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. While coming down

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
