one:

a thing as telepathy between dog and

is. Let me give you an instance. Re-

OF spiritual and moral reform will be
the gospel Of the simple life. We

ties in the state. The largest net
gain In Republican strength was in

An Adventurous Trip
Up the Nehalem River

with three men sitting on the river
bank, Being the FIRST human beings
to see in two days, we landed, and
walked up 70 them, and inquired as
TO where we were, We were told
that we were AZ the confluence OF the
Salmonberry Creek and Nehalem
river, and you may be sure we were
surprised
"'rhe river at this place cuts three
mountains and rocks OF volcanic
origin. At the Salmonberry We
camped, where we 6shed and hunted,
Deer are plentiful, and from the
tracks we found the elk are certainly
abundant. Both the Salmonberry and
Nehalem furnish one with trout OF
all descriptions.
Staying a week at this place, We
once more broke camp, and started
for Nehalem City. Everything went
we'll until we were about two miles
below the Salmonberry, Here the
river runs through large gorge, and
when we were about half way through
the boat became jammed at the end
OF large ledge OF boulders. The
water at this place runs like mill
race, giving one very poor footing,
For three quarters OF an hour we
chopped and broke rock with a
geology hammer, and finally got the
boat through. II was at this place
that we almost gave up, but luck
seemed 10 be with us.
"Once more started, We met with
no further mishap until the largest
falls in the river were reached. Here
we came near going over without
knowing what was ahead OF us. Had
il not been for the spray that was
thrown some feet in the air, we sure
ly would have gone over with disas-
ferrous results. Landing on small
island we clamored out OF the boat,
and pulled il around the gals, and
lined it through the raging torrent
until calm water was reached. Then
came the little falls which have a
drop OF about five feet. Again we
lined the boat through, and although
good deal of water was taken in,
we came through safely.
From the little falls, we had clear
shooting to Mr. Batterson's farm, the
first farm this side OF Nehalem City
We camped at this farm that night,
and the next afternoon we reached
Nehalem City after shooting twenty
one rapids from the Patterson farm.
On examining the boat in Nehalem
City, it was found to be in good shape
regardless of the hard usage it had
been put through.
"On July 30th we started from
Nehalem City to Seaside reaching
there on the afternoon OF the 3lst
none the worse for our thrilling ex-
perience Of shooting three falls, can
yons, and rapids, in the Nehalcm
river.
an conclusion, we may say that it
certainly was great sport but advise
no one to take the trip without first
consulting some one who really
knows the good and dangerous parts
OF the river"
