To The Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: Having remained here sufficient
length of time to get brm full of Orkney, the
surroundings, and current events, now pro-
pose to speak out In meeting" kind Provi-
dence aud you permitting. Here we are $500
feet above tide water, with old North Noun
tain towering 1900 feet above our heads.
gentleman who visited tho summit Of the lat
ter mountain few days ago pronounces the
view superior to anything lie had ever seen,
and he claims to have looked out upon the
world from the highest mountain peaks in
Switzerland. I have not as yet taken that
point In, but if the proposed picnic to North
Mountain comes of | shall be there, and see
for myself by day, as well as the sunset, which
Is the grandest sight to behold.
Nature has certainly dealt with q bountiful
hand toward Orkney Springs, and the place is
entitled to all that its warmest friends claim
for it, Surrounded by picturesque mountain
and valley scenery, elevated sufficiently to af-
ford cool, dry, and invigorating air, and sup
piled with a collection Of mineral waters which
no other watering place in the United States
possesses, we fail to see what more could be
asked of nature. In addition to the health
giving properties of the waters aud of the at
mosphere to the invalid, Orkney offers every in-
ducement to the pleasure-seeker, and may, in
