A BEAUTIFUL PLACE

     Mr. Peter Stoller, of Trout Lake, was here Wednesday and made us a pleasant call.  Mr. Stoller owns a fine property situated at the outlet of Trout Lake and 30 miles distant from the mouth of White Salmon.  The country around the east side of the lake is level and is a vast meadow of timothy, which grows luxuriantly.  The outlet is a good-sized stream, and is filled with trout as is the lake which seems to be the breeding ground, and which makes the supply inexhaustible.  The lake itself is shallow, and the greater portion grows the long moss which rises nearly to the surface and in which the trout find safe and pleasant shelter.  It is a rare sight when a gentle breeze stirs the ripples in the lake to see the trout by thousands leaping from the water.  The road up the White Salmon is an excellent one, and with the abundant pasturage, beautiful camping spots, fresh butter and milk from Mr. Stoller's dairy and unexcelled fishing and hunting, this is one of the most available and attractive places in which to take a few weeks outing on the coast.  The wonderful ice caves are only five miles from his place, in his place is the best starting point for Mt. Adams, which is distant but a few miles.  We advise our Portland friends who want a few weeks in the mountains to visit Trout Lake.  The route is by rail to this point, and by team from here to the lake.
