Interesting Letters Written by
a Nebraska Girl.
SERIES MO. 1.
Mehama, Ore.—My last letter
told of my steamer tnp from Sao
Francisco to Portland.
On landing at Portland, I was es
corted to the home of my cousins at
652 Milwaukee avenue.
The first day we 6pent in getting
acquainted and visiting friends.
The following day we took a
trolley car and went over to East
Portland and climbed Portland
Heights. There are regular stairs
built to the top, possibly to the
number of 350 steps. On the sum
mit is arranged the date of the Lew
is & Clarke Exposition, 1905, in
electric lights. It was a clear day
and we had a beautiful view of the
city.
Rains prevented any excursion the
next day, but the following day,
Thursday, we went through the
Adventist Sanitarium and were very
favorably impressed with its work.
Friday, we visited the city hall
and spent the afternoon there. It
contains a rare collection of stuffed
animals and birds We were sur
prised to see the Emu and the Cas
soway labelled ‘‘poison,” “Hands
Off.” There were included in the
collection a Bird of Paradise and a
Lyre bird, both of which were love
ly. There was a China Pheasant,
with a brood of eleven young ones
grouped about her, and a wood duck
with her downy, fluffy, yellow ba
bies. There was almost every kind
of a bird, even down to the tiny,
gauzy-winged humming bird, and
there was an equally fine collection
of bird eggs. The grizzly bear and
a tiger were the only large animals
that I remember seeing, but there
were many small ones, such as the
armadillo, the buck-bill and the por
cupine. The Indian curios includ
ed arrows, hatchets, queer dishes,
beautiful bead work, etc. There
were suits of armor, such as worn
by the soldiery of difierent coun
tries, with the trappings used on
war horses. The collection of rocks
was very complete, and I wish you
could have seen the sea shells, sea
weeds, corals, star fish and other
treasures of the deep. In the third
story they have a fine forestry ex
hibit, but we had only a few mo
ments to devote to it. We should
have spent a week at the museum,
instead of only a few hours.
Saturday morning we took our
luncheon and went to the city park,
where we wandered about and en
joyed the beauties of nature, sup
plemented by the attractions of art.
There were pretty little caves, grot
toes, rustic bridges and rustic seats
about the hills and valleys of the
park. There were the natural for
est trees of Oregon, and such flower
ing shrubs as the Magnolia, the
Japanese Quince, the Scotch broom
tree, an I many others 1 do not re
member. There were roses in pro
fusion, with flowers of every known
specie, all arranged with an eye to
artistic effect. I can’t remember
nearly all the animals, but there
were bears, cougere, mountain liens,
wild cats, wolves, Alaskan dogs, elk,
deei, raccoons, monkeys, ground
hogs, prairie dogs and guinea pigs.
There were eagles, buzzards, hawks,
owls, swans, parrots and nmberless
song birds. After looking at them
till the time wt must say adieu, we
ate our lunches and then went over
to the exposition grounds. They
gave great promise of beauty, but
the work was only well begun.
From there we went directly to
the union depot, where I took the
train for Albany. The railway fol
lows the VVilliamette valley, which
seems a fine farming country, but I
was surprised not to see more ele
gant homes. Some of the places of
interest we passed were ihe locks at
Oregon City, the Indian school at
Chemawa, where numerous well
dressed, well behaved Indian young
people were \ratching the train go
by, and lastly Salem, Oregon’s capi
tal city.
At Albany, I spent an interesting
week with other cousins and an aunt
from Iowa. We walked over the
city, attended church, a reception,
and the Newell-Rice grand concert
We spent a day we will long re
member at the home of Mrs. Laur
ensen in Oak va ley. We visited
the iron foundry and the woolen
mills, and went up into the tower
of the court house, from which we
I had a beautiful view of the valley
for miles around.
Saturday morning, we bade good
bye to city life and boarded the
train for the frontier. Then it was
that I caught passing glimpses (f
this wonderful valley that is the
source of so much admiration and
delight to me.
For a lew days after arriving at
my sister’s at Meharaa, we did noth
ing but visit. On the succeeding
Friday, we went over to the saw
mill, looked over the machinery,
watched the whole process of rais
ing the logs, sawing into rough tim
b r and loading ifc on cars. To
reach the mill, we walked a mile and
a half through the^woods. In coin
ing home, we walked over a cordu
roy road, built for the donkey-en
gine to haul in logs. In the even
ing, we entertained the young peo
ple who met to sing.
The following Monday, we bade
good-bye to our auntie. It made
us a little lonesome to see her go,
realizing we would soon be separated
by a distance of over 2,000 miles.
Saturday following, with a young
lady friend, we visi ed Scheilburg
Falls. This meant a walk of over
two miles, nearly all up hill. The
weather was extremely sultry, but
much of the way was sbady, and
the lovely views fnlly compensated
for the fatigue experienced. I wish
I could show you the falls They
are 121 feet in height, and early in
the spring, even, there is quite a
volume of water. Back of the falls
and on either side is an immense
cave in the form of an amphitheatre,
having a roof of solid rock about
25 feet deep, and in many places
dripping with water. The cave ex
tends back fifty feet or more and
slopes down to the water, there be
ing room to stand straight up at the
back of it in some places, while at
others there is very little space
Most of the slope is covered with
grass or mosses, but part of it is
quite bare and rather muddy. On
the north there are masses of loose
stones. Try to picture all this, with
*
its setting of beautiful forest trees
on either side, above, and farther
down the stream, there being two
or three old moss-covered logs lying
across the stream and forming nat
ural bridges. See those great bould
ers lying around where they have
been thrown by some giant hand in
ages past, and then gaze with me at
the falls themselves. See the water
tumbling over the mighty precipice
of rock, and breaking into shining,
shimmeriug spray, and as it falls in
the pool below, boiling, frothing,
foaming and tossing up a perfect
shower of water drops which the
sun is kissing into good humor, so
they are shining forth in brilliant
rainbow hues, even while the seeth
ing water below is fretting and
fumiog m its impatience to be off
and away to it’s ocean home. My
friend and I went around back ot
the falls and stood there with the
refreshing spr y dashing in our
faces till we were quite wet. Then
we went back under the overbang
ledge of rocks and ate our dinners. |
Afterward, we crossed the creek on I
the logs and clambering up the oth
er side wrote our names on the soft,
yellowish rock, where so many hun- {
dreds had offered a like sacrifice on j
the altar ot the elusive god of fame.
Doesn’t it seem very strange that
in every human heart is found that
unconquerable desire to be remem
bered. Well, every pleasure must
end, and as the son crept toward
the west we sought our homes, tired
but happy over a well-spent day.
But aay letter grows too long and
I will oloee for this time, washing
you could have half the pleasure
that is t.'.is summer falling to the
lot of The Nebraska. Girl.
