ANOTHER LETTER ! y
FROM THE EDITOR
Medford, Oregon,

4 Must write little more about this
place. Say, was telling you about
the wonderful climate here. Well. nv
| sister-in-law, Mrs. Moffatt, was boil
ing some eggs for breakfast recently
and she said that the air was so light
here and the heat of boiling water of
so rare a quality that it takes about
five minutes longer to boil eggs than
it does down there and she saws YOU
cannot boil beans at all-of course
you can believe this or not just as you
Ieel IKE it. but there is something diff
derent about the atmosphere. Last
| sunday we were taken on most Won
oer1ul trip to the summit of the Sis
klyou mountains, about thirty-fiye
miles from Medford over paved roads
all the way winding up the mountains
oyer the most wonderful curves of en-
glneerlng you ever saw and when we
reached the summit we could look into
California the line being only two and
half miles below US, and Mount
Shasta, a snow covered mountain,
looming up in majestic splendor in the
oflng. The air up here some 1922
feet above sea level, is very light and
It made us light headed-we fancy

ing that is his usual condition" We'll
that,s al right, but it also caused nose
bleed with some of the children. We
mad dinner two miles below the sum-
NIT. Campers are going and coming
all the time in both directions. going
and coming from California. Cars
are seen from every quarter of the
globe. This morning saw a bio
Nofth Dakota touring car standing in
front OF one of the hotels here but did
not get chance to see the owner. Mr.,
and Mrs. F. c. Clark are enjoying life
easily and comfortably out here. Mrs.
Clark called on the ladies yesterday
afternoon. So far I have not seen r
=. We are going to Grants Pass soon
to call on Mr.. and Mrs. George Peake
who live at that place. Last Sunday
we visited Ashland, Oregon, twelve
miles from here, a most beautiful
place and having some of the most
beautiful natural parks in the world.
1t has caves in which flow water from
sulphur springs and little further
away pure water flowing in cascades
down the rocky hillsides, then there
are grottos and hooks in profusion,
from natures handiwork, demonstrate
ing that God is and was everywhere
when ne created the earth. making
places like these for the use of man
klnd-places where people of right
mind and temperament can enjoy out
ings that are of pleasure to them.
They have' fine tourist camp fixed
up with shower baths, gas, electric
lights and all modern conveniences
pavilions and band stands and it would
be hard for us to describe it ALMA
ture has made it easy for the people
of this town to make this real beau
ty spot nesting down in the valley
with mountain hills forming a fence
all around it. Mrs. Trubshaw stood
the climb up and down the mountains
of the Siskiyous much better than I
expected but she is not enthusiastic
about trying any more of it. The
grades are very steep and the curves
are like the letter S. so that the driv-
er needs to keep his eye open all the
time. but the paved roads all the way
make the trip exceedingly pleasant
for the sight seer and those whose
nerves are not easily disturbed when
one looks down hundreds of feet in
the gulches and valleys below where
single n1isstep on the part of the
driver might throw you over the
banks to death. But why dwell on
these facts, we liked the trip, it was
wonderful and we shall never regret
or forget it. They are trying to get
US to go to Crater Lake-a beautiful
lake on top Of volcano some IS miles
from here. The roads are not paved
but are not bad. Mrs. Trubshaw we
do not think can be induced to go, and
whether she will let me 60 or not I
have not fought it out with her at this
time-but would like to see it. It is
one Of the wonders of the country. We
are getting the Times Record regu-
larly and it is a welcome visitor. I
notice that the paner is Being we'll
edited and so far Valley City seems to
be getting along without us-that
seems strange as we thought when we
left that maybe the old town might
come to a standstill- seriously
friend, we are thinking Of you all ev-
cry day and Of our good friends and
neighbors back there and we are in
deed pleased that everybody is getting
along well. In few days we shall be
starting back home and our vacation
will have resulted in much good and
enjoyment to us all Former Valley
City friends send kind regards and all
cay that while they would not move
back there they would be delighted to
90 back. to visit old time friends and
they are certainly greatly pleased to
receive visit from Valley City and
Barnes county people who drop out
this way Can't say whether will
write any more before returning home
or not, but I guess you will say that
this is enough anyway. Kind regards
70 the boys and all enquiring friends.
Sincerely
P. R. TRUBSHAW.
