The sun had scarcely arose when
the summit was gained. The view
was said to be most sublime. As
the sun shot his earliest rays through
the masses of filmy clouds, and
over the stretches of plains, hills
and forests, the shadow of Hood
was thrown e'ear across the Wil
lamette Valley, and against the
western horizon. Such another
magnificent view could not be ob
tained anywhere in the State. Port
land could be faintly descried with
the aid of a powerful spy.glass.and
resembled a cluster of white objects
not dissimilar to small pieces of
cloth attached to a line. A cold,

party to liegin the descent, which
lliev did 'after giving three heart v

experienced by the party hunting
