Mt. Sterling, Ky.
My Dear Sirs:
1t is again great pleasure to
relate through my home papers
something of my valuable and in
teresting experience with DIR.
Snyder which | enjoyed so much
since | wrote my last letter from
Boston, Mass, som stime ago.
We stopped in Boston for a
week and among many places of
historic interest which / saw
there I wish to mention
the Bunker Hill monument
erected on Bunker Hill in
commemoration of the battle
fought on June 18th, TVS, which
was fought by the thirteen Brit
ish colonies, which ended with in
dependence and which became
the thirteen original States. The
origin of this battle was brought
about through the heavy taxes
vested upon these colonies by
Great Britain without representa-
tive government.
These thirteen States are the
birth of our great nation.
I also wish to mention the
beautiful Boston harbor which |
sailed on several occasions, max
ing trips to Revere Beach and
Nantasket Beach, popular sum-
mer resorts of Boston.
On Saturday, July 25th, we left
for Fall River, Mass, and board
ed Steamship Pricella of the Fall
River line for New York, which
is delightful sail. On our way
the boat stopped for an hour at
the beautiful summer resort,
Newport, R. 1.
On Sunday, July Goth, we arriv-
ed at New York, my second visit
to the metropolis of our country.
In the morning we attended the
services at the High Episcopal
church, "St. Mary, the Virgin >
and motored in the afternoon
along the Hudson river, on the
way we stopped at Grants tomb,
which is a great and historic
sight. From the inside of the ro-
tunda we looked down upon the
bronze collins cemented in a SUI
pulchre which hold the bodies of |
General Grant, ex-President of
the United States, and his wife. |
Later in the afternoon we went to
Hoboken, N. J., through the sub
way under the East River. At
Hoboken I visited the ocean
steamer Rotterdam" of the Hol-
land-American line, which sails
between New York and Rotter-
dam and New York and vice
versa. This steamer l shall never
forget as it was the first Atlantic
steamer I ever saw, and to name
it correctly | would call it the
Floating Palace.
On Monday night, July 27th,
we arrived in Philadelphia again
where we took good rest before
leaving on our Western tour.
While at Philadelphia I attended
many fine theatres and had sew
eral rides on the subways to

lake.
On Wednesday, August 10th,
we left for the Twin Cities, Min
neapolis and St. Paul, Mimi,
where we took many drives and
visited several beautiful parks
and the well known Minnehaha
Falls, sheltered under beautiful
trees, offering the visitor inspira-
ton and repose.
On Friday night, August 2rst,
we left Minneapolis for Omaha,
Neb., where we arrived the fol-
lowing day, and remained for a
week, until Saturday, August
goth. During my stay in Omaha
/ had dandy time, visiting many
friends with DIR. Synder, enjoy
ing many automobile rides and
fine plays. Omaha has a popula-
ton of about 100000 and is a
great commercial city of the Mid
die West, surrounded by excel
lent farm lands which produce
every year large crop of wheat
and barley.
On Saturday afternoon, August
2oth, we boarded "a Burlington
sleeper for Denver, Colo, where
we arrived on Sunday, August
goth. Upon arrival we ate our
breakfast and then we attended
the services in the beautiful Epis
copal Cathedral of St. John and
met Dean Hart of the Cathedral,
a very impressive speaker, before
leaving.
In the afternoon we rode to the
city of Golden, Colorado, former
ly the capital of Colorado, about
twenty miles southwest of Den
yer, situated on the foot hills.
Upon arrival there we boarded
mountain train and assembled
Cliff Rock, which afforded
great sight, the mountains rising
in the distance. The following
day, Monday, August 3Ist, we
took in the sights of Denver, the
beautiful city of homes, with
population of about 100000. In
the evening we left for Colorado
Springs and Manitou, where we
stopped at the Wallace" with
picturesque view of the noun
tains from our windows within
short walk from the foot of Pixies
Peak. Anyone who desires to
make a trip to Manitou can never
make mistake in stopping at
the Wallace Cottage. Anyone
stopping there feels at home and
in addition can enjoy home COM
forts at moderate prices.
1t certainly is some experience
to a boy to go to Pixies Peak and
to take railroad ride above the
clouds, wonderful indeed, and I
shall never forget that sight from
the observatory of that famous
mountain, I4,I47 feet above the
seal However, there are higher
peaks in the Rocky Mountain
range, but there is no accessible
elevation on earth that affords
so extended a range of vision or
view so varied and inspiring as
that from the summit of Pixies
Peak.
On November 18TH, 1906, when
Major Zebulon M. Pike, a gal
liant soldier and a daring adven-
turer, then heading a small ex-
ploring party of United States
soldiers, cited the mountains

distant upon the plains, it cost
him ten days marching to reach
its base, and after vigorous ar-
tempts to scale it, Pike abandon

fort was removed from Mnck1noc
City in 1850 after the close Of Pom
tiac's conspiracy and the stone
block houses erected at that time
are still in a natural state. The
fort commands the harbor and the
entire straits. Then we saw Skull
Cave, where the fur trader, Alex
lander Henry, was hidden away by
some friendly Indians at the time
OF the massacre of 1868. Mackin-
&C Island has 400 residents who
live there the year around. while
the summer population averages
from ten to twelve thousand.
While at Mackinac Island we made
side trip to Petoskey and Harbor
Springs, popular summer resorts
in Northern Michigan.
On Sunday, August 18th, we
boarded Steamship South America,
sister ship of the Steamship North
America, for Duluth, MINI. Two
hours after we left Mackinac Is
land our boat entered the st. Ma
RVS River changing from lake to
winding river, trip of fifty miles.
While sailing the St. Mary's River
we passed many large freight
steamers and at times the passage
was so narrow that we had to slow
up and keep behind other boats
until wider place was reached
where we could pass.
On Sunday night about nine
O'Clock, we found ourselves in sight
of the Twin Cities of the Ameri
can and Canadian, 800" where
we visited the magnificent United
States and Canadian canal locks.
about goo feet in length and
where still larger lock is now
in course of construction.
Lake Superior is about twenty
feet higher than Lake Huron
and Lake Michigan and our boat
had to be raised eighteen feet
and six inches on the night we
passed through the locks. 1t was
a great sight, especially when our
boat was lifted to the level of
Lake Superior and the locks op-
ened. About eleven o'clock we
pushed into the greatest body of
fresh water-"Lake Superior
on our way to Fort William,
Canada.
On Monday noon, August 18TH,
we passed Isle Royale and Sight
Thunder Cape, which rises to
height of 1900 feet and stands
guard over the sleeping giant at
the entrance to Thunder Bay.
We arrived at Fort William on
the Canadian shore at three
o'clock in the afternoon. Fort
William is a city of wonderful
opportunity, on account of its To-
cation at the head of the Cana
dian navigation and with, inn
mense grain elevators it is des-
tined to become one of Canada's
greatest cities.
After leaving Fort William our
course was along the north shore
of Isle Royale, with its towering
cliffs rising mountain high from
the waters edge.
We arrived at Duluth on Tues
day morning, August 18th, hav-
ing ended trip on the Great
Lakes never to be forgotten.
Duluth, MINI. is another beau
tiful city, with a population of
about 10000 people. There we
visited the Incline" the aerial
bridge, so called the rolling ele-
vator bridge'-the only one in
the woodland drove along the

parks and woods in and around
the city.
On Saturday, August Ist, we
left on Pennsylvania Railroad for
Buffalo, N. Y, where we arrived
the following day and renamed
for week. Buffalo is another
fine commercial city, situated by
the inland sea, Lake Erie, with
beautiful streets and parks.
While at Buffalo we made sew
eral trips to Niagara Falls. !
shall never forget those wonder
full sights of the American aud
Horseshoe Falls, the great whirl-
pool Rapids, the wonderful
Gorge, the magnificent scenery,
and then the trip on the Steamer,
"The Maid of the MIST" CARRIED
in heavy raincoats and caps,
when we sailed close along the
Falls, blinded at times with the
misty spray of its rolling waters
and deafened by its roar into the
river below. And( then those
beautiful rainbows almost cir
cling around, rejecting like a
beautiful stone in the sunlight.
Another great sight is the steel
arch bridge spanning the Niaga-
ra River a few hundred feet be-
low the Falls, which unites the
American side with Canada. 1t
certainly is sight never to be
forgotten.
On Saturday, August 9Th, we
boarded Steamship North Ameri-
can of the Duluth and Georgian
Bay Transit Company for Mack
mac Island. This has been most
delightful trip, the days were sun,
ny and the breezes of the lakes
refreshing and exhilirating.
On Sunday, August 9th, our
boat stopped at Detroit for three
hours, and from there proceeded
through the Detroit and st. Clair
Rivers, then past the st. Clair Cut
Canal, about mile in length. The
scenery is most beautiful, especial
ly on the st. Clair fats-clubhous-
es, private residences, hotels and
lighthouses lining the short or small
islands.
On Sunday night we entered
Lake Huron and on Monday morn
ing, August 10th, upon awakening
we found ourselves among the is
lands of Lower Georgian Bay, ar
irving at noon at Owen Sound,
Ontario. where we stopped for
four hours, a city of fine homes,
excellent hotels, good streets, at
tractive drives and perfect sum-
mer climate. After leaving Owen
Sound our steamer pushed for
Mackinac Islands, Mich, where
we arrived on Tuesday, August
18th, early in the morning.
Convenient of access, delightful
ly situated, environed with great
natural beauty and rich in histor-
ical facts, Mackinac Island claims
first place among the summer re-
sorts of the Great Lakes. No
place offers such inducements for
complete change, rest and quick
upbuilding of both mind and body
as this far famed spot.
Mackinac Island is situated IN
the Straits of Mackinac between
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron:
with Lake Superior only a short
distance to the North. Its maih
plateau is $50 feet above the level
of the lake and the highest point
reaches $3.50 feet. 1t is aksi his
toric ground as the island played
an important part in the early his
tory and settlement of the Great
Northwest. Abandoned Fort
Mackinac is an excellent place of
preservation on the heights over
looking the town and harbor. We
have taken several drives from
Mackinac Island. the most inter-
