". La Grande, Jan. 17, 1908. -
To the Editors, La Grande Observer:
Dear Sir: According to promise I
send you an outline 'of my trip to the
Old country and ' my impressions of
name after a-n absence of 26 years.
In starting out on an extensive trip
the first thought of the traveler Is,
What shall I need In the way of bag
gage T My experience In the matter
is to travel as lightly as possible, for
In so doing your mind Is at east and
you ve nothing to occupy your
thoughts, but the Journey, and how to
make the most of it, so that a gentle
man should be satisfied with a dress
ing case and one small grip.
In getting away there is the usual
handshaking and godspeed . you of
friends and loved ones, and In the
midst of It all, the conductor calls.
"All, aboard,'' and lo, we start on "our
Journey In my case between five and
tr thmiMinit tnllen of land and sea.
My first stopping place was Salt Lake
City, where I was well received by
some of my old New Zealand friends
and was shown the various places of
Interest by them. I had the privilege
of hearing the great Mormon Taberna
cle choir sing some anthems, accom
panied by the magnificent organ.
Also some of Utah's star singers, and
after spending a most enjoyable time,
I pulled out for my trip across the
continent. In riding along In our
splendid Pullman palace cars, taking
in the scene "en route," my mind re
verted to the old pioneer days when
the Oregon trail was first opened. I
tried to Imagine the train of ox teams
wending their slow, toilsome march
across the Beemlngly limitless desert,
and at night halt, the corraled wagons,
the camp fire and the sentinel posted
to keep guard over the steeping camp,
for In those days the Indian was very
much In evidence, always seeking op
portunity for plunder and bloodshed;
but all these romantic scenes are a
thing of the past, and we are now in
a .progressive, go-ahead age, and In
stead of being on the road months, a
few short days will take us from Pa
cific to Atlantic. So much for Amer
ican enterprise. Time and space will
not allow me to more than glance at
the various stopping places, such as
Denver, city of plains a beautiful city
with many fine buildings. We took
a 50-mtle automobile ride through the
city and suburbs and on the return
the man at the helm stopped In front
of the lions' den and then demanded
our money. Now whether he thought
we were of the species "Hobo," I can't
say; all I know is That with the furi
ous wild animals staring us In the face
we "dug up," or In other words,
gracefully acceded to his demand Bad
tendered him the sum of six bits nr
75 cents each.
Our next stopping place was St.
Louis. . Seen a little of the big fair;
then on to Chicago, and thence to
Boston via the "Nlckle Plate" line,
and found the accommodations in
ferior to the U. P.
On arrival at Boston I embarked on
the S. S. "WJnlfredean," of the Ley
land line. She had been chartered by
the White Star line for the trip, and
although slow, we found her a very
comfortable sea boat . and after the
usual time seen land, which proved to
be the southern extremity of Ireland.
One of the passengers called my atten
tion to the green hills, and then 1
realized. I looked upon my native land
once more, and the words of Sir Wal
ter Scott came to me vividly:
"Breathe there a man with soul so
dead.
Who never to, himself hath said:
This la my own my native land!
Whose heart haa ne'er within him
burned
As home his footsteps he hath, turned
From wandering on a foreign strand."
Etc., etc., etc.
What memories that aight brought
to my mind, my childhood days, the
old homestead, father, mother, sisters,
brothers, and those home scenes.
That Is Indelibly Impressed upon one's
memory.
The following day found us In the
great maritime city of Liverpool No
vember 6th, of Guy Hawkes memory,
and after being assigned to labor In
the Irish continent, started the same
night for the city of Belfast, the com
mercial city of Ireland, with Its 175.
000 Inhabitants. I was accompanied
by my young friend, Roy Passuy of
PICTURE

ABROAD
Provo-Clty, "Utah, who seemed rather
dubious of his greeting by the wild
Irish, and he inquired of me it -the
Irish were as wild as was commonly
reported. I told him I'd heard that
the J'wlld Irish" were caught in the
Wlrklo mountains and after they had
been partially broken, they ' were
turned adrift amongst the tame ones
and In time became civilised. - When
we landed In Belfast my companion
remarked to me: "Why, Mr. Lindsay,
these people seem much like other
people." , I laughed and told him to
wait till he' hud seen the home of the
real Irish.
The two greatest Industries here are
the linen weaving and shipbuilding.
From here you get your Irish linen and
cambric and they also build the ships
to caj-ry It across the Atlantic. I saw
one of the largest freight and passen
ger steamers In the world being fitted
up for the Hamburg-American line.
She was called the Amerlka.
In regard to cilmatio conditions,
they are as I remember them. My
second day In Ireland It rained con
tinuously and then I was confirmed In
my mind that I was In Ireland sure.
