A VOLCANIC MONUMENT.
Wonderful Old Balancing Rock Near
Portland, Ore.

Wonderful Old Balancing Rock Near
Portland, Ore.
One of the most remarkable rocks in
the world is that known as the bal
ancing rock" which stands on the
bank of the Willamette river a short
distance above the city of Portland,
Ore. Rising from a broad base is a
small column roughly round in shape.
Just above this is huge mass Of rock
bearing a tree on the summit, the total
height of rock and column being about
a hundred feet
Although a great deal larger and
heavier than the pillar on which il
stands, the big rock is very accurately
balanced For how many centuries
this odd freak has stood not even the
wiSest scientists are able TO determine,
but it has evidently been there for
very long period.
The entire rock is of a volcanic ma
ture, and the most singular thing
about il is the fact that the knob and
pillar are entirely diSjointed from one
another. Wind ard weather no doubt
are slowly wearing the balancing
rock" away, but the process is so i'm
perceptble that, failing some unfOre-
seen catastrophe. the monument will
probably endure for many centuries

Ocean Springs, Miss. March Ed
itor The Argus: Believing the resi-

know something about this part of the
country. in which I am now visiting.
am taking the liberty of asking you to
publish this letter. We have been here
now several months at this far south
eTn point of Uncle Sans domain, and
give you some description of this beau
tiful little town on the gulf coast
Ocean Springs is an old town and is
almost entirely surrounded by water,
as the bayou reaches from the gulf
some 10 miles back into the land. This
bayou, it is reputed. was the home of
Pierre Lafette. the great gulf pirate of
some years back. 1t is an ideal place
for launches and small craft of every
description.
The climate here is excellent. with
the temperature seldom down 10 the
freezing point. Live oaks, Spanish
moss, China trees, roses and violets
are in full bloom and have been all
winter The water of the gulf is shall
low and it abounds with oyster beds
4 great many of these bivaives are
shipped from here TO New Orleans
from which point they go all over the
country. Across the bay from Ocean
Springs is Biloxi, a noted winter resort
and near here is Beauvoir, the former
