The rood from R; ading to Roseburg is
one of the most picturesque in America,
we may say the world, for we have seen
no other railway so tong through a
country so whplly--beantiful. The scen
ery of the Denver and Rio Grande, and
here and there a bit upon the Sierra is
more startling and sensational, higher
elevat'ons of rocks, scenery more abrupt,
but for sustained and varying beauty,
mountains, valleys, farms, fields, forests
and streams, great mountains, grand
rivers, we recall nothing comparable
with the trip we .have recently taken.
Our own Mount Shasta, with the snow
covered Buttes of the Lassen, Mounts
"Hood, Rainier, St. Helene, Baker, Jef-
feraon, and Adams together form a group
not exceeded for beauty and grandeur
elsewhere in the world. There are a
hundred miles of forest lying along the
upper Bacrainento, and thence to the
summit ol tlie Siskiyou mountain, that
by some «»-operation between congress
and the railroad company, should be
preserved as a national park. The saw
mill is already doing its devilish work in
demolishing the beauty of the forests.

the pulpit and platform, on which gifts
had been placed of various sires, hues
and brilliancy, which must have exceed
