DENVER MAN SAYS WALLOWA
VALLEY AND LAKE ARE VER
ITABLE WONDERLAND.
Mr. George Gibbons, a represen
tative of a Denver mining machin
ery house, stopped over in La
fraude on his return from Wal
lowa county, and was very enthusi
astic in his praises of the Wallowa
valley and especially the beauties
of Wallowa lake, says the Star.
"I have traveled all over the
world and I never have seen any fin
er acenery than that of Wallowa
tounty, Oregon," said Mr. Gibbon.
The Wallowa lake In surely a won
derland and Js worth going across
he continent to visit. There Is a
Urge camp of . summer outera at
.he lake and I was told that many
it them were from La Grande
ind Portland. I cannot for the life
f me see what, any one would want
'-0 go to the coast for, wLth that lake .
: aaily accessible as lit Is byi rati. I
have been up there for a week and
.f business would have permitted. I
ju.-'I have stayed there for the rest
it the summer. The scenery la sim
ply sublime, the air cool and refresh
ing, and one can go to sleep smell
ing the sweet scented plues and lis
tening to their whisperings In the
.light breezes. And as the sun rises
ia the morning, now I tell you it Is
-limply grand. The morning light
turns those high mountain peaks Into
i veritable fairyland, with the morn
ing mlsta playing hide and seek out
and in among the snowcapped heights
a a manner that makes a man won
ler It he is. In. America or in Swlt
orland. I am coming back here In
August and I am going to bring a
Mend or two from. Denver and a big
hunch of people from Salt Lake wJ a
:ue to camp for the 'rest of the
season."
