FROM MAINE.
Former Audrain Coun-
ty Lady Writes an In
=. teresting Letter.


II has been quite a while since
last ] wrote the MESSAGE. The
continent lies between my present
location and the past, for | only
recently left Southern California
and traversed the western coast to
Seattle where took the steamer.
Princess Victoria, for Vancouver,
via Victoria. which was n very
pleasant trip. escaped what |
most feared-sea.s sickness.
will not try to tell You of the
many interesting places l visited
on this route except one, which l
shall always remember, and that is
Shasti Springs, on Mt. Shasti,
which | found so fascinating that
with difficulty tore myself from
the place with only a bottle Of the
Shasti water and some views to re-
mind me of my visit there.
AT Vancouver visited Stanley
Park with its gigantic trees and
birds, and animals. that I never
saw in the States. / started from
there on the Canadian Pacific
across the great Rockies, pas t
snow aud large glacier, lakes,
Edwards Canyon, around the great
Loop and then out on the gre at
prairies where deer and droves of
horses are feeding. visited the
twin cities, Port Arthur aud Fort
William, where | saw the largest
elevator in the world. Lake Supe-
rior. the largest fresh water bod y
in the world, and the Current Riv-
er Falls, and last, but not least, a
Lacrosse game chase which is a
royal sport Of the English people.
Ny trip took me on thru Ottawa
where / got a good view of the
Parliament House just at sunrise,
next to Montreal, where | explored
the mysterious and beautiful apart
ments of the great cathedral there.
| crossed over into the U. =. at 8
p. IN. on Saturday, June 6. having
Travelled in King Edwards domin-
ions just one week. Since leavin &
Missouri l have travelled extensive
ly-was in Pres. Diaz's territory
twice. I completed my trip across
the country from south to north
and from west to east when !
reached Portland, Miane, a trip
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
in one week.
BY the way, / have not written
the MESSAGE since changed my
name, which will be a year next
month since l was married to VIM
7. Faulkner of Lewiston, Me-,
hence my present situation. For
the benefit Of inqniring friends in
Audrain and schoolmates who may
have lost me in the wild aud WOOL
ly west, / will say my husband
was only a schoOlboy when we
were married, still under control
of q guardian, aud for that reason
we have resided in the West mp to
the present time, when / came
East to spend the summer with his
mother and get acclimated before
the winter sets in.
My husband returns the lst Of
August and his mother plans tC
give as a reception on our return
from Boston, as l expect TO meet
him there, and we will visit thai
city aud come home by boat. He
starts to college in September on q
three years course in civil engi'
neering at Orono, the State Uni
versity. I shall be with him thiI
winter, aud l mean to have The
Message when we get settled, too
so win bring this to a close, with
best wishes.
