Grove, Amermans, and other points 
on the California & Oregon Railroad; 
and Waldo and Kirbyville, located in 
the Coast Range, near the California 
line. These points are situated in the 
Williamette Valley, the most thickly. 
settled portion of the State, and game 
and fish are abundant at either, con- 
sisting of the varieties already men- 
tioned, affording sufficient sport for 
either Nimrod or Fishrod. Astoria, 
Rainer, and Columbia is within easy 
access of the finest salmon fishing in 
the world. Clatsop Beach, at Astoria, 
is a noted Summer resort for the res- 
idents of San Francisco. Amermans 
is but a short distance from the Cas- 
cade Mountains, the home of the elk, 
the deer, the bear, and the fountain- 
head of many trout streams; and on 
the east side, at the base of the moun- 
tains, near the California boundary 
line, is Fort Klamath, located at the 
head (or north) of Upper Klamath 
Lake—a large body of water, filled 
with choice fish and a noted resort 
for every conceivable variety of wild 
fowl. A short distance from the fort 
is an extensive swamp, known as the 
the Klamath Marsh, amid the dense 
covers of which Mr. Bruin has made 
his residence, comparatively secure 
from the intrusion of man. Along 
the edges of the marsh and the lake 
shores snipe and plover congregate 1n 
large numbers. Waldo and Kirby- 
ville are good starting points for deer | 
and bear hunting. 
The places mentioned are reached 
by taking the steamers at San Fran- 
cisco to Astoria, thence rail down the 
Williamette Valley to Roseburg, the 
southern terminus of the California 
& Oregon Railroad, thence stage to 
Redding, at which point take the cars 
for San Francisco; or take the cars at 
San Francisco and reverse the route, 
‘The trip will prove a delightful one, 
and afford the tourist a view of some 
of the grandest scenery in the coun- 
try. Another route is, to leave the 
ears at Winnemucca, on the Union 
Pacific Railroad, from which point a 
line of stages run to Camp Winfield 
Scott; from Camp Scott there is a 
road to Fort Klamath (before men- 
tioned), passing Camp McGarry and 
Fort Bidwell. From Fort Klamath, 
strike across Cascade Mountains to 
Jacksonville, or go down Upper Kla- 
| math Lake to Klamathlito, thence 
private conveyance to Amermans and 
so on up the valley, as before stated. 
It is “a hard road to travel,” but will 
infuse new life into sluggish veins. 
The Blue Mountain Region, in the 
northeast of the State, is a fine game 
and fish country, comprising all the 
varieties we have mentioned. This 
section is reached by dropping off the 
ears on the Union Pacifiic Railroad 
at Kelton, thence by stage to Boise 
City, in Idaho. From Boise City, a 
tri-weekly line of stages run north- 
west to Dallas City, via Canon City, 
and adaily line, taking a more north- 
erly direction, runs to Umatilla, on 
the Columbia River, passing through 
Baker, Union, LaGrande, Marshall, 
and Pendleton, at either of which lo- 
calities accommodations can be had. 
Stages also leave Winnemucca, on the 
Union Pacific, daily, for Boise City, 
via Camp Winfield Scott, Fort Me- 
Dermit, Camp Three Forks, and Sil- 
ver City. 
If we mistake not, there is a road 
leading from Dallas City to Warm 
Springs and Prine, at the base of the 
Blue Mountains on the west and to.
