BILL" HAWLEY OUT WEST
LIKES BADGER STATE BEST
Continued from page one)

July we drove from Billion to
Thompson's Falls, Mont. about ITO
miles, over some of the poe. est roads
of our entire trip. Sometimes the
road was only trail, but part of the
way was along the shore of Flat
heard lake. a very large lake, 100
miles around it. Most of the way
was through very thick timber and a
very beautiful drive. 1t resembled
a large park. We also passed
through mary numbering camps and
lumber mills.
Tuesday morning we left Thomp-
sons Falls over Cutoff" road to
hit the Yellowstone trail at Wallace,
Ida, and they should never call the
road cutoff road, they should block
it up entirely. We had to cross what
is called Burke's hill and it is some
hill. hope you realize what / mean
when say that this hill was five and
one-half miles long aid fifteen per

could not make it alone so | pushed

to let the car and myself cool off we
finally made the hill. To make this
five miles it took us one hour and 2
half, so you see it was no pavement
After entering Idaho we passed
through many lead, zinc and silver
mining towns. We also drove along
Cour d. Alene lake, very beautiful
drive and a numbering center. There
were thousands OF logs afloat in the
lake. That evening we arrived in
Spokane, having been in three states
that day; Montana. Idaho and Wash
ington.
Wednesday morning we looked over
Spokane, a very beautiful city, with
more fine homes and lawns covered
with beautiful flowers. Wednesday
afternoon we drove from Spokane to
Ellingsburg, Wash. over 200 miles
arriving about 800 so you can see
the roads were fine. We crossed the
Columbus river at Vartage Ferry.
We did not stop to catch any Salmon
but we were told that there were
masy to be had. This fer thte state
of Washington has been great dis
appointment to us, we expected to
see country like good old Wisconsin
but it is far from it, mostly all desert
country. covered with sage brush Only
here and there you can see a small
orchard. The land i very fertilel /
understand, but they have no way of
watering it.
They say that the people of the
coast are very loyal to their own
state but | am sure none could be
more so than we are. Every person
who talks to us we tell them of
wo derful Wisconsin, and say that #
we ever get back there we never will
leave it. We tell them we don't have
to pump our water thousand miles
to get crop. The Baldwin sign
representing the Biggest Little
Town in Wis. attracts great deal
of attention, everyone thinks il very
clever, AID it is surprising the num-
Der of people we meet who are from
Wisconsin. q don't see why they
ever left it for this count1y.) They
tell us we will see better country
along the coast but we have heard
that same story ever since we left
Minnesota.
Thursday / think was our most
beautiful drive of the entire trip from
Ellingsburg to Seattle. We passed
over the Cascade mountains, through
one of the Federal Forest reserves,
and the most wonderful forest | have
seen. The trees are all fir and cedar
and anything from 100 to 200ft. high
on, both sides of the road for miles

across. One thing we do have to
give to Washington is credit for their
wonderful roads. They are all gravel
or paved and just as smooth as a
floor. To get down off the noun
tains it is necessary to descend "by
a flight of winding hills" consisting
of letter rs" curves, So" curves
with few more curves added but it
was very beautiful drive. We ar
rived in Seattle about 400 Thursday,
put up our tent on the camping
ground, very fine one, with electric
lights and stoves, shower and wash
rooms, running water, dance hall
