itself, beginning at Buxton, and
ending in the Nehalem Valley, ia
about 40 miles. The inspiring sub
limity which pervaded the moun
tains as they loomed up ’round
about, begins to wane, and soon
gives place to more subdued scenes.
Mountains and high hills, however,
still continue to the ocean.
In a quarter-mile from the camp
is the eleventh tunnel, and tunnel
“12*’ a mile from tunnel “11 marks
the last of the tunnels through the
mountain stretch of the road. The
next tunnel, the thirteenth and last
one on the line, is at Hobsonville,
on Tillamook Bay, 37 miles away.
It is a rather pretty rock juttingout
at a nose-like taper into the stream,
a clump of trees on its tip, that is
pierced by tunnel “12.“ These last
two tunnels are, like some of the
proceeding ones, through solid
rock, with no supporting timbers
on the interior, except at the ends,
to hold up the thin veneer of soil
covering the surface.
Coast Vegetation Appears.
Upon emerging from this tunnel,
which is near mile-pcst 36, a de
cided change in the character of
the country becomes apparent. All
things grow suggestive of the coast
region. There is a heavy dampness
in the ground, and the thick shrub
bery and leafy trees peculiar to the
coast, the salmon and elderberry
bushes, the alder tree and kindred
growths begin to appear. The can-
yon, too, becomes for a time lees
pronounced, and the hills, whose
sides have all this while been rising
abruptly on the verge of the track
begin to bear away and for the first
time in many miles the eye is off-
ered the sight of practically level
land. Near mile-post 47 the Salmon-
berry is ciossed for the seventh
time. The bridge here is the big-
gest of the bridges across this river.
After crossing, the track follows
the right bank of the river.
The hills are not covered with a
heavy stand of timber, but bear a
growth of brush and shrubbery,
particularly salal, and other berries
which make them the favorite
haunts of bears. Big snags and
fallen logs give evidence of forest
fire ravages, and rocky ridges
along their sides and bald rock
projections at their summits are
seen.
They present themselves
quite near, and in mighty outline,
and are the first that are viewed in
full and at such close range. The
timber, however.does not disappear,
but stands thickly in the canyons,
and in irregular patches on the
mountains, and when the Nehalem
Valley is approached, rises in lux
The
urious growth once more,
road breaks away from the brow
of the hills and traverses the crest
of long elevated ridges and over
fills of close-packed rocks across
the

stretches
beside the river’s bank. Some
times a curve describes a perfect
“S.” In places where the confines
of the river dwindle tnto low bot
toms and marshes, these fills con
stitute artificial banks. Heavy “rip
rap,” rocks closely fitted so as to
present an even surface on the
sloping sides of the fills, act as
breakwaters, preventing the action
of the water, when the river is swol
len, from undermining the fills,
and keeping the water in a more
defined course. In other places
the banks rise steep again, and the
steel runs once more on the moun
tain sides, through high cuts of
stone and earth.
In common with the otherthings.
the river has changed its character
too. In the beginning a small and
sprightly stream, frolicking and
gamboling along its course in the
effervescent gladness of youth, it
is now a broad and placid river,
moving with a stately dignity, born
of the tempering ways of time.
