HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 7, 1929. PAGE FIVE T FINE TRIP TO EAST EDITOR'S NOTE The following In teresting account was Just received from Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Troedson who left their home near Morgan-several weeks ago to spend the winter at Mrs. Troedson's old home in Pennsylvania. Traveling through Oregon we crossed the Blue mountains and had lunch at Meacham, the highest point. The Grand Ronde valley was very pretty; saw many threshing ma chines at work; also saw lots of fine alfalfa. That night we stopped at Baker city. This is a pretty city. The next day we entered Idaho. Here we saw fine alfalfa, and lots of good looking sheep. In the east ern part of the state they raise lots of potatoes and sugar beets. We saw some of the sugar factories but it was too early for any to be in operation. While in Idaho we visit ed a cousin for four days. While there we took a trip to Ida ho falls. Thought they were about as pretty as Niagara falls could be, but later when we saw Niagara falls, found them to be much su perior. Leaving Idaho we entered Wyo ming, and saw the Rockies for the first time. The first day in the mountains we saw nothing but rock. This rock was wonderful in forma tion. Some places it resembled buildings and seemed to show dif ferent colors. There was no timber but we enjoyed the rocks just as much. The next day we went over the summit of the mountains and ate our lunch on the top. There was an observation tower here and a tavern containing many curios and relics. The scenery was pretty here as you could see down In the valleys. The mountains are 8835 feet high at the summit The next morning we entered Ne braska and went through a farm ing section. It is a much prettier country than Wyoming. Here we saw some sugar beets, but more corn than anything else. Eastern Nebraska seemed to be a better farming country than the western part There were so many pretty homes, nice houses and barns. The last day we traveled through Neb raska the wind blew hard all day. It reminded us of eastern Oregon only we didn't see any wind blows; the soil was so dark and rich look ing. Qur next state was Iowa. We crossed into this state on the Lin coln Memorial bridge. This is a new bridge, dedicated June, 1929. It is a fine big bridge costing more than $1,000,000. Iowa resembles Nebraska; the soil looks the same, and great fields of corn resembling our wheat fields in size. The homes are nice with so many big barns, anywhere from two to five, and nice big silos, made mostly of brick. The corn In the state seemed to be from eight to ten feet high. Iowa and Nebraska both are great stock cen ters, mostly pigs. Entering into Illinois we crossed the Mississippi river on a large el evated bridge, larger than the Lin coln Memorial. The waters of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers were very muddy. Illinois is a pretty state, raising lots of corn. We cross ed this state In one day. We didn't go through Chicago, but went thru Chicago Heights, that is about 35 miles from Chicago. It was very smoky here, caused from the city. The cities in the middle states are pretty. The streets leading to them are so shaded and resemble lanes through the woods. From Illinois we came to Indiana but didn't go any further than Elk hart, as we turned off there and entered Michigan. We had follow ed the Lincoln highway until we made this turn. Of all the scenery so far we think Michigan exceeds them all. The trees were gorgeous, lots of maple, all so uniform in size and blending with such wonderful colors. The state of Michigan is fairly dotted with lakes. We came as far as Pontiac, twenty-five miles from De troit. We stayed there nearly three weeks with our sister. Pontiac is a pretty city of about 65,000. While there we took several rides thruogh the country. The scenery was beautiful everywhere, as the trees are so pretty this time of year. There are so many lakes all surrounded by trees. The waters of the lakes are so blue and clear. One can see to the very bottoms of them. The Pontiac and Oakland car plant is at Pontiac, and we had the pleasure of going through'it one day. It was quite a sight and we wish we could have spent a day there. Detroit is a busy city. There are some fine buildings there, and the wide streets leading into the city are very unusual. From Pontiac we went to Port Huron and crossed the Detroit riv er over into Canada, We traveled through Canada one day, seeing some very pretty fall wheat, and some nice cities. It wasn't an un usuaj thing to see a beer wagon oc casionally. We paid 30 cents a gal lon for gas here, and what we ate was about double to what it was any place else. After traveling through Canada all day we came to Niagara falls. Those who haven't seen them can't imagine the splendor of them. They are 170 feet high, and the spray from the Horseshoe falls comes al most to the top of the falls. The illumination of the falls at night is beyond description. From one of the buildings they throw out the colored lights and the falls are col ored with the most beautiful colors One can't imagine the richness of the colors without seeing them. We stayed all night here and until about 10 o'clock the next day, then we drove down the Niagara boulevard, following the Niagara river until we came to the Peace bridge, and there crossed into Buffalo, N. Y. From there we followed Lake Erie down to the city of Erie. We had a good view of Lake Erie. It seemed rath er rough with quite large breakers near the shore.

This country resembles the Willamette valley In some respects small farms and lota of trucking done While hero we have seen several things of interest. One of the most Interesting things is the oil wells. Have seen some of the refining plants, one being the largest in the U S., the Atlantic; also saw the Pennzoll, Quaker State and Coreco plants. Oil was first discovered in Pennsylvania about 18 miles from Mrs. Troedson's old home. It has been an exceptionally dry year all through the East, but are getting some rain now. We had a wonderful trip all the way, very good weather, and no trouble in any way. We stopped at camp grounds every night and found the cabins equipped with lights, quite often a gas plate to cook on, water inside with sink, ta ble, chairs and bed. Everything was very comfortable. i Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Troedson. IIARDMAN. Archie Leathers and Miss Mabel Leathers were visitors in town Satr urday and Sunday.
