and remodeled, the grounds beauti-
fed, hot and cold sulphur baths con-
structed, fine bowling alleys added,
a perfect tennis court laid out and
telephone lines put up. And it was
in that day that the Truehearts came
from Texas, Bishop Law from New
York, and Mary Johnston, the famous
author Of ITO Have and To Hold,''
walked those paths and drank the
invigorating waters of White Sulphur.
The original hotel, with improve
ments. was destroyed by fire about
1907 and was never rebuilt.
I 1NTIL the time of the acquisition
of Lost River Park by the State
several years ago, there was little to
remind the casual visitor of the
beauty and Splendor that had once
attracted visitors from all sections of
the East. Yet, in its tragic decline.
its natural beauty made mute appeal
to those who had eyes to envision a
new recreation spot arising from the
ashes of the old.
Watoga, the largest Of West Vir-
ginia State parks, is characterized by
an unusually fine growth of young
forests and plant life so fine, in fact,
that a part of it has been designated
as an arbOretum. Babcock Park is
spectacular and majestic. for its very
center is cleft by mighty gorge from
whose depths rise, sandstone walls,
straight and sheer.
Unlike the mountain country of
Southern West Virginia, Cacapon
Park is composed of long, sweeping
ranges. affording splendid views of
the fertile valleys below.

condition, which stands near the
spring. 1t is believed that this old
house was built by Gen. Light Horse
Harry Lee about 1900, and it is said
that he spent many OF his Summer
vacations here.
AS A part of the original Lord
Fairfax grant, Light Horse Harry
Lee came into possession Of the
spring. or Howard's Lick, as it was
then known, by patent dated De-
cember 2, 1866 conveyed to him by
the Commonwealth of Virginia After
his death, in 1919, the land passed
into another generation of Lees, which
included that great military genius,
Robert E. Lee, who was a frequent
visitor to the spring. George r. Lee,
a nephew Of the Confederate general,
was the last member Of the Lee fam
lily to own this property.
From the beginning of the nine
tenth century Howard's Lick was a
famous watering place, where gath
cred the fair damsels of Virginia to
dance with the eligible young men of
that day. At that time there was a
hotel, said to have been built and
operated by Light Horse Harry.
An old pioneer of this section states
that his father, as a young man,
helped hew the logs for the hotel for
Gen. Lee. And this venerable gentle
man (old resident) describes the hotel
as he remembers 1t, saying it was d
two-story log building Of the chucked
and daubed type. 100 feet long and
side, with large chimney at each
end. with fireplaces at least 10 feet
across. Access to the upper story was
gained from a stairway on the double
porch in front
During The Civil War the property
was often used by McNeill's men as
resting place and halfway house
between the Valley of Virginia and
the South Branch Valley. But later,
as hostilities became general in the
South Branch Valley, many of the
residents of Moorefeld and vicinity
brought their families over the noun
tain and made refugee camp at
Howard's Lick.
After the war the property passed
into the hands of various operators,
each of whom made improvements
to the hotel and grounds, but the
greatest advancement took place in
1890, when the buildings were enlarged

to call it by this name, and it seems
to have been accepted by later gen.
erations.
A change in name came in 1851,
when Charles Carter Lee, son of Light
Horse Harry Lee, leased the property
to company for the privilege of
building cabins on it. IN this lease
the springs are designated as Hardy
White Sulphur Springs. Later the
place became known as Lees White
Sulphur Springs, a title it held until
two years ago.
AT this time the State of West Vir-
glnla began to develop the area as a
State park, and already in this forest
fastneSs are Is new, completely
equipped cabins, which may be rented
for periods of one to two weeks
throughout the season, which begins
in early Spring, lasting through Octo-
Der, weather permitting. All reserva-
tions for cabins should be obtained
in advance by writing the Conserva-
ton Commission, Division of State
Parks, Charleston, w. Va.
Rarely in a mountain cabin does
one find all the comforts of home,
such as hot and cold running water
and electricity. At every turn one
is entranced with the furnishings.
The lighting fixtures are handmade
and even the china is decorated with
the West Virginia State seal, and the
deer, pheasant. turkey and other ami
mails native to this section. The furni-
ture and the woolen and cotton cover
lets are reproductions of handmade
Colonial furnishings, such as were
used by the pioneers in log cabins.
Even in midsummer the evenings
are cool enough for fire, and fuel
is available for use in the native stone
fireplace which are an integral and
delightful feature of every cabin.
Here. at eventide. when the crickets
begin to- chirp and the whippoorwill
calls out in his plaintive note, one may
sit before the open fire and smoke and
read or just watch the dancing flames,
with no excuse to offer himself or
others-lazy and content in this. re-
spite from the hustling, hurrying,
worrying world he has left behind
and almost wishes he will never see
again.
In contrast to the new cabins is

Now Is the time to give the car

all the bolts and connections are

A little time and effort devoted to the

not only keep the car looking better,
but will make the finish last longer
and save money in the end.
Snow, rain and sun bring gradual
chalking Of the finish by fine erosion
or weathering. This changes the
smooth, glossy surface to one which
is rough, dull and dirty looking. The
roughness permits water absorption
which the smooth finish formerly re-

shortening the life of the finish. A
