Journey to the Great Northwest
As Described by Mrs C. J Crook
--- -
Wo arrived al Livingston n( II
o'clock p, in., having noon the wond
erful Paradise Valley and Lower
Yellowstone Canyon by moonlight,
which whs a wonderful sight Wo
nil went to our same old hotel, where
our belongings were stored and to
our rooms, as we had decided to eon
tinuo our Journey the next day. K\
ery woman carries some necessary
toilet articles, hut in addition to
those site should have scissors, tliim
hie. needles and thread and small
vials of one or two simple medicines,
for we found such tilings in great
demand by some who did not think
them necessary. The inevitable hand
bag makes it possible and easy to
do so. A very small band mirror en
abled the minister of the party to
shave, and thread anti needles clos
ed many a rent in our common cloth
ing.
The next morning at eight o'clock
we took breakfast (not In camp Oh,
how we missed it'I at a very nice
restaurant, parked our belongings
again and started for Seattle Wash
ington.
We had a lovely ride up through
western Montana. We made a short
stop at Bozeman, in the wonderful
(iallatin Valley. It is a beautiful IB
tie city, whore some of our town
people have settled. They evident
ly know a good thing when they
find it, for the (iallatin Valley Is giv
cn up to he one of the largest and
finest for agriculture and fruit rais
ing in Montana, and added to this
the slock raising and the mineral
wealth of the adjacent mountains,
with its health-giving climate, and
you do not wonder that they go and
stay. I was somewhat disappointed
In missing the great copper mines
and smelters of Butte, lint we made
a pleasant stop at the capital of this
great state, Helena, and continued
our way amid lovely mountain seen
cry which inn hardly he surpassed,
for it was in the grand old Itoekies,
through deep canyons and dark dt
files, where stage coaches had been
held up and robbed in the old days
places which seemed to invite such
tragedies hut it is not quite so easy
to hold tip the Iron horse, though it
is occasionally done. Occasionally
getting glimpses of the great river,
beautiful ranches and homes, until
toward evening we came to Mlssoii
• la, where more of our own town's
people reside. It is a fine city and
there are more opportunities for the
young and energetic in the west than
there is In bid settled communities
like ours. ^
We crossed (lie slate of Idaho at
the narrowest part amt after night
had fallen, so cannot tell yon so much
about it by actual observation. It
is called the "(Jem of the Moun
tains," and abounds in great mineral
wealth and many lovely valleys and
much land is now open for settlement
Near midnight we came to Spokane.
Hero our party were to slop off.
and I bade them good-bye with re
gret, for we hud formed a very plea
ant friendship. We all hoped to
meet again at the exposition but I
never did meet with hut one of the
party afterwards. 1 continued my
journey to North Yakima, where I
visited a few days with the family of
my husband’s brother. The Yakima.
Valley is far-famed, and well it may
be, for it is very productive. It is
—
called the Home of the lllg Red Ap
ple," and Indeed, all the fruits and
vegetables grow to enormous size,
and all grains and hay are enor
mous crops Common i orn does not
mature, hut sweet corn for roasting
ears and for silos and summer feed
grow to perfection. And the melons
are perfectly lovely, A splendid cli
mate added to all this and we found
it a delightful place However we
went on to Seattle, the "Queen City"
of the northwest, where was held
the Alaska A uknii Pacific exposition.
The ride was beautiful ut d full of
Interest Beautiful valleys, lovely
streams; crossed the Cascade Range
Of Mountains through lumu I ; and by
waterfalls, lovely towns and fine
ranches I do not see how 200 miles
of travel could show a greater diver
sity of country, employment or enter
prise than this. Passed the dairy
farms and finally the great plant of
the Carnation Milk factory. No one
need ever to he afraid to use tile
Carnation milk, for I know that it is
pure and ( lean. So we came to the
great city, Seattle, and proceeded to
the home of our niece, whom I had
not seen for years; but she, and her
family made my visit a perfect Joy.
It Is a groat city, lias a population
of over 320,000, hits its own water
system and also lighting plant, which
furnishes power for municipal and
other purposes. Water Is brought
from Cedar River, forty mile away
in till1 Cascade Mountains. There is
a large fleet of steamers plying up
on the waters of Puget Sound, with
Seattle as their home port. The
local truffle carried on Ity this fleet
amounts to more than 125,000,000 per
year. Seattle’s public school system
ranks with any on the Pacific coast,
and churches are all represented by
magnificent buildings. There are
free library buildings, beautiful parks,
and indeed everything to make a
city, and we enjoyed out stay there
very much, and felt reluctant to leave
such a grand city. The University of
Washington is located upon n beauti
ful section of land lying between
Lake Union and Unke Washington,
and it is lu re and on adjoining land
that, the exposition was hold. The
university ranks among the first of
our liind and lias many beautiful,
commodious and substantial build
ings, and the state built several fine
buildings for the use of the exposi
tion, which now go to the university,
making it very finely equipped. The
state appropriated $1,000,000 for the
exposition, and thinks it money well
expended.
I wish that I could go into a de
thiled description of till' many beauti
ful buildings and their exhibits, but
of course cannot. The floral display
on the grounds were beautiful in the
extreme, while the exhibits of the
Alaska building were simply aston
ishing. This exposition was differ
ent in one respect from others, in
that every exhibit was in place and
everything finished by the opening
day. The shows on "Pay Streak"
were much the same as those of otlu■»
expositions, some better, some no
worse, and for thoso who patronize
such amusements they afforded a
pleasant i Imngc. The hotel and cafe
charges were very reasonable, and
the street car service was of the
very lies! Indeed it seemed ns if
the whole people of the city tried to

was simply grand Not on an artifi
cial lagoon, l»uL on lakes, large lakes
and the Sound You can ride on
g beautiful steam yacht at twenty-five
cents per hour, past the most beauti
ful scenery and beautiful homes and
grounds that you would wish to see
We also went across the Sound to
the Government Navy yards, situated
at Bremerton. Seven gnat war ves
sels lay in the harbor, while one. The
Colorado, was in the dry looks un
dergoing repairs, a sight for a "ten
derfoot." Then grand old Mt.
Rainier in sight of the city makes a
setting one can never forg t. The
day came all loo soon when 1 must
turn my face southward and con
tinue my journey
On a beautiful morning I darted
and had a lovely journey. The main
stop was at Tacoma, called ti:e “Beat*
t.ifui," and well named, as it is one
of the most attractive cities on the
Pacific coast to the tourist or home
Hecker. It has well paved streets,
and beautiful homes overlook Com
mencement Bay (of Puget Sound),
and lias Mount Rainer for a plain
Imekground. though il is forty miles
a way.
Tlieii we passed through fertile
valleys with beautiful homes and
randies, where fruits, vegetables,
grain and hay were raised in grtgit
abundance, and at eventide reached
the city of Portland, railed the "Rose
City," and surely '(was rightly nam
ed, for in no other dty do they gro'
in such profusion, so luxuriously or
in such variety as here. They were
a wonder, indeed, and 1 was told
tlml the season was nearly past, as
June was the main month for them.
I wtis very fortunate in choosing a
hotel in this city, for the proprietor
was a brollier of one of our towns
men, and made me feel at home and
extended courtesies for which I was
thankful. 1 went in company with
other tourists up lo the Dalles of the
Columbia River, a beautiful sight in
deed. Also took an observation cal
ami traversed the city ami surround
ing country, Portland Heights, the
Ureal Observatory, where you may
see three states, etc., and the t.ewis
and Clark exposition Grounds,where
some of the buildings have been
kept Intact the forestry building, as
a monument to the big trees of Ore
gon, and they are a wonder. Then
when my railroad ticket had gone
the proper length of red tape, or
in other words, had been validated,
1 was considered on my homeward
journey, so I turned still southward
and continued my way. We went
through much rich and fertile coun
try in Oregon, yet front what I could
learn there is yet much land to
he taken, but it is a great, grand
state.
Then we struck the great state of
California, over the Shasta Route.
California is a state one can hardly
describe. It is next to the largest
state, but that does not tell it.
It is over S00 miles front north to
south and over 200 from east to west
in other words it has 100,000 square
miles of surface, and the diversity
of climate, productions, and employ
ment makes it the greatest state in
our union It's "the land of out-of
doors " It rests the weary and re
freshes the weak*. One can have
ocean bathing or mountain climbing;
cool breezes with beautiful vegeta
tion, trees and flowers, or the grand
sandy desert, where health is pos
itively restored lo consumptives. But
the northern part ol' the state, which
1 first touched is filled with beautiful
little valleys cultivated to the lush
est extent, showing peace, plenty
and contentment. But we are soon in
the wilds of the Siskiyou Range of
mountains and in sight of old Mount
Shasta. It is 1 4,500 feet in heighth
and can be climbed by no “tender
foot" unaided. Its base measunnent
is so large that, we seemed to be at
its very foot for two or three hours,
anyway, it is visible from the ear
windows for over two hundred miles
of tin' journey with its great white
cap of : now, and the clouds forming
below the crest it makes a sight
never to be forgotten. And we fol
low the Sacramento Iiivor for over
sixty miles through a canyon which
one can never forget, no difference
how much they have seen before or
will see afterwards. Winding around
the mountain side, crossing and re
crossing the stream until you have
crossed it nineteen times. In places
wo had three engines to take the
train up and up, but when we began
to descend we make good time you
may know, and at nearly sunset we
came tearing down the mountain side
and stopped at Shasta Springs. We
were told to all get out and drink
of the renowned Shasta water and
go through the magnificent hotel for
the space of twenty minutes. We
were glad of the rest, even for that
short a time. They tightened burs,
adjusted breaks, etc., and soon we
were on our way again, with the
roaring, foaming stream on one side
and the mountains on the other. Bor
some distance springs seemed plen
tiful. as yellow Shasta water poured
down the mountain side, but in a
little while we passed camping places
where city people or tourists were
camping out and using Shasta water
from Nature's own reservoir, "the
rocks." and living the simple life.
They waved us adieu as we went
thundering on and soon darkness and
mountains shut us in on every side
and tired eyes closed to open again
at dawn slill in (lie Sacramento Val

sis not a foaming mountain stream,
but a broad beautiful placid river

with the reflection of vast vineyards,
wheat fields and orchards, rich farm
hone s and live stock of all kinds. It
was indeed the far famed beautiful
Sacramento Valley which the sun
rose upon, making a sight long to
be remembered. At or near eight
o'clock wo readied Sacramento, the
capital city of this great state. Hav
ing ben to capltols of several states.!
I ihink I may truthfully say that itie :
most beautiful grounds and buildings)
are here which it has been my lot
to see. I left the regular Sun Fran
cisco train at this point to take an-1
other for the beautiful Napa Valley,
where resides a brother whom 1 had i
not seen for thirty years. The ride |
to St Helena was a very lovely one,)
across the broad valley of the Sac-!
ranicnto then up the Napa Valley for)
miles, where used to flourish the
greatest vineyards in the state. I
arrived at my brother's home and Oh
what a visit I enjoyed.
