The day is bright and I had a good sunny trip north through the Willamette Valley to Portland. After out of Eugene and about half way north the valley ends and flows as Tofte. To the east are the Crank Mts and to the west the Cascades with their rising volcanoes. May have seen the Three Sisters early in June, but soon one fades to see them away off. To the east of me Mt. Jade a snow top. The flatness of the Willamette and the Butting horizontally against the outer hills shows that a lake a little a sea once was in this valley as held by Cordova. 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.
