Mr. E. S. McComas, one of tht

elegantly said:
"The scenery can not be surpassed and

Probably a climat better adapted to the
health of man and beast does not exist on
the American continent than that of Grand
Ronde Valley. Pulmonary diseased have
never been known to orijriiiate here, and
many cases that were deemed hopeless in
other localities have been entirely cured by
a short residence in this valley.
The altitude of Grand Eonde is about
2, 170 feet above the sea level, and its cold
est record is about 18 below zero, its hot
est about 96', the thermometer usually in
winter marks from treezing to eight or ten
degrees below.
In the mountains such game as
deer, elk and grouse is abundant; in
the valley chickens, ducks and rabiits
are killed in great numbers. Monnt-
ain streams are abundant with tine
trout.
