SPRISG IX Tilt: JtOO'l'K HIV Ell VALLEY.
Spring lias come to the Rouc River valley. Cloudless
skies and sunshine make the day glorious, and the night,
set with its myriad of swinging lights or mellowed by the
silver of the full moon, is no less alluring. A touch of frost
still lingers in the air the last goodbye of loitering win
ter. ; Spring in the Rogue River valley does not mean the
spring of the east, with its disagreeable thaw and its knee
deep slush, the loosening of the frigid bonds of winter.
Our spring is the gradual transition from the showery
period of a mild season, called by force of'habit winter,
into the most delightful period of the year. Already the
evergreen hills are wearing fresh hues of velvet green.
lid flowers are spending their pertuine in the passing
breeze. Alfalfa is renewing fields of the cloth of green.
Wheat fields wear a still more vivid verdure. Almond
trees are in bloom and buds of all kinds swelling with new
life. Nature, after her period of quiet rest, is renewing
the annual miracle of life.
Spring in this favored and fertile region has loitered
away long this year. She is a month behind her usual ad
vent. But now that she has finally made her bow, the rest
ed earth is rapidly paying tribute to her beauty, while the
air is filled with the whistled melody of wild songsters.
Fruit trees are laden with fruit buds and the greatest
crop on record is assured. There has been so much mois
ture that no possible frost can damage the prospects, as
is sometimes the case when the season has ben a dry one
and spring has flown too early from the lap of winter.
It is a time of year when we are all optimistic, and new
blood surges through our veins urging us to renewed ac
tivity and greater effort. Ambitions blossom as the wild
grasses on the hill, and careworn brains forget their wor
ries in the inspiration of sunshine and flowers.
It is a delight to Ik- alive from early morn "when jo
cund day stands tiptoe on the mountain top" to herald a
still more glorious noon, a brilliant sunset and a calm, sweet
night, in which we sink peacefully into unconsciousness
in the horizon of the dreamland sea.
