The Denlson Daily Herald.-Dear Friend: As 1 have written a number ot the relatives, friends and acouaint- ances describing the unparaelied Deaucy and advantages ox this North west country. I feel that you also should be willing to become a victim of the same outrage. ' My advice to anyone whose besom heaves and throbs as his eyes feast upon nature's wild riot of beauty and massive eloud piercing peaks, is to get a Ford and see America first, that is, if yon oan find a Ford that will behave itself. On September 2nd last, we turned tne nose 01 our little Ford northward, leaving good old Texas, but failing to shake oil ail the dust of Texas. Lord knows, the Ford shook hard enough but the dust just stuck on, and it wasn't very long until we had fivg layers of it from the five states that we passed through. After conquering some wonderful (?) roads in three states, the little tin wagon was still "peppy" and eager for the chase. Be ing anxious to see the mountains (we had never seen them before) we made the graveBt mistake of the trip. We had forgotten for the moment about the poor little timid, frightened Ford, accustomed only to shimmying across a Texas prairie. Why, the little fel low trembled all over. We ran into one of those torrential moi water-spouts, way up at the top of Ute Pass. The tin lizzie, by this time was so frightened that the wild Bam, Bam, Bam, of its motor was plainly audible through the roar of thunder and falling waters. Then seeing vis ions of Texas dirt roads after a rain, and thinking it time for a much need ed rest, the tin wagon pulled a cute trick. In spite of my efforts to the contrary, it slipped over against one of those dizxy walls of rock that end-: ed somewhere above the gushing clouds, disobeying - my orders ant atoDDed hflrn-Kamrning of its own S- cord, I always will believe we would have made that hill, if we had at first bindfolded the thing. Well, that's the nearest we ever came to drowning on ton of the moun tains. We fought streams of water for two hours, and when the rain changed from solid sheets 01 water to the ordinary Texas gully-washer type, we crawled out, and found that- the timid Ford was wiling to wheeze and cough again, but refused to take that mil. The wife then took the wheel, after looking up directions in the little book that came with it when it was new, fed it four double rations of gas oline. I don't know how many ra tions I fed it of a more explosive gas ( under my breath 1 , Anyway it moved on up the remaining eighteen miles, the Ford "poppin" with action, while I popped with perspiration and impressive oratory. Alter eight days and nights of this we finally reached the top of the world at Tennessee Pass. Suddenly the little Ford went wild. It acted just like it had been shot from a gun. Great guns! There's nothing that will beat a Ford when it eomes to running down hill! it just simply scorned the gas'n ev'ry thing. We emelled something like a punk cigar. Somehow I got the idea to iook xor a not Lax, just lute tne brakemen used to do on the Katy when we smelled something wrong, smoking, and the only way I could think of to manage that blame road louse was to feed it the "high" explo sive that I had used coming up the hill, and strangled myself trying to do it tinder my breath; The best way to lose your religion is to start out over the Rockies in a Ford. I lost all mine on the first jump, and for six hundred wiles I kept losing more of it that 1 didn't know 1 had.

I shall be much pleased to have anyone come into my office and ask the particulars, which can be given much better verbally than by letter. E. E. Swenson The Realtor of Beaverton vegetation, which beautiftss it to an extent unbelievable. From every rock springs a delicate fern or mat ot moss. Every slope at certain sea sons, is a veritable bloom from shrub to trcetop, every crevice and canyon is a cascade of surest, clearest cold est melted snows, ready at all tinea to quench the burning thirst and soothe the narcheoY line of the stains- man. And believe me, they come la droves. You should be one of them, Shriners who attended the conven tion here in Portland would drink lit Hood's melted snows as it bub bled up in the street drinking fount- .'j . . HVh, it. iMlil" The Shrine parade was quite an af fairninety Urge bands and the same aise delegation from every where. It took them three hour to pass In review, and tie Rose Carni val floral parade, two days later was just as lengthy and unequaled in splendor. Also electrical parades at night with beautiful floats ablaie with light supplied by trolley tracks. The ninety bands gathered together one day on the golf grounds and played. Well you missed It by not; being there to see it all, nd I would i have to wear out the typewriter to tell you about it. Saw a number of 1 Texas friends, and hundreds ox Shriners from Texas. Am now on the road all the time and have visited many beautiful puc es, among them tjfce Willapa bay In western .wesoingion. ioe Day is en- closed bv a thirty-mile strin of Den- insula called North Beach. The mninsula itself is a thing of beauty, and a famous summer resort. It ha twentv-aeven muss ox unbroxen beacn so smooth that when the breakers wash over it, in the sunlight it has the appearance of glass. The wet sand is hard that the heaviest auto hardlv leaves a track, and there isn't a pebble, or hardly a nppie in tne sand to mar its glassy surface. This peninsula is the home of the famous southwest waanington cranoerry bogs. We boarded the little passenger steamer Bnamrocic at nancona, tne peninsula's point, and passed the small islands whose wild growth is so fine and fluffy that it resembles green hair on a monster gosling float ing about. Sharp-winged and long beaked ducks fly in paua just a few inches above water, along a course as straight as a surveyors air line, and movements as precise as those of a toy monkey on a string. At a dis tance a thick frrouD of sea mills look like someone had enrotied a feather pillow in the air, or ditto if lit on a sand bar. When a flock of sea ravens fly between one and tne sun, a sha dow, as from a small cloud, floats alonsr over the aurzace of the nay. The sea ravens are a lighter shade of black than the ordinary crow, about the same sine with longer wings, un this particular day they wore after sardines. The sardines swim in long schools. The ravens were strung out above them in a string a m.ie long. The wily sardine is constantly chang ing course, and the ravens fly from place to place like a flock of Texas cow birds. Miles across the bay can be seen a huge white sand bluff. When the ravens fly between you and the bluff, it looks like volumes of belching black smoke. A large flock of mills took after the litte steamer, flying close to the aft deck. I threw a nan aim ox rose peais overDoaro, and instantly every one of them dashed down to the water, and gob bled them up, chattering just like a bunch of noisy, greedy children. One of the orettiest sights ox tne bay is the untold millions of glltter- uur sunbeams winxing at you xrom the ittle curled peak of every wave Oh! You are simply held spellbound as you look upon miles and miles of shimmering, dazzling, suvery jeweis wind and wave. And when you look off through the gap that sepa rates the great bay from the track-, lees deep, you observe a long line of ghost-like geysers, tossing seeming ly a dozen feet in the air, ceaselessly ruins: and f ailing. 1 hey are tne great breakers 01 tne r acute dasmng over the sand bars. It is a gripping scene to a plsinsman. We loaded the boat at two ports with crabs and clams. They just pile them in large boxes and nan tnem up alive. When they reach the mar ket they are still alive, and are drop ped into boiling water, and presto; We have a lucious crab. Sneaking of fishing, the biggest snap 1 ever neara ox is tne little wig ling smelt. All you have to do is to hold a small net or an old bird eage stuck on a pole down into the water and thev run into it till it is full. They "run" up the Columbia River and into the shallow tributary streams lust a lew days once every year. Throw ft line into the Columbia and 0(M SACKS for sale CHAS. BER1T0LD feed store Chas.

Along the rapids of the Klickitat, Deschutes and Columbia, it is a common sight to see the Indians conquering the big ones with rod and reel. The prettiest streams that I have seen so far are the fialmonberry, Klickitat and Deschutes riven. You couldnt possibly dream of more charming mountain cascades. The Deschutes is a large river. From the railroad that follows its gorge, in places you look down hundreds of feet to the channel and see the wai thuhinB- furiously throus-h verbena half a dozen parallel grooves in the rock, vary deep and so narrow that It seems you could jump them. The water is a beautiful creamy blue and dashes white spray in every direction as It encounters the massive boulders in its rugged bed. Last week I drove up the Yaqulna : river valley from the ocean to its source. The 66 miles cost ma 926 auto hire, and I must confess that the scenery alone is worth double that i amount. It was simply entrancing! 1 The moss, the ferns, the wooded hills, 1 wild flowers of a size and richness 1 of color unbelievable the sparkling 1 Yaquina, dense forests, with its wild 1 creatures game of every kind Midi fish in abundance, 1 Some say the Columbia highway affords the choicest scenery. I do not agree. I believe the world's most fascinating scenery lies along tne railroad between Portland and Tilla mook, Oregon. I made that trip in April, and at the summit of the coast range large, fluffy flakes of snow were falling, screening the deep green forests with dots of white a beauty so thrilling that you just gaze at It breathless. A little further on the snow changes to a torrential rain. From the car window you are sur prised to see every drop of water that trickles down the mountain slopes, and through the canyons It la so clear that It sparkles, although It Is churned Into spray over and over. Perhaps you have heard of Oregon's wonderful climate. Every night wo sleep under wool blankets. No flies, no mosquitoes or other pests. No poisonous reptiles or Insects west of the Cascade range. The big bear are no thick in the forests that vou can buy bear meat at the markets, Just like beef. Not an uncommon sight to see bear swung up like hogs in the Texas markets. The sea and streams are black with wild dunk and water fowl. If the thermometer registers 76 or 80 the people think it's dread fully hot. Rains are welcomed here lust like you welcome the gulf breez es in July. They are so healthy and make you feel so good. When It be gins to rain you have a hearty appe tite. Haven't heart it thunder or seen any lightning since last October, the month I arrived. No storms or earthquakes here. No severe winters or torrid summers, 'Once every forty years the temperature will go to zero, as it did once last wintsr. No mal aria or typhoid fever here.
