Our party chaperoned by Mrs. A. E. Ivanhoe left La Grande for Salem at 1:30 Tuesday morning. At 5 a. m. we arrived tt Pendleton. As we left Pendleton we saw noth ing but barren wheat fields and sage brush. But soon we came to the Uma tilla ' River which is a broad quiet stream. Ae we journeyed on we came to the Columbia which is a most beautiful river. Soon we saw the Deschutes, a mad nulling stream com ing down to join the Columbia. On tho right were the while sand dunes which looked very pretty in the early morning sunshine. We saw houseboats all along the river. As we passed on we saw the Inter state bridge, we saw some Indians out fishing. Next came the Celilo canal which is quite wide and some miles long. The railroad and the Columbia river highway Jun side by side. We were allowed a stop at the different falls. All are beautiful, but the most beautiful were Horsetail and Multnomah. At Multnomah we had our pictures t.iicen r.cair the falls. The great volume of water decends and with a mighty roar lands on the rocks below. We passed through a tunnel a mile long and when we got through we were covered with cinders. All the way the scenery was very beauti ful. We saw where the public mar kets get their products for ull along the la'ilroad were acres and acres of vegetables. We passed Crown Point and Roos ter Rock, and finally wo crossed the I Willamette nnd reached Portlands We had dinner in the Union depot at Portland. At 1 p. m. we boarded the Southern Pacific to go to Salem. 'As we left the'euturbs of Portland we entered the mountains. . As we passed on, the socenery was most beautiful, the mountains with the still water at their base with here and there a salmon springing out of tho waters made a most beautiful picture. On the other side we could see small villages nestled among the hills. ' At Oregon City we saw the huge volume of water which furnishes wa ter power for its manufacturing. As we nearedthe Capital City we saw hop fields, in one place people were gathering hop.?. At Chemawa we saw the Indian school where the little Indian boys and girls were at play. At 6:30 p. m. we reached Salem and we were let off at the Fair grounds, where we were met by our chaperonos, Miss Fay Clarke, Mrs. Maris, and Mrj.

Then we were taken to our camp grounds and told to get ready for supper which was at 6 oclock. We had four tents, two for the boys one for the girls and one eating tent. In one end of the eating tent was a stove and two small tables, there were two other tables with benches.
