from Lynden landing to the home
stead over the three and a half miles
of trail The great trees were slash
ed and it was considered fortunate if
the big cedars could be so felled that
they were splintered in such a man
ner as to burn easily.
Mr.. Berthusen is type, an ex-
ample Of those fortunate persons who
are gifted with the practical genius
to express themselves in work. He
is not peculiar in this. Most of the
pioneers in Whatcom County and
elsewhere were of that type. Other
wise they did not succeed. 1t is the
test of success under pioneering con-
ditions.
Wide hospitality freely offered was
ever characteristic of the pioneer. In
his beautiful park, opened to all who
come, Hans Berthusen expresses in
a striking way that generosity which
has ever been characteristic of the
race of pioneers.

BERTHUSEN PARK PRAISED
HIGHLY IN BELLINGHAM PAPER;

Has Berthusen and his beautiful
park are the subjects of an interest
| ing article written for the Bellingham
American-Reveille by Frank F. Eddy
of Bellingham.
The following are extracts from
the article as they appeared in the
Sunday Reveille:
A man who takes pains to clear
with his own labor the underbrush
and debris from half dozen acres of
beautiful forest, who places a cook
stove therein, digs we'll and equips
it with pump provides tables. seats,
swings and merry-go-rounds, and
things of that sort and then sends out
a general invitation to all the world
to come and enjoy it, is worth writ
ing up.
! Such a man is Hans Berthusen and
this small paradise of his is located
about three and half miles west of
Lynden in the heart of his big ranch.
The provisions for the comfort and
amusement of the guests were all
there to be noted. There was the
stove with the wood pile close by and
not far away the pump for the con-
venience of camper and picnicker. A
huge double-seated boat-like swing
was suspended by cables from four
trees and there was an ingenius mer-
ry-go-round swinging around a stub
with the seat swinging beneath
great out-stretched limb which was
jointed onto the stub in such man.
lner as to allow it to freely turn upon
it as an axis. There were tables and
seats large and small and one unique
table was a great double affair form
ed of mighty slabs split out of curved
cedar so that by using the natural
curve of the timbers a double table
was made which curved outward
around a kind of serving table made
of gnarled stump with cunning cup
boards and receptacles underneath in
which to stow dishes and provisions.
This beautiful park generously
made and freely offered to the service
of neighbors and friends, known and
unknown, it seems to me typifies true
hospitality that hospitality which
expands into public service. 1t is
surely a finer hospitality than that
more niggardly kind which most Of
us only extend to our own friends in
our own circle and often in a spirit of
debt-paying for civilities received or
expected from those same friends.
In the thirty-eight years since Mr..
Berthusen selected this particular
piece of land which was then located
away from all roads, many changes
have occurred in the environment.
He tells of packing his provisions in
from the landing at Lynden after they
had been conveyed from Bellingham
by Indians in canoes. 1t meant liter
ally packing for there was only trails
to follow. 1t took three men two
days to bring his first real cook stove
