Mr. Gdlley said the Rogue river

they hnd ot been told ' of the many
henutirs of, rinture. Especially did
they enjoy the MilPCieek Falls," the
canyon and the natural bridge. For
Crater Lake he said, he had no words
to do it justice, but that" has been 'more
often described than .some of the lesser
heauties to which justice has never
been done. At Fort Klamath they met

country there,' said Mr. Grilley. "V e
climbed Mouni McLoughlin. which is
at an elevation of near 10,000. feet and
from there we had a beautiful viewT of
the country around, which is sprinkled
with' small lakes. At the lake of the
woods there are 300 or 400 campers
picking huckleberries. The ..Four Alile
