as the eye could see extended the gray
ice-held, its great hummocks rearing their
heads like miniature mountain peaks.
The bridges were as cobwebs across n
brook, and the grimy buildings on either
bank made faint mental pictures OF forest
trees. The fee banked up under the
bridges. and the clouds OF white smoke
from the locomotives drawing the cross

ranges and volcanic peaks IN a state OF
active eruption. Far out over the low
lands on the further bank Of the river
were peaceful lakes cleaning in
the light their banks fringed with trees.

holder. There was about it all even a
wild beauty that pleased the aesthetic
sense. There was absolute harmony:
the snow was everywhere. the ice ruled
the river-the great pack. the towering
gorge, the rearing hummocks were all
in the picture that attracted thousands.
