OREGON 



REGON is divided by the Cascade range 

 of mountains and the Blue Moun- 

 tains into sections. Between the 

 former range and the Pacific ocean 

 lies western Oregon, a great agricul- 

 tural, timber, and game district. 

 The country between the Cascade 

 and the Blue Mountains is made up of mountains and 

 valleys, the latter being very fertile. Southeastern Ore- 

 gon east of the Blue Mountains is arid, devoted largely 

 to stock-raising. The state contains 94,560 square 

 miles. 



Oregon has a wonderful amount of game, of nearly 

 all varieties. Of the large game there are wapiti or elk, 

 which still exist in abundance ; deer of the black-tailed 

 and white-tailed varieties are very plentiful ; bear are 

 very numerous, the grizzly bear quite common, as are 

 the black and brown bear ; moose of great size are often 

 killed by sportsmen ; cougar or panther or mountain- 

 lion are common ; gray or timber-wolf and prairie-wolf 

 or coyote are plentiful. There are, besides, lynx, fox, 

 otter, beaver, marten, fisher, rabbit, mink, raccoon, 

 squirrel, and small furred game. 



Feathered game is also abundant. There are several 

 varieties of grouse, duck of many kinds, geese, brant, 

 swan, snipe, plover, curlew, rail, mountain-quail, and 

 other feathered game. Mongolian pheasants, intro- 

 duced some time ago, are now recognized as among
