SEES WONDERS
IN THE WEST.
Dr. TUwell DwitjhtHillis of Brooklyn
describes bis vocation in the West as
follow in an interview with a represen
tative of the CongregationaliHt of Bos
ton: The scenic wonders of our own Rock
ies, of California, WMblogtoa and Alas
ka, seem to me uniane and unapproach
able. Incidentally it is a land where
aizA in evarvthins compels a readjust
ment of one's Mess. A mountain in
Alan, rising 9UU0 feet out of the sea,
reduces the Swiss mountains to foot
hills. The Grand I'anyoa ol Ansona,
7000 feet deep and 20 miles across, with
one side lestoonea wiin a miuum ram
how, makes the ther valleys seem
contemptible, while the cathedral built
of layer of arbl standing 1st tii
center of the canyon, ten milt around
at the base, and with its final tower 20
timet as big a tne aume m co
logne and far more beautiful, reduce
the 8t. Fetor's to the dimensions of a
mole hill. , ,
In California, evaa the vegetation is
on the tame scale. Near Santa Barbara
it a grapevene 54 inches in circumfer
ence that produces by weight ten tons
of grapes. Up at Btockton one is shown
a potato ranch of several thousand
acres, that required for the removing of
it crops seven carload a day for 885
day. Up in Oregon i the Hood River
country, in the Beart 4 Porter orchard.
I taw a young awla tree nine years old
that produoud 18 boxes of apple, each
one of which aoW ior 2.M a tw. Ia
WasiiigtoK,ii tfcecdge at the forest ,m
a cedar teee,lyinf prostrate. On top of
tUeUrmmitktoaUifmwkattmt it and
Mrnmid iL ia a Ar live feat in diawetar ;
and the stump of the Ar atow 2SO0
rings, showing that thia 4 cedar, en
top of which tne nr grew, weni uuwu
about th time Socrates drank the cup
of poison; and the heart of that cedar
hows purple red yet.
Down in Pasadena I found things
till mora wonderful living men. A
banker there told me there were U'i
millionaires and 80 millionairesses liv
ing in that garde) f beauty nd cukete
and wealth and delight. If all rich
men and women join Uives, thaw are
more men and women who have start
ed for that trooic clime here than in any
other rsuion on earth. Nvetthak,
these people in Pasadena and La An
geles represent the very best form of
manhood and delightful Christian wo
manhood. Indeed. I was so enaiianted
with Pasadena and Lot Angeles, that it
seems to me a perilous thing for any
man who lives in New York or Boston
to spend a month in that region. Any
man who has lived on ambrosia and the
nectar of the godt for four weekt will
find it difficult ever afterwards to be
py on corn bread and bacon, not to
sav beans.
The one outstanding characteristic is
their opLunsuuikau-itaeyaucyaad hope
fulness, their energy, UMisiaaai, tneir
confidence in their country and itd re
sources. Givaa aiamiiy of half a dos
en ton in the East, and the strong
and anrgetiaM wtHna far, impelled
by hi ambition. The people the
Pacific slope eepremM picked bmnb and
women. Witness their newspapers iu
Lot Angeles and Han FranckMW, an Port
land aud Heattta. Witswsi the wonderful
growth of their universities and oIleKen I
Witness the growth of their charche
out of 30 Methodist churaha ia Lm
Angele I think fully 15 haw grew, up
in lb iaat six year utxUr ituhop Ham
ilton. There h aty&lnK in tha climate
that makes ior art, aud beauty and lit
erature.. Thwre hum -point In Pasade
na where it hi all but impossible not to
believe thut-an is But In Florence the
tame hills and mountains encircling the
city, the same intense blue sky, the
same rich luxuriant vegetation, colors
of crimson and orange and purple and
gold and olive, laid a ia rich profusion. '
Confessedly, 1 am an enthusiast on the
Pacific slope. The lite has gone to any
head. The reteuaces ( the peat North
west hav scarcely tain touched. They
have fruit enough to feed the world, oil
enough to light U, grain enough to tup
pott, lumber enough to bouse it, wool
enough to clothe it ; auch wonders in
valley and mountain, in land and sea
and tkv as would keep the artists of the
world busy for a century.
To stand on the step of the hotel
Washington at Heattla and took down at
that wonderful uaroor, or in tne omur
direction upon the fresh water fake be
hind the city, to look out upon the snow
capped range that rises to the wast, ap
parently right out of the sea, or to the
east toward the great mountain, rising
14,000 feet out out of the forest, and
and covered with snow, dnaJd aow
in amethyst, aud aow in oe en lor, aud
now in tender turquoise well, all I
have to aay it this: whea gold was dis
covered in Cftliloruia, 60,000 men rushed
over the Kocky mouutaln and around
the cape within a single year. If the
people on the Atlantic slope had any
conception of the undeveloped resources
. i i. . A ttrui........
ui vaiuuriiitt. vrrauii mm nauiiigvuii,
there would be aaillkiss people cross
the Rocky mountain within the next
five year.
In Oregon I went iota the peach
country, and to the apple eoantry at
iioou luvcr, auu saw amua au ur u or
chards, and tried to master every detail
from the plMting and (raftiug and
and apraf kit t the new varieties. Then
I wentiuta tit fureM at fir and pine
and oedar, aatt saw the lumber
floated in tlie rier,drawn by oxen and
and berea, carried ia Iuim, drawa by
little dummy uglae, and at last taw a
log carried oa a steel cable 1000 feet
above tb earth iroia ie aide of the
mountain aorea a Ux ethei ; the I :
watched the tng Jvarawy oa to the taw
mill, until it was landed la a aar, ready
for tii Chioaw4 Kew York market. 1
One ol the uo interesting industries
that I had a chance to study waa the
salmon industry. frYom Portland I
went down to Astoria, a handled nulat
away, and saw the flahcMtaa gaout far
the salmon ; saw the butt ceanittf In
loaded down with their living caraojind
watched the great fish pat through 40
hands until alth ether end of the can
nery the tax, ailed with 101 can of sal
mon that was cooked, teaaoaed aad
ready for serving.
Twenty year age I waa in Colorado
and Yoniing and Idaho and Montana.
At that tiaia 1 drove 1009 mile over
Wyoming, 4ireeae River to Fort
Washikeeand back again, from Fort
Hteel through to the extreme aouthera
liue and back, from Laramie City into
South Park, and 10 year ago I taw
most of Colorado as well. Certain val
leys, 24 year ago, were tage brush, not
worth a peiuiy an acre. What was my
surprise, therefor, to tfad that water
had been led dowa ul 01 tne mountain,
and I found these valleys covered with
clover and alfalfa, waving with wheat
and oats, with herd of horses and cat
tle in field so rich that th horses
teemed to sue up to their kneet ia clo
ver.
Best of all Wat the splendid farm
house that had sprung up, turroonded
bv oeach orchard and aiple and plum
and cherry tree, tot to mention the
, cantaloupe ouiitry, dawn near Kocky
Ford, Outorado, and the sugar beet
land in tba Arkmnaa valley. For the
land that were worth tea oeuta an acre
when I wa a boy and first began to
spend mv vacations in the Rocky moun
tamtam worth a hundred dollar an
acre, now that the irrigation ditch has
brought the water in. One half of Italy
represents irrigated land ; Koine was
supported by wheat that was grown by
irrigation. For forty centuries Kgypt
and her civilization has been supported
by irrigation. There are regions of
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado
and Utah, Arizona and Nevada, that
would be ranked among the Harden
spota of the world and will in another
score of years. o man understands
what is going on in this country until
he goes Weft and studies at nrst nana
the work being done by this commission
on irrigation.
The most interesting thing What
shall I tav of Victoria and Vancouver,
with their great present and future
What shall I say ol the Canadian Rock
ies, where from one peak I counted
34 snow-clnd peaks and 22 glaciers?
What shall I say of Winnipeg, that has
leaped to the third among the cities of
Canada, with bank clearings, surpassed
only by Montreal and Toronto? We
have been thinking that viniiitfg rep
resents the realm of iierpitiul mow,
and that Mod served Canadu, as we
erve watermelon, on ic. But vou may
travel 700 miles north weft of Winnipeg,
and the grass grows richer and the mil
deeper, for the Chinook, the Japanese
trade wind, coming over the low moun
tain pass, take the chill out of the air.
Today, tliousands and thousands of
immigrants are crowding into the new
provinces of Canada.
All I can say is, next summer when
you buy your ticket to start for F.uropc,
don't. Buy your ticket and start for
Colorado and make the circle of a thous
and mile, beginning at Colorado
njMrjng and returning, viriting all the
mining camps; go to Cripple Creek, for
example, where I sient two of the most
fascinating days of mv life visiting the
military court and the deported men,
union miner, the non-union mm, etc. ;
then no to the Urand Cation of the Col
orado; tee Los Angeles, Hanta Barbara,
that marvelous memorial church at
Htanford University; see Han Francisco,
Mr. Burbunk, the magician of ttie orch
ards, one of the most wonderful men
aow living; see the Yosemite; visit the
tamljeramp, llie ranches ol lregon.
the Ashland peach region, the Hood
River apple country, the salmon Indus
try, the lumber mills; go to Heattle and
Tacoma, Victoria and Vancouver and
Alaska, and then eome back by way of
the Canadian Rockies; put In two
weeks there amidst the mountain peaks
and the ulaciers ; then take a horse and
drive Uw sis day through the greatest
cattle ranches in the world and another
six days through 500 mile of wheat
rlehls, every bm-hei ol which is "Num
ber One Hard," the only standard
wheat of the world.
By the time you get home your horis
ons will all be smashed. Boston will
seem about a big a the dome of the
tate house, and you will be afraid to
play golf in Massachusetts for fear of
driving out tif bounds. You will also
know what patriotism is, for the people
of the West and of the Pacific slope
don't talk their country down; have
never heard of pessimism; have no fear
for the republic. The flume of patriot
ism in the West burns like a calcium
light. That is one reason why many of
.t . it... -.il, ... .lL .
me men mai win control mis country
a generation from now are coming from
the hoys who are now dwelling in soli
tude In the Kocky mountain states or
on the I'acinc coast.
FAMOUS WILLOW
FLAT COUNTRY
J. A. Knox has over 100 acres at the
turn of the road going up into the upper
valley ana sun does most of the local
btacktmithing at the ehop on his farm.
He has less than 25 acres cleared, about
five acres of which is in apples, the bal
ance in hay and pasture. tiis work in the
shop has not given him time to improve
liis place as much as ho would like.
V . C. Dodge, J. Q. Carnahaa aud A.
T. Dodge have places on the slope, and
are making steady improvements.
unmenew road connecting Dukes
Valley with the Mount Hood settlement
are located the farms of N. C. Htutts
and Charles A. Htutts. They have nice
homes built, have small orchards set
out, and are raising hay berries and gar
den truck. Considerable more oleanug
will be done this winter.
Na on section of the valley bas come
to the front more rapidly than Willow
Flat. Lying upon what may be called
the tecond bench, at an altitude of a
la tie over 1000 feet, nine miles from the
city, it is nicely situated about half way
between the upper and lower valleys.
The oil Is a yellow silt, with a sprink
ling of shot gravel in places. It needs
mora irrigation man me wiute ciay lanu
bnt does not puck down or bake in the
inn, being very easily cultivated, and
and always keens loose and moist.
The Booth place, one of the oldest
homesteads in the valley, attracted at
tention to this section on acconntof the
fine quality of (rait rained. Only about
eight acres have been cleared up on
the place, but it it all in orchard, and It
always to be depended upon for first-
quality fruit.
Noah Bone ws also one of the -arlv
settlers on the fl ft, and ha nearly ttO
acre in cultivation, so oi wuicii are in
orchard, aad 20 in hay.
H. F. Davidson was attracted to tlie
fist a few years ago, aud hss vhmfed no
tha largast part of his CO acres. He
has a fine peach orchard three vears old.
and the balance of the cluaring is set to
apples and berries.
U. f . Iielieu has 20 acres, partly im
proved, A. J. 'avidson, 13, and Nets O.
Hitgan 20.
U. L. Davidson has set out an orchard
of 14 acres, and has also five acres in
strawberries, from which he got very
sausiactory returns.
vJ. K. itoiie has only nve acres left in.
Willow Flat, on which he has his sum
mer home,tnaking it a convenient head
quarters from which to look after his
ditch and numerous other interests. He
recently told 1(H) acres to the Hood
Kiver Orchard Co., with which he is
also connected, the Van Horn interests
having a large block of stock. This
tract will be nearly all cleared up this
winter and it is planned to have at least
SO acres in orchard in the sprint;. It is
probable that about 50 acres will be
kept for hay land and other crops.
Mogers & to., have 4i acres, la of
which is now in apples, and the balance
will be cleared as soon as possible.
C W. Murphv is tlowlv clearing nn
hi farm of 75 acres, and has very good
prospect
F. A. Musses has one of the comfort
able homes in the Hat, his place adjoin
ing the Davidson ranch and command
ing a very fine view. He is clearing
land steadily, having seven acres already
in orchard, and wil, set out about three
teres to peaches and cherries ui the
tprmg.
Dukes Valley adjoins Willow Flat on
the west, most of the farms Ivimr nn
the flat and extending part way up the
ranter steep slope oi the ridge that rises
up on the east Imnk of the river.
The largest place is owned hv J. P.
Thomwen of The Dalles, consisting of
am acre, i ins is strictly a hay ranch,
there being about 7i acres in clover.
F. L. Maasey has a fine place located
partly in tne vaiiep, with a level bench
extending up on Willow Flat, on which
he haa-aet out a one orenara of id acres.
The trees had a verr few apples on this
year, and next year may bear enough to
make a small shipment to market
While he it waiting for hit orchard to
bear, he is making a good living on tlx
acres of berries and SO acre of hay.
J. K. I Hid son has about the oldest
place in Dukes Valley, having lived there
16 vear. There are about nineacres in
orchard and eight in hay. They have
seen all the improvement in that sec
tion, and can look back but a few years
when the wild game was very plentiful
about the place.

The old name for the city of London
wa Lynden or Myndea, meaning "the

New Troy or Troynorant. In the time
of Lud ft waj aurronnded by a wall
and was then known a Lud' Town,
or Ctcr-Lud. This latter I probably
the correct version of th origin of the
name of Loudon If for ne other rea
son because It 1 inch an aaay matter
to detect a Im'lUrlty between the ex
pression London and Lud' Town. It
is claimed by tome writers that there
wat a city on the present site of Lon
