When Does Brown Move?
Tell me ye winged winds
That round our pathway rove,
Whisper lowly in our ear,
When does Brown move?
Our rent ran out last month,
Today to prevent a shove
Our heart will grateful be,
If Brown will move.
We hope he don’t read this,
Prevent, ye powders above,
Or else, as sure as fate,
Ed Brown won’t move.

Nkhama, Ore. The trees extended
nearly half wav up the mountain and
then ceased until we near the summit.
When we were half way up the Haby
and the guid* left us and went to
explore Hear Cave which it is thought
no other iady has ever visited.
We gained the summit and in alniut
an hour ware joined by the explorers.
The top of House Mt. Itock is broad
and level and is an immense wild dower
garden. There is such a yarriety of
them too, including phlox and various
other varieties that are usually found
only in our gardens.
It is thought that this was once a
favorite resort of the Indians, and thnt
the circular paths around the central
part of it were made by them in their
fun dances, war dances, ghost dances,
etc. At that lime the Rock extended
much further out. but there came ar>
earthquake and great masses of rock
fell down. The Indians thought the
Great Spirit was angry with them and
hurried away. To this d*y no Indian
will go back there.
Just before coming down we had the ;
most beautiful view of Mt. Jefferson.
Just imagine a beautiful painting of
a snow-capped mouotain glorified, and
you may get a faint conception of how
it looked for a few minutes as the sun
shone on its pure white snow lb Ids and
frowning chasms.
We leaned out over the precipice till
we could look straight down for live or
six hundred feet, and when we rolled
some stones down, it was nine seconds
before we could hear them strike.
The guide climbed a tree and gathered
some cones for us and we brought home
many other souveniers.
At last we returned to camp, our
minds too full of the wonders we had
seen to realize how tired we all were.
We sat down under the trees to rest
when we were something over half way
home and let the calm silence of the
twilight hour steal into our hearts
The liaby sang for us and echo re
peated the pure notes of her voice,'mak
ing the sounding ais'es of the dim
woods ring.
On reaching camp we were obliged
to come down to the prosaic work of
getting and eating supper, but . ven
tins could not take away from our minds
the feeling of awe and adoration for
the divine creator of all that sublime
beauty and grandeur. The one hun
dred and twenty-first Psalm kept re
curring to our minds. “I will lift up
; mine eyes unto the hills, from whence
jcometh my help" “My help eometh
from the Lord.” etc.
Hefore retiring we went down to the
lake to look at the Hock by moonlight
In the morning my first concious
thought was that we were going home

and that 1 must say goodbye, perhaps
forever, to the scenes we had enjoyed so
much. As we packed up and started i
for home. I believe we all felt thankful- j
ness for ttie unalloyed pleasure of the
outing, mingled with regret, that it was
all over. And yet is it all over? Will j
not tho3e days he lived over in our j
memories so long as life shall last?
We made much better time returning ;
than going to die liock, and the hill j
that had seemed so long and hard when
we were ascending it, was passed over
without a thought of anything expect
the view it afforded us of the valley
below. But I had nearly forgotten to I
tell you about the big maple which we
saw. We left the trail and wandered !
through swamps and underbrush to see
what our guide ea'led the largest maple
in Oregon. It was about seven feet
thick and well worth going to see.
()! If it were po.-sible to transplant
just one of these noble trees to my Ne
hraska home, what a glorious sight it
would he to see it growing there. Here
they are so common that it seems as if
most people only think of rooting them
np or wonder howr many feet of lumber
can he made from each of them.
we reached home tired out happy
That evening a rich miner stopped
with our host for supper and you should
have seen the Ji.iby smile at him. It is
an open secret that she is looking for a
uiulti-millionare who has poor health
and wants to sign over everything to
the woman who will undertake to
brighten his declining days, not years, j
The next morning we bade goodbye j
to our kind friends and started home,
but stopped on our way to explore Hear j
Den following * trail through the woods .
and up the mountain's side and were
surprised to find h great field of rocks
with mas-es h^re and there lo »king
like minarets of solid irregular masonry
In one of these is the Den, a cave
extending back and down for seventy
five feet. There were innumerable bats
which were frightened by our torches
and flew out.
We hadn't time to explore the whole
den and soon returned to our team and
stopped a4 a spring to eat our lunch.
Two young men from Nehama passed
us and hurried on to spread the news of
our return among the vill ige gossips.
We were too late to go to church so
we walked over to the petrified stump
and watched the water foaming and
tossing up its silvery spray in the rapids
just hey rnd the stump, for an houror so.
Then as we neared home we sat do vn
on the river's bank and watched the
moon rise.
If nothing happens to prevent our
going 1 will have many more scenes to
describe to you. Yours Truly,
