WINTER AMUSEMENTS AT COLO- RADO SPRINGS, Soeelal Correspondencs of Th Tridune, Covonavo Brrinas, Col., Dec. 81.—Forsoma yenrs past Colorado has been regarded both by the medical profession and by the laity as oneof the best places not only tn the United States, but In the world, for the cure of pulmonsry dis- <nses. Thither flock patfents from all parts of North and SBouth America. Eminent Enelish physiclans send thelr constimptive and asthmatlc patlents across the Atlantie tu the broad plains or ligh mountain regions of thia new sanitary- wo. Attention was first calied to the curative - bropertics of the ale and elimate of Colorado by the fact that invallds erossing the plains and go- Ing " to'the " mountalns in the days of the gold fever.wese o almost every case made strone and- wetl. These sdventures went slowly with thelr pack tralns, the journey from tho Misslssippt reauirioz inonths. Day by day they slowly toiled on, living all the time (o the open air, constantly making ohyaical exer. tion, and so gradunlly nccustoming themselves to the clovation of the great plains of the State, with thelr rartfied but stimulating stinusphere. Few Invalide who had tho courage to attempt this mode of travel were disappointed {n thelr search for health, And few would be dissp- vointed to«lay if they would bub adopt the satie mode. “But the palace ear, with Its com- ITorls and luxurles, proves too great a templa- tlon, ond ecse und present comfort are oiten bought nt the cost of tuture permanent benctit. But it is not to the Invalid alone that the cloudless sky, tho perpetunl sunehine, and the woudertully_{nvigorating and stimolating air havo proved attractive. These, coupled with the ever-varfed besuty and grandeur of the Rouky-Mountalin scenery, have drawn here, year by year, inany summer-tourists nnd plensure- seekers, The number of this class of visitors has boen steadily fncreasing durtng the past five years. This summer tue hotels and board- Ing-houses of our pretiy town, unly six miles {rom the foot of tike's Peak, and the uneighbor- in village of lamion, at its very base, wera fiiled to thelr uimost capacity wita those who sought pleasure, recreation, or health awmid new scenes, Very wany ol your readers huve carried back to’ thelr Enstcru homes pleasant memories of bn‘mt days spept fiere and amongst the natural ateractions of Monnment Park, tho Garden of the Gous, the Ute Pass, and .Cheyeune Canon. - To such of your readers a littie sketch of our winter Jife may not prove unioteresting, Soou alter theexodus of the summer tourists comes the udvout of health-seekers; and, alter o short time, hotals and bearding-houses are agalu filied with those who proposo to spend the winter in the milder and more gonfal climate of « this place. Tlere is much horseback-riding done here. Genurally, all winter long the tem- perature s mild_encugzh to allow this sort of uxerclso to bo taken with great profit and com- fort, 1 know of nothing more exnilarating than o gallop of balf o dozen miles.

But it must bo confessed that most persons would recard such o pertorninnce as rather sitly for grown-up people.

K.J. schliichio, AN OREGONTAN DEFENDS OREGON, T the Eduor of The Tribune. 81, Louss, Mo., Jan, 8.—Your correspondent {*H.," wbose receat letters deacriptive of West- ern Oregou sppesred lo Tam Tuinuss, takes ruther a mouruful view of tho situation. Fors stranger, sud o forciguer at that, be has wos made many blunders, but in several respects be has wade czgrogious wistakes. For examule: In speaking of the climate of that portlon of Oregon west of tho Cuscade rauee, bho ways 1t *Is notoriously malarial, ague and fever belug provalent to un alurmiog ex- teot.” - Thisis not correct. Ispeak from an cxpericoce of eight years, sod kuow It to be a fact; that 'the chmate 18 Dot “notorfonsly malarial.” - There Is no more malaris, no more {ever and ague, thao there was (n Indians and lllinols & few la Missouri sud tion of my lile wi River in Peoosylvau! du both sections, I ua and, irom an eXpenience are thers 18 ot 30 much ague snd fever on the Willamette as there 18 on tho Susquehanna. Of course there s some sick- hess in Orezon, and It is generally of a malarial charscter, but this is characteristic of ail newly-~ seitiod Btates whera tho ground Is fiest broxén up. But our State s as freo from sparudie, or epldemie, or endemic disease as any in the nion, Then *east of the Cascades thers I8 so much wind and duat, and such sndden changes of tgm- rcrmlre, ns to make diphtheria aweep aver the and a1 a scourge,’” First, I will remark that in Eastorn Oregon and Washington the changes in temperature aro not hall e frequent or half #0 great as In cvery Rtate castof the Rocky Mountaina, That s the fact. I speak from personal experience. There is rome wind and soma dust. But thero are no tornadocs. no hurricnues, earrying death and destruction in their track, Wa are free from those * visita- tlons of Providence.” Didany man ever hear of wind and dust breeding diphtherial 1 fear **ILY Is not. & medical expert!” There has bean diphtheria In the Walla.Walla country, but v was no more fatal there than It has been (n Ohlo, and moat of the fatslity I tnink could easily be attributed to the fault of peoples in not sendlng for a physician until the virus had sproad through the system, and also to the em- plrica who, 1n all new countries, usurp the name Bat thie most unkind cut of all 1s mnvefid in tho hint that we do not pay those who labor in tho Lord’s vincyard sufliclently. For, remarks 1, * at Corsallls, with 1.5600 jhhabitants, thera aro five churches, Not one of the minscers gota a thousand dollars a year salary, and thus men of cuiture and refinement are called on, It may be, ta haul and hew thoir own firewood in order to ekcout a scanty subsistence. . . ., Itls twslllvc cruclty tu seck to induce men of culture o come out here.” But is thia so! 1 deny the conclusion, We have no dvspetic preachers fn We don't want any of that kiod to blow the Gospel horn for us.” We compel thom to haul and saw thelr own firewood, and thus our religlouns bodles are saved the annnal ex- peuse of sending acores of broken down clergy- men to Europe to recruit thelr shattered frames, An ounce of prevention is worthh a pound of care. Let Eastern churchies profit by our cxample. 1 noper no falr-minded man will condemn us because a town of 1,500 peovlo in Oregon * with live churches " fails 'to nay the pastors over 81,000 each. Arothere not” towns in the Kast equally wicked 7 Bestder, the preaching may have been of an fuferior quality. \Why does not your correspondent tell us something on that point I Because, we oplne, he never saw the in- slde of s church at Corvaliis. 1lc writes like a man who has enjoyed very few of the benefits of the Gospel. In conciusion, I will remark that the climate of Oregon and Washington s equable and healthy; the soll marvelousty fertile, and the people are tne reverse of **narrow-minded and tgnorant.’?” Wo have no tornadoes if summer, no such terrible winters as wo aro now enduring and suffering from Lere, Our summers are rool, our winters comoaratively mild. We have no scorching weathor such as tho’ East suffered from last July and August. There never wasa cage of sunatioko In Orezon or Wasbington, But I never bave advised nor do I now advise emigrants to rush out there; there are 20,000 people a year golne {n there, and the tide of vopulation is poing fast coough. What we arc sufering fom more than ma- larla, more than “thoexcessive ralus aud fogs,'” is the ‘‘curse of & monopoly.” The Oregon Slean Navization Compouy, as Mr. 1l. has hinted, s tho worst cncm{lormon has. For example: The Walla Walla Valley shipped thils year in round numbers 1,200, bushels of wheat, for which the farmers got an averate of GO cents per bushel, or UN,000. Yet tho people of the upper river pald to the O. 8. N. Company more tnan the whols valuo of their wheat crop for charges on thelr up-river frelghts aloue; thatis, oo thelr dry goods, groceries, farm wachiner s et they paid more frelght than tho cotire vaiue of thefr wheat crop, For this astounding fact 1am in- debted to tho {lon. Mlles Moore, whom Mr. 1. fudorses so hizhly, They pay about $3 per 100 pounds for200 miles of river navigation. 1f tho country was not feriflc beyond ali others, If the people did not jn addition raise wool, horaes, and cattle, thoy would find it hard work to pay for the goods besides. But they do pay for them, and live fn comparative comfort. Inn less frultful land, with sach cruel task-masters as the Columbia River munopoly, the fnbab- itants would soon loss thelr fum-tum and be- come lazarvnl. Wan-vooT.
