PICrUBEsQUR SCENTS.
Thehotel is perched like some eagles eyre
upon the s.eep mountain side. The ever
stirring breezes softly whisper through the
maple leaves. while at the same time 'eui-
pes.uous roarines Of Dry river are family
heard echolng their everlasting burden OF
song against the pictured rocks OF the OPP
posing ellis. Prospect Point" hlVen
Rocks" Flag Mountain" "Bali-kooh
Rocks and tie proverbial Lover
Leap" are truly inaryels of beauty.

NATURES WONDERS.
The Ballroom Rocks is another OF ma

Kind and adords AS certain possibilities Of
instant death as any despalring love couiu

So much for the natural beauties OF the
place. Added 10 this, suffice It TO say
that artistic graded walks conduct the
rambler unerringly to any desired spot.
and be It further mentioned that to trout
fishermen DRY river" IS n ncver-tailing
reservoir for that most fascinating sport
in all the long category of Waitonlan
recreation. About $50 yards from the
hotel Dry river and Blacks run unite;
Iheso streams are teeming with trout and
AFFORD fine sport. June 9th four gentle
men from Rawley caught 3l3 trout.
The resident physician here IS DR.. {: +;
Whitehead, of Louisiana, distinguished
member of his profession, and formerly
president of tho Medical Board OF that
state. He IS already very popular with the
guests at Rawley. and ,nat reminds me
that il Is aid that no woman is sane on the
subject OF her doctor, her preacher and
her sewing machine. How they SANDER the
gentle sex. The cuisine is far above the
average the bread and coffee both being
delicious. and the service good. The COM
pany here is delightful.
