FROM OREGON.
Arleta, Oregon,
luly 9, 1809.
The Terlton Times:
I promised to write you a letter
upon my arrival but have been
so buey sight seeing that 1 have
not had time for letter writing.
But as the Times has arrived
containing a lottar from Mrs.
Colbum in Mexico, it reminds me
of my promiee.
We left Wichita at 5:20 P. M.
June 10th and traveled through
a fine level country with hundreds
of acres of wheat all ripe and
ready for the harvest. ThcSO. ,"niched Idaho and it
wheat fields remind me of the i t(j look ^ett-er already. We

ar I -eplied that Cheyenne was
or e tne richest tewn* of its size
in ;.be U. S. Of course their vast
herds of cattle and sheep ie the
tecret of their wealth
The oountry ie getting rougher
and rougher and more barren as
we travel through Wyoming.
Guess we will reach the n 1 thing
before long. Nething but urren
prairie and sage brush. The only
inhabitants we see are the many
prairie dogs which have thrown
up numerous villages all through
this countty.
In the distanoe we can see tne
far famed Blaok Hills an^ we are
brought to think of Custer and
his last fight. We've concluded
we don't setUe in Wyoming. Now
v i a ;t
to think about it; but truly those
fields of wheat stretching away
as far as the eye can reach were
a beautiful sight, especially.wb en
it is a fine i rop like it is this year
The corn docs not look so well,
in fact it had been raining bO
much that fields were under water
and those that were not were too
wet to cultivate and the weeds
had the corn be?ted.
We passed through Mt Hope,
Kansas at 6:35. Hero the corn is
almost as high as dad's. There
are still plenty of wheat fields
and more corn and aha! there
is the first alfalfa I've seen and it
looks sick-too much rain. Did I
bast of farm land where it can be
irrigated. As we go farther north
west we see fine farms, fine orch-
ards and beautiful clear sparkl-
ing Water. We never saw a pig
«• a chicken from the time we left
Denver until we reached Idaho.
TlK-re we passed one house with
two black shoats in the back yard
and they looked good to hayseeds
like us but they also looked lome-
home Now we are traveling in
tne mountains along the beauti-
ful Snake River, and we go right
over the American falls, another
grand sight, as the water rushes
on in the sunlight and the spray
forms n beautiful mist; but we

Hutohinson, quite a town and
where Terlton gets her salt.
We crossed the line into Crlo-
rado some time the next morning
Ngt much corn to be seen but lots
of alfalfa and we are getting into
&e irrigation district. Here are
potato fields and sugar beets.
And now as we go farther west
"' "• we begin to see tho3e vast fields
of cactus which we have so ::often
We have longed all our lives
for a sight of the mountains and
wo find it all just as grand and
incomprehensible as piotured in
our dreams, but we have been
told such hair-raising stories of
the trains going straight up the
mountain aides. They dont do it
on the O. 8. L., they go straight
through it. There are always a
few fertile valleyc with its settlers
and gardens and orchards and
truck patches, but every thing
of cactus which we have so-often | feut hav(l
heard rbout. We pass through ^ at theBconolttBion that we

havn't seen a rock since wo left
Wichita. We're beginning to tire
of such smooth sailing ar.d would
appreeiate one good genuine old
jolt, such as Oklahoma rcckc
would give. Here is another^ vill

would rather live where the Lord

It Is not a crime to prow old if you
do so naturally end gracefully. In
fact It Is lu-3*. creditable, and highly
honorable. ..
However, it Is a crime to grow Did-
beyond your years. To do so you
must abuse and mistreat yourself. Na
ture never Intended that any one
should prow old prematurely, but to
mature and ripen normally, and re-
tain the natural senses and tastes un-
til the machine finally runs down and
stops.
Infirmity is never sent upon any
one. but every one who ages prema-
turely cr grows iuflmi must take the
blame to himself. Infirmity, which is
physical weakness, is invited, en
con raged and ma'ntained, and it
comes not except n answer to dis-
tinct and oft-repeated invitations.
It is true that with centuries of ill
breeding, with se* •' "'ture and
wrong living. It 1- but natural that |
there «hould be many physical and
moral defective*, but the tendency is
so strong toOiUU. 1 ual that It
does not tako long t ■ •' back to the
right way. .

marked and quite noticeable in all
