To The Lkadkk: j .-v The mercury has fallen four (oyfive degrees during tbe past twent,y-four hours aud we are feeling four (oyfive degrees better. ' At Omaha it was a complete knockout, a decisive victory for Old Sol. We took the count, and for one whole day such a long day! lav in one of the several hundred sweat-boxes at the Millard Hotel, gasping for breath and devoutly wishing we could annihilate space and drop down again bu dear old Yaquina Bay or in it. But this is a a disagreuable subject. We're still alive and properly thankful. From Portland to Omaha via the i.oc.wtc. i. Lti.aiiu, IXmui' u. Rio GiuHue and tho Chicago, Rock Island & t'aoiiic is a mere sprint of 3,07" miles.

He reports tho outloo'k as being rather dark nt preient owing to the pre dicted heavy run and the seeming in activity of tho cannery men. Henry Tronson of Kernville was in Toledo Tuesday on business relating to a homestead coutest case wherein he is the contestant. Mr. Tronson has been staying faithfully with what he claims to be his by legal right, for over two years now and it is to be hoped that tho final decision will be In ins favor. Stewart & Vnnt have purchased the water front lying adjacent to the city dock, of Dan Grady, and will erect a commodious warehouse in the near future. Tho little building occupied by Mr. Molver as a shoe repair shop, now standing on the site will be moved. Mr. Molver will conduct his business at his new residence on Sixth street The 2-vear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Heurv Rhoades of Yaquina met with a serious accident Monday evening by falling from a railway velocipede. The child was brought to Toledo and placed ia tho care of Dr. Wetmore who found that the little fellow'i tongue was al most cut in two. He stitched the wound together and dressed several minor injuries. Reports from Yaquina are that the patient is rapidly recover ing. thriving citlou and towns.. Ou and 011 through similar landscape iu 'Califor nia, until suddenly grand old snow-capped Mount Shasta bursts into view and claims the traveler's attention hour ot ter hour. And then you stop at the famous Shasta springs and drink pure, spiirkhng soda water right out of the eternal hills without money and with out price. (It costs a littlo more in the L'ullman diners.) Iu due time you reach the wide, fer tile and lovely Sacramento valhM which has been embalmtd in song. Save for a largo tract of marsh land, which tho eye cannot cover the valley merits all tbe nice things that have been said about it. Here aro splendid orchards and vineyards some of the latter embracing an entire quarter sec tion; thousands of acres of level pasture and lands, dotted with cattle, horses sheep; immense wheat fields, which are now, however, only brown fatubble-,' for the harvest time is past, and this part of California is not as attractive as earlier iu tho season. Down below Sacramento ia a town called Benecia. Don't stop at Benecia- if you can possibly avoid it. Better pass right on and visit Oakland aud San Francisco. Beutcia is all right, but it needs considerable fixing. But you must move on eastward, and finally reach the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. And here, you see fruit miles and miles of brick-red soil and beautiful well-kept orchards and vine yards, and after awhile you reach a stretch of country where for miles but little is seen save barren whitish, yel lowish and reddish soil, broken into basins, knolls, seams, furrows and pin nacles. But it is a very interesting scene, for the memories of ThedayHof old, the days of gold, The days of M9 come rushing upon you. Jlere were the original gold discoveries, wlmt a busy scene it must have been ! What a wealth of history, of poetry and fic tion have emanated from these famous old placer diggin's! The sight alone is worth the price of the trip to any American who is not too thoroughly encased in the sentiment proof armor of self-esteem or ignorance of his na tion's history. I But wo can't tell it all. Littlo weekly newspapers were never uesiguea ior that purpose. You pass on and on, through Nevada, which has much of interest and much in common with her sisters on the east and west. On and on till you reach Ogden-andthe long and interesting Southern Pacific run is ended. Only a few minutes' run from Ogden is Salt Lake the City of the Saints with which most of our readers have become familiar through reading or actual observation. All the Oregon editors got out of tbe city with their wives. It is an interesting place -and very much American. ; From Ogden begins the pleasant trip over the Denver & Rio Grande or the Rio Grande Western, a branch of the famous system. This line is noted for its scenery, the finest of which is en countered ou the Denver & Rio Grande proper, from Grand Junction to Deu ver, This ran fairly bristles with eights, eql you can't afford to miss it, There are beauty spots too numerous to men tion. From the pretty and bustling city of Denver you resume the whirl eastward via the Rock Island system. Soon the Rockies are left behind and you are glid ing over the grass-covered foothills, which furnish pasturage for countless numbers of cattle and horses. With scarcely areceptible change you reach the plains oTbleeding Kansas- Kansas isn't bleeding any more. Tito people have renounced the hollow theories and fallacies of Sockless Jerry Simpson and returned to their first political love; tho. grasshoppers have vanished from the land; onco rnoro the rain faUs alike up on the just and the unjust; there is promise ot an abundant narvest, anil tbe'Jayhawkers are apparently at peace with the world and their own consciences. And then comes Nebraska, with its memories ot boyhood days, and also some of later years. Nebraska also pre sents a very promising surface t hat is, in the south and eastern part of the state as far north as Omaha t lie only part we traveled through. Tho faces of Omaha friends looked good to, us, but that is about all. The convention of tho National Editorial Association was a success, and the. editors and their too watchful wives wore royally enter tained. With these subjects wc shall not weary tho reader. Iu this letter we have cut out the few petty annoyancen and unpleasant features which are a necessary or inev itable attachment of-such an extended COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

' Closing Out. trip. ' -I If you want, to see it all, and "get your money's worth," go by tho routes mentioned but don't go ''in the good old summer titno." It's too strenuous. We had almost overlooked Iowa. From Omaha over the Rock Island is a pleasant trip (when tho weather is right ) We noticed many fine fields of corn and small grain, sleek herds of blooded cattle aud numerous largo and beautiful graveyards. Dear Webfoot, if you ever get an op portunity, take the trip. You will have a. good time, see plenty of "sights," and go home with an increased admi ration, love and reverence for Oregon in general and dear old Lincoln county and Yaquina Bay in particular.
