LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN WILL
ATTRACT REUNION VISITORS

Chattanooga, March 21.-(Special y
1t has been said that the richest as
set that Chattanooga has is historic
Lookout mountain, and the saying is
true Lookout mountain is really a
beauty spot in a land where scenic
Seauty abounds. And while this scenic
beauty cannot be excelled anywhere
on earth. Lookout mountain is also
probably the most historic eminence
in the world. 1t bears the marks of
many wars and carries on its tablets
the history of two races of people.
Lookout mountain was first hab-
atatIon of the Indians. as Indian relics
gathered on it's summit and sides clear
iy show. The Tennessee river got its
name from the Indians. The state of
Tennessee was named after the river.
In the Indian tongue the name signi-
flies spoon. Some historians contend
that Indians named the river from a
view they had of the stream from the
point of Lookout mountain. 81
The view from the point of Lookout
mountain is certainly one of the finest
IN America. Many people who have
travelled over the world declare that
there is nothing SO good in scenic
beauty in all Europe. Quite a number
Of European potentates and geniuses
have visited Lookout mountain and
their verdict is unanimous that the
view from Umbrella rock on the high
est point of the mountain is unex-
relled.
Looking to the west from the point of
the mountain the spectator sees
blue line of mountains of almost equal
altitude. These are Raccoon and Sand
mountains in Tennessee and Alabama.
Following the blue line of these noun
tains to the north the vision crosses

I The famous battle of Lookout noun
| tain, known as the Battle Above the
Clouds" was the first skirmish in the
| fighting around Chattanooga in Sep
tember, 1858. This battle was fought
on bench of the mountain some dis
tance below the summit The conflict
ragged with the greatest energy around
the Cravens house. This house is in
the center of the battlefield and is
preserved today in practically its orig
inal form. Several handsome monu-
ments have been erected on this field
The Confederates to the number of
1900 to $500 held the position and were
engaged by the federals. 10000 strong
as the latter came around the point of
the mountain from the west. During
the battle a cloud passed over the
bench of the mountain, enveloping the
combatants and from this incident the
engagement has been since known as
the Battle Above the Clouds" No
fighting took place on top of the noun
tain. A detachment of Confederates
| occupied the summit of the mountain
early in the engagement. but evacuated
the point at nightfall. The next morn
ing detachment Of federals assembled
to the top of the mountain but the
Confederates had retreated into Geor-
gia.
Lookout mountain is reached from
to st. Elmo, and from there to the
top of the mountain by the best incline
railway in the world.
This incline is constructed on a
straight line from .lthe base to the
| summit and has two commodious and
handsome cars drawn by two steel
cables Electric power Is used and most
modern safety appliances have been
installed to guard against accidents
However, in its more than 90 vears of
operation this incline road has had no
line on top of the mountain that con-
veys the tourist to all points of in
| terest.
| The federal government has erected
the point of Lookout mountain into a
national park or reservation. The state
of New York has erected In the midst
of this park a handsome monument
that cost more than 100000. Historical
tablets are conveniently placed, upon
which the visitor may read the history
of Lookout mountain in war A bill
Is pending in congress authorizing the
building of a suitable memorial hall or
lodge in Point Park. as this reservation

department and will be passed by Con-
gress at the next session.

point of much interest to the veterans
when they assemble here in their twen-
| ty-third reunion, May 27-29, and in or
der to supply ample transportation IA
cilities a trolley line Is being construct
ed to the top of the mountain which
will be completed for the reunion. This
