I cloned my former letter with 'a P. S. saying it was cold hero. At r iVreka wc met jiorth bound people ! from f rldly who told us the ! weather had been very hot iu tho j Sacramento valley, but a cool wave was on Just then. So If we moved 'right along we might get thru the j valley while It was pleasant. That i was why we made little delay, ex- " cept to rest and to put Lizzie In a ! good humor but the further we i went the more "pleasant" the iweaibcr became, if it was gaugMl : t by a falling thermometer. Hy Sat t unlay a high wind blowing on our ; right beam, as a sailor would say, ! made It so very "pleasant" that my wife put on my winter overcoat j land wrapped her legs In a woolen blanket. As I said before, we t camped over Sabbath at Mt. Her- tnon. There all the cottages hung on the hillsides and In the trees much like bird's nests, and tho j ;very small space available for tents ialso had a sharp slant and had no j provision for fires. When we ar- . 1 rived hero on Monday at an cleva- : tion of a thousand feet tho "pleasantness" increased. Hut hr 1 the camp site is flat with place for fire at each tent and dry wood Jttf ,-, j be had for the getting, or could be ; purchased. , I Wo set our tent here, for tlio first time, without attaching to the car, and as soon as dinner was , i done, which we cooked on our gas stove, we drove out possibly half a ,( mile and got wood. Wc started a fire and have kept it going almost . constantly ever since until today. -t And as I write this evening It Is going again. This morning at 7:00 o'clock a big thermometer at tho . warden's office read fit degreoM, i so you may understand Why wo have crawled In bed Loid. , When wo arrived hero I was ;i wearing a straw hat. Kor the pre vious two or throo days I had seen, i none. So you may imagine my dc- '. tight when, that same day, a car drove up and made camp Just next, r to us and the driver was wearing a Panama. I was feeling about as conspicuous as a man would feel t the stove-pipe variety. Ho 1 soon , went over and grasped his hand expressing my p lcu.su ro to see- him or rather his flat. Ho told how it kept stretching, and showed nij the IiIjt roll of newspaper he had :' put under the sweathand to koeji It from iroliiff down over bin ears, but I assured him on my word of 1 honor as a ftcntlrman and a travel- j er that it was tho very flneat hat I had over seen. ;.. In my last T made some refer- i euco to dum situs, and I said our tent la closo by one. Well tlthf-. dam makes a sizeable pool, and In spite of the cold weuther at almost any hour of the day there are sluhts there. My wife declares they urc damn sights, and If I don't stay away she win put'u.rn ders on me. Hut I tell her there Is only one and It's a dam site, and t am merely trying to figure, out why those girls don't freeze, to death. '.' " MT. HERMON. Aug. 3. The' foregoing letter got laid aaldo and . almost forgotten, but all I said about tho cold has continued truo ; until the last 10 days. Ve came over here the first, but until our last day at Jtcdwood park wo hug god the flro every night and gen-"1 erally with our winter wraps, on. Wo have read in tho Mail Tribune ' about your excessive heat wav In "' Oregon, and a man lately told mc ' liw the heat In the Kan Joaquin ' valley melted the beads on his wife's neck: so perhaps it will . t make you feel cooler to thing of us ', hugging the fire to keop warm.;' When wo would go to the bowl for;" the evening entertainment wo would get so close to the big fire,,' of rails It would seem It ought to' melt the soddor off a Mu"cau, hut It wot:b? make us Just about Com- . fortable. f Now for a bit of philosophy. Wo.' aro told that when wo burn a piece of wood wo arc liberating heat' ' which waa stolen out of the sun-' beams by the tree from which tho'.' wood was taken. If that Is true, when tho treos are 300 feet tall one of them Is said to 330 feet- f and grows Very dense, how much , hest could there be left after the "' sunbeams have passed thru 'auch a mass cf follage.
