Above the Clouds on Echo Mountain Observatory
Long, rambling note from a California observatory on Echo Mountain describes dust canopies over the Pacific, starlit skies with Sirius Vega Arcturus Spica and Canopus, and reports on local residents, health, and community events in a fragmented 1910 journal style. It mentions Prof Larkin, gatherings at the Church of God Bethel, local trades, and possible weather shifts with a brief civic update on Siskiyou statehood speculation in California Oregon.
