The day is bright and I had a good sunny trip north through the Willamette valley to Portland. Arrived out of Eugene and about half way north the rainy in middle and pleasant till. To the east are the Crater butts and to the west the Cascades with their coming volcanoes. May have seen the Three Sisters early Eugene, but soon one fears to see them away off. To the west of me out had a snow tops. The flatness of the Willamette and the hutting horizontally against the soft hills shows that a lake a better a sea may once in this valley as held by Cordm. If so it would be formed by the shells in the deposits above the extremely tilted older Cenozoic deposits. Put up at the Multnomah Hotel, a very large hotel but evidently one built some years ago.
