MISS DOROTHY LEE
DESCRIBES EXCURSION TRIP
The following is a very interesting
account of the Cornhusker Excursion
of which Miss Dorothy Lee was a
member:
The second annual Cornhusker Va
cation Tour, (of which I was one «f
168 tourists,) sponsored by The Ne
braska Farmer, in co-operation with
the Chicago & Great Western, Great
Northern and Canadian National
Railways, departed from Omaha on
Sunday evening, August 10th, for a
two week’s sight-seeing tour of 6,000
miles in the Pacific northwest.
The party traveled in an all-Pull
man special train and the conducted
tour was most satisfactory to all, as
everything was first class and every
detail was cared for, so each one
might enjoy the vacation to the full
est extent.
Duluth, Minnesota, the first stop,
was reached Monday morning and
proved a very interesting city, with
its docks and ships, large United
States steel works, many nice parks
and enormous rock homes built from
the native rock. Luncheon was serv
ed the party at the New Duluth Ho
tel, where the president of the Cham
ber of Commerce greeted us and
briefly told the interesting facts
about the city and Lake Superior.
After luncheon we were taken by bus
for a sight-seeing trip which includ
ed a drive along the north shore of
Lake Superior and over the Boule
vard Drive, some ten miles along the
top of the hills where one could get
an excellent view of the city and
lake.
i uesuay was spent in w inmpeg,
the capitol city of Manitoba, Canada,
a prosperous city with beautiful rock
gardens surrounding their elaborate
homes. The sight-seeing trip by
auto included views of the Provincial
Parliament building and artistically
decorated parks. A splendid view of
the city was had from the roof of
the Fort Garry hotel, where we were
served breakfast and luncheon.
We also visited old Fort Gary, of
which the walls and heavy doors are
still presered and are now vine-cov
ered. V
Wednesday morning a few hours
were spent at Saskatoon, Saskatch
wan, with a trip to the large Agri
cultural College University grounds
and the Dominion Forestry farm.
Wainwright was reached in the after
noon and the party were taken to the
Buffalo National Park, covering 197
square miles. There we saw large
number of buffalo, elk, yak and deer.
The park has been left in a natural
stage and (5,000 buffalo are roving
there. Many motion pictures of buf
falo hunts are made at Wainwright.
Jasper was reached early Thursday
morning and large, red, open-air
autos were awaiting our party and
we were transported to Jasper Park
Lodge for breakfast. To many this
was the most beautiful spot, the
lodge grounds being landscaped with
picturesque rock terraces, innumer
able flowers of mammoth size, var
iegated colors and species, all at the
shore of the mirrored Lake Beauvert,
reflecting snow-capped mountains on
every side. A trip was made u p
through the Athabasca Valiey to Mt.
, Edith Cavell, where many of us walk
ed up to the famous Glacier of the
j Angels. Mt. Edith Cavell is over
11,000 feet above sea level and was
named after a martyred English
nurse of the World War.
On the route from Jasper to Van
couver, British Columbia, we stop
ped for a view of the snow-capped
Mt. Robson, 12,972 feet above sea
level, the highest peak of the Canad
ian Rockies. We traveled along the
Miette River, across the Continental
Divide and thence along the Fraser
river.
aaiuruay mornmg, arriving iu
Vancouver, B. C., Canada's chief sea
port on the Pacific coast—a trip was
made over the city, where the most
beautiful homes, gardens, parks and
trees imaginable were seen. The mild
climate and long growing season are
taken advantage of by the residents
of Vancouver and they beautify their
homes and parks as to seem unreal.
After luncheon at the Georgia Hotel
the party went on board the new S.
S. Prince David, a large steamship
of the fleet operated by the Canadian
National Railways in coastal passen
ger and package freight service. The
ride on the ship was one of the most
enjoyable features of the trip for me
as many of us explored the ship from
top to bottom. After a short stop at
Victoria we were served dinner on
board and arrived in Seattle at 10:30
Saturday night. Upon entering the
city nearly surrounded by water, we
could see the reflection of the bril
liant colored lights, seemingly too
beautiful to be true.
All day Sunday was spent in Seat
i tie, which is one of the largest cities
■ on the Pacific, built on the water
| front. A large number of us Corn
j huskers, (as we were often called,)
attended the First Presbyterian
| church for morning services. The
| afternoon was spent in a land and
water trip. Crafts of all kinds were
seen on the water, and the going
through the second largest locks in
the world, between Lake Washington
and Lake Union, was an experience
never to be forgotten. We were ele
vated 14 feet, going from salt water
to the fresh water; we were told that
ocean going vessels were placed in
the fresh water to remove the barn
acles which clung to the bottom of
the ships while in the salt water.
Arriving at Longview, Washington
I early Monday morning, we were
greeted by that Chamber of Com
merce. After breakfast at the Mon
ticello Hotel, where each person was
presented with a huge dahlia, we en
joyed a trip around the city and sur
rounding country, and were taken
through the lumber mills, the largest
in the world. Longview is a city
only 7 years old and was laid out in
blue-print before ever a building was
| erected. Although it is still in the

making, it is clean and beautiful. We
were taken half way across the six
million dollar bridge which spans the
Columbia, 195 feet above the river,
which also divides Washington and
Oregon.
Portland, Oregon, (called the city
of roses,) was reached Monday noon
and luncheon was served at the Mult
nomah Hotel, after which our party
was divided and taken by small
groups through the city street mar
kets. Vegetables, fruits and flowers
wrere very reasonable, each farmer
paying 15c a day for a small space,
approximately 6x0 feet, where his
display was artistically arranged.
Our bus ride covered some 125 miles
of scenic beauty, including several
large falls, prominent point views,
huge rocks, rose gardens, truck gar
dens and orchards. The Portland
Chamber of Commerce greeted us
and presented us with a large, red
rose as a souvenir.
Tuesday we started home, return
ing to Seattle, and through the new
Cascade Tunnel, which was 8 miles
long; it was completed last year at a
cost of $25,000,000. It took us 25
minutes to go through the tunnel,
which was lighted at certain places.
It has certainly proven to be a gi
gantic piece of engineering construc
tion.
weunesuay morning, upon reacn
ing the west entrance of Glacier Na
tional Park, we were taken by launch
over the beautiful McDonald to the
1 Lake McDonald Hotel where we were
served breakfast; ten rode into the
mountains, observing the tall, slender
trunks of the fir trees, and the
densely growing fire flowers which
have sprung up since last year’s fire
through that area. After dinner at
the Many Glacier Hotel, the party
was entertained with ancient cere
monial dances by members of the
Blackfeet Indian tribe, who move
their tepees into the park in the sum
mer. Four of the members of our
party were made members of the
tribe.
All day Thursday was spent on the
train, with only a few short stops.
Friday morning we arrived at Min
neapolis and after lunch at the New
Nicollet Hotel, we took a sight-see
ing trip through the residential and
lake districts of Minneapolis and St.
Paul. There are eleven lakes within
the city limits of Minneapolis; the
trip ended with a farewell dinner at
the Lowery hotel at St. Paul. The
train left St. Paul at 8:30 and ar
rived in Omaha at 6:30 Saturday
morning.
There seems to be only one way to
describe this trip in a few words and
that would be to take the trip your
self. Words cannot describe the
many wonders we saw and it cannot
all be thought of in a short time, but
I hope I have written the part that
would be most interesting to the
readers. The small books containing
our sight-seeing trip and meal cou
pons were the only important worry
we could be bothered with.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by
this Board that the Honorable A. j.
Weaver, Governor of the State of
Nebraska, be urged to make a fair
and impartial survey of the institu
tions of the state having the care of
mental defectives; that he appoint
such committee or commission as he
may deem suitable to make a person
al survey of such institution, the
present accomodations therein, the
needs for the future, and the number
and types of buildings that should be
constructed in order to amply and
properly care for such persons as
should be confined in state institu
tions, and
Be it further resolved, that a full
mid complete report of the findings
of such committee should be made
public so that the citizens of the
State of Nebraska may know the
true conditions and that public senti
ment, heretofore uninformed and in
different, may be aroused so that
suitable and proper legislation may
be enacted to meet a condition that is
a disgrace to the State of Nebraska
and a hazard to its citizens.
