MONTANA TO CALIFORNIA.

An 1nterentlea

Letter Hon. °Man

SAN Faxsalissa, Cal., Oct. 22.

Editor Tana NE.

The description of a country as viewed

front the car windows of a fast-moving

passenger train, is necessarily an incom-

plete one, because but a partial view 18

presented for the mind's inspection,

Therefore, we shall but briefly refer to

our journey from Butte City to San Fran-

cisco.At 2:15 a. m. we boarded

the Northern

Pacific train at the Montana Union depot.

Here we met Postmaster Lamont of Dillon

on his way to Sruead to look after his

manufacturing interests.

We reached Missoula about 6:30 in the

morning. We are told that Missoula

realty continues to boom. Judge Hiram

Knowles, nO well and favorably known in

Beaverhead county, is reported to have

made 8100.000 by judicious investments

in real estate here.

After leaving this place a run of seven

miles takes us to De Smet, the junction

for the branch line to the Cour D 'Alene

mines. Aries. twenty-one miles further

on, is the diverging point lor tht Flathead

Indian agency, five miles distant, north.

Ravella is thirty-eight miles from Mis-

soula. Supplies for Saint Ignattm mis-

sion, five miles north, tunl for the Flat-

head country, seventy miles north, are

transported from this statiori. Nothing

of interest presents itself after we leave

Ravella until the town of timead is

reached. Here is located the extensive

shingle manufactory of Smead & Lamont.

with a capacity of MAIO shingles per

day. A ferry boat, owned by the firm,

village on the opposite shore of Clark's

Fork of the Columbia river. All

Aboard," shoots the conductor, and away

we speed, over high trestle, around sharp

Curies with high icon: thins on each side.

and burnt timber, towering cedars and

stately pines, in close proximity to the

track. Suddenly we emerge into an open

cortary. and the beautiful watera of Lake

Pen D. Oreille lies before us. We are

now in Idaho, et the town 14 Hope, a

noted summer resort for tourists. Steam-

ers make daily trips to all parts of the

lake, which is said to be forty miles wide

and sixty miles long. The change from

mountain to Pacific new standard time is

made here. and we set our watches back

one hour.

Hope is 195 mitre from Butte, and is, I

think, destined to become e popular sum-

mer resort. Kootenai, eleven miles weld-

ward, is the station for the rich mines

lying to the north. At Hauser Junction

travelers for the COM D 'Melts' country

change cars.

AN darkness begins to spread its mantle

around us, we discern the glimmer of

scores of electric lights, and are told that

Spokane Falls is in view. The ilisaidnins

fire of August 4, 1141411, was a calamity

r train

pulled into the depot at Ellensbur,:,

Wash., where we stopped for ci few days

to visit relatives. We are indebted to

Editor Battersim, of the Washington

State Register, for emirtesies extended,

and deeply regret that ill-heidth tle•

',rived um of a more extended nciputint-

ance with Ellensburg and her people.

The city of Ellenablog, the emtnty seat

of Kittitas comity, and the largest city in

central Washington. is situated a /Mort

distance from the Yakima river. It occu-

pies a beautiful site, sloping slightly to

the *intim._ To the weetwiird Mt.

plain of the Columb a. The Kittitae

valley ocenpien the mid.ile of the comity.

It extends northwest and mathenat it dim-

-

fence of forty miles, and measures about

forty miles across. The raising of cereals

is not it success without irrigation, and

the same trouble that confronts the ranch-

men of Montana relating to water litiga-

tions is added to the annoyances of the

farmers of this section. Nearly all kinds

of fruit is grown, and I can vouch as to

the excellence of Washington pears.

But we must not tarry too long in one

place, so we are off for Tacoma'. 127 miles

distant. It is night, and as we approach

the Stampede tunnel, in the Cascade

monntains, we are told that nearly one-

half of this tunnel is arched with Japan-

ese brick, and that in a few months' time

will see the work complete and the two

miles of underground railway will present

a safe and pleasant scene, lighte.l up as

it is by hundreds of electric lights.

We had planned to stop off at Tacoma

for it few days, but circumstances are ad-

verse, so onward we go to Portland, which

city we reach about $ o'dock id-the morn-

ing. It is raining and disagreeable, not,

I judge. an uncommon occurrence. From

my hotel window I notice many of the

trees anti house roofs covered with moss.

A drummer solemnly tells me that last

fall it rained fourteen consecutive days.

and when the sun appeared the dogs

commenced to bark, being thus able to

express their gratitude, that the olive

branch was yet in sight. This man has

traveled all over Montana, otherwise I

should doubt some of his statements.

But in truth it shall be said that Portland

to-day is one of the most prosperous cake

on the Pacific coast.

At night we again board the train, and

after a comfortable night's rest, awake to

find ourselves in the midst of highly cul-

tivated farms, fine barns and neat cottages

meet our gaze on every hand, surrounded

by apple, peach. plum and pear orchares,

with the ground literally covered with

fruit, and many of the limbs propped up

to aid in supporting their burden. In

the afternoon the scene changes t we are

crossing the Mountains. Above us, per-

haps a thousand feet, rims it parallel rail•

road, which we soon find out is only a

continuation of the Southern Pacific, the

road we are now riding over. We could

easily step off the car, walk across to the

track above and take a half hour's rest

before the train could make the ascent.

The scenery is wild and picturesque. in-

deed. AN evening's shade closes in, the

conductor announces five minutes' stop

at the soda springs, at the tot of Mt.

Shasta. A large tank, filled with the

water, under cover, supplied with numer-

ous dippers, affords ample opportunities

for every one to partake of the medicated

Another night's ride and at Si o'clock

we arrive at Oakland, where we take the

ferry boat for San Francisco. Here, too,

it is foggy and chilly, and we are obliged

to defer our contemplated sight seeing.

Tomorrow we leave for Los Angeles,

from which city we may write you again.

Issues. Where there is difficulty of breath-

and bronchial tubes, with a constantly Irri-

Cherry Pectoral. It removes the phlegm,

soothes irritation, stops coughing, and in-

duces repose. As all emergency medicine,

Ayers Cherry Pectoral should be in every

household.
