Miss Minnie Gilbert in Oregon The lollowing excerpts from a trip to Oregon, taken by Miss Min. nie Gilbert, and written bv her to ; the ladies of Shiloh Pirele. w ill he ! found of interest. Miss Gilbert, bv the way, is expected home in a few days: • Mehama,Ore.—Dear Sisters: As I promised to write you of my trip out here, I will try and fulfill that promise. When I left Grand Island on the far journey, I must confess I felt a little lonesome and blue, as I said good-bye to the last of my Nebras ka friends and realized I was really going so far away from home, but mingled with that thought was the anticipated joy of meeting other loved ones. The excitement was too great to allow me to go to sleep for hours, but managed to doze a little before morning. I awoke about half past four to see the dim outline ef the sandhills on every side. Soon they became more rugged, and the lime stone, so plentiful in western Ne braska began to appear. By break fast time, we had reached Sidney. The scenery about there and on past Pine Bluffs was lovely. After leaving Pine Bluffs we crossed a mountainous range of sand hills, Before hood we were in sight of the mountains, and from that time on there’was no lack of things to in terest us. Soon we reached the Green River bluffs. They seemed great mounds of rook, some gray, some brown, some nearly white and yet others nearly red, some moss grown, others bare, and seemingly of every color, shape and size. Small evergreens were growing on most of the hills or mountains, and some of them covered between the rocks with grass or sage brush, with snow on the higher hill^ and along the snow sheds. We could see Elk mountain in the distance, and in sight of it nearly all day. It was far in the distance, but its snow orownd summit towered above all the rpst. We passed through Hanna and Rock Springs, from which we get so much of our coal, with rows of little red mining cottages, all just alike, and the mines in the distance. We got into Ogden about three o’clock in the morning, where we had to change cars. By the time it was really daylight, we were in sight of Great Salt Lake, which we could see for an hour or more. We no sooner left the lake region than the railroad curved around a mountain so that for some time we could see the two great mountain engines which were pulling our long train up to the table lands of Ne vada. All the rest of the day we saw high, level plains, covered with sage brush. The plains were walled in by snow-covered mountains. Of ten great masses of rock seemed just growing cut of the side of a mountain or on the table land. Per haps the land all about them would be level or smooth, wTith the mass of rock rising to a height of ten or fifteen feet Towards evening we passed thro’ the canyons of the Humbolt. Tte river winds in and out among the mountains, and we crossed it over twenty times. The mountains were, or seemed to be, higher and more precipitous, and for the first time since Tuesday afternoon the lamps wrere lighted and we passed through one quite long tunnel and many shorter ones. There was a man on the train w?ho had veen over the road a good many times and told of many fine ranches back in the mountains. Thursday morning we aw'oke in the Sierra Nevada ranges in Califor nia. Everything was covered w’ith snow, and for a long time we could look down for hundreds of feet on the one side and almost straight up ou the other side the same distance on the rugged sides of the moun tains. By the time we reached Dutch man’s Flat and Gold Rim, the snow uras all gone, except on the tops of the mountains, and we were among flowers in great variety. The Cali fornia poppies were the most con spicuous. Soon we were down in the Sacra- j mento valley, which reminded me j of the best part9 of Nebraska in! June, except that the trees were dif-1 ferent. Instead of cottonwoods there ; were the palms, etc., and instead of I the corn Helds were the acres and acres of grapes and immense Helds of small grain. I saw Dumbers of orange trees, which were perfectly lovely, with their dark green foliage, ripe fruit and pure whits blossoms, but I saw no large orange groves. We had a lovely view of Sacramento from the train. Before getting into Oakland, we crossed the river (I guess its a river) on a ferry, claimed to be the largest in the world. At Oakland, we left the train and crossed the bay on a ferry into San Francisco, which is a beautiful city. I reached there a little after 11 o’clock and had to wait till eleven the next day, when I took passage on the steamer George W. Elder. At Hrst, as we were passing thro’ the Golden Gate, the water seemed so smooth and was so dark and muddy, that I feared I was going to be disappointed, but that was soon passed and we were “away on the deep blue sea."’ I see that my letter will be so long I will leave the story of my ocean voyage till another letter.
