July 20. 1908.
COMMUNICATED.
BOSTON, MASS,

July ", lJO5.
Dear Pa and All:
Well, you see we are not dead
yet, but settled in our rooms at
al, Union Park. After leaving
the Kent House, which was a
most delightful two days stay,
we reached Burlington, VT, on
the morning of the 9Th; from
there we crossed over the beau
tiful Lake Champlain for pic
mic in the Ausable chasm of the
Adirondac Mountains, which
is the oldest but most beautiful
place ever saw rock just in
layers that shoot up hundreds of
feet; the Ausable River rum
ming between these piles of rock.
We go up steps, then hang on
to a little iron railing, then go
down steps for over a mile. A
deep ravine cut through the
stones above you pass through
and we enter a boat where we
shoot the rapids for about half
a mile; some times you would
think you were standing on your
head, and again on your feet,
but we made it all right. After
reaching the other side we went
to the most lovely hotel where
we passed several hours, and on
returning to Burlington, Mr..
Allen gave us a banquet at the
Vanness House, the largest ho-
tel in the city. This was to be
our last meal together. After
the dinner, we went to a Club
house, our Conductor getting
permission for us. Here we re-
manned until train time, then
went to our car, which stayed
there all the time, as you remem-
Der we had our own conductor,
porter, &c. Here the crowd
presented Mr.. Allen a lovely
umbrella; our Conductor and
porter remained with us as we
had our special Pullman.
We all regretted that our trip
together was ended, for it was a
lovely, genial company, and the
journey had been very pleasant
and so much enjoyed together.
We reached Boston Friday
morning and went to our room
here about noon, and so tired
after ten days sight seeing we
went to bed Immediately and
did not rise until next morning,
then we concluded to spend the
morning at the Library while
we were resting. Here we run
on to Frank; he had heard we
were in the city and came here,
but found us out, but he tracked
up and found us here. We i'm:
mediatedly started out, and it
would be hard to tell where we
did no. go; being late when we
reached our room, we all had

luaeh in our own room, and Ind you
would have laughed could you
have looked in on US there.
Today, Sunday Miss Turner
and went to old Kings Chapel
Church and heard a very fine
sermon, then visited others; in
the afternoon we took in the
Art Gallery, and there found
painting by, | think, every ar
fist we have studied in our
homo club, and | tell you, | did
enjoy the sights; but say, the
finest thing of all, to me, is the
abby Room" in the Library;
it seems to me far ahead of Sar-
gent, but of course this room is
hardly commenced.
Tomorrow we meet Frank
at 8 a. M, and put in a full day,
and talk of going with him to
New York City on Wednesday.
1t is now raining, and awful
hot here just now. l may not
stay as long as | expected to. l
already have a big blister on one
foot, and expect one on the other
foot soon, but | must close.
Yours, &c.

DcES NORTH WESTERN
SEEK COAST TERMINAL?
Eumsr Says Surveyors Are In
Field aud Estimates Have
Been Made.
Theory Advanced NJ axes Portland
the Terminal.

AS time passes and the ties
binding the Northwestern and
Union Pacific become weaker,
the likelihood of the North
Western road building west to
a Pacific Coast terminus be-
comes more probable. News
dispatches from New York City
claim a surveying party has
been in the field, projecting a
line west from Casper, Wye,
the present terminus of the
North Western, through the
Rocky Mountains and eventual
ly to Portland, Ore. 1t has now
developed that the men are not
Gould men, but are Vanderbilt
men, and are making prelim-
mary surveys for the North
Western line from Casper to
the coast. The advice also states
that General Manager George
F. Bidwell, of the Nebraska and
Wyoming division of the North
| Western, who has been west for
his health, incidentally looked
over the preliminary surveys
while he was away. President
Hughitt of the North Western,
together with President Burt of
the Union Pacific, is in the west
and, while it is stated that he is
simply making a trip over the
Oregon Short Line with Presi-
dent Burt, it is thought the
main object of his trip is to look
over the proposed new line.
The telegram from New York
also states that the western
terminal of the road will be
built before the eastern end of
the line is built. The manner
in which General Manager Bid
well! handled the extension of
the road from Verdigree to
Bonesteel met with the APP
probation of President Hughitt,
and the report is that he is to
have charge of the western ex-
tension.

The ten o'clock lemonade

enjoyed. Delicious refresh

Crop Bulletin.

OlVp OultClIlbs
For week ending July 20,
Des Moines. The past week
afforded four or five days of
fine weather for haymaking and
harvesting small grain, and the
time was we'll improved. IA
large amount of we'll cured hay
has been put into stacks and
barns, and the quality of the
crop is generally up to the aver
age. The showers of the 18th
and 18th were timely and very
beneficial, except in limited
areas in the northern and east
ern districts, where damage re-
suited from heavy downpours.
In the southern districts the
showers were generally light
and in some places the surface
is becoming dry and hard. Tn
general condition of the corn
crop appears to be steadily i'm
proving, though the tempera-
ture for the week was slightly
below normal. A survey of the
fields will show unusual varia-
ton in size and appearance of
the corn plant, ranging from
twelve inches to the normal tas-
selling heighth, and it is evident
that extremely favorable wealth
er will be required to bring the
belated portion of the crop to
maturity.
Spring wheat and oats arc
affected by the rust, especially
the late seeded portions, and
the quality of the grain will be
somewhat impaired. The bar
ley harvest is we'll advanced,
and early seeded wheat and
oats are in Shock. Reports in
dictate that the early potato
crop is below expectations, be-
ing affected by blight and rot.
The apple crop seems to be
holding it's own, and the yield
of early fruit is good.
If you want people to know
of the advantages of your town;
if you want them to locate here,
trade here, visit here, live here
and die here, get out on the
street corner and tell them
what good town we've got.
Tell them about your churches,
your schools, your public i'm
provements, your substantial
business men, your large heart
ed, public spirited citizenship,
and last. but not least, don't
forget to tell them about your
newspaper. = Mapleton Press.
