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.
Minnie Gilbert.
