K.XAMiNKR, Ijtkeview, Oregon: Well,
boys, I have been having a jolly good
time of it ' back Itere in the States."
We vibited tho Luray Caverns, and 1
think it one of the greatest wonders of
thu world. The pliue is tilled with im
age of Htuluctilic formation. Saw the
Hutter Milk Falls, the Fit)) Market, the
Maiden' Veil, ami heard the great pipe
organ and cathedral bells whiih make
the hweeteft of intlhic. I bought a tew
hpfciiiifiiH or hotivenirs from the guide,
but they hell them ''out of eight," and
I didn't feel able to buy the cave and
then attend the Inauguration.
We went to Wit-dumMon on the ml of
March, timi thcie we found the hirgeht
citiwil of people w e ever guzctl upon. A
million people wu the ct-timute of home
who pretended to make a guff. I
cuntcd lifleeii brills baiuU in the pur
itde mul come of them unlet have had
I'll I int 1 uitieiit j one biiiitl luttl tifteen
leuor drum.
We ulhii vihitetl Mount Veriuui, a betin
tiful pliicu mid grunJly kept. Mount
Veriuui is hixteen mile from WtiHhiug
toii, acroHg the rotoinac ltiver. We
went over on thu Charles McAlinter, a
tine boat of 2,IXK) capacity, ami we had
l.TiOO ptiHhL'ugers aboaril; it was a jolly
crowd.
We expect to ntiu t West in two weeks.
I mn afraid to stay here luucli'longer for
fear of lie. oiiiing alllictud w ith the gout.
1 hpcnli pi'i'.numlly, ith ' 1 believo Mrs.
Haw kin is mi htrtick w ith this country
thpt it will be lulu! work to get her to
leave it. I found thu country quite
natural and familar, and many of my
old friends I knew as soon as I met
them. Of course, twenty-three, years
mukes many changes in pliicc as well
an fat. I have not viite! any ol the
old battlefleltlg yet, but think I will go
there aoon. Kind rryardn lo all Ijtke
county friends, Yourn truly,
