FROM OVER THE JIOUNTAINS.
Rosland, Oregon, Dec. 20, 1897.
Thinking a line from one of Lin
coln county's wandering sons might
be interesting to the readers of the
Lincoln County Leadfr, I take
occasion to write a few lines.
Hoping a change of climate might
improve the condition of my health
I crossed the Cascade mountains iu
October and am now teaching the
public school at Rosland; which is
situated on the upper Des chutes six
ty miles south and west of Prineville.
The valley of the upper Des Chutes
is about seventy-five miles in length
and twenty five in width and has an
altitude of something over four thou
sand feet. East Des Chutes wends
its way in graceful curves through
a beautiful meadow of native grass.
These meadows on an average are
a half mile in width and on either
side is an abrupt raise of fifteen or
twenty feet. Then the bench land
extends for miles on either side of
the river, It is almost level and is
covered with black pine and bunch
grass. The soil is very poor, being
a light coarse sand or volcanic cin
ders. Most all hardy vegetable are
grown successfully.
The Des chutes is one of the long
est rivers that raise in Oregon, and
has a all of about four thousand feet.
In this valley it is very sluggish
and during the cold weather freezes
almost to the bottom, But after leav
ing the big meadows which are six
teen miles below here it is very rapid
running through a deep gorge.
It drains nearly all the eastern
slope of the Cascade mountains that
areiu Oregon. Looking to the north
west I see the snowy tops of the
Three Sisters, Broken top and Bach
lor mountain. To the North-east I
see Pauline mountains and to the
south up the river I just can see the
top of Diamond Peak.
The snow in the valley falls from
three to four feet deep every season
lays on all winter. But for all that
it is a good stock country, the nat
ural meadows along the streams
yield large crops of hay which is fed
to hundreds of head of cattle, horses
and sheep during the winter season.
Rosland is the central station on the
Silver Lake and Priuville mail route.
The stages meet here two nights out
of every week change mail sacks and
return the next day to their respect
ive places.
The weather has been very pleas
ant so far excepting a little cold and
that I do not mind on account of the
pleasure it brings by freezing up the
sloughs and making fine skating
which sport I enjoy very much. The
snow is now about six inches deep
but it is clear and cold.
I have now been at Rosland six
weeks and I feel that my health is
much improved.
You may hear from me again later
on.

The Christmas tree and enter
tainment held at the M. E. church
Christmas evening was a grand suc
cess, and everyone was very well
pleased. The time set for opening
the house was 7 o'clock, but there
were so many there before that
they had to open the doors fifteen
minutes betore that time, anil they
kept coming till 8 o'clock. The
entertainment commenced with a
song, followed with a prayei by the
pastor, Rev. C. R. Ellsworth; then
a word of welcome by Professor
Graves, the superintent of the Sun
day school. Hon. R. A. Densell
was then introduced and gave us an
appropriate talk, the theme being
"The American Flag." He car
ried the minds of his hearers back
to the the time when the S:ar ap
peared to the wise men of the East,
and how it went before them an 1'
led them to where our Saviour was
bom. He then showed how tin
flag represented that star, ami lion
it was carried before nn army when
going into battle. He said lli.it the
blue represented the be.uuif.il sky;
the stars the stirs of heaven, the
red represented the blood of Ch ist
that was shed on Calvary, and the
white the shawl that the Savior was
wrapped in. After this address the
superintendent proceeded with the
program that was gotten up for the
occasion by the committee, every
oe performing their parts well.
After the completion of the program
the presents were taken from the
ttee and distributed, after .which
everybody went home well satisfied.
The pastor was much surprised
when he got home and opened up
the armful of nice presents given
himself and family, and felt very
thankful to the donors therefor.
Prof. Graves, Mr. Flowers and Mr.
Oliver, and Mrs. Oliver, Mrs.
Wood worth, Miss Daisy Ghormley
and Miss Flora Strayer deserve
much credit for their eflbrts in
making the tree a success.
A protracted meeting is in pro
gress in the M. E. church with
much interest. It will continue
all this week.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if let to
run its course without the aid of
some reliable cough medicine is li
able to result in that dread disease,
pneumonia. Ne know of no better
remedy to cure a cough or cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and
it has always gi'en entire satisfac
tion. Oolagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventative
of pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it for
colds and la grippe we have never
yet learned of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia. Persons
who have weak lungs or have are
son to fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand.
