Trip Across Nation
Brings Report of
Interesting Spots
Josephine Mahoney
Tells Lions 'Narra
tive of Journey
Highlights of her recent trip to the
Atlantic seaboard were related by
Josephine Mahoney before the Mon
day Lions luncheon. Going east on
Union Pacific's City of Portland
streamliner, in which she had her
view of and first experience in rid
ing in the whirlwind vehicle of the
rails, Mrs. Mahoney was whisked to
Chicago with one ten-minute stop,
the only one long enough to touch
foot on terra firma.
Chicago, she found hot and dirty,
though a lakeshore trip at Lake
Michigan, atour through the Black
belt and sights of many homes of the
wealthy helped relieve an otherwise
unfavorable impression. Morrow
county dust will no longer be object
ionable, she .believed, after expjer
iencing the coal smoke of Pittsburgh.
She hit that city the day of Andrew
Mellon's funeral, and visited rela
tives of her mother there.
Most impressive of all places vis
ited was Washington, D. C, and the
nearby Arlington cemetery. Wash
ington monument, from the top of
which she saw the wonderful view
of the nation's capital; Lincoln me
morial, where no one may have his
picture taken with the famous stat
ue; the Robert E. Lee mansion, fur
nished as when occupied, with slave
quarters and all; tomb, of the Un
known Soldier; the White House, and
the halls of congress v were some, of
the outstanding points of, Interest.
Through he , .Virginia , highlands
she . went, ,to . Alexandria, third ..olcfo
est incorporated city in the. .nation
where George Washington was the
first worshipful master of the Ma
sonic lodge,, and here viewed, the
Carlyle house, birthplace of the con
stitution. Along the Potomac to Mt.
Vernon, she proceeded and viewed
the home of George Washington with
its. original furniture.
At Washington she visited the bu
reau of engraving where $15,000,000
in new currency was being turned
out daily, and looked through the
Smithsonian institute museum where
"the history of America is unfolded."
The. supreme court building she
found to be air-conditioned, and she
viewed the original declaration of
independence in the congressional
library.
New York city provided many
thrills as she took in the sights with
Ellis Thomson, former Heppner boy
now living in the city. At Radio City
with the world's largest music hall
she thrilled to the dancing of the
world's largest troupe of precision
dancers. "Virginia," a musical ro
mance, the one legitimate stage pro
duction under way at the opening
of the season, was enjoyed at the
Center theater. Greenwich Village,
Breighton Beach, Cony Island, Times
Square, Riverside Drive, Central
Park, Fifth Avenue, Roxy theater,
Cathedral of St. John the Divine
started in 1812 and unfinished, hav
ing seven altars the original paint
ing of Christ at Gethsemane at Riv
erside Drive church, Trinity church
in Wall street, St. Thomas church
on Fifth avenue, the New York sky
line, all left enjoyable remembrances
of the large metropolis.
Boston was different. The famous
Commons, originated in 1634, with
the public gardens and playground
fascinated. Old Granary burial
ground of Revolutionary war heroes;
Faneuil hall, cradle of liberty; Old
Oyster house, Maymarket square,
North Station, the house where Jen
ny Lind first sang in America,
Charlestown, founded in 1628, Bun
ker Hill monument, City Square
where Paul Revere started his fa
mous ride, the East Side, known as
Little Italy; Old North Church with
its lanterns, the Paul Revere house
(1770-7800), Parker House where the
famous rolls originated, the build
ing where the Boston Tea Party
started, Old South Meeting House,
site of the Boston Massacre (1770),
the old state house (1713), the bal
cony where the Declaration of In
dependence was first read in Bos
ton, oldest subway " in America
these were some of Boston's contri
bution to her memoirs- The mother
church of Christian Science was vis
ited, and the huge mapparium, 30
feet in diameter, the largest thing of
its kind in the world.gav e another
thrill not soon to be forgotten. The
huge glass ball, with bridge through
the center, and colored maps show
ing the entire world on all sides, and
around the equator an electric clock
time belt indicating the time in all
parts of the world at a given moment
this was the mapparium.
Home by way of Niagara Falls,
Mrs. Mahoney viewed the burning
springs and ascertained that 90 per
cent of the water was in Canada
where spray shot 500 feet into the
air. On the Canadian Pacific through
southern Saskatchewan where the
devastating drouth impressions were
depressing, and stops at Moosejaw,
Medicine Hat, Calgary; along the
Bow river to Banff and Lake Louise,
the noted resort where marvelous
recreational facilities are provided,
and a view of the beautiful lake in
the early morning with reflection
indistinguishable from the mountain
pictured in the water. Then over the
great divide at 5332 feet, through the
spiral tunnels, 5.2 miles long and
the longest double track tunnel in
the world, a drop of 1400 feet in four
miles with two engines to hold back
the long train, Yoho national park
where the Columbia river heads, a
boat trip taking in Vancouver, Vic
toria, and on to Seattle, and home
to find the bare hills of Morrow
county as welcome as any sight of
the long journey. So Mrs. Mahoney
sketched her trip to the Lions.
A' clarinet solo by Miss Harriet
Hager, accompanied by Miss Juanita
Leathers, was an enjoyable enter
tainment feature. Guests included
Mrs. Marvin Wightman of Arling
ton and mother, Mrs. L. A. Humph
reys of Portland; E. R. Jackman, ex
tension specialst in farm crops, O.
S. C.; Judge Bert Johnson, Com
missioner George Peck and' Jack
Parsons.
Judge Johnson invited general
public interest in the weed control
meeting held that afternoon at the
courthouse, asserting that the town
welfare depended upon the welfare
of the country, and that the weeds
were a menace to the general prosperity.
