that unholy hour of the light. So I
passed several hours walking the
streets of Portland from end to end.
That was not so far then« as Port­
land had about 8000 inhabitants.
This trip I made several times and
utterly worn out and dead for want
of sleep, I finally sat down on the
steps of the old Harrison school
building and instantly was sound
asleep. Now for the incident "de­
hors the record.” While asleep I
dreamed I was in the Nehalem val­
ley and that a big bear was stand­
ing in front of me anointing my head
with his saliva preparatory to swal­
lowing me whole, a la anaconda.
This dream was repeated over and
over again. Finally just as dawn was
breaking, I awoke and saw, or
thought I saw, a large dark object
standing by me. my mind on the
border land between the known and
the unknown, and only partially con­
scious, I seemed to say to myself "I
am too tired to care, so swallow
away old bear, and be done with it";
and off to sound sleep again. The
dream was repeated over and over
again as before. At last I awoke
and there standing in front of me.
it being good day light now, was a
full grown buck deer, licking my
face, evidently for salt with which
it was incrusted. I moved,and he,
with a snort, threw up his head and
bounded for the canyon to the south
which then was all trees and brush
and I have never again seen him.
