BEST RESORT IN THE HILLS.

Saturday the editor of The EXPIRES,
and his family left here for Sylvan Lake
where they were the guests of Landlord
Carroll. Saturday was splendid day
for the trip, as it was very warm until
= the visitors reached the timber, then the
beauty of being in the Black Hills was
favorably brought to our attention.
The Burlington train was on time and
the passengers for the Lake were met
with autos and whirled away to the lake.
Passengers arrive at the Carroll hostelry
in time for a short stroll before dinner,
and they have appetites that need lot
to satisfy. The fare at the hotel fills
this long felt want and after half an
hour spent in the dining room, the
guests feel at peace with all the world.
After dinner the lake is visited and
one Of the numerous boats that abound
there is taken out and spin over the
clear, CLASSY waves is much enjoyed.
Tired of the strenuous work the boats
can be guided to shaded places and a
complete rest taken. Flowers, ferns and
all kinds of vegetation grow here in
profusion and the visitor can revel in
botanical specimens of the finest kind.
The string of donkeys is always pres
ent and they carry you up to the sum
init of Harney Peak the grim, silent
guardian of the steepes. This trip takes
about half day and is somewhat of a
strenuous stunt, but it is religiously
taken by the visitors.
Not wishing to make the trip there
are little by paths that lead the visitor
into shady hooks and caverns that all
tend to pass most comfortably a hot
weather spell.
In the evening there is dancing in the
pavilion. The finest music is always
present and there is a crowd every
night that enjoys the little gatherings of
friends and while the time away in
dancing.
The rooms are splendidy furnished,
as clean as they can be and every COM
fort is present all the time to make the
guest feel that it is good to be there and
make him wish that his time to stay
there was indefinite.
Meals are served at regular hours and
are served family style and there is
always plenty in sight. Mr.. Carroll be-
lieves in his guests having all they can
eat, and he has cook that can serve
the meals in splendid shape. For a
place to take rest cure there is no place
like Sylvan Lake. Everyone who comes
there Is imbued with the idea of making
everyone else happy and it soon be-
comes big family. The shade of the
hotel is such that it is always possible
to get into the cool and this makes it
the ideal place to while away the time
and get the rest cure completed. 1t is
possible to take the strenuous life.
There are mountains to climb, cliffs to
scale and all kinds of stunts for the
strenuous inclined visitor, but the ma
jority like to just wander round and
take in the smell of the pines and row
on the lake, making life there happy
one in all respects. The trip to Custer
is through woods and wales and one to
be enjoyed at all times.
We were heartily welcomed at the
Lake hotel by the host and his wife and
We can truthfully say We certainly had
the time of our lives, and the kindness
and hospitality shown US during the two
days we were present will not soon BIZ
forgotten and it was only that our bust
ness called US home that the visit was
SO soon ended, as we had the most press
ing invitations given us to stay as long
as we liked and they would take good
care of us all the time.-Edgemont Ex-
