summer; the pure waters are a never
failing attraction, and as a matter of
economy the people of Arkansas should
contribute to the support of home in
stitutiors rather than outside ones,
especially when the same object can be
obtained. The journey from southern
Arkansas to Eureka Springs is enjoya-
BILE to home citizens as well as tourists
All the way from Van Buren, to the
Missouri line the scenery is interesting,
but after crossing q point near the
boundary line of Crawford county,
where the tourist cmerges from the
Bostou and the Mulberry ranges into
the valley lying between the Ozark and
Boston ranges, the situation is charm
ing. Indeed, all northwestern Arkan-
sas is picturesque-not what one expects
in the parks Of the Rock Mountains, or
but nevertheless picturesque.
All the country lying in the divide
between the Arkansas and the White
rivers, though in . valley, is in fact q
plateau of rolling land, hilly in some
parts and mountainous in others, with
intervals Of broad stretches of appar-
emily level surface. The tourist who
aliGhts from the cars at almost any
station between Fayetteville and Rog
ers. and makes hasty survey of the
outlying country, decides he is on low,
undulating land, but when he descends
to the level Of surrounding valleys he
discovers that he is 100 to 200 feet below
the level of the railroad bed.
The soil of this region is fertile, pro-
ducing fine crops of grain, grass and
vegetables, but fruit is the leading
feature. Both climate and soil are con-
genial to fruit development. Some of
the largest orchards in America are
found in this section, while large beds
of strawberries and small fruits are
cultivated, with a continuous increase
of acreage year after year.
Eureka Springs. the health resort of
northwestern Arkansas, known as the
''City of Cliffs and Gulches," is situated
In the northwestern part of Carroll
county, at the terminus of the Eureka
Springs railroad, a branch line extend
ing from Seligman on the Frisco. 1t is
twenty-three miles from Seligman to
Eureka Springs, and nineteen miles of
the route is in narrow gulch and deep

that the visitor who makes his first trip
