which is summer resort on Great
| Salt Lake There are amusements of
various Kinds there but the best of all
was bathing in the lake. One can
not sink in that water you know
| (Which is rs ger Ct SALTY and it is
great sport to float People can go
bathing in there who cannot swim at
all. When I came out of the water
I was so hungry it seemed as though |
couldn't eat enough. Well 1 left
Salt Lake City and my next stop was
Portland. This certainly is dandy
place. My brother, B. D. Budworth
mas beautiful home here and lawn
covered with roses.
This sure is a great rose country.
Every lawn has it's roses and lots of
them. / guess I missed something
great by not being here for the Rose
Carnival which was held June ell,
but missed it, so may as we'll forget
it I have seen roses here as large as
saucer but they tell me [ haven't
seen the large ones yet. saw an old
apple tree with climbing rose bush
on it-roses blooming clear up in the
top of the tree.
I took trip to Oregon City last
week, a little town about fifteen miles
from here. 1t is d very pretty place
but the feature is the falls in the
Willamette river there. I have also
been to Estacada, about thirty five
miles from here where we went on a
picnic There is beautiful park at
this place--a great forest of frs on the
banks of mountain stream.
Archie Sampson "a former Herald
printer) and I took little side trip
from there to Cazadera where there is
good trout fishing. We didn't go
/ fishing that day but are going soon.
1 have been to 1.-The Oaks an
amusement park about like the
white City" in Chicago, City Park,
a very beautiful place full of animals
of all kinds, beautiful flowers, birds.
etc. I saw one cage in which we're
about thousands canaries and guess
they were all singing-it Listened"
| like it.
| There are buffalo, elk, polar and
black bears, lion, etc. in the park.
l have not been able as yet to
obtain very good view of Mt. Hood
and Mt. ST. Helens but have seen
enough of them to know they are
beautiful. Portland is very beauti
full and also very busy city. Boats
from all parts of the world come here
so this is very important shipping
point. Products of all kinds are
shipped from here but wheat and
lumber are the chief exports. 1t is
estimated that the saw mills here cut
1900 900 #. of lumber every working
day of the year.
Next to New York, Portland ships
more wheat than any other part in the
world. Last year there were 16, 426,
1856 bushels of wheat and $40. $40 bar.
rels of Hour shipped from here so
you see it is some shipping port.
Swift & Co. have So, 900, 900 pack
ing plant here. was all through it
last week.
I was down on the docks last week
and saw large boat which had just
come from China. Have seen several
large ocean steamers.
Building is going on here at the
rate of 81, 900, 600 per month. This is
certainly busy place. see by the
paper that the weather has been very
warm back there-it is nice and cool
here and has been all the time I've
been here.
We are going down to the ocean
soon which is only three hours
ride from here by boat or rail-
Haven't given you very good
description of Portland but will say it
is certainly a beautiful city and
makes hit with me.
Am going onto a ranch tomorrow
about eleven miles from here. The
climate here has given me a dandy
appetite and if it increases when I
get on the ranch I'm afraid I will
have to spend most Of my time eating.
