Frjm Fir-iwty Oregon. To the Editor of the Lenoir Topic ; I thought you might like to hear from Oregon, I once lived in North Carolina myself, and intend to visit sometime in the future. I was about four years old when I left N. C. We have lived away from there nine years, My father, P. V. Coffey, was formerly a resi dent of the neighborhood of Mul berry. We first moved to Idaho and from there to Oregon, where we now lire. Oregon is a very nice country in which to live. Its climate is much like that of N. C, with perhaps a little more rain. The country is mountainous in the western part. Grain, fruit aud vegetables ere produced in abundance. On ac count of the rain in winter, the people who have alwaya lived in Ore gan are called ''Webfooters." There is a very good school situ ated at Draia, which I am attending. One of the four Normal Schools of the State ii located here. It is a tery good school, and, especially so, for the training of teaohers. The Columbia river abounds in fish ef rarisstf kinds. Balaton are the most plentifnL There are many fish canneries on the largest livers of Oregon. There are also fruit canneries in many different places. Hop-raising has been a great re source of the country, but they are not so extensively raised now be cause the prioe has gone dewn People from the towni and also in the country all go to the hop yards and eamp out for weeks pick ing hops and having a good time. Notwithstanding all these pleas ures and good things we sometimes long for the things back there which we do dot have here. I remember about picking np cheat, nnt and eating sweet-potatoes, and we do not have either of them here. Wishing a prosperous year te the Topic, I will close. , VVUDA COFFBY. Drain, Oregon.
