HENRY
Portland, Ore., Aug. 3.
Dear Folks:—
I arrvied here at my journey’s
end last night about 1 o’clock.
Surprised grandma and went to
bed. I have been 11 days on the
road and used slß.ll worth o.f
gas and about $7.26 for oil. A
total of $25.37. Got my first view
of Mt. Hood about 200 miles from
Portland. Along the Columbia
River highway I got the best views
I eve*' got in my whole trip. The
beautiful mountains with the large
Columbia River flowing through
their valleys is a sight never to
be forgotten. I went through the
famed tunnels on the highways. I
saw the Bridal Veil Falls the
Horsetail Falls and several others.
My Ford runs as good as ever.
Averaged about 36 miles per gal
lon of gas on whole trip, moun
tains and all. Tell Mr. Vining I’m
writing up my whole trip to you
so you can give it to him.
Henry, Jr.
