prISlng CITY OF BROWNSVILLE, which
we 50 often read about.
Arriving mt Grangevillc one of the
drivers, wishing to appear very
accommodating and if possible to
distinguish himself before the la
dies, made sundry purchases of
candy, nnts, lemons, tin-cups. etc,
etc. Leaving Grangeville we trav-
eled through beautiful plateau,
with fields of grain and meadows
green upon each side of the road
and lovely farm residences here
and there, surrounded by orchards
and shade trees-all of which were
very enticing to the eye.
Arriving at the top of the Clear
water grade the ladies of course be-
gan to ask, ais the hill very steep ?
How far is it to the bottom Oh
what q horrid hill, we will walk,
we will" Carefully and prayer
fully we descended the mountain,
with no serious accident. We
should judge the ladies were never
used to travelling mountain roads,
but were always used to smooth
and level roads, similar to Rocky
Canyon or Moscow" roads. both
of which are noted for their level
ness.
At the foot Of the grade we cross
ed the Clearwater bridge and there
to our left stood the magnificent
and imposing structures of River
side. To our right and only Il few
yards distant, was the city OF
Brownsville, which at present con-
sists of about 700 feet of lumber
(neither rustic nor cciling) piled in
a triangular shape upon a ten acre
lot.
We drove through Riverside and
as we turned into Grand avenue
we were approached by the genia'
proprietor and sole owner of Riv
erside; who informed us as to the
merits and business advantages O
Riverside, and he quietly in
formed us that if we wished to in
vest in city property or purchase {
summer resort, he could and would
cheerfully wait upon us, also where
the fishing grounds were, only two
miles distant-below Riverside il
Sally Ann river. Not wishing t.
invest in city property or purchase
a summer resort, we returned t.
the bridge, where we carefully anC
earnestly gazed upon the city o
Brownsville, but saw no attractiv,
Or interesting features.
We found a lovely spot on tn,
river side, where the ladies ncatl,
spread out the contents of tn,
lunch basket. While we were par
taking of the refreshments som,
one yelled "Snakes - Well, JUS

will know-or rather you can Sc,

After dinner we visited the larg,
China garden, consisting of abou
60 yards square, which contains
very nice vegetables and such love
ly blowers" too.
