He -Celebrates" In Vnlqne Fashion In Valley of the Sioslaw GLEN AD A, . Or., July 5. (To the Edl tor.) It may be of interest to readers of The Oregonian to hear how an Eng lishman spent his first Fourth of July in America, and how much he appreci ates the generous hospitality of the great American cousins of his. An Englishman, or rather a Britisher, to adopt the word of larger meaning. touring through Oregon on business and pleasure bent, I found myself stranded by force of circumstances in the beautiful valley of the Siuslaw and, having missed my friends who were to have met me here, I looked forward with mixed feelings to a lonely and somewhat dismal holiday on that occa sion when all good Americans cele brate a truly National event nay an international event, for all nations and peoples should rejoice that the prin ciple of no taxation without representa tion should, by the revolt of the Brit ish Americans, have Deen so firmly established. I was roused early by strange noises outside my bedroom window and, look ing out, I found that they proceeded from the lusty throats of small Ameri cans, augmented by the sounds of in numerable firecrackers bursting, while the Americans of larger growth looked on with happy approval. Further sleep being impossible, I dressed and went outside to join the revelry, not, how ever, without some searchings of spirit as to how I should be met on such a day. Immediately on being seen, I was greeted with numerous invitations to join an excursion party going to spend the day on the beautiful Glenada Lakes, where I should be able to see for my self how the Fourth was celebrated. Nothing loth, for I had made up my mind in any case to explore these beauty spots, I accepted the Invitation. The genial host and hostess of the ho tel had made arrangements to provide "rigs" to take us the two and a half miles out to the second of the series of lakes, where we were to ba. met by boats, taken across this lake, then over Helkat . trail (strange name), thence across Lake Tslltcoos to the ranch of Mr. Schuster. There dinner was to be provided, after which speeches, recitations, sports, the local band, eta Such was the programme. Most of the excursionists elected to go in the "rigs." I, however, preferred to walk to Lake Woahlnk, and well was my effort rewarded. Possibly my London-tired eyes magnified the beau ties of the rise from the hotel, with its view of the Siuslaw, Pacific Ocean, lying in a blue haze of heat, and the distant wooded capes stretching far north. Possibly my experience in Lon don parks caused me to exaggerate the beauties of the walk through the tim ber and bosky lanes of bracken, rhodo dendron, huckleberries and strange new vegetation to Robinson's landing stage. Possibly my experience of European countries had not prepared me, an Eng lishman, of all men, on such a day, for the universal welcome I received.. As I was Introduced and pressed hearty hands all round, I felt I was amongst my own chez mol proudly too I pinned "Old Glory" in my buttonhole and prepared to accept my friends as I was accepted. Lake Woahlnk possesses glories I should.be jealous to preserve. Helkat trail, between Woahlnk and Tslltcoos. wild spot of strange beauty, twisting and turning through the alders, should be sacred from the woodman s ax; and then Tslltcoos how can one express In adequate language your stately grand eur? Arms stretching in all directions, until the meander line extends 100 miles, each inlet more beautiful than the other; wooded slopes, home of the stately deer, haunt of the bear, cougar and wildcat, waters teeming with trout and salmon. How could I refrain from raising my voice in a loud paen to your praise! As the echo came back, rever berating from inlet to inlet, head to head, it seemed as though the long departed Indians were hurling back de fiance at those who i&red usurp their domain. Schuster's at last, where the Maple Creek and Fiddle Creek ranchers were waiting to greet us. What a royal wel come again, and how many questions I had to answer as to how it went with the old country, and how my heart again rejoiced at the welcome I re ceived. Such a people, and such a day! Then the dinner. Words fall me. The chicken, hams, beef, pies, cakes, straw berries, raspbarries, cream, loganber ries in royal profusion or was it an other miracle, the baskets that re mained? The recitations and speeiches breathed the true, generous spirit of freedom, with nothing of the boastful, and proudly the old flag waved over us all. What a day! What a flag! Who would not be proud to be born under its generous protection? Truly the first Fourth of July in America will ever be Impressed on my memory. The delightful scenery, the general air of prosperity and comfort, surprising because of the Isolation of this district, the lovely climate; surely Indeed "God's country," alas, however, too soon to be brought in touch with the humdrum world. Already the busy contractor is opening up railway work to tap the valuable resources here. Soon the lumberman's ax will take the echoes on Lake Tslltcoos. Then deer and wild game will seek other haunts; the tall trees will bow their heads; the utilitarian age will introduce improve ments (save the mark) into Arcady. Alas that it should be so; and I well. I have the memories of this Glenada country, its lakes and woois. rivers and ocean, and I prefer to let them remain memories. Do not ask me to come here again, to see Nature crucified. Glorious Glenada. lovely lanes, shimmering Siuslaw! How happy Amer icans should be to have yet lert such spots. Go therefore and here commune with Nature face to face, ere th. wild woods are the scene of utilitarian ac tivity in all its sordid ugliness. As for me, I go tortn a wanoerer on the face of the earth, bearing always in my mind the memory of the generous spirit of free America. Old sores are healed, language has now become the political boundary. I see now and for ever the two nags united, iioaung ai wavs tosrether In amity, always in the van of the world movement toward the advancement of civilization and eventual brotherhood of man. w. UKIGQ. To The Oregon By Dean Collins. , Gray as a wave of the Winter sea. Stern In your coat of mall; Yet fair to us as a star, at last Into our harbor sail: A thousand ports, in the years agone. Hailed you before you came To taste the welcome that waits for you In the state that gave you her name. Oregon, first of the mlgnty hulls That sailed from our Nation's fleet To dare a race round the half of the world Through the straits where the twin seas meet; Oregon, first in the battle line. Where the screaming bolts were hurled That swept the flag of the Spanish race From the seas of the Western world. Oregon, first from the armored ranks Of our mightiest ships of war To swim the stretch of a hundred miles Up from the ocean fair; Oregon, first forevermore; For the ships of the world to be Guide through the gates of Panama From the West to the Kastern sea. May the years to come, as the years gone by. Ever tne richer bear The wreaths of honor the world may weave For the Oregon to wear; And brighter still, on the records clear. May the tale of your glory flame Oregon, this Is the prayer for you From the state that gave you her name. Portland. July 7. Half a Century Ago From The Oregonian of July 8. 1S62. We have received a private letter from Captain Medorem Crawford, who was appointed by President Lincoln to raise, equip and command an escort for the overland emigrants bound for this coast from the Atlantic states. The let. ter Is dated at St. Louis, May 2Ath. His company will consist of 50 mounted men, armed with revolving pistols and breech-loading rifles. These, with the teamsters, herders, etc., will make the entire party number about 75. He states that his employes are all indus trious, steady young men, who desire to make Oregon and Washington their homes, and what is of equal Importance, they are good Union men. Captain Crawford states that the emigration westward this year is very large and that nearly all are bound for Oregon and Washington; also that many fami lies had already started across the plains, which, he fears, were illy pro vided for the trip. Florence City, June 29. The town has only two streets. Main and Minor, cross ing each other at right angles, and has perhaps 120 buildings, frame and log, with tents interspersed, and for a new place compactly built. There are per haps 300 log cabins directly up to the town and on the hills and in the ra vines and gulches, occupied by the miners, and perhaps 500 tents. I should say the claims now worked are not less than 1500 and not over 2000. I should say two-eighths of the claims pay "grub," five-eighths pay per day from two to four ounces, and the other eighth from four ounces up to 10, 20, 50, 100 and 150 ounces per day, tho number rapidly diminishing as you touch the highest figures. The dally yield of the mines here cannot be less than $50,000 and perhaps nearer $100,000. Eight men from Marion County, Or., bought the "Three-fingered" claim some 10 days ago, paying $5000 in cash, and they in formed me that in eight, days' work they had paid for the claim, taking out tn one day $1028 and on another day $570 In some four hours. There are perhaps 4000 men working these mines and 2000 or 3000 In and about town with nothing to do and with but little grub and less money. The post at Fort Umpqua has been vacated, the troops heretofore stationed there having been ordered to Vancou ver. We also learn that the last re maining troops at Camp Clackamas. Major Rinearson commanding, have been ordered to Camp Baker in South ern Oregon and, it is expected, will be assigned to duty In the Klamath Lake country.

Men, like the reverend critic, whose lives attest their goodness, have generally condemned it. After all it is doubtful If anyone be lievine In salvation through atonement alone admires its philosophy. Only the religious zlngarl, shameless ly stealing from poet or peasant, phil osopher or priest, whatever seems good to them might find anything in the verses worth carrying away and gip sies are born not made. So wouldn't it be better to direct our efforts against the pestilential "rag time," a "pied piper," that is luring a multitude of youth to the lower planes of life, than to denounce a nightingale whose singing in the distance can never attract the many, and whose voice, call ing from the shadows, may be an in spiration of hope to the listening few? SARAH HINDS WILDER. Carrier Pigeon Llkea Camp. MELBOURNE, Wash., July 4. (To the Editor.) I was reading a piece in The Oregonian a few days ago of a carrier pigeon being found dead in the vicinity of the Humptulips with a rubber and silver band on its legs. A week ago today a pigeon came to camp, with the same kind of bands on its legs. One of the bands had the letters A. 11B. and the figures 9595, and the red rub ber band. had the number 383 and the letter T. The bird Is very tame and efuses to leave the camp.

We ought to remember that the Elks " our quests and that we are expecting a number of members of the Automobile Club to furnish their machines on that afternoon, to take the visitors from the Elks' Hall to the boulevard. The parkway is rightly called in the Elks' programme as being the most scenic boulevard in America.

I wish to state for the Infor mation of visiting delegates to the Elks' convention, those of them who take pleasure in fishing, hunting and scen ery, that there are good transportation facilities, with stage and auto, from Eugene. At Blue River there Is ample accommodation for tourists, with a new hotel, well equipped and within easy reach of all points of Interest.
