S. L. BROOKS
WRITES0FTR1P
The Obnerver Is in receipt of a let
ter f im Sam Brook, well known lm
bler and La Grande man, who is no
enjoying a trip in California. The
letter, writttn on January l, from
Sacramento, has the following.to s.iy:
"I left Portland, Saturday, January
15, at 7 p, m. and 'arrived at Grants
Pass at 7 a.' m. 'Sunday 'morninir.
Went through the Shasta Mimijtai.n
in daylight. That is a trip that no
one who fver travel will forget be
ij snow in the mountains to .speak
but we encountered a "general h'ii-
zard after we got pretty, well dcVii
the, south slope Awiverf in Sam
mento 3:30 a. m., Mondify. . Stnyed
there two days, thdn, on tne lftth,
went to Floriston in the Siefra Ne
vada MoiPntains. . It rained until we
struck the mountains, then snowed till
day. The snow was 12 feet deen op.
tlj summit. It generally gets IB ft)
18 feet at the summit. There are for
ty miles of snow, the grandest seen
ry I have ever seen in all my trav
els. . . . '
VI also came through the old plae
ler mine of the days of '49, at Gold,
Run and Dutch Flat. . The trains run
through the niines and they are still
minii(f quftc exfensiely. The ditches.
and sluice boxes are 8n both, sides of
the 'road. It makes one think of the
Breckenririge oil fields.
. "This railrVad through the Sierras
is the most-accomodating railiosd I
haw ever traveled over. We wen
over in h"e nignfr" and thy. run very
slow so thev won't wake thi'Tr nassen-
ffers up. and stop every little while to
let those who have awakened, go no
sleep. Then, they run .sow again
For instance, .it is 13.1 miles snfl
it took 13 hours to make the trip
an average 'of 10 miles per' hour.
We came thvough in da-lignt todaV
left -Florist.on this- morning at 7-20
and got here at 3 p. m., but it wa a
-and trip. Will "go on .south tom jr
row. S.. L. BRQOKS." .
