recent record-breaking trip made at
Sylvan Lake last week by Theo. S.
F1ittie of this city. While a guest at
the hotel at that mountain esort in
the Black Hills he made the climb
from the hotel to Harvey Peak and
back and was informed on his return
hat he had made about the shortest
time that it had been made in, taking
only three hours. Sylvan Lake which
is called the Switzerland of America"
because Of its rugged grandeur, has
an elevation of 5000 feet while Harvey
Peak, four miles distant, is the high
est peak east of the Rockies, towering
to the height of 5000 feet. Mr..
Flittie was "going some to make
the round trip in three hours. The
Black Hills, which is said to be in
South Dakota's back yard" should
be seen by all South Dakotans in pre-
ference to a distant trip, and all who
have toured the Hills say every visitor
should allot a stay Of several days il
possible to Sylvan Lake, while two or
three weeks may be spent there very
pleasurably.
