A SWIFT TRIP Messrs. Charles F. and Sher-
man G. Swift left Belfast on the noon train
March 18th for trip to the Pacific coast and
arrived home Tuesday evening, April 18th.
Their itinerary, and the time allowed for sight
seeing at points of interest, illustrates the ra-
pidity and comfort of present day facilities for
travel. They left Boston March 14th the
hours were devoted to sightseeing, and then
left on the Santa Fe road direct for the Grand
Canyon of Arizona. Two days were spent
there. The next stop was at Redlands, Califor
MIA, where four former Belfast people were
met: Mrs Eva Burke and Miss Zaidie Carter
Mrs Bills and Mrs. Chapman, daughters of the
late John c. Frye. They enjoyed ride with
Mr. and Mrs. Bills, and found Redands very
delightful place. Their next stop was at Riv-
ersde, where they spent two days, stopping
at the Mission Inn, unique and most attrac-
tive hostelry. This is the home of Mr.. and
Mrs Anderson, former residents of East Bel
fast. who, seeing the arrival of the Belfasters
in the newspaper, went to the hotel but
finding them out left a note asking them to call
at the Anderson home, which was nearby.
They did so and had a very pleasant call Mrs.
Anderson said she would like to see snow once
more. Two days were very enjoyably spent
there. The next stopping place was Los An
geles, and from there they made many side
trips. They heard of Fred Barker at Pasadena
but did not see him. The next stop was at
San Francisco and going into breakfast the
morning after their arrival Mr.. Charles Swift
met Mr.. and Mrs Thomas B. Dinsmore and it was
a very enjoyable surprise to both parties. Mr..
and Mrs. R. P. Chase were then with the Co.
nants at Santa Barbara and were to ioin the
Dinsmores later. After doing the sights in
and around San Francisco, including visits to
Oakland, the Berkeley Institute, ETC., the tour
lists went to San Jose, where they met Col.
Philo Hersey and his sons Edward and Ralph
Col. Hersey was out at the prune ranch and
they went out by automobile and found him
painting the roof of a porch; but, as he said
and as was very evident to the visitors-he
had got more paint on his person and on his
clothing than on the porch. Swift says the
Colonel never looked better. A call was made on
Mrs Wight, widow of Rail- phi Wight, who is max
ing her home with her sister in San JOSE This is
also the home of FredW Angler passenger agent
of the Union Pacific and other TRANSPORTATION
companies, but he was out of the city on BUSH
ness and the visitors missed seeing him, much
to.their;regret, and his, for Fred has never lost
his love for Belfast, his native place, and Wis
itors from Belfast are assured of hearty well
come from him. Salt Lake city was next WIS.,
tied and the tourists say it was one of the
are 100 feet wide, laid out at right angles, and
smooth as floor, and there are many hand
some buildings. They visited the Tabernacle
and other points of interest and then left for
Denver. From there they went to Kansas
City, and having notified VIM. F. Bean by post
card of their coming he met them at the train,
gave them an automobile ride about the city,
took them to supper at his hotel, and after
showing them every attention possible saw
them off on the train that night. He urged
them to stay longer. but their Pullman berths
were taken and they continued their journey
home via St. Louis. 1t will be good news to
Mr.. Beans many friends that he is coming to
Belfast in May to spend the summer.
