To her surprise, the Prairie and EN-
pire state of the west was more pictu.
rescue than she anticipated, this being
her first trip into the interior OF the
state. No wonder for she passed
through the garden part of the state
over the Rock Island railroad which
takes in the splendid valley of the
Illinois, and the high and richly cult
waited bluffs on either side. Miss
Phillips speaks of Peoria as large
and beautiful city. 1t is splendidly
situated, on the Illinois river, which
opens at this point into lake. Back
of the city are the -1-gniticent bluffs
beautiful with fine residences; and SC
the city, with its parks and drives, and
well paved streets, large bushes:
houses and great factories and rail
road systems, show clearly, beyond
dispute, tha. it is the second city il
the state.
