(Continued from ?age- 8) in the "heat." They don't know what heat means, in that when you get to oregon everything is green, mountains, Seattle country. Mills and timber everywhere here. you valleys' every thing you see' rt is very beautiful in oregon drive through Everett and Bellingham and other famo.us and washington in summer' rt rains most of the time in sawmill towns going north to British corumbia. r forgot the winter and gets prettSr dreary to the visitor at that to mention flowers. you'u see more roses in the portland time' but in the summer it is gorgeous' God built the country than you ever dreamed of on earth. land mostly up and down-not flat-in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon is timbered country. There is timber almost all over the State, Fir, Flemlock, Cedar, Spruce, etc., in the Western portion, and Ponderosa Pine in the East. Big mills everywhere. Rivers everyrwhere. Mountains everywhere. Fine, wide, paved hiShways in every direction. The Columbia River, once the Oregon, is one of the most scenic streams in all the world. Words cannot describe it. Cliffs, waterfalls dashing over mountain sides, great trees everywhere. Resorts everywhere. Same way with Washington. Broad paved highways everywhere. Row after row of various mountain ranges looming up as you travel. From the roof of a high building in Portland you can see a sight that will pull at your throat. Peak after peak of white capped mountains, piercing the very skies. Mt. Hood, with its sharp pointed top; Mt. St. Helens, shaped like a perfect ice cream cone; Mt. Baker, high and white, and ponderous; and in the distance Mt. Rainier, the marvelous. The highways go up and down. There are orchards wherever there are not forests. Iti*r.
Ttris, up here, is cool summer country. There are resorts ever5rwhere. All the big mountains have their resort places. Every road to the Pacific leads to water resorts. Fruit grows in profusion in Washington and Oregon, marvelous fruit, apples you never saw the like of ; big, black cherries, each one which makes two big bites; plums and prunes by the mile. Seattle is built on high hills on the water's edge, and is a very, very cool place in summer. It used to tickle me when I'd visit in Seattle. The Sunday papers would advertise: "Take ttre steamer and get away from the heat." All sorts of such ads for resorts, etc. And I was playing golf in my heaviest wool clothes and sweater
British Columbia, meaning the two cities of Victoria and Vancouver, are charming and entrancing. They are built on the water; and the background is mighty mountains. Back of Vancouver are many wonderful mountain peaks. But Vancouver is covered with flowers. They are everywhere. So are sawmills and shingle mills. There are hotels, resorts, and hospitality offered on every hand. You can take gorgeous steamer rides throu(h that scenic country. At the Hotel Vancouver I remember, I saw for the first time one entire menu card with nothing but red raspberries and raspberry dishes on it. You could get raspberries in twenty different shapes and forms on that menu. I never forgot that menu card. Of course, that was long ago, and before I had discovered that the raspberry season in Los Angeles lasts six full months. When I was a kid, the raspberry season was about two weeks. Great wharfs, giant steamers,.huge trees are familiar sights in Vancouver. Once I saw a company of the Royal Mounts ed Police come down the street in Vancouver, every horse the same dark bay color, and in perfect formation. Strange sights in the mills. You will see dexterous Japs in the shingle mills; tall, dignified East Indians with turbans on their heads, working in sawmills.
How do you like the trip, so far?
