long in this land to enjoy many
another like it.
One of the pleasures of the cool
early summer in Portland is that
of driving on the well-paved streets
OF upon the excellent roads lead
ing along the river, Or back upon
the hills lying west of the city.
To the pleasure incident to riding
behind fast horse on a hard, even
road, is added the constant pres
ence of beautiful landscapes,
glinpses, at times, of mountains,
shading of in the distance from
green to blue and purple, and cul-
minating III the snowy masses of
the Cascade SUBMITS. Along the
river to the southwark, and pass
irg Riyerview cemetery, one OF the
most beautifully located and care
fully tended homes of the dead in
America, is a most charming drive
several miles N length. It is
maintained in excellent condition
by the Multnomah Driving Asso-
citation, composed of gentlemen
owing fine roadsters, and in The
now rapidly Engineering evenings
IS crowded with buggies, carriages
horsemep ard BICYCLES. The word
"Multnornah" is a favorite one
here. 1t is the name Of the cour. "
in which Portland is situated, and
was the aboriginal title Of the
river flowing through the city, but
which now bears the same name
as the great yalley-Willamette-
through which it flows. Other
drives lead back between and up
on the hills, and in the particular
that they open up to view grander
scenes and more extensive land
scapes, are Of greater attraction.
One in particular, leading to an
elevation known as portland
Heights" a beautiful residence
place soon to be brought into easy
access by cable cars, should not
be neglected. From the brow of
this verdant hill is presented a
landscape the equal of which I am
confident, cannot be found near
any other city on the continent.
With the winding Willamette and
the tree-embowered city for the
foreground, the rolling hills and
valleys, clad in the green raiment
Of forest and field in the middle
distance, while the extreme dis
lance is filled up with the varying
tints of The nearer and more re-
mote mountains, above which rise
the white crowns of five great
peaks covered with the SHOWS of
eternal winter, the picture is one
of grand and impressive beauty.
Especially at sunset does it evoke
the deepest admiration, as the rich
tints Of gold, crimson and purple
move gradually upward, finally
resting for few moments solely
upon the snowy peaks before
fading into the gray of twilight
If you were here to see and feel
what find it impossible adequate
ly to describe, you would agree
with me that Portland is one of the
most charming places of residence
in the Union. L. S.
