ganizing a commercial club.
At a

lining th e business on han d, he called
on Mr. George We at hef by , th e p u r

Oregon.
Our route h om e from San Francisco
was along tin* coast thru Petaluma,
KureVa, Crescent City to ll.mdon,
thence to Roschurg and along the high
way to Oregon City and home. This
route, while not improved as much as
the main highway, was one of (In* fin

The rugged and abrupt coast line
along the or,»an in northqrn California
presents the most wonderful scenic
route in the west, and the drive thru
llit* forests of Redwood trees from
EureKa to Crescent City, was a revela
lion to the novice. A person familiar
with the timber on the Pacific coast,
and the large fir trees, has never seen
any timber in comparison with tin*
Redwoods. The bark somewhat in a p
pearance of the cedar, grows very
thick on the trees and the trees them
selves are so large, tall and stra ig ht

of tlie’n, without immediately start ing
a question as to my truth and veracity.
We were fortunate in leaving the

the highway was in good condition and
work for the summer ju s t commencing,
but on *he way borne we were in rough
and dusty going at many places, where
the road crews were improving the
highway.
