One of the most enjoyable camping
parties of the season has just returned
from weeks outing at Silver Lake.
In the party were Mr.. and Mrs. H. B.
Howard, Mrs. F. J. Shubert, Mrs. Nc
Mahan and daughters, Lulu and Jessie.
Mr.. Howard took his yacht, the OlyTn-
pia, which furnished plenty of sailing.
The most delightful part of the affair
was the return trip which was accom-
plished entirely by water; across the
lake, through the inlet to the river then
down past the city to Soldier Greek and
up to Garfield park, a distance of about
twenty-one miles which was made in
six hours without accident.
