From the State Line Herald. The bards o the Sierras sing the grandeur of their nattvo crags and peaks. Tahoe, Yosemite, Shasta, Lave each in turn been festooned with gar lands of poetry and song. Each nock and vale of the Eastern hills have been sought out by literary men and women and their beauties made to shine upon the pages of all the great literary jour nals of the land. From Mt. Washing ton to Hood and Itanicr, not neg lecting that mighty rock fringed flood, the Columbia, grand in its unexcelled majesty, scenes, places and things have been sought out and described by mas ter hands at description. Yet, in the deep recesses, or among tho Gcd-like heights of the Cascados of Oregon may be found deeply hidden in dark forests of giant pine and fir, scenes that for grandeur, sublimity or beauty, were nevet excelled and seldom equalled in tho awful handiwork of nature; scenes seldom visited and never described; scenes to which the world's great tour ists are yet strangers, to tho renoitn of which no bard lias sung. Men seek out foreign lands to puzzle their brains in combining words to vary the des criptions given by thousands of writers before them, when their -own native country affords wonders in nature far excelling any to be found abroad. In a former article to the readers of tho Herald, wo promised a description of Crater Lake of the Cascades, which, by the few who have visited it is pro nounced the grandest of its kind in nature. Some there are who have traversed the Alps and the- Appennin es, havo visited Yosemite and Tahoe, only to stand tntranced on the brink of this dhce mighty cauldron and look witli silent awe into its awful depth, or, turning, view with rapture the beauti ful landscape spread out like a map be- Io nd around them. The roads lead i;araiFjii 1 i, lu-, -Huiiitmfur ,. fruitful of other treats, m tho rugged grandeur of this picturesquo range. The best time for visiting Crater Lake is in tho month of August, before the snows of autumn come to block the way, or her frost to-hite the wanderer, or blight tho verdure so near these lofty summits. The location of the spot wo seek is twent3'-Sve miles in a northerly direction from Ft. Klamath, near tho northwest border of Lake county, Ore gon, and is directly on the summit of the Cascade range at an elevation of 0000 feet above level of the sea. Leav ing the California and Oregon stage line at Jacksonville or Ashland in Rogue river valley, having first provid ed ourselves with all tho necessary ac coutrements and paraphernalia for camp and mountain travel, we start in a northerly direction for the banks of Rogue river. The Rogue river road to Ft. Klamath is a reasonably good one at this season of the year, and will bear us within three or four miles of the lake, which is about ninetyjniles dis tant from our starting point. Having reached and crossed the river at Han nah's ferry, we turn our course up stream. As wo move on, the valley grows narrower and farms and farm houses are fewer, while the rapid river grows swifter, the forest denser, and mOre rugged. Fifty mile3 of our jour ney brings us to "the bridge.'' Here the river has narrowed to soventy-fiv feet in width and runs with fearful rapidity between steep ami rocky banks. In a distance of one and a half miles from this point the river falls 300 feet and passes through a deep gorge in the mountains, rushing at times down a steep declivity, then leaping impetuously from rock to rock, lashing itself into fury and foam, whirl ing in eddies or resting a moment in some protected basin before plunging, fifty feet with a rush and roar, only to repeat the same wild phantasies as it rolls wildly on to the ocean. Ere reaching the foot of the first rapids, tho roar of the mighty waters in tho distance rises above the din of those at our feet and moving as rapidly as the character of tho country will permit, we discover through tho trees the snowy foam of the great falls of one branch of tho river as it plunges with a single leap over a perpendicular cliff 184 feet, without a break, into tho rapid flood below. The fall is one of the finest to bo found in these wild and solitary regions. Situated as it is in the depths of one of Oregon's aKg-JaTPTajj mightiest forests, where the pine and fir g-ow to a gigantic size, where the sun seldom penetrates tho gloom, and I the foot of the white man until a few years ago had not penetrated, where its never ceasing roar wakes the echoes of the ro:ks and caverns which abound in this weird region, as, for centuries, it has done, and builds its beds of moss whero lights its eternal sprays, the traveler intrudes upon its solitude with a feeling of awe, half-akin to fear. He looks about him, expecting to meet some hag or ghoul-like spirit, ready to repel his ruthless intrusion. "Wander ing among tho woods and through tho mountains in this vicinity is a hazard ous business for a solitary ramble un accompanied by gun or dog. Old bruin of the grizzly species, is found in great numbers; deer, elk and other game are also plentiful. Leaving tho roar and gloom about the falls of Roguo river, wo will jour ney ou towards our destination, which is still forty miles away. Our road lies through one of the finest forests of the State. Here the sugar pine and fir grow to the height of 250 and 300 feet, with diameter in many instances from six to ten feet, and will doubtless some day be utilized with great profit. For many miles there is nothing to vary the monotony of this interminable forest, until wo find our road running along the edge of a canyon which by time and water has been washed down the mountain sides to considerable depth. This w ash occurred many years ago as tlio forest trees have grown in it to an enormous size. Tho great curiosity of this canyon, however, are tho columns or pyramids of rocky ce ment standing at the bottom of the gorge, and with a base of thirty or for ty fret, reach a height of seventy-five or one hundred. These pyramids have evidently been composed of a harder substance than that which surrounded them and did not yield so readily to the action of water; hence,.- preserved as itemsinthaj. pa' Pauor"' 'l-grmrur mnmiiin. i t-nJ in this wild region. Having reached a point within ten or twelve miles of tho summit of the mountain, our road becomes gradually steeper and moro difficult to ascent. Here, too, evidences of volcanic action are more apparent. Great masses of pumico stone and Java are seen scatter ed about. The character of vegetation gradually changes, and fir predominates in this altitude. When three miles from the summit, we turn to tho left and after toiling for a mile over scoria, pumice and lava, we go into camp and prepare to make the remaining two miles, which is quite steep, on horse back or afoot. Tho weather for camp ing is excel! -nt and the denseness of the fir timber gives protection from the winds. Open glades at hand pro sent n very tempting feast for our jad ed horses and we soon have the satisfac tion of seeing them revelling in clover and redtop, knee high, while the rip pling sound of the many pebbly brooks near by give assurance of an abundance of nature's bevcrago as pure as though just distilled from drops of pearly dew. It is well to take tho early morn for the remainder of our journey, and breathe the morning air from the mountain tops. A night's rest in these high altitudes, coffee and bacon before sunrise, and the invigor ating air give life and vigor, and soon we find ourselves tripping up tlir mountain at a rate only to be main tained a. few moments without rest. The ascent is not remarkably steep in fact wagon's can bo driven to the very brink yet at such an altitude the air is very rare and light and one soon becomes exhausted and overcome by exertion. As wo advance the scenery about us changes rapidly, yet there is no indication of a body of water ahead;in fact a-e appear to havo reached an elevation beyond which it is not reasonable to expect it. The trees become more dwarfish and scraggy. The grass id less abundant, and wo miss the brooks and springs so plentiful just below. We halt now and then beneath the shade of thick clusters of fir, to gather breath and rest our weary limbs. Occasionally through openings in the trees we get glimpses of towering peaks, deep gorges and wide spreading forests irt tho distance. We look longingly ahead for the opening which is to ter minatd our toils and reward our exer tions, but in vain. To all appear- ADVERTISING RATES.

' S3 PER YEAR nspcgcgaeiamM anccs we are no nearer than wa war an hour ago, and again with a sens of fatiguo we move on. All at onco and without a moment's warning we find ourselves emerging from the timber into an amphitheater-like opening. Towering rocks rise up on either hand and in front and point skyward; around and about us is spread a scene of dejo'ation. Huge masses of lava, ashes, pumice stone and rocks of igneous formation lio scattered about. No sign of life outside of our own little, party is visible, the solitude w almost oppressive. Just beyond ns rise a semi-circle of peaks towering from 500 to 1,500 feet above us and encircling an area of about eight by fifteen miles. A few minutes more bring us to the brink of Crater Lake, where, standing on a pinacle of rocks, we gaze with silent wonder into iti awful depths. None can look upon the scene without feeling that he is in the presence of some Godlike majesty, a sense of his own insignificance steals over him and ho involuntarily shudders in contemplating the awful work wrought by an unseen and mighty, power, ere entering upon the distrip tion of which we will pause for strength to do it justice.

""" 4 The Hon. County Court of Douglas county havo contracted with Miller A Son of Portland for a bridge across Cow creek, five miles west of this plane. The bridge is to be a Smith truss and will cost 2,100. It is not oa the stage road, but will nccommodate a large farming community. Wm. Ruble of Grave creek who is working the celebrated Cayote gold mine which has been in litigation, has had a very successful winter's run. He has taken out over S3,000 already, and is not more than half through cleaning up. He says he will clean up between five and six thousand dollars. A large number of deer havo been killed in this vicinity during the past winter for their hides, the game law to the contrary notwithstanding. Messrs. Riddle Jk Manning, merchants of this place, bousht over 5,000 pounds of deer hides within the past five months. L. Stacy, another buyer, has probably bought as many more which taken together with lots bought by small dealers will make a sum total of over 12,000 pounds, and considering that these hides have been purchased of men who live in this country and that deer hides will averago about 3 pounds to the deer, it will be seen that about 4,000 deer have been killed here during tho winter. The price paid has been from 30 to 42 cents per pound. Canyonville, May 14, 1881. The dispatches confirm, what wa have heard privately, that the Oregon and California Railroad Company is about to be reconstructed and reorgan ized, so that the road will be placed on an independent financial basis and be constructed through to California, but we are told that no work will be done on the extension the present year. It is intimated that the reorganization also contemplates construction of railroad to Astoria from Forest Grove. So the coining road will probably be through from Astoria to California. Willamette Farmer. Fortune's Whims. Gov. Perkins, of California, has appointed W. II. Knight Harbor Commissioner at San Francisco. Twenty-two years ago the Governor worked for Mr. Knight at Oroville for 50 per month. It is a custom of the Chinese to pay the doctors only while the patients re main well. Every family has its fam ily doctor who gets so much per eead per year for each member, save during sickness when the pay stops.
