Few people are perhaps aware OF
the magnificent view OF the City OF
Little Falls tllatsis afforded from the
tower of Hotel Buchanan. It's site
possesses much natural beauty and
ated on the Buchanan lookout tits
all presented to the eye. The Miss
issippi, falling over the dam. and then
rushing between fringes of trees on
either side, It's waters glistening in
the sun and seen thronglt green
foliage forms a picture Of beauty.
Turning around and looking
across the city one sees to the north
east and within the city limits "a
towering bluff, known as Hole-in--
the-Day bluff, and named after a
noted Indian chief who is buried
there. The bluff is a picturesque one.
and besides there is a bit of romance
connected with it. Hole-in-the-Day
was chief of the ChippeWas and a
powerful one, but he was not able to
Withstand the accidental falling on
him OF a barrel OF whiskey which he
was transporting to his Migwam
for use, and hence died and was
buried amid the scenes Of beauty.
which he loved SO well, and where he
and his Chippewa subjects had de-
lighted to dwell. The same natural
beauty which charmed the untu-
tered savage still remains, and to
this natural picture civilization has
added much. Across the city oppo-
site Hole-in-the-Day bluff may be
seen the entire plant Of the Pine Tree
Lumber company which saws lum-
Der enough in a single season to
build fence around the globe, and
it's new mill is the largest and has
the most approved appliances Of any
on the globe. By night when it's
electric lights are burning the scene
from the Buchanan tower is grandel
still. Night there is Transformed in.
