Excerpt from Science, Vol. 19

The Klamath country is a region of mountains, lakes, and upland plains, stretching eastwardly into the interior from the lofty Camde Range, and elevated from four to seven thousand feet above the level of the sea. The author was naturally reminded of his native Switzerland by the grandeur of the scenery in the western portion of the reservation, where the towering ridge of the Cascade Moun tains and the shining mirrors of the lakes at their feet con front the visitor, surprised to see in both a reproduction of Alpine landscapes in the extreme west of America. It might be added that in the people themselves we recognise the well ltnown traits of mountaineers, as we trace them from the Scottish Highlands to Montenegro. And from the Caucasus to the Pamir, the intense local attachment, the spirit of independence, the desperate bravery in the defence of their homes, the frugality, and the strong conservatism.
