WRITTEN FOR THE BEE.

IWRITTEN FOR THE BEL As the dandeliOn balls of snow Mix with She wayside grass. As the winds of heaven that blow, So shall the poets fancy pass. And the world shall forever sing And the poets hear the chime And the bells Tn the belfry ring And the lovers welded in time. Joy shall ever follow the rain And dry up the wells of sACpOw, While to meet with loves smile again Is the dream of tomorrow. We will wander as the wild flocks go Beneath the dropping branch. Or in the foam of the mountain snow Track the wild avalanche. And the poet of the deep dark wood In the inspiration of the hour Will bestow thousand things for good By his invisible power.

Will Visit Us.

On May nth there is to be an
excursion through the William
cite Valley for the benefit of
Portlanders. Few people of the
metropolis have had an opportu-
nifty of seeing this beautiful val-
lev and beyond doubt the excur-
sion will be largely attended.
The valley at this season of the
wear should be at the height of
its glory and a ride of a couple of
hundred miles through it will be
like a glimpse of Paradise.
The train will leave Portland,
under the auspices of the Past
Sachems' Association, at s o.
clock in the morning, and run
up the East Side to Albany, and
after a stop Of an hour or two
will proceed over the c.. & E. to
Corvallis. A stop of sufficient
duration will be made in this
city for the pleasure-seekers to
enjoy jaunt about the city and
view the o A c grounds.
Few people have seen this
part of the Willamette valley
and all will want to see it, it be-
ing the cream of the Upper VIII
lamette. Returning on the west
side, the train will arrive at
Portland about 9 o'clock at night.
This is an opportunity not al
ways afforded the people of Port
land, and bumper crowd
should take advantage Of the
trip. Arrangements have been
made so that no one will have to
stand, plenty of seats being pro-
vided for all.
