Good lights are equally important, how

In a letUr to the Oregonian A. B.
Roberts contributes some Interesting
data on the discovery of Hot Lake
so near to our doors,' and so
wonderful In its health restoring pro
perties. The article is full of the
early history of this valley and by
reason of its worth, will be interst
ing to those who love to be well in
formed about the country in which
they live. Says this letter:
A recent newspaper article in re
gard to that wonderful freak of na
ture, Hot Lake, gives the reader a
rather mistaken idea of the place, it
seems to me.
It was never used by the Indians or
other aborigines as a sanitary resort
in early times and was not known by
human beings until 1861, as evidenced
by the conditions surrounding ttat
wonderful p;ace at the time that An
gus McKay and I happened that way
in July of that year.
In July, 1861, a small party of five
left Walla Walla Valley to go out on
the plains to meet our friends, who
were coming to join us in that new
settlement of the Northwest. Arriving
in Grand Ronde Valley, we found it a
virgin meadow, with no track of man
since the previous immigration of
1860 had passed through.
Having started earlier than neces
sary, for the purpose of prospecting
and looking a little at the country,
we stopped several days in this beau
tif ul valley and traveled over and
examined every cove and every place
of interest, naming streams and
mountains and lakes.
On one day Mr. McKay and I made
! a trip around the valley to the east
and south. Leaving the old immv
grant road where it comes down the
great hill near what is now called
Ladd Canyon, we skirted the foot of
the mountains lying to the east. The
valley comes to the foot of this range
of hills as a wet and swampy
meadow, and the mountains rise very
abruptly and very rocky, so we made
our way along at the edge of the
swamo and the rocks, and there was
no indication of a trail of any kind
Indians never make trails except to
lead from place to place, from camp
to camp, or from camp to fishing
ground.
Proceeding along the valley six or
eight miles we were confronted with
a large bunch of willows or rather a
fringe of willows along the hillside
that seemed to extend out into the
meadow swamp and around a small
lake. We dismounted and led our
horses up onto the hillside. No trail
not a rock disturbed. We turned and
! looked over the valley and we observ
' ed a small luke of about one or two
1 acres, sutrounded by a fringe of
willows.
The lake seemed to be disturbed or
boiling with steam or smoke arising.
As we stood contemplating the scene
a strong smell of sulphur was driven
by us. I then remarked to Mr. Mc
Kay: "That is a hot sulphur lake.
That was the name we gave it and I
think that was the first time it was
seen by white men and named. We
I were mapping the country as we
! traveled over it, and my map of the
valley shows that this hot sulphur
lake was duly located and named, and
I dare say that is the first time
ever did appear on paper, but the
story of the discovery has been print
ed in newspapers over. 50 years ago.
as the story of that desperate and
foolhardy trip was duly published in
the local papers upon our return.
