Klamath Marsh, avast tract of meadow
land with thousands upon thousands
of head of horses, cattle and sheep.
None of this land seemed marshy to
us. It is much in the shape of our
Missouri prairie bottoms, with only
this difference that the streams which
flow through it (of which there are
quite a number) flow very rapidly.
From the Rogne River Falls to thb
U. S. Military Post, Fort Klamath, a
distance of 53 miles, there is not a
house to be seeD. The country be
tween these points is too varied to at
tempt a satisfactory description at this,
moment, t?nd I must reserve it for some
other time.
In driving down from Fort Klamath
to Linkville, a distance of 3G miles, we-
have Upper Klamath Lake to our righty
a line sheet of water 30 miles iu length
and 10 to 1G miles wide. On our left
tho road winds along the foot of a high
chain of mountains. Across the Up*
per Klamath Lake may be seen a still
higher ehain of the Ciscade Moun
tains. The scene x?f valley, meadow,
lake an«l mountain is grand beyond de
scription, and in order tojbe fully appre
ciated must be seen.
Tae Upper Klamath Valley and the
Lower Klamath Valley are two distinct
geograplucal formations. The waters
of the Upper L ike force their way
through a narrow canyon in file moun
tains, for a distance of only a mile and
a half, and enter the Klamath River at
Linkville. Only an arm of the Lower
Klamath Lake was visible, the main
body being screened from us by a vast
expanse of swamp aud meadow, con
necting Lake Tule in California with
Lower Klamath. Lakes Warner,
Goose aud Abert are close by, bnt
have other outflows. I have not the
figures at hand to give the number of
square miles that theso lower lakes cov
er. But the area is very great, and
the maps now iu use give but a faint
idea of their magnitude. The whole
country hereabouts is a vast grazing
region, bnt rather high altitude, and
consequently cold in Winter. With &
little effort a thrifty man can out
enough hay in the Fall to do all the
cattle he wants to feed in the Winter
The hay meadows are inexhaustible.
The boiling Hut Springs at Link
ville are a real wonder. We tried to
«lip so'fP with our hands and scalded
them badly. Eggs and potatoes can
be boiled iu them. One of the citi
zens told me that the waters of thia
spring are used for scalding hogs.
