The Fourth on a Great Mountain Peak.
MILAN, WASHINGTON, July Z, 1899.
EDITOR CENSOR: AS l read the let
tiers written by people who at some time
have been residents of old Vernon, in
the columns of the CENSOR, | feel as
though l would like to write a few lines
| about the Evergreen State" Milan is
in the northeast part of the state, "a
miles north of Spokane, by rail. Lumber
and wood are about the only industries
we have except a few small ranches.
Low land only is tillable. The upland
is good for nothing but grazing. My
self and three companions spent the
Fourth ON the summit of Mt. Carlton.
1t is better known here as 'Old Badly.
1t is the largest peak in this part of the
country. 1t is about Z, Oa0 feet above sea
level. Sixty-seven lakes can be seen
from the summit; also the Palouse and
| Big Bend countries, besides you get a
splendid birds-eye view of Spokane. The
climb is a hard but you are well re-
paid by the grandeur Of the scene that
lies before you ON reaching the summit.
In closing will say the the CENSOR is
an always welcome and quite regular
Sunday visitor. Respectfully yours,
w. M. MARSHALL.
