and writing his observations to the
newspapers in the far-away Inland, re

an article on "Oregon From the Sum

from seven successful and from as
many unsuccessful ascents of Mount
Egmont, New Zealand, was needed to
scaie tne glacier leading up to the
summit of Mount Hood, Oregon. The
season was late almost too late. The
long summer's heat had moltr.,1 r,nm
the face of the glacier all the softer
snow and Ice which provides a foot
ing, and had left nothing but a bare,
slippery surface, hard as adamant,
ana yielding only to persistent effort
with mattock, hatchet and alpenstock.
As we gradually ascended the great
glacier we picked our way cautiously
across tne narrow and all too fragile
Ice bridges that afforded th n nnlv nai.
sages across the chaBms that at the
season of the year are everywhere ex
posed on the side of the great glacier.
The last thousand feet of the almost
vertical glacier face would have been
practically Impossible without the aid
of guide rones Which earlier In tho
season had been firmly attached to
tne summit, and for two hours the
whole party depended for progress

How often, as the roDe swaveri tn mil

Grand Panorama.
a Under such circumstances It la lit
tie wonder that we scarcely intH
around us until we gained the sum
mit, where we realized for the first
time what It means to stand on a pln-
naoie nearly 12,000 feet above the
surrounding world.
Around us wps one of the grandest
panoramic views the world has to of
fer. The most striking feature of the
view Is the seven Isolated volcanic
mountain cones, each high among the
high mountains of the world, each
over 9000 feet In height, and rising
grandly from the comparatively low
lying Cascade range. Their bases
were veiled In mist; their symmetrical
forms were outlined against a blue
sky. Their ridges and gulches were
thrown into relief or shade by the
ngnt or the morning sun. Seven such
cones as Mount Egmont; for if not so
symmetrical as that queen of the
south, they are verv much higher
and In the presence of their rivals
does not detract from but rather adds
to their malestv and arranripni-
Mount Baker, near the Canadian
border, was not visible nor was Mount
Shasta In northern California, but
Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and
Mount St Helens, in Washington,
Mount Pitt. Mount Rentt 'on.l xrnn
Jefferson In Oregon were the peaks
mat contributed to our grand pano
rama. Standing on this culminating
point of the Cascade range we com
manded a splendid view of both east
ern ana western Oregon.
Not that the whole of Oregon Is
visible from Mount Hood, for the peak
Is too close to the Columbia. rl
which forms the northern boundary.
Southern Oregon la lost to view In the
distance, but enough of eastern and
western Oregon Is visible to form a
very striking contrast. Western Ore
gon appears all forest, In spite of the
splendid and expansive areas under
cultivation, wntie eastern Oregon
seems comoaratlvelv riesnlnte with
the eastern foothills of the Cascade
range the forests disappear.
TCfUtnTl Vlmv.
There Is no reappearance of forest
land till one reaches the Blue moun
tains, over 100 miles to the east, and
this great expanse between Is covered
with sagebrush and bunchgrass.
While western Oregon has long been
recognized with Its fertile soil and
moist climate as one of the most pro
ductive countries In the world, east
ern Oreron was thought tn ha n. waste
Originally it was Inhabited by the Nez
Perces Indians, who kept mostly to
the Columbia river and its tributaries.
But, aa wltlt so many countries, the
pioneers came. In the form of miners
searching for gold. Placer mining
was started on an extensive scale, and
later was followed by regular quartz
mining.
Towns sprang up In great numbers,
and though many of them have long
since disappeared, there remains a
considerable noDUlation who follow
mining. Cultivation of the soil on a
moderate scale followed as a natural
result, ana grazing, too.
Then some discovered with sur
prise that bunchgrass was Just the
thing for stock, and Oreson nAvanA
to the second state for sheep In Amer
ica, and horses became so plentiful
and cheap that often they were shot
to make room for cattle and ht...
or driven In herds to the east to be
Killed and canned for the poor of
Europe. Then, less than 20 years
ago, anotner very Important dlscov

The Blue mountains are not verv

uuu reet, but they are hla-h enough
to condense the moisture that es
capes the Cascades and that comes to
mat country with the northwest
winds. Grazing soon gave place to
wneat growing.
Strangest thing of all was that urnllo

Rheumatism is a disease that involves tu

failure of the eliminative nro-anc tha t;,. v:j

urea, or natural refuse matter Tln'o
contact with the different acids of the body forms
unc acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing

unable to leave my room fop several months I
was treated by two dootora and also tried differ-

One day while reading a paper I saw an adver

to give it trial, whioh I did at onoe. After I had
