Leaving San Francisco and its many

the laro ? ferries that connect nt Oak
land with the Oakland train , wcnro
soon seated in tlio car and rapidly
passing through the ricli and fertile
Bacronicnto valley , our objective point
bciiiK the great \o Sotnito valley. At
Stockton onr party rests for the night.
The parly consists of. four males the
uninitiated would think wo w < * ro friends
of many years' standing , while in real
ity "wo met by chance , < ho usual
way. To the professional traveller ,
thuso frimidahips are as convenient
the loose Htitchiiif ; of the sowing nia-
chino that rips so easily is to the fashionable -
ionablo young lady of tlio present day ,
enabling hur to inako her dresses ever
ut will. Although linn friends for thu
time bcini : , no useless te.xrs are shod
Jit the parting , a partition most cases
forever. In the morning nn early
start is niado for Milton , thirty miles
distant , at which point the staging
commences. A ciaokof the whip and
away wo lly ever the fc\v miles of
plains and arc soon in tlto foothills of
the Sierra Noviubs. The ranches ,
numerous at fust , soon decrease in
numbers , while trees and rocks increase
proportionately. At noon we dine at
COPPKllOPOLIS.
Tlio mines of copper at this place were
supposed to bo inexhaustible. 13nt ,
nlas ! The nnmo is nil that remains to
indicate the former presence of cop
Dcr. The mills still Htaml , but deserted -
sorted abandoned. The pretty
church , so inviting without , is o hoi
low mockery within. Stores and rest
dunces nro alike desorted.
Many liijfli hopes have bacn crushed
hero , where the bitter cup of disap
pointment Inn been evidently full to
overflowing. * After inking a hasty
lunch , a special conch is made up for
tlio Yo Semite visitors and the stage
launches oil' from the main road into
the mountain toad that leads to the
valley. Chinese Camp , Big Garotte ,
and ono or two other places that ap
pear as rough to the eye as the names
sound to the ear are passed , when and
donly wo aeo before us a perfect little
paradise. It ia
" ' "
"noonwix's ,
A place celebrated for the variety and
quality of its fruit. Here wo see on
ono ranch the finest poaches , grapes ,
ligs , plums and apples grown in thu
state. Ono of the curiosities is the
largest lisr tree in California. There
are also Hovoral trees with ripe oranges
of largo sine but they do not bear
plentifully enough to inako it-pay to
cultivate tnom. 'At "Priest's" a halt
is made for the maht. Next day wo
take an early breakfast and make an
early start to accomplish the lust lifty
miles ever the roughest country we
have yet met. Houses are scarcer ;
few people nro met with. Wo are in
the midst of wild mountain scenery ,
A black bear , startled at the approach
of the stage , is seen making his way
into the forents at an easy trot. To
day ono fact strikes us ; the great feel
ing manifested everywhere for our
president. Hero , where people are
dependent on us for the news of the
day , we arc everywhere greeted witl
tho.question , How is the president
Away in these mountain recesses the
saino great interest is taken in his re
covery as in the great cities. We
pass along some frightful precipices
and climb steep hills , making frequent
changes of horses , so that wo reach
the top of one of the hills overlooking
the valley r.n hour before sunset. The
country is foartully rough and binkcn.
A sign is putted near the road ; it
leads : "Eight miles to Pioneer
laundry. How would 'you feel to
break your neck and have a dirty
shirt on ? " Wo involuntaily shudder
ut the thought of our shirts , for the
* roads are dusty. A turn is made and
the valley suddenly opens bolouus ,
TUK VALLEY.
Oh- how grand ! How beautiful !
This then is the great Yo Semite val
ley. There is not the feeling akin to
disappointment so often felt in seeing
celebrated objects when one has liad
his ospcctationa raised to the highest ,
but on the contrary you become en
thusiastic almost oxcited. Incom
parable , indescribable is the view wo
now have. Wo descend at break
neck speed a distance of 3,000 feet
down the sidcs'tf the mountain , The
valley is not hidden from view for ono
moment. One glance reveals every
mountain on either side. No matter
how much more wo may HCO , nothing
is grander than these first impressions.
To the left is El Capitaino , the mon
ster rock of the valley. Think of it !
u solid , single rock more than , ' ) ,000
feet high and nearly a mile wide as
wide at the top ns at the bottom the
walls perpendicular , or at least BO
near to it that the several hundred
feet ( a distance of nearly ono block )
which the top of the mountain ex
tends beyond the biiso are scarcely
perceptible to the naked eye. Ono
eye ranges across the valley and the
nearest object is
TJIK imnuL vuii. r.tr.i. .
How fortunate t enter the valley at
this time. Wo BOO a silvery stream
six hundred fcct-in length descending
ever the square top of a mountain ; the
entire stream is now gently Hwayed
from side to aide by the wind. A
portion of the stream next forms into
spray , in which are reflected nil the
colors of the rainbow. Isn't it beau
tiful ? "Just wait a minute , " says the
driver. Now the wind forms the en
tire JON or portion of tho-falla into a
spay and gradually wjfts it to ono
. ude , carrying with it the stream. The
coloring is extremely beautiful , Now
the spray is lifted upwards ; it hides
the stream from sight ; the wind has
obtained the mastery over thu stream ,
and as fast as the water flows it is
formed into one masa of spray , which
now lloats to thu loft , then striven
downward , as if cwsaying to assort it-
Helf ( n n , stream again ; next floating
high in the air again , the formation
and coloring changing every moment.
Moro beautiful dissolving view * have
never been seen by the eye of inan.
Suddenly the spray floats off into
Hpico , the colora vanish , the Htrciun
reappears as n glistonuitf , hilray
thread. Almost every wmuto those
reinarknlilo chatigus appear. Wo are
rapidly dcsconihiiR , to our light nro
nothing but frightful precipices.

At hwt tlto valley is reached mul n
Itleiwant ride of thrco > r four miles
lands us at the hotel tired , dusty , weary
Imdily , from the hard trip , but pen-
to see more. Kight cornea on quickly ,
and at an early hour the narrow val
ley i enveloped in the dark shadowsof
iho towering mountains. Wo Imvo
letters of introduction to Mr. llntch-
ings , the commissioner of the ynllcy ,
who receives us kindly and gives ua
much viiltmblo information , The on-
tiru length of the valley is ciyhtor ten
miles. Its \\idth from one-half to ono
and one-half miles. , The mountains
extend in seemingly a straight line pir
each side of the valley , its imtiro
length , gradually closing up each end ,
The great p.-ciilinrity of the mountains
is their abruptness. The valley itself
is four thousand foot above the level
of the sea while the mountains are an
additional three to live thousand feet.
Even on top of these mountains the
weather is warm enough at present to
dispense with heavy clothing , The
number ot visitors thisseasoii hasbcon
about two thousand , Total number
since the discovery of the valley less
than fifty thousand. Loss than one
hundred St. Louisans Imvo visited the
valley up to the present time. 1'or-
haps these who have not done so need
not earo , for they do not know what
they have missed.
TAKINO VIEW'S.
Early in iho morning our guide np
pears with his mustangs to carry us
up to the to ] ) of ono of the mountains ,
I'iko , ( ho called , though that is not his
name ) our guide , is ono of the oldest
mountaineers on this coast. Hu can
answer any question without turning
a hair. It is an accomplishment in a
guido never to Buy "I don't know , "
Pike comes from Missouri , though not
from I'iko county. All JMi.ssourians
are known among the guides us coming
from Pike. No doubt some ono of
our eminent citizens formerly from
Pike was out hero and made it iippear
that Pike county was a bigger thing
than Missouri. Our lirst visit is to
THC VIUIXAL AX1 NIIVAKA 1'ALl.S.
On striking the mountain trail the
scenery tit oncu becomes most pjctur
esqiio. Time and again wo turn sharp
curves , thereby changing a. course
that seemed to lead dhectly over
abrupt precipices down , down , thous
ands of feet. At Vernal falls w e rest
for a couple of hours. At the foot of
the falls is "Snow's , " whorowo take
lunch. Mrs. Snow , the hostess , a
sharp visaged Yunkco lady , nearly si.\
feet high , having a good natured hus
band a foot shorter , relates to you , as
she has denote each ono of the thous
ands of visitors who Imvo proceeded
you , that at Snow's there are always
"eleven tuet of Snow. " She had
rather miss a meal than miss the op
portunity of setting off this pun. An
hour is next .spent at the fojt of the
falls. The waters , after dashing
down a distance of 400 feet , strike 11
mass of broken rocks , and are lashed
into whitest foam. Hero is such
majesty as cannot be pictured in
words ; it must bo seen. The guide
shows us a narrow footpath , down
which wo go while ho brings the
horses to a meetint ; place arranged
with him. By walking wo reach a
place which seems to bo the end of the
valley. AVe have walked down so fai
tliat it HCCIUS wo ought almost to bo in
the valley. The Vernal falls are seen
at a great height to the rear. Sud
denly we find ourselves on a large flat
r < ck several hundred feet wido. The
view to the front is entirely shut oil
by a natural solid railing of rock in
1 i front. Peeriim over the same wo sec
the valley in all its beauty below us.
Mirror lake appears like a duck pond ,
while the beautiful Merced liver ,
twisting and winding its way through
this valley for many miles , rather re
sembles BO many yards of silvery rib
bon. Fifty feet to the right of irhero
wo are fctamliog the Merced plunges
oil' the rock < in which wearo stiuulincr ,
a distance of six hundred feet li
then gradually descends into the val-
luy forming Mirror lake , a hett ! nl
water so tranquil and clear that photo
graphs taken of the mountain rclk'ctei
in the water and the mountain * them
selves above the water appear like a
single mountain suspended in the
uir , having the same forma
tion above and below , .ant
the sky surrounding it entirely.
The descent by means of ladders along
side of Nevada falls is a thrilling un
dertaking. At one point the fcnii
gives out entirely and a single log
resting against the bare tude of tin
mountain nilords the only means oi
continuing this journey. Will you
cross or will you return and stand the
good-natured jeers of the bra\esto !
the parly who has already crossed
The latter requires ( lie greatest cour
age , fie the crossing is at cmpted. 1'y
leaning against the wall and looking
straight lipul you cross in safety , hi
wardly deciding that it you ever visii
the place agiiiu the longest toad wil
be the best in the end. Wo meet the
guide and hor. < ca at the toll-hou.se , pay
ono dollar toll for use of the trail am !
in another hour reach the hotel it
time for a hearty supper which is par
taken ot with such relish as only tin
hardships of the ride and the knowl
edge of having spent the most inter
esting day of our lives can impart.
Next day the objective point is
liLAl'IKU HOOKS ,
which from the hotel seems to bo
the highest point in the valley. On
the way a largo clearing or path ap
pears , u half mile in length and twen
ty foot wide , caused by an immense
boulder weighing fifty tons rollinj
down the mountain side early las
spring. All the trees for the entire
distance were levelled to the groinu
while rocks twenty feet square wore
crushed almost to pebbles. A largo
tree about live feet in diameter re
ceived the force of the descending
atone in huch a manner as to cu
nearly two feet of solid wood out ol
Ha mdo and lacerating it fearfully
while the shock snapped the entire
upper half oil' . The course of the
' 'cscouding rock was changed so thai
it now lies within a hundred feet o
the tree , A white spot on the side o
the mountain , seemingly two or three
tcot square , shows where the immense
muss started from. We reach Unioi
point , which from the valley Hoemoc
to bo only a very short distance below
llacicr rocks. On looking down the
wrpetid.cu'.ir ' walls , a distance of
! , ; ? UO fool , wo ha\o ono of the grand
stjows to bo had in the val
cy. Glacier rocks are still a thoiia
and feet above us , Ihiu showing how
ittlc ono o.in comprehend the im
nonsity ot the huightA of these solid
ocks , since in the valley the two
lointa showed very little dillercnco.
The top of this mountain is finally
reached. The top itself consists of
a dome-shaped muss of white rocks so
slippery that no trail exists on them ,
and man and horse clamber as best
hey can. While it is safer to remain
on the horse , it feels safest to bo elf
at this point. To Imvo the horse slip
while on iht'.so slippery rocks at a dis-
: nneo of 4tOO ; feet above the valley
suggests such n horrid descent that
line out of ton visitors prefer to
clnmber on the rocks themsolvoH. An
examination of the pulses ot the par
ty of four at this point showed re
spectively ICO , 112 and 120 pulsations
; o the minute , while ono was simply
luttering. The guide was as tranquil
ns a mule. After'having ascended by
thorf skillfully contrived ] Jtrail of
some fiisty Big-win ? , this , from
: ho bottom seeminuly inaccessible
trccipico , the dcscuntjis made. The
vriter's mustang had Iho tantalising
"nibit of stopping at many of the
urns in the trail. This would bring
lis head and shoulduiu away over the
precipice. Ho seemcU to enjoy the
, 'iow of the valley below n grunt deal
nero than the lider. The view from
Sentinel dome is ono never to bo for
gotten. If a person were a mile high
ip in a balloon with the most inter *
esting and beautiful spot in the Sierra
N'ovada mountains immediately below
liim , Uio ell'ect would not bo more
startling. A deer , started at our ap-
[ iroach , and a rattlesnake further on ,
, 'avo proof that civilization has not
yet robbed the neighborhood of the
: lmrms in which nature has clothed
it. Among St. Louis visitors at this
wonderful place this year were Mr ,
Haiby , the real estate limn , and lady ,
Chtw. llebstock , J. W. Donaldson
and lady , and T. G. Greer. Within
a few yeurs the railroads will pass
within fifteen miles of the valley ,
when it is to be hoped that a greater
number of St. Louisans will bo able
to enjoy the rich treat in storofor all
who visit the valley. L. .1. W. W.

To make timber plentiful md to
render our climate more genial we
must roclotho all nigged' broken land
and rocky crests in Inct , every aero
that is not cultivated or is cultivated
nt a loss with valuable foroit trees.
First All ravines and steep hill
sides , all land too rocky to bo
thoroughly cleared of stone and plow
ed , .should bo devoted to trees.
Second- Protecting belts of timber
should bu planted wherever buildings ,
oicluirds , gardens , etc. , are exposed
to cold , sweeping winds.
* * The.banks of .streams , ponds , ! open
ditches , etc. , should bo planted with
trees that they will bo protected from
abrasion by Hoods and rapid currents.
FourthAll public roads should be
belted by graceful stately trees.
We should preserve , improve and
extend our existing forest by keeping
up a constant siiajeasinn of young
growing trees of the best varieties.
To this it is necessary :
First To allow no stock to nm in
wood-lots for the purpose of forage.
This should bo undo inflexible anc ;
relentless.
Second Young growth in forests
should he thinned moderately ami
judiciously. Worthless varieties
should bo cut out , and the valuaak
sorts tiiunued np m > that they wil :
row fall , forming trunk rather than
hrandhcfi.
Third Timber should bo cut With
intelliirent reference to future growth.
Valuable trees that you wwli to pro
pagate should be cut in the spring.
Those that you ' .vieh to u\terminate
should bj cut in Aujrust.
Bogus Certified ins.
It is no vile drugged stuff , pretoiid-
ing to bo made of wonderful foreign
roots , barks , &c , and pufed up by
long bogus certificates of pretended
miraculous cures , but a simple , pure ,
effective uiedicinomade , of wel
known valuable remedies , that fur
nishes its own certificates by its cures.
