I look to my lelt and be- hold solid rock rising maiiy feet above tbe ti-ack an the other side water can be seen hundi-eda of feet below, and we imagine wo are going right over the brink at every turn. The scenery is al- most subliMe yet teiTible. The road clings to the mountain side and the river below, though large, looks like a little stream. The grandest moun- tains in the world stretehes out to the north, and on the left can be seen the head of Mt. Stephen, 800 feet above the valley. Cathedral Mt. with its highly colored spires, lighted up by the sun, seems to rise like flame shooting into the sky. Mt. McDoaald. towers a mile and a quarter above the road, from which its base is but a stone's throw. One is overawed by its mighty size. Hermit and McDonald mountains are believed to have been atone time united, but, by some con-' vulsi^n of nature, have been separated, leaving barely room for the road between them.

I took the boat from Van. down through the straits on the salt water; we got caught in a storm the wind was blowing a hurricane every passenger on board was sea sick. I was standing looking through the window watching the waves wash tne windows and wishing I was nome again, when the people took it into then- heads to ii!ace their dinners into the spitoons. That started me. Talkvabout the measels, mumps, blues, etc., but sea sickness â€" oh my 1 eyerything went. I was not hke Annias and Sophia, I kept back nothing, and I was well pleased to set foot on terra Jirma ouoe again. I took the train at Portland, Dregou, for Corvallis, when my ;rip was ended after travelling /i.SOU miles from ifarkdale. Everything is turund around; beautiful weather the grass a foot long flowers growing iu all directions crops well on the way. 1 met my brother Fred, who has been iu this State for ten years. He run's a large ranch ten miles from Corvallis, and he is inclined to pity any one who is unfortunate enough to liyc in Canada. 1 have settled iu CorvaUis, and I am doing well, with food prospects for the future.
