The large decrease in the prohibition
year was accomplished in spite of Serious
defects in the Local Option law. A five
gallon> ordinance and other obstacles
stood in the way.
The trial of 81 900 license in Rockford
was very unsatisfactory, even comparing
the results with those under lower rates Of
license. This fact is proved by the fol-
lowing comparative table:

Two Hundred and Eighty Years OF I'm
aV,N

In 1909, after traversing the Hudson
River from its mouth to Albany, and care
fully noting the grandeur and beauty on
either side of this magnificent highway OF
nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these
words:
"It Is rs beautiful land as one can tread upon"
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
yelously increased the beauty OF the great
river called by his name, and could ne re-
turn to the scenes of his manhood, he
would find many more lovely sights
than those upon which bis eyes rested
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. The natural beauties OF the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description can eXaggerate them; but tine
magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumerable saillnR
craft that dot the surface of the mighty
river, the nevercnding clusters OF canal
boats that are being tOwed up and down,
the beautiful villas that ono encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we ma mere
and there along the banks Of this noblest
river of the continent, add an endless va
ricty to the scenery, and reslst!eSS charm
to the eye of the traveller.
The New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank of the Hudson
river the entire distance between New ork
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line
tnat connects the metropolis Of the western
world with the famous health and pleasure
resorts of Central, Northern and western
New York, including in its list the Catsklll
Mountains, Saratoga, Lake George, Sharon
and Richfeid Springs, Lake Ontario, the
Berkshire Hills, Niagara Falls, the Thou
sand Islands. Lake Champlain, the River St.
Lawrence, and hundreds of others.
