A gehoonna'am. @ N
Among the mass of correspondence re-
ceived by Capt. Fisk, by the last eastern
mail, was the following letter from Yam
kee schoolma'am to emigrate to Montana.
This is one of q number of somewhat SIM
liar letters received during the past few
weeks, illustrating the enterprise of Yam
kee women, the fearlessness with which
they undertake great missions, and the So
Der earnestness with which they discuss
even a journey across the continent to sup
ply the educational wants of a people
growing to powerful communities among
the mountains. Suppressing the name Of
the writer, it is trusted confidence is not
broken by giving to the public this charac-
teristic document:

Letter from Nj. Hood.

SUMMIT OF MI Hoop, Aug. 20, 1866
Ed. STATESMAN I'VE are now sitting upon
the summit of Mount Hood. We have found
the ascent difficult and hazardous. This is the
third time have assembled the mountain, but
1never before had the difficulty that We have
experienced this time. Our party consists of
Prof. A. Wood, C. H. Atkinson, D. D., G. II;
Atkinson, Jr., j. E. Higgins, D. D. Clark, and
the writer. .A
Government Praire we found to be 1000 feet
high. Highest point where trees grow, s4oo
feet; highest point of vegetation, 1900 feet q;
height of the mountain, II, 600 feet.
These measurements we think are aceuratei
as we used great care in taking them. We have
barometer with us, but have taken our meas
uremeuts principally with the thermometer and
boiling water.
The mountain has changed materially on the
south side, since last ascended it, eight years
ago Ono large ridge that we then crossed has
been broken and carried down by the glaciers
and avalsnehcs- Smoke and steam are still is,
suing from. the mountain.
Prof Wood finds the fora Of the mountain to
be very interesting, containing over thirty spe-
cies peculiar to the mountain, many of which
are undoubtedly new. Interesting geological
examinati cns were made by the party.
Yours, ]. G. DEARDoRFF.
