course was down the river to Halo

AS had been anticipated by many,
the race was between the Wcllman
boat and the craft owned by Mr. Fl

by Il difficulty with the engine. The
race continued in this order to Halo

FROM SPRINGFIELD MO.

DEAR ToPsY; Perhaps our ex-
perience and observations may be
fof some use and interest to your
family and our many friends there.
In view of a visit among the Ozark
mountains, seeking rest and health,
we rather preferred the shortest
route, so resolved to secure our
health certificates and travel by
way of Memphis Thus prepared
we were ready for any experience
the red badge or strict rules OF
the M, & O. to Humboldt, where
we passed inspection with another
blue coated health officer over the
l.. & N. However, some of our
fellow travellers were not so for
tunate. The first victim we no
ticed,a contractor from Kentucky,
stepped off the L. & N. at Hum
boldt to fill an engagement, but
was promptly hustled back as he
had no certificate. No plea of ig-
norance avalled.
On to Brownsville through Hay
wood County to Arlington, where,
through some mysterious agency,
about two dozen persons of both
sexes and various ages, including
the unIucky contractor, were
helped to the ground opposite the
depot and placed under guard un-
til health certificates could be Sc
cured. So strict were the rules
that fruits, papers or books were
not passed through the cars. Cir
culars were distributed by local
authorities informing all parties
that "No fruits of any sort could
brought in Haywood County from
any infected Southern city, or any
that become infected, and that ba-
nanas from any Southern city, or
any point on earth, until further
notice, could be brought in Hay
wood County" This is sample
of the rigid quarantine enforced
along the railroad routes. All
passengers on the train were made
to display health certificates and
give an account of where from and
what point bound for by health
officers on nearing Memphis.
If stopping In Memphis or going
through, your ticket must be
stamped at the depot, where you
are required to show your health
certificate before entering or leav-
ing the gates. Now we were in
Memphis. The streets were filled
with the same busy rush. To an
observer business seemed as brisk
as ever. Our west bound train
had been gone two hours SO we
telephoned to relatives in the SUI
burban district, resting one day
and night in this beautiful Bluff
City.
The common mosquito is there,
but heroic efforts are being made
in the way OF cleansing, disinfect-
ing, fumigating, cutting weeds
from vacant lots and a free use of
lime and coal oil. This is not et-
fected by circular or invitation,
but by compulsory methods, Off
GERS personally inspecting all cor
ners, arresting any contrary party
and in all things enforcing the
sanitary laws Of the city. Scaven-
ger wagons continually travel the
streets and back premises remov-
ing all vegetable or refuse materi-
al ordered placed within reach.
The principal streets are drenched
daily and new street cars just put
on are models of comfort and won
drously neat and clean. Surely
that Queen of South and West
Tennessee will escape the dreaded
scourge of yellow fever if vigi-
lance and faithful work can have
due effect.

read of the quarantine being more
strict, visitors not being allowed
to stop off at any point in the city.
1t may be of interest to outside
friends or relatives to know that
everything possible is being done
to protect health and property
within the city limits
On Saturday, August 4, with
the mercury at 80 and above, one
Of the hottest days of the season,
we continued our journey over the
Frisco northwest to Springfield,
Mo. The river breeze se,sned de-
lightful while we waited on the
bridge for the Arkansas State
Guards to cross question each pas
senger and examine the health GER
tifcate of each officer and passen-
ger from the engine to the Pull
man. At that date fruits, papers
and books were sold on the train.
Once over Bridge Junction and
through with health officials our
train rolled through the fertile
valley where corn and cotton are
fast maturing. Where the picka-
ninny and his nanny may be seen
enjoying their favorite crops of
watermelon, canteloupe and roast
ing ears. Where gardens grow
with less attention from the hoe
than in any other State. Where
railroads are rushing through
counties where only a few years
ago we heard the swish.of the light
canoe or the crack of the teamsters
whip. "On a Slow Train Through
Arkansas" is indeed a joke for
signs of progress are in such evi-
dence.
Forests primeval are fast yield
ing their treasure to capitalists.
Towns are springing up on ridges
where the famous mosquito with
other insects and animals roamed
at leisure. On this road is the
busy little city of Jonesboro where
many families from Western Ken
tucky have lately removed.
Near the Northern line the hills
rise in view with familiar crops of
wheat. We saw many threshers
in the fields. All crops are re-
ported in fine condition. We ran
along clear stream over one hun
dred miles called Spring river.
At Thayer, mountain resort, the
train stopped for dinner. Like
many other towns along the way,
the foliage, tropical plants and
fountain resembled pictures of
Florida. West Plains, Willow
Springs, Mountain Grove, the air
getting cooler as we assembled the
sunny hillsides of the Ozarks un-
til near sunset when we gained the
highest point, Cedar Gap, 1900
feet above sea level. Here Mem
phis people find safe and pleas
ant refuge In good old-fashioned
country style. Here is climate
for hay fever, asthma and all
throat or lung troubles. We could |
write more of this place, as we
expect to visit there later. Pass
ing through hundreds Of acres of
fruit trees loaded with the finest
of fruit of all kinds and surround
ed by mountain scenery we arrived
at Springfield, city Of about 80,
900 inhabitants with a radius of II
miles within the corporation. The
highest degree of heat has reached
90. The nights are very pleasant.
To visitor the place seems city
of beautiful homes. Riding and
driving is the pastime Of all ages,
many ponies being used by the
children.
Springfield lies 2s2 miles north
west Of Memphis and 230 miles
west OF st. Louis on direct route
from either point. Much could
be said about the commercial and
financial interests of this city, but
