V THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1912 Notice of Removal We desire to announce that on Monday, April 1 , we moved to our new home in the build ing formerly occupied by the Blue Ribbon Bakery. In our larger and better quarters we will be enabled to give our present patrons better service and to cater to others whom we are confident of serving in a way that wi 11 pi ease. Smith & Imbler Free Delivery MR, DABNEY'S TRAVELS continued from p&ffe 3 1 Mack turf where it has been jmt Up to dry. There are small valleys in the hills, which show their richness hy the little fit-Ma of poUien grain or meadow j;rass. Alxmt two miles from the village there are extensive slate quarries, and great quantities are taken out and run down on small cars to the railway station A little way from the hotel there is a very old stone bridge, and crossing that. 1 wandered off a mile away to a litt e glen where are standing the stone walls of a very old abbey, and high in one of the gables, almost ob scured by twining ivy. is a large bell, which has no doubt tolled the funeral knell of many who lie buried in the churchyard. On each side of the door way on the outside there is a large forced iron coffin. The to;s or covers are welded on There w ere some marks indicating names and dates, but too much worn by the wheels of time to decipher them. Monday morning has come, and while the sun is throwing its radiance over the hills, a number of four-horse carry-alls are driven up In front of the hotel, each having a capacity for 14 people, and after the tourists have been seated in the carry-alls by means of ladders, a crack of the whip and we were off on the long winding road over the hills, and from their summits we could see the beautiful lakes and the wild, weird country surrounding them. From scenes along the way one is re minded of Rob Roy and the Scotch Highlanders. After nine miles' travel we came to I.och Catrine, where we took a steamer for five miles. Through the Highlands. The lake is a beautiful body of wa ter, with some interesting little is lands and low timbered mountains surrounding it. At the further end of the lake we are conveyed by teams five miles to I-och Ivomond. through a wild country with fine scenery on all sides. We passed on our way a few small stone houses covered with thatch, and now and then a cave in the rocks, where the entrance was nearly covered by the thick foliage. We are now at the upper end of l.o h I.oniond, and after a lunch at the splendid hotel, which is located on th lake shore and near some beautiful ' falls, we sail through placid waters for 'Z'i miles, passing on our way some lonely islands. The lake is surrounded by hills and mountains, which are partially covered Ortley, Newtown and Spitzenberg True to name nursery stock. One and two years old; fine thrifty trees; four to eight feet. It will pay purchasers to inquire before buying their spring stock.

There are some extensive moors and now and then a narrow val ley extending back from the lake for a mile or more, with a few small houses ranging along near the little creeks, while further up on the rocky cliffs may be seen the ruins of some old castle. Nestled in some beautiful grove away on the mountainside may be seen an occasional large mansion. Boy Scouts on Hand. We stopped at one little village and took on a company of about ." boy scouts, who were returning from a camping tour in the mountains. They all looked like young soldiers, strong and rugged. At the lower end of the loch we take the train for Glasgow. Arrive at Glasgow. Glasgow, located on the River Clyde, has a population of nearly 1, uuO.otio people, and does quite a manu facturing business, a good deal of ship building, etc. The large cathedral is one of the very few ecclesiastical edi fices that has come down the long cen turies in its original state. There are 117 clustered columns, including those in the crypt, and 15tf windows of va rious sizes, some of them verv beauti ful. The Necropolis is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Great Hritain. It is located on a hillside extending over the top, a little way from the old cemetery which surrounds the cathe dral. In passing from one to the other one crosses the bridge called "The Bridge of Sighs." The Necropolis contains many costly tombs and monuments, and in some places there are terraces of tombs cut in the solid rock, with carved stone doors or windows, pretty walks and paths leading to them. On the very top of the hill is a high granite monu ment to John Knox. There was an industrial .'air being held in 1911, but the exposition was very inferior to the ones held in Port land and Seattle a few years ago. Visits Home of Burns. The home of Burns is at Allowing, a small village one and a half ni'les from Ayr, from where one takes the tram car and passes down through a shady lane with the Roselle woods on both sides. To our left was a beau tiful mansion and on our right was Bellisle Mansion, both nestled in among the timber, with blooming vines twining around them. We are now at the old nome ami birthplace of the great poet. The cot tage is about Cu feet long, built of tone and whitewashed Inside and out. It is one story high and the thatch on the roof is nearly two feet thick. The building is divided off into four apart ments and the first we enter is for the DON'T BE SATISFIED WITH YOUR WATCH unless you can rely absolutely upon its truthfulness. !viviVivivrTTmTrrrra ' fodder, the second one for (he stork, the third for shop and stores, and the i next was used for kitchen, dining I room, parlor and sleeping room. The ' beds were in alcoves. The crude fur nlture, the bedding and the old spin ning wheel are still in place. Farther down the lane about "u0 ! yards stands unroofed "The Old Al lowing Kirk." where the Burns family used to attend church, and many of I their neighbors and friends are in the t little churchyard. A little farther on is the River loon. with its rocky banks and grassy braes. The old stone bridge, where Tain O'Shanter rode, is still intact, and one may walk ONer it and look over its rock walls at the clear, sparkling wa ter as it ripples along over the mossy stones, or see the old mill a little fur ther down the stream. On the sloping hillside a little way off stands a Burns monument, ami from its top one can get a general view of the surrounding country. Near the monument there is a small house, which contains the stone effigies of Tain O'Shanter and Sonter Johnny, with their jovial smiles, as long years ago. From here we returned to the city and visited different places of interest. The Tarn O'Shanter Inn is used for a saloon with lodging rooms in the sec ond story. A little further down the street is a very tine and costly monument, li:! feet high, of Wallace. It is interesting to see some of the little shops and stores where the roofs are covered with thatch. After visiting the fort, castle and some of the cathedrals, we crossed the " Auld Brig of Ayr," which is very old. and go into the thatch cot tage district, where poverty reigns su preme. Here one may Bee women and children of all ages sitting or wander ing around with nothing to do, nothing to live on. and nothing to live for, and as I walk around these poor habita tions I look away at the great and costly monumental structures and wonder why we build monuments to the dead and let the poor and hungry go unfed. From here we took a tram car to Prastwick, about three miles away. It is a quaint place and along the way one may see many strangely con structed buildings. It is one of the oldest towns in Scotland and has a very old cross and well, whose waters it is said have cured many lepers. Ayr was the birthplace of John Lou den MacAdam. the inventor of the macadamized road. Sails for Ireland. From Ayr we went to the coast and embarked for Ireland, arriving at I.arne after a three hours ride across the beautiful North Sea. The place having no particular interest, we went on to Belfast, a city of :?im,(mit people, with many industries. It has good streets and some beautiful parks. Bel fast is one of the greatest shipbuilding cities in Great Britain. They have the equipment and best of facilities for building and handling larger ships than any other place in the world. The great Titan, which has been tin ier construction for three years, will be completed this year. It is &8iJ feet long, and it is indeed interesting to no through it and see the amount of work going on under the different man ageme'nts, and to watch them handling and putting in place the great machin ery that is necessary for operating such a vessel. There are 1 2."tn men employed in shipbuilding and repairing and the va rious companies pay out about 20,0uu pounds sterling per week for labor. How to Fertilize Our new 24-pag book.

FREDRICY, Agent, Hood River, On. We next visited the York linen mills, salj to be the laret in the world. They employ Sntio people and run SO. two spindles. There are several other linen factories in the rity. employlim a less number of peop'e. They Import a Kreat deal of tlax from Knssia. The mix crop in Ireland in I ' 1 1 was from 6ti,iHo acres. There is a factory for the blind people, and there 1 in men. women and boys are employed. They make dif ferent kinds of brushes, baskets, cane seats for chairs and rockers and a great many other articles of commerce. Belfast has some interesting churches and rathedr.ils. Drives Through Belfast. We are now drhiiiK through some of the narrow windin.u streets in the slum district of Belfast, and here the poverty beggars all description. A combination of poverty, neglect, tilth, disease, degradation, misery and sin. and while beholding people in such conditions I wondered If these poor creatures were Clod's handiwork, and my mind drifted away to the lavish expenditures for monuments, palaces, castles, cathedrals, etc.. and under their very shadow are thousands of these poor helpless subjects. 'Clod pity the young, the aged and poor, Who have, never a friend to go near their door." I hope the time will never come, in our free America, when the people will so forget themselves and build treat monuments to the dead and let the poor and hungry co unfed. From Belfast we went to Port Rush, the most northern town in Ireland. The country traversed is rich in grain, tlax, etc. I'ort Rush is a summer re sort and tourist town of two or three thousand people. The shores are washed by the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, and its ever inter changeable colors of blue, green, pur ple, etc., as the waters ebb and (tow along the sandy beach and with the spray dashing into the manv caverns in the great white rock walls, makes a picture, that one will not soon for get. The Giants' Causeway Is one of the great natural wonders of the world. Its thousands of hexagon columns of basaltic rock, 15 to inches in diame ter, are dressed perfectly smooth and regular by the eternal hand of nature, and all are perfectly fitted together as they stand one column above an other for hundreds of feet. There have been found columns ranging from three to nine sides, but the most of them have six. Tlie columns range in length from two to six feet. One end of a column is a littlp cup shape, and the one above is oval, so as to make a perfect joint. The wonderful forimi- ilon extends around the shore for nearly three miles. From here we went to Ixindonderry, a quaint old city of Io.Oimi people, lo cated on both sides of the River Foylo, and as we walked around on part of the old wall that once surrounded the city, our guide pointed out many places of historical interest. There are some Interesting cathedrals. It was from the lead roof of one of these cathedrals that many cannon balls and other missiles were made and used during the great siege in 1ISS. The people baked clay balls and melted and moulded the lead around them. In going fro'n Londonderry to Dub lin we passed through much agricultu ral country. The houses are of small stone and whitewashed.
