The Arvada enterprise., 1910-10-07


or road tunnel cut from the solid
rock along the lake; there has
been SO much rain that there are
thousands of waterfalls, on one
slope l cohnted rs, some were
clear and beautiful others muddy
and turbulent. All the streams
are much swollen. fields are del
uged and | even saw water on
the floor of houses and coming
out from under the doors.
returned to Lucerne and left
at 4:04 for Zurick arriving at SAP
and such a time as l had to find
a room. A German and l went
together to at least IL hotels and
the answer to our inquiries was
allies besetd," all taken, but
finally through hotel we Sc
cured rooms at pr. vate house
and there l had to sleep on the
salon BUTT was very homelike.
Wednesday. After walking
about to see Zurick and its at
fractions, | left at 10:48 by train
to Romanshorn, then across lake
Constonce to Lindon in Germany.
AT one place | could see -bor=
dering on the lake the frontiers
of Austria, Germany and Swift
zerland.
From Lindon it is about three
and half hours run through
prosperous and beautiful coan-
try to, Munich.
AS soon as one reaches Ger
many he is struck by the business
and substantial industry of the
country.
Just outside of Munich l saw
for the first time real flying
machine, going rapidly too.
Trips are taken from here to a
nearby town and retnrn for $50,
| have no desire to go.
Thursday. | went by early
train to Innsbruck in the Austrian
Tyrol- 1t was a beautiful ride
through lovely mountains and
farming country.
expected to stay at Innsbruck
over night but did not come back
to Munich. There was a holiday
of some kind and everything
was closed, however l saw the
Tyrolean peasants in gala attire
and very odd they are too. The
women wear hats of black straw
or velvet narrow brimmed and
very queer, with two wide black
silk ribbons reaching clear to the
ground, they wear sort of gaily
colored vest and elaborate ap-
rons of embroidered silk or-satin.
The men, l think, were odder
looking, they wear little green
felt hats, short coats with collar
and buttons of different color,
velvet coats with brass buttons,
gaily colored silk scarf or n eek
tie, .leathern breeches not reach
ing to the knees and elaborately
embroidered, a queer sort of
embroidered woolen hose only |
around the calf of tide leg, then
you can see the knees and ankles
are bare. | have surely seen
some very queer types over here.
On the way from the train l
saw a number of young wild deer
in the fields near the woods, the
wild animals are so protected
that they have become quite
tame. On the lakes are lots of
half wild ducks, geese and swans;
| have never before seen a black
swan or a swan with black head
and neck and white body.
Friday. Munich is certainly an
attractive and beautiful city,
there are about 565, 900 inhabi-
tants; the buildings, public and
private, are fine looking and sub
stantial; there are some beauti-
full fountains and two handsome
arched gateways; the streets are
beautiful and so wide, one is 120
feet wide and nearly a mile long
and so made of asphalt that the
surface shines like marble and
they are very effective as the
night lights shine on them.
| have put in a very busy day
seeing all that | can possibly, as
/ go tomorrow afternoon on a
two and one half hours ride to
Oberammergan where | see the
Passion play Sunday, and Mon
day return to Munich and go di-
rect to Nuremberg for one day
then on to Dresden where l will
send a letter.
Today l visited the Royal pal
ace here of the kings of Bavaria,
very ordinary; then l went
through the royal library and a
very fine art gallery. | walked
for a long time while seeing love-
ly parks gardens, monuments, etc.
/ get pretty lonesome, especial
