Nature's Salute to the Rising Sun. I stood upon the summit of the Cascades near Crystal Lake, in view of Mount Jefferson, Mt. Hood and the Three Sisters in the early morn long before the stars went out and watched their merry twinkle. All was silent as death. The chill breath of those snow capped moun tains was health giving and invigo rating, and for a while kept away the ideals of dreamland and fresh ened my mind that I might take in the beauties of nature, as they sa luted the rising sun. Seating my self upon a great granite boulder, that time and and the changiiiK : seasons had worn smooth, I eagerly arid earnestly watched for the dawn ing of another day, whose birth would be welcomed and praised by the covering of every hill and moun tain top and thus sat quietlv waiting for the carol of the early birds whose soft notes would be sweeter thnn the music of any man's invention. I became sleepy in spite of all my efforts to keep awake, and was soon in happy dreamland. I felt as hap py and care free as the dove that winged its flight in the springtime. I dreamed that I was on the Rock j of Ages and had sat upon my high perch from the beginning of time. I had noted the seasons come and YAQUINA BAY ROUTE j go, I had seen the snow clad moun- I tains to the north and south shed 1 . . their white coverings 111 gentle tear drops and feed the little brooklets, they in turn adding their mite to the grand old Willamette as it coursed its way to the sea jcining issue with the old Columbia the mighty river of the west, which in Humboldt ' turn emptied its cooling wavelets ' into the broad bosom of the Pacific. - j I saw the gentle snowdrop bow its accommodations unsur-i,i ; i11imhir. wnrsiiin tn Hie heat r ! of summer time, sweet williams and j wild roses in their matchless beauty vie with the morning glory in show- Fare from Albany or points west to ' ing their modest faces to be warmed San Francisco: j and kissed by the morning sun.

All that was life drooped and apparently died, but as I always observed came to life again in another sphere. The warm rays of the sun assisted by gentle show ers always moistened the earth and thus provided for natures store house, providing food for the fowls of the air and the living things up on tire earth, the fish in the waters of the rivers and seas, they in turn supplying in part man's wants. He lived and prospered according to his worth and ability, in time return ing to mother earth to be succeeded by a new generation made in part from his decayed body, enriching the earth even ps the followers that went before him, in order that an other one might be born. Thus I sat watching all these changes for ages all seeming regular, the heav ens Above and the earth below. The humane family became greater and wiser, but the earths population never became any greater in appear ance, but I observed that as the humane race multiplied the beasis of the field and natures store house was lessened. But the charm was broken. I awoke w: h t''e ho:ir o.r the early bird as it voic? '. i' pra'se to the returning day. The stars had gone out one by one, 1'ie ext ern horizon was colored with crim son tints, the snow capped moun tains were dripping tears of joy at the departure of night's cold maiif'e. The sun was wanning life "'to hill and dale, hundreds of bi'-r's were charming songs of praise to the birth of anotherday. The flowers smiled shook their heads and sent out showers of v'w-drops that shone like diamonds in the morning sun; the honey bee winged its flight from bower to bower, gathering sweets for leisure hours; flic volleys below shed their cold, grey fog, which was speed:,y wafted away by the morning breeze: the smoke of busy cities a.. ay to the southward curled up to high heaven and was caught in the drifting summer clouds. The roar of the laughing waters as they tumbled over the rocky boulders and hnrrieJiy sought the more sedate rivers down in f'e valley was an eternal praise. Even the slimy reptile that crawled upon Riven Division. r it i f,.,:i. i i The summer had died.

C. 51., Special attention given to Dis eases of Women, and Surgery. Toledo, Oregon people come and go, and the grass that had waved green in the valleys whitened and decayed by winter frosts. I had watched the prairie flower and mountain lilly as they waved in the early spring time and when the winter winds played sad j music through their leafless boughs. I had seen nothing created but what something greater would follow after. Every time the great orb of day came up and warmed mother earth, it caused new blood to course through her healthy veins which iu turn cherished to life a new plant. The decaying vegeta tion in the winter time enriched the blood of mother earth, and a new plant was born in the spring more perfect than the last, even the petals that dropped from the myriads of flowers and were scattered to the winds came foith in their season and perfumed the evergreen glades with their fragrance. 1 on grass that waved green in the valleys and lowlands, nourished the herds of the farmer and the verdant foliage upon the mountaint tops where the lonly shepard held his flocks had its place in natures life. I beheld the changes of seasons moulding dying vegetation into solid rocks, filling its caverns with minerals, diamonds and precious stones. The miracles of one generation I saw sink into insignificance a hundred years later. Time wrought its resort of the northwest, and the Teachers' State Institute will be held at Newport in August, and the clam-bake of the order o( K": will be a great event later in the season. The prosrj.c'.s are thnt over ten thousand people vv'1' vi,,;t Yaquina Bay in August ."'id Sep tember, therefore I shall leave my pleasant but lonely camp here in the Cascades and hie away to New port, "down by the sea." Summer Outing. If there is any one thing that will elect Bryan president of these Unit ed States, it is the attitude of the gold press toward him, as taken by some of the great papers of our country. Sneering at him and call ing names will not answer the ar guments put forth in favor of the principles he represents, neither will it impair the strength of the candidate with the voters. On the other hand it will strengthen him, for the day is gone by in this coun try when the people can be influ enced by such rot in lieu of argu ment. Some wretch, for whom the law has no terrors, recently appropriated unto himself a set of harness belong ing to Judge Fullerton, F. W. Dil lards cart, and J. W.Lander's horse and with them left Roseburg well equipped for traveling.
