mountain is the famous slide. The
 rock at some time became detached
 from the mountain and slid down into
 the depths below, leaving smooth l place from the summit to the lake, 1 aboua two hundred feet wide and five
 or six feet of rock that disappeared. I The legend is that man named Rog-
 CTS was pursued by the Indians and
 coming to the top of this mountain, re- yersed his snow shoes at the edge of
 the precipice, and by flank move
 ment escaped, and when the Indians came to the precipice they saw Rog- CTS running up the lake on the ice, and said 1t was no use to pursue man
 who could slide down that rock and the great spirit would protect him.
 Since then it bears the name of Rodgers Slide," or "Rodger's Rock" and the magnificent hotel on the Plat eau at the north side takes it's name from that and is known as the Rodgers Rock Hotel. Opposite the hotel is an island about two acres in extent, ,on which three counties center and three townships. Here was retailed the worst kind of alcoholic stimulants, and was noted for evil Officers of the law had grent difficulties in making arrests, because of getting out of the county so easy; and the State of New York passed three county act to meet the difficulty and the resort soon went to pieces. After leaving Rodg- er's Rock, twenty minutes sail takes you past Anthony's Nose, promi- nent point of mountain projecting sharply out into the lake, and as you round into Blair's Bay and look back at the point, you will discern one of the finest outlines of a profile of a mans face to be found in the world. This gives it the name of Anthony's nose. Opposite the nose is Pot Rock. About six to ten feet above the sur face of the lake is a smooth rock of about half acres extent aad slopes to the lake In this rock are numer- ous holes of round formation, and hold from one to three pails of water each. In these the Indians are said to have boiled their corn and roots in these, by heating stones and dropping them into the water in these holes, hence the name "Indian Pot Rock" In our next we will have something to say about the unfortunate Steamer John Jay.

 Above I have given the SENTINEL short report on these three canals, which closes my contract. My trip las been an interesting and pleasant one, even though l did get rained up- on for one whole day and came near drowning myself and horse in an at tempt to cross the Gila rlver at its angry stage. 1 have been surprised at the amount of information this sec, tion of country has undergone during the last year, and simply astonished in noticing the wonderful results follow ing the application of water to what has hitherto been virgin soil. The growth of all kinds of agricultural products has been so rapid as to seem almost magical. I have passed fields, seeded to grain, wherein nothing could be seen but narrowed earth, and three days afterwards, in visiting the same places, those very fields were mass of living greenland this in winter. Fruit trees have taken on a measured growth of three feet in two months time, and flowers bloom and blossom as though they were the pro duc6 of Hindoo jugglers.
 Yuma county is to be congratulated upon her good fortune in having her lands settled upon by the class of peo- pie now filling up the upper Gila valley. Steady, industrious and en- terprising, they have laid their hands upon the lever of progress with a de- termination to lift themselves and their neighbors into lasting prosperity, and they cannot fail for they have, for a fulcrum, the hand of Nature resting upon resources of soil, climate, and water that will never either shift or give way. The prevailing aim among land holders is to devote most of their attention to the raising of citrus fruits, grapes and raisins, and if this aim IS carried out there will be creat- ed valley so beautiful and prosper ous as to be veritable paradise on cath.

 ouS Island.
PART 1T.

Opposite tone tree island" on the
 south side of the lake: and above
 Hulett's landing is "Elephant Noun
 tain," not so called because of its
 magnitude as a mountain, generally
 known as Elephant Ridge) but from the impersonation of that animal in its formation and figure. As you as- cend the lake and swing out from Hulett's back to take the North Chan nel through the lower Archipelago of Islands, you will see what appears to be regular Jumbo. The head, ears trunk and the eyes are plainly DOT trayed. and the slope of the mountain ridge back from the fore shoulders, plainly marks the outline of the Ele- phant. The Pilot of the steamer or Captain will usually delight the pass engers by caalling attention to the huge Elephant on the shore. A smooth rock projecting out forms the ear, and the shadows around it give it the tone of color, while a cavity in the rock farther forward, forms the eye, and the sharp cone farther on gives the appearance of Jumbo's trunk. Doubtless many tourist has been able to say Che has seen the Ele
 phant," and it may be that the old ad- age was borrowed from some tourists adventures on Horizon lake. Let us return, or rather turn back and start on our journey from Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlain; where you leave the Champlain stream and take the cars for Baldwin's dock, on the Hori- con. a distance of three and a half miles, to embark on the steamer on Horizon, for trip through the lake, for there are few things of interest we want to look at at, as we pass through this wonderful body of water, resting among the Adriondacks.
 Baldwin's landing is at the upper end of Cooks Bay, famous as the landing of Lord Howe and AbercroMbie with their troops. Lord Howe's Monu- ment can be seen from the cars as you yass the upper Falls, and marks the place where Howe fell in the skirmish with the French and Indians. The first landing as you leave on the up trip, is Rodgers Rock Hotel. The name is taken for the Hotel, from what is called Rogers Slide. Close to the hotel is high bluff mountain that is too steep to climb on its lake front, and is generally smooth rock and devoid of vegetation. At the base of this mountain rock the water in the lake is said to be over three hundred feet deep, and about the center of the

ting from what promised, two weeks
before harvest, the finest crop of wheat
for years. The oat yield is about 81
per cent of an average crop. Alec.
Austin, a well-known Waverly farmer,
informs us that crop of oats which
grew on his farm and which, ten days
before harvest, promised at least 40
bushels to the acre, will yield no more
than 20 bushels, if they do even that
much.
The officers of the fair are receiving
every encouragement from the people,
and if the weather is good they hope to
be able to give even more satisfactory
fair than last year. 1t is under the
same management, with the same pro-
gramme, except the purses are larger
for some of the best races. Already
large number of horsemen are inquir-

will probably be 80 per cent larger than

continued, although it is not all that
could have been desired at the first at

programme provides for the sale of all
kinds of stock, and farmers having
stock to sell will be allowed to enter it

state Convention of the Christian Church.
The annual meetings of the above de-
nomination, which began here on the
afternoon of Thursday last, drew to-
gether a large representation from all
parts of the state, over one hundred
delegates registering their names. From
first to last the sessions were full OF in
terest, the ministerial association inau
gurating the work of the convention.
On Friday morning topics pertaining
20 the Sunday school were considered,
the afternoon being devoted To the Wo-
mans Board of Missions. In connec-
ton with this service, one hour was oc-
cupied with exercises rendered by the
children-Miss Hattie Cooley, of Bloom
ingdale, enlivening the proceedings by
reading beautiful original poem, enti-
tied "A Million Month"
On Friday evening the services were
opened by Miss Nettie Sheppard, of
Benton Harbor who recIted with much
pathos The World and the Church;"
after which Mrs. Persis l.. Christian, of
Chicago, delivered an address of great
brilliancy and power on the need of
woman's labor i'm the field of missionary
activity.
Saturday was taken up with matters
pertaining to state missionary work, an
excellent discourse being delivered by
W H. Scott, of Ionia, on How God
Proposes to Enrich Mankind In the
afternoon the report of the state board
was read and several committees APP
pointed, the session closing with a con
/ ference on church finances.
Sunday was a day long To be remem.

vention. With President collars every

/ times during the convention, and his
manly. direct utterances went home TO
every heart: while f. NJ. Rains proved
himself master of assemblies in the
way i'm which he opened the pockets of
/ the people-his appeals resulting in the
raising of something over one thousand
dollars for missionary and church eX-
/ tension purposes.
During the meeting dinner and sup
per were served in the parlOrs of the
/ First Baptist church, a christian cour-
tcsy highly appreciated. Everything
was conducted with the utmost good
order, the ease whcrewith the entire
convention was managed and cared for
refecting great credit upon the ladies
of the Christian church, number of
our townspeople, not connected with
that body of believers, generously open

This great convention was "a joy and
blessing to all privileged to attend,
and we but voice the universal senti-
ment when we say that whenever the
state meeting of the Christian church
shall again be appointed at Paw Paw,
our citizens will welcome the appoint
ment, realizing the fact that such gath
erings of christian people are health
ful and ennobling, inspiring and up
lifting.
