GLORIOUS 7TH.
Hail to the seventh, the glori
ous seventh,
Tnat fills our ' hea'ts with
cheer.
We know that our GoJ is good
to us, ; ' ,
For we'vo lived another yea".
Our fathers to tfiir graves
have gone,
Their ; strife is past their tri
umphA.won; . .
And now we wave the stars
and stripes and slog the songs :
of joy, '',
And watch the coming glorious ,
seventh
Just like a happy boy. ?
.- .. ,
We feel that It , is good for w
to live in a land where there's
no fear;- -
Where our lives and comforts
are both secure ,.
with our loved ones all so near. .
Oh! the glorious seventti and
the grand old flag, ' - ,
That waves above our heads,
That protection gives when
we're asleep -and snug within
our beds. , 7
Give us tbe flag and the- glor
ious seventh, ,
And the souUthrill that they
give; .
Give us our hemes in our old
South Land,
And there ever let us live '
Till Christ shall come to claim
his own. . 1 ' .-.

(Con'td from last week)
Right here I might add that
Oregon and Wsahingion, as well
as British Columbia (South-west
.Canada) appealed to 'me' more
than any other points visited as
an ideal place to live. The clitn
ate, the resources', the adaota-
billty of the soil to farming: and
grazing, the forest areas, the
people. In fact, everything in an
all around way, seemed to be
very desirable. Of course, we
aata other places that were very
desirable and in many respects
equal and in some superior, , but
I speak In a general way from
the general idea I gathered, as
we passed on our pleasant joum-

the night we crossed over the
line between Oregon anrl Cali
fornia and on rising at five we
could bee the famous Mt. Shasta,

high. This - movntaln renmlh

come to the Ceatara Loop where
we wind our way up the - Sacra

track - are '.- used in this loop
which makes a drop of 1,600 ft.,
crossing the river eignteen times
