broken and rugged in the states. There are no regular ranges, no 
order. The ridges run in all directions, and the timber almost to 
the summits. There are several glaciers on Mt. Olympus and one 
or two of the higher mountain peak**, and water everywhere. The 
most beautiful little parks with little lakes and waterfalls, and 
in the fall, the most beautiful coloring I have ever seen. 
I wished many times we could have had vou here last fall. 
We had Prof. Kauffman, Botanist of the university of Mich, and his 
wife, and an assistant prof, from the Mich. Ag. Ciiiege. The last, 
a Miss Taylor t only stayed a -*’eek or ten days, but the Kauffmans were 
here a month. They were working on fungi, and they had a great 
time. They were- here quite late in the fall, after the people had 
all gone, they had come to Seattle and gone to the University for 
information as to a good field and were sent to me from there, we 
had a little cottage which we gave them as a workroom and he fitted 
it up as a laboratory and set up his microscope and his library, 
a small stove and an oil heater to dry the specimens. Phil, my 
youngest boy was out of school at the time and he acted as guide 
and showed them round and they were very successful indeed, finding 
a great many rare specimens, and one in particular, which had never 
been found in North America before. The u. of M. is getting out 
a book and Prof. Kauffman had been selected to write up the Cordin- 
aria. I dust got this from Phil, and I am not sure about the spell¬ 
ing, but in all probability you will know what I mean. We revelled 
in mushrooms while they were here and learned a great many new 
edible species, at least Phil did, and we ate them.Some of them are 
very good indeed'.
