THE OLYMPIC COUNTRY 
By the late S. C. Gilman, C. E. 
[The following v.'ilnaV)le article is based largely on the explorations of the writer 
in the comparatively unknown region he describes. A melancholy interest attaches 
to it, .Mr Gilman having been suddenly cut off, at the early age of thirty-six and in the 
midst of an increasingly useful and promising career, only a few days after the trans- 
mission of the article for publication and before he could be made aware of its ac- 
ceptance.] 
The Ol 3 MHpic ])eninsula, in northwestern Washington, forms 
tlie e.xtrenie nortlnvcst corner of tlie United Sttites proper. It 
lies west of Puget sound, Admiralty inlet, and Hood’s canal, 
commonly spoken of collectively as Puget sound, and t'xtends 
over 1)0 miles along the south side of the straits of Juan de Fuca. 
Its west coast borders for 100 miles on the Paeilic ocean, while 
firay’s harbor and the Chehalis river furnish deep-water naviga- 
tion for .‘>0 miles tilong its southern border, leaving only a nock 
of 25 miles in width connecting its southeastern part with the 
mainland.
