
practically impenetrable. The vege-
table deposit Of the Everglades is con-
sidered well adapted to the growth of
the banana and other fruits, and when
properly drained the region will UNI
doubtedly be one of the most fertile on
earth.-New York American.

Marching in twos and threes, 80 wo-

the Oregon Electric depot on High
street this morning and proceeded to
the state house, where they argued in
behalf of the five condemned men now
confined in the penitentiary
A Journal reporter overheard re-
marks made by at least a dozen men,
who declared that the governor
should ignore the pleas Of the delega-
tion, inasmuch as he placed the mat
ter of capital punishment before the
people, and that they turned the bill
down flat. At first it was thought the
women carried either presents or food
for the prisoners, but it developed
later that the numerous packages con-
sisted of petitions recommending the
