We arrived at Seattle little after
2 p. m. on the 18th, and were met at
the wharf by the genial A. j. Bleth-
en-, formerly owner Of the Minneapo-
lis Journal, and also the Minneapolis
Tribune. He extended cordial well
come to US, and under his guidance
we proceeded to see the town. We
were now in an American city, and
though we had been most royalty en-
tertained by our Canadian friends
and had learned to love them, never
theless we felt little more at home
the moment we set foot on American
soil and came under the protection of
the stars and stripes. First we were
given a street car ride to Lake Wash
ington and a delightful steamboat
ride on this beautiful fresh water lake,
in full view of the majestic Mount
Rainier, the king of mountains, whose
snowy summit pierces the clouds.
Later a street car ride was taken to
Queen Anne hill, the high est point i'll
Seattle, aud from there a fine view
was obtained of the city and sound.
Like Rome, Seattle is built on hills,
not seven, but rather seven times sew
en-, and some of them quite high, too.
It almost took our breath away to ride
on the cable cars up and down these
inclined planes. In the evening we
were given an elegant banquet at Ho-
tel Butler, one of the finest hotels in
the city. We must not forget to
mention the pleasant visit at the office
of The Daily Times, Mr.. Blethen's
paper, and which we hope will PROVE
even more profitable to him than his
Minneapolis papers were. He has a
fine newspaper plant.
Seattle appeared to be very lively
city. Business was said to be good
and labor in demand. When the
ships laden with Klondike gold begin
to return, and their coming was anx-
iously awaited, still greater impetus
to business is expected. After an
eventful day full of sight seeing we
retire to our coaches, which had been
brought down from Vancouver, and
by midnight begun the journey back
towards home. While we had enjoy.
ed ourselves immensely everywhere
still "there's no place like home.''
Many pleasant incidents occurred
on the home trip, but we shall not
attempt description. A stop Of sew
eral hours at BanH, the beautiful, was
an interesting feature. A bath in it's
celebrated sulphuretted waters was
very refreshing. This is a place,
which having seen, one hates to leave.
At Calgary we made stop and
were given a welcome that again at
tested the friendliness and hospitality
of the good people of Canada. All
elaborate programme of Indian races,
steer roping, and broncho riding had
been prepared for our special benefit
and enjoyment. 1t was quite sight
to see this medley throng of Black
foot and Sarcee Indians, in their
grotesque costumes, feathers and
paint, and only regret that a shower
of rain came to interfere with the
sports. Thanks to the people of Cal
gary. There are no flies on them.
From Moose Jaw the journey home
was made on the 500 road, arriving at
Minneapolis and St. Paul, where we
disbandea, in the forenoon of July
18th, having had a most interesting
and enjoyable trip, and travelled more
than 1900 miles.
