tsing, but by the true merits of the water alone
The proprietor is not cn,lrav0rin;, Ia make il /,
source o proiit pccIIniarily, but invites the af-
nlctcd everywhere to come and profit by il with
out money and without price, and the good ei-
frcts produced seem TO be sufficient reInuncrl-
ton 10 satisfy him.
'Cnclc Henry. ''as he is called by everybody
Is large hearted, jovial German, about seventy
years of a9:c, and aside t!oIa the water, is the
principal attraction, for no one will he long in
his presence without cWoyins many hearty
laugh at his teutonic wit, with which he is
abuncantly blessed. Uncle Henry is II very
hearty, robust old gentleman, and will walk
fifteen or twenty miles on the hottest day with
OUT apparently being the least bit tired; hc
drinks cOpiously of the water, and this may ar-
count for his great strength and health. He
talks much of the great medical properties of the
Wafer and the effects produced by it; and it is
truly astonishing to hear him tell of the many
cures that have been effected ~ it since its dis
corcry, which are corrObOrated by hundreds of
living witnesses To effect cure il is generally
necessary 10 remain from one To t1o months
but Il lsrs1n Will experience considerable
change for tive better in two or thr,r DAYS The
elect seems almost instantaneous.
THE ACCOMMODATIONS
are limited, but the proprietor boartls rs many
is he can at the low rate of three dollars per
week. The camping facilities are good, as
there is grove ot timber surrounding the foun-
tain and Uncle Henry permits all who desir. 10
camp there, Ike his IRE word for camping par
poses and pastures their teams i'll his extensive
iIlciuoWs Tree OF charge: there Is constantly u
good number camping. there.
The country around Is picturesque and beauti-
ful and could be made very attractive: aud il
the accommodations were sufficient it would soon
be one of the most popular watering places in
the country, and could be made very paying
institution. That which is most needed Is a
boarding house and bathing rooRs sufficient to
accommodate several hundred people.
We hal n very pleasant visit AMI our health
was much improved in the short time business
would premit us to reIanin there. Quite "A num-
Der OF boarierS and campers, several Of whom
were from this county, were there. While in
Mound City, a beautiful and growing little
town two miles from the fountain, We met sever
al acquaIntances, among whom We're Mr.. Bow
man and Mr.. l.. Il. Knowles. MIR. Bowman has
Just started u new paper, the MoundCiiy spy, in
Mound City, which is very neat paper, and
Mr.. Bowman Will doubtless do much for his
town and county Mr.. Knowles WIS formerly
u resident of this city AMI studied law with
Judge Kelley, our present Circuit Judge, and
was licensed by the Judge 10 practise law;
and he is now practicing his profession
IN Mound City. He is an hsnest your.s, man and
seems to be making his profession sucress.
Considerable talk is had in favor of removing
the county seat from Oregon TO Mound City,
which latter place is claimed to he more c"n-
tral location; and the question will doubtless
have To be settled at no very distant day by di-
rect vote of the people.
For fear my letter may be- already too long, /
viii close. Yours respectfully, LEN.
