Arter saying goodbye and au re roll to our numerous San Francisco and Berkeiij Tfiends, we returned to oar Pullmans at Oakland, from which point our trains left for Portland, Ore. gon at midnight of Aug. 12th. Our party was reduced to about 260, occu pying two trains, your acrlbe being on second section . Our meeting on the train again, after fire days separation, was like a happy family gathering and reunion. The genius- of the raconteur and the spirit of reminiscence held full sway, the last and better half of our great trip. The Great West has a monopoly on distances. Los Angeles Is the same distance south of San Francisco, as Loulsburg is from New York City, 480 miles. ?nd the northern boundary as tar as Jacksonville, Florida, from Loulsburg. N. -C. It too* us more than twenty hours fast traveling to cross the Northern half of the State. We travelled over the Southern Ptciflc Railway, on a road of a thousand won ders. The mountains seemed higher, the gorges deeper, the tunnels longer, end the scenery grander than any we had seen. . - The mountains near the seashore are relatively higher than the peaks of the Rocky's, rising from the table lands, UiAt_are from four to six thous and feet above sea level. All day we were in sight of Mt. Shasta rising 14,444 feet, with a per petual snow cap above the clouds, that encircled it like a broad hat brlm, The great mountain seemed to play hide and seek with us, on account of the many curves and directions of the road we were travelling; sometimes to the right of us, then on the left, sometimes In front, then behind us, and a part of the time lost from rlew^ (altogether . Eighteen times we crossed the ramento river, and at the Can^era Loop crossed it and curved dojMi It on the opposite side. For many miles vd hours we were In the Sacramer\tQ..<janon, with the mountains looming sky high above us, ^rlth heavily timbered slopes. We 8toppe<lfor an hour at Shasta Springs a place of beauty nestled at the foot of MK Shasta, with the Mission Falls 'from the melting ice cap on the moun tain top. -and drank Its sparkling wa ters. We passed thru two Loop tun nels In the Stsklvyou Mountains. Pass ed Castle Craigs, several peaks of solid rock, that had the appearance of the old Castles of the middle ages. Also Slack Butte, named from Its color. After crossing the state line, we rest ed at a siding by the side of a crystal lake 43 miles long. Your scribe with a party of about a dozen went fishing on it at five o'clock a. m. and fished until 7:30, with no luck at all. This Shuswop lake, named as I remark ed because It cost the price of a pair of shoes, to fish two hours,- from a motor boat that couldn't run under ten miles per hour. We were now Id Oregon, saw the Gold Ray Dam to Rogue River, with Table Mountain looking like an immense table, with Mt. Pitt a snow capped peak is the distance. Ran for some distance hi Cow Creek canon and thru Its tunnel, and thru Wolf Creek Loop, and arrived at Port land at 10 o'clock, two hours late. We were met at the station by the Port land Bar Association and taken In au tomobiles to Lancaster Park on the Columbia Rlvjr, 43 miles, whefe lunch was served, to us as their guestB. The Columbia River Drive is one of the finest drives in the world, planned and built by Mr. Lancaster to whom we Were all presented at the Park named after him. When I was introduced to him I said "Hello Mr. Lancaster, you are some Franklin County, N. C. stock." He said, "No, that he was born In Tenn. and left mere wh<r> a boy." T said, "You look exactlwlike the Franklin County kin, and ft you didn't Inherit any of the eartU, you got your part of it spon after you were He said, "Won't you take a dtyik with me." I said, "Now 1 know you are kin to them." He is Justly noted as the leading engineer, and road Inillder In the great North West. There Is no finer- road in America" than the Columbia River Drive, and the scenery beyond description. With NR. St. Helena across the river jn the State of Washington, Mt. Hood, 11,225 feet high, the highest mountain in th? state, both snow capped. With bis trees several hundred feet high, some of the cedars fifty feet in circumfer ence. Over bridges, thru tunnels, and around bluffs so steep that It would make one's head dizzy, to look down ward, with every few minutes a ne# end novel scene, kaledloscopic in Ms changes. We stopped en route and enjoyed the various points of Interest. Mitchell's Point Tunnel 400 feet thru the bluff. Monteomah Falls 620 feet high. Latonvllle Falls 225 feet high. Bridal Veil Falls 372 feet high. Wah. Kee-No Falls several hundred feet high, and Metlako Falls and Devil's Punch Bowl In Eagle Creek. One of the chief points of Interest was the Vista House built of white marble on a high bluff overlooking Columbia river, giving a view of the great river and the towering moun tains on each side, that can be seen from no other point. A notable company gathered around this festive luncheon. It seemed that all the Judges In the State of Oregon were present, and many of them were Introduced to me as Democrats. We were entertained during lunch by music from a Scotch Bagpipe Band with the Scotch dances on a stage In the open park, The Highland Fllnjr and Fisher's Hornpipe were am o6g the many stunt* for our amusejrfent. After lunch your scribe was kodaked astride a donkey, as "a DemVrtft in the Emblem." We were taken back to Portland and driven over its beautiful residential streets and boulevards. We had up to this time seen no prettier city than Portland, with mile* and miles of stately homes, set back from the street, with banks of the most magnificent I flowers and roses ever seen, rivalling I and surpassing the mythical hanging ' gardens of ancient Babylon. For per ' J lection o( coloring , and profusion of S flowering growth, your scribe saw ' nothing in California (o equal the 1 beauty of the Portland homes and their I flower fronts. Portland Is a great city, situated on i the WlUlamstte river, claiming a pop . ulatlon of 200,000, and Increasing fas 1 ter than they can count, has Its sky scrapers and Une hotels, and bids fair to have a million In a few years. We were struck by the culture and at tainments of Its Bar, numbering 400, most of whom we met, their strong and splendid personality, and their open handed and unlimited hospitality. We see the strong Impressive char, acterlstlc of the Scandinavian, the sturdy Scotchman, and the homellfe faces of the reliable Englishmen, not so many of the Irish brogue and vis age, as most of them stopped to run the bars and ppHtlcs of the eastern cities. But since the advent of Vol steadlsm, they -too will Boon join the endless throng,, (hat are seeking homes and happiness In the golden sunsets of the Pacific slope. W. M. PERSOS. (To Be Continued.)
