In my last letter, which I wrote you

ter from the Pacific coast and here it
Is from Portland, Ore, which is always
a beautiful city at this time of the
year. When 1 wrote from Helena 1

Next find myself once more at the
famous mining camp of Marysville,
Mont, and at this point 1 enjoyed a
very heavy snowstorm, and for the
first time in my life handled real snow
balls five days before the Fourth Of
July. Here l met our old friends as
well as some new ones made for the
Irish Standard, as follows: NJ Hurley,
7. J. Harrington, J. G. O'Brien, T. D.
Sullivan, Rev. John Follett, formerly
Of Anaconda, now stationed here, anu
Geo. Balkenhol Mike Lane, Chas. Leh-
mann, A. J. Hamilton, M. III. Tuohy.
The Deegans, LAWYERS. Sharps, Gull
lens, DuffyS, Cassidys and others
did not see here this time; they live too
high in the mountains and the snow
was too deep, so did not venture the
trip. l think you would have relished
q little of that snow back there recent
ly. J. p. Mcdonald, one of our best
friends there, l saw, but he was NOV
ing to Anaconda, and as usual he
treated me royalty.
Our next stop was at Missoula, but
Edward O'Bricn was there and no
doubt will make mention of that place.
MyneXtreal stopamong the people was
Mt Spokane, and q good stop it was for
myself and the Irish Standard, Spo-
kane is by far the incest and best west
ern city, to my notion; always clean,
growing steadily, fine buildings, fine
wide streets, and fine people; very
healthy and beautiful and very mucl,
up-to-date. Here l met ex-Shcriff
