He Found it .Cold in Iowa The following from the Sheri dan Sun is self explanatory: The editor returned Friday evening from his Iowa trip, called there two weeks ago by the death of a brother, firmly convinced that the winter is no time in which to make the journey from the warm, moist climate of West ern Oregon to that of the more rigorous weather of the upper Mississippi Valley. Leaving Sher idan with the warm rains falling and the mercury not down to the freezine Doint. and heinc nrn- . , r jected into a climate where the thermometer registered 25 de grees below zero and the winter blasts forcing the chilling snow down the coat collar, is not a pleasing transition, and strong is the constitution that can with stand the change. But the resi dents there seemed to enjoy it and were quite enthusiastic in their remarks of "what splendid winter weather we are having," a statement that found no echo ing response from our vocal cords as the teeth chattered and the frame shook with the cold. With the snow piled up as high as fences, and ice on the lakes and rivers as thick as a man's height we found no attraction in the winter conditions sufficient to call us back from the state of our adoption. At Minneapolis and St Paul, the far famed twin cities, beautiful in the summer time, $00,000 had already been expend ed in removing the snow from the streets of the former city, and the street cleaning depart ment was waging a losing game with the rapidly falling feathery flakes as they were ground into the dirt of the pavement until the mixture resembled soot and gave one the impression he was wading through coal dust. But the people are content; they are wise in their ignorance of better winter conditions elsewhere, and might, if landed here, complain of our warm weather; but the writer will remain loyal to Ore gon climate and the pure, crystal fluid that courses down the mountain side and provides the most health giving drink on earth.
