S. Polk, attorney, Rockwood block. Oregon Letter. Salem, 0kghn, May i4. 1890. Editor IIeualij: ,When at Salt Lake I sent you a note of some of my travels, hut time would not allow me to he very lengthy. The most of your readers are familiar with the line from Omaha to Denver. The first tiling of note was the mountains the tops all covered with enow, I suppose to remain all summer. The next was Denver at the foot of the snowy mountains, it seemed to be a fine, prosperous business town. Leaying there I proceeded on my journey over the Rio Grande rail road, which line possesses without doubt the finest scenery in the.world. And the difficulty with me has been what to select and write about. One of the most beautiful things I saw was Palmer lake, on whose bhores rise high mountains, and in the midst of its bright clear waters rises a water spout from thirty to fifty feet in height, and spreading, falls on the water like raia. I will not attempt to describe the Garden of the Gods, that being one of the things I cannot descr'be. Manitou is the ideal summer resort, haying been provided by nature with hot springs, equal, if not superior in efficacy to those of Saratoga, N. Y., and are surrounded by scenery more beautifully grand and varied than that of any other sanitary resort in the world. Here also is an Arcadian valley at the foot of Pikes Peak. From Veta Pass one beholds a scene of magnificence, but it is not the view alone that repays the tourist; the ascent itself is fraught with the most profound interest. The D. & R. G. R. R. reach s the summit by a series of grades and the most remarkable curves in the history of railroad engineering. The Mule Shoe curve is a scientific achievement worth a trip across the continent to see; the road is a mere groove out in the side of the mountain, which is so steep tiiat a boulder set iu motiou goes thundering down the mountain and does not stop until it reaches the bottom of the gorge. But thri'ling as this passage is it has no real elements of danger in it. The Royal gorge is the crowning wonder on the way, situated between Canon City and Salida it is easy of access, and after the entrance of the canon has been made surprise and almost terror comes over one. The mount of the Holy Cross is a won der to behold, and Freemonts is another wonder to the traveler. Marshall Pass is entered almost im perceptibly from Ponca Pass, and the whole wonderful ascent might very readily be imagined to be one and the same. Thu summit is almost eleven thousand feet above the sea. Castle Oal, is the entrance to Price river canon through which the railroad runs into the very heart of the range, ('untie Gate seems in many respects to be the irate wav to the Garden of the Gods. Now this giyes the reader some idea of 1 lie piiHSHge hh fur as talt Ijnke, ami I win close. It. 31. Rock Bluff 3 Com planting is about all done in this locality. Jack Front laid low the early potatoes again last Friday morning. This is the second time that we have had our potatoes killed by frost this spring. Win. Taylor and II. M. Gault have each beeu making themselves a fish pond and both of them have extraordinary good springs for that purpose. Frank Moore found his lost fox-hound last week and we hope he will succeed in thining out the wolves, for they are altogether too fond of our chickens. The hard shower that we had last Sat urday night washed out a good deal of corn on steep side hills where it had been put in with a lister, and the man who used the combined lister on side hills can have the pleasure of doing his work over again. We wish to sav that we admire the stand that the county commissioners have taken on the license question, and we j hope they will continue to cultivate and grow the necessary grit and backbone to live up to that resolution against all pa- loon influences. Uncle Steven Wiles was down this way last Monday with four grey hounds. hunting wolves, lie carried a hammer which he used to take down wire fences to get his horse from one field to another. Nog cholera has again made its appear ance and David Young and Heary Calkins have experienced losses from its effects. In our opinion the only sure remedy for hog cholera is to either in oculate against having it or else stamp it out like diseases are stamped in cattle or glanders in horses. As yet no snide doctor has made his appearance to cheat honest people and we think after the ex perience the people had here three years ago, that one would meet wi th poor success. Tim Shaveh.
