Upper Columbia Camp Ground.
By Editor
AFTER a tiresome ride, the last night all night on the cars, we arrived on the ground Tuesday forenoon, May 30. The weather is now beautiful, though the season is late. We had to come thus early because of the time of the steamer leaving San Francisco. The brethren are fast putting the camp in order for the meeting, which commences to-morrow. Without a moment's rest we engaged in preparing our manuscript for the SIGNS, in order that it may be returned to the steamer before it leaves Portland. The state of our health would not permit us to do more than to rough sketch a little on the passage. Though never sea-sick, we did not sit up much on our late trip on the ocean. Notwithstanding the increase in the number of Sabbath-keepers in Washington, it is not expected that we shall have as large an attendance as last year. This is not owing to any want of interest, but to the fact that the work of the year has mostly been for the north, and quite a number of families have moved from this part of the Territory to the north, too far for all to attend the camp-meeting. The present prospect is that the next one will have to be held from 80 to 100 miles north of this place. EDITOR.
