through the vein. Sixty tons of ore
i'rom this property were milled at

Tho last time 1 wrote I left off on
my arrival at Oregon City, where 1
had gone lb get out of tho Jam that
1 found in Portland. Returning tho
next morning to the City of Hones, l
found that the Immense throng had
subsided to a certain extent. On my
arrival In the city I repaired to the
First ConKregatlona'l church on Park
8treol and all along the route large
ureas ot seats were to bo seen where
the vast crowds had been dented to
see the various processions of the
previous day of tho rose carnival;
but when 1 reached the church I was
surprised to find so many represen
tative men and women assembled,
and especially on Saturday. There
woro men and womeil there from al
most every state In the Union, as
well as many from the orient, India,
Australia and Europe, that had come
to take part In the Congregational
Pacific Coast congress, and among
them many of the leading men and
women of. not only tho Congrega
tional church, but representatives ot
other churches. During the six days
continuance ot the congress the va
rious Interests of the church were
discussed, and some ot tho best tal
ent of the country was" displayed, and
one native preacher from India gave
us an Interesting account of his work
In his native land. Dut I did not In
tend to take up the time of the read
ers of Eaglets In going over an ac
count or our church affairs, although
It may be of Interest to many ot
them, but Intended td try to tell
something or what I saw and heard
In the City of Itoses.
It has been 19 months since I was
hero before, and for me to say that
Portland has. grdwn does not cover
the ground, for since that time Port
land has absorbed (I guess that Is the
right word) probably half as niany
In numbers as there Is In Jackson
county not speaking disparagingly
or my own county, but When you
count the Inhabitants of St. Johns.
Alberta, Flrland, etc., you win see
that the city has Increased In num
bers to a great extent and, whllo it
has Increased In numbers by taking
In new territory, in the main or old
part or the city they have made vast
improvements in almost every re
spect. In my rambling over the city' I
was somewhat handicapped by the
fogs and dense atmosphere, which
prevented me from Seeing as much as
I would liked to have seen. For In
stance, the day I went up on Council
Crest, in the morning when I left
Flrland the atmosphere was clear and
t thought that I would have a fine
view d! the city. Vancouvor, Mt. Hood,
Mt. Adams, the Columbia river and
tho country between them and the
cdasu By tho ttmo I arrived the
haze had settled down and I could
hardly see across the city.
Portland now extends trom near
Mllwaukle on tho south and includes
to St. Johns on tho north, a distance
of about 16 miles, and' from Cduncll
Crest on tho west to Flrland on tho
east, a distance of about 12 miles, as
near as I could judge. And only
think or a man riding from either or
tho extremes to tho other In a nice,
clean street car ror a nickel.
While" at Flrland I had tho pleasure
or visiting our old Jackson county
neighbors, J. E. Stepp and ramlly,
John and Rudoir Isell, and their fam
ilies. They are the men who owned
and operated the Roundtop sawmill
that was burned down two years ago
last summer, and are still reading
tho Mall Tribune and have lumber
holdings near tho old mill site.
I also met quite a number or old
time friends from different parts or
tho country.
But here I am, almost at tho close
or my letter, and have said but little
about tho beauties and mtenlal Im
provements ot Portland. First I wish
to speak or tho care that Is exhibit
ed to beautify the city with roses.
It Is surely properly named when It
is called the City of Roses, for you
can go nowhere without coming In
contact with thorn In some form or
other. Every little yard, bo It over
so small, has a portion set apart for
roses, and not only tho quantity but
also tho quality, for thero are some
or tho largest and iriost 'rragrant but
most beautiful that the world can
produce are to bb found In Portland.
In addition to the roses th&ro Is also
almost every kind of shrubbery that
can be found that will live In this
cllinato. "Tho pCdpie or Portland also
