WONDERS OF THE WEST.
As Seen from the Auto of the
Emerick-Crawford Party.
Cheyenne, Wyo., July 28, 1924.
Editor of the “Watchman:”
In a previous letter we told of our
trip from Bellefonte to San Francisco
and while in the latter place we took
the drive around the Twin Peaks, vis-
ited Golden Gate park, the museum
and art gallery, the largest any of us
had ever seen, and made a trip to
Lincoln park, which affords a fine
view of the Golden Gate. In this park
stands a flag pole which represents
the western end of the Lincoln high-
way. And now for our trip from Fris-
co to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Leaving San Francisco at noon on
July 12th we turned north by the coast
road through San Rafael, passing
through miles of vineyards and fruit
country, and through Ukiah into the
big tree country. California has not
advertised this section to any extent,
but to us it was one of the most inter-
esting portions of the State. The
roads are principally gravel but very
good. We drove through the big red-
wood trees for one hundred miles, and
they certainly are big compared to
our virgin trees in the east. They
average from 20 to 28 feet in diame-
ter and from 250 to 300 feet in height,
standing so thick that in many places
the road we traveled had to be liter-
ally hewn through this monarch for-
est, from two to three feet having
been trimmed off the trees on each
side of the road to make it the re-
quired width. The trees grow right
down to the water's edge, while the
ground is covered with beautiful ferns
from five to seven feet in height. We
saw miles of country which, it is al-
leged, has never been trampled by the
foot of man. It is the most stately
and beautiful natural scenery any of
us had ever seen. Through the big
trees we also got wonderful views of
the ocean.
The writer has visited the Yosemite
valley and the Wawona big trees;
Sequoia park, where the largest trees
in the world stand in Big valley, but
they are far apart and not in a dense
grove. This grove has been set aside
by the State of California as a park
and is visited by thousands every year.
At one place along the road there is
a restaurant, the entrance to which is
through a large tree about 30 feet in
diameter. The centre of the tree is
dead and had been burned out by fire,
leaving an opening eight feet wide
and twenty feet high. This was util-
ized as the entrance to the restaurant.
As originally planned our trip
would have been from Crescent City
to Grant’s Pass, Oregon, but various
tourists informed us that some seven-
ty miles of the mountain road were
very bad and advised us to take the
coast road to Bandon, Oregon, which
they claimed presented scenery of
wonderful beauty. And this we found
to be correct, but we were compelled
to travel over about sixty miles of
one way road, with very few passing
places. But it really seemed as if an
All-seeing Providence guided tourists
over this stretch as almost every time
we met a car it was near a passing
place. There were many places where
we could look from the car into the
ocean, a thousand feet below, and our
road a veritable ribbon along the cliff
only wide enough for one car. It was
a very thrilling ride but the more
timid members of the party were not
exactly thrilled, so frequent stops
were made to permit them to enjoy
the scenery. This narrow road is
probably one reason why this section
of the State is not more fully adver-
tised as a big attraction.
However, a road is being built
along the coast in Oregon by the fed-
eral government and when it is com-
pleted it will no doubt get the bulk of
the tourist travel. It is possible, how-
ever, to get to this park by driving
north about 150 miles and then south, | fi
but we would not advise the Oregon
coast road to any but those of stout
hearts and steady nerves.
From Bandon, Oregon, we motored
east to Roseburg, where we connected
with the Pacific highway, then contin-
ued north through the fruit country
to Portland. A seventy mile side trip
up the Columbia river yielded some
splendid views and roads. We spent
the night at Hood River, which is lo-
cated at Mount Hood, one of the high-
est mountains in the Cascades "and
which towers 11,225 feet above sea
level. The mountain top is covered
with snow all the time. Along this
highway we passed a number of beau-
tiful water falls, one of which is 770
feet high. The road passes through
several tunnels and along high cliffs,
but is quite wide and perfectly safe.
Returning to Portland we continued
to Tacoma, Washington, and from
thence went to Shelton, where we
spent a day with a sister of Mr.
Crawford. It was the first time they
had met in nineteen years and the vis-
it proved most enjoyable. From Shel-
ton we drove up the west side of Pu-
get Sound to Bremeston, where a gov-
ernment naval base is located. A
large number of battleships were at
anchor in the harbor and hundreds. of
sailor boys were in evidence. We
crossed the Sound on a ferry, over an
hour’s trip, that proved a delightful
diversion. This landed us in Seattle
where we spent the night and follow-
ing day waking in the sights of the
city. Everybody praises the north-
west but we prefer the southwest.
Hcwever, that is natural, as we boost
Bellefonte at every opportunity.
Leaving Seattle we turned our faces
towards the rising sun and drove to
Spokane, Washington. We found all
the roads in Oregon and Washington
very good, except the coast drive in
Oregon. Gravel roads seem to pre-
dominate. In Washington we drove
277 miles in ten hours, all over gravel
roads. The principal industries in
Washington and Oregon are fruit
growing and lumber. We saw a num-
ber of large saw mills and an abun-
dance of big timber. We also drove
through the famous Shookum apple
orchards. :
Leaving Washington we came east
through the northern part of Idaho,
passing through XKellog, where the
largest silver smelters in. the world
are located, Our trip was then across
the Bitter Root mountains into Mon-
tana, continuing southwest through
Anaconda and Butte, the great copper
country, and into the Yellowstone
park. ‘We cannot say much for the
roads of Montara. They are very
poor and neither the State nor local
localities seem to be making any ef-
fort to keep them up. We spent two.
days and nights in the park, which is
known everywhere as the most won-
derful of Uncle Sam’s play grounds.
We saw the hot water geysers spout-
ing steam and hot water to a height
of from 125 to 175 feet, and just a
short distance away are beautiful
springs of cold water. There are hun-
dreds of these hot springs and gey-
sers. " “,
One night in the park was spent at
Old Faithful Inn and the next night
at Lakeside Hotel. These hotels are
models of unique and modern archi-
tecture. The lobby of Old Faithful
Inn is built of logs and large enough
to house an ordinary medern hotel.
Its imposing grandeur is a sight
worth seeing. We visited the lake
and the grand canyon of the Yel-
lowstone.
Leaving the park by the east en-
trance we drove past the Shoeshone
dam, the next to the highest in the
world, and through the canyon to
Cody, Wyoming. This drive is ex-
ceedingly interesting and any one vis-
iting the park should make it a point
to enter or leave by the Cody road.
It is a narrow road, passing through
six tunnels and along high cliffs, but
perfectly safe for a careful driver.
At one point on the road we met a
party from California going into the
park. They had a trailer hooked onto
their auto and this they were unable
to steer as they attempted to back
down the road. This resulted in the
driver emptying some of his vials of
wrath at our party, even thoupyh we
helped to get the trailer to the side of
the road so we could pass.
Our drive led through the Big Horn
valley, through irrigated farm coun-
try and over prairies to Casper, Wy-
oming, which is the great oil centre of
the northwest, reminding one of our
own Oil City and Franklin. This is
near where the Teapot Dome is locat-
ed, the place made famous by recent
congressional investigations. At
Parkerton there are hundreds of oil
wells, one of which was on fire. It
was a great sight. Thence over the
prairies to Cheyenne (Chenenny),
which is the capital of this State.
We will leave here tomorrow over
the Lincoln highway for Old Belle-
fonte, which we expect to reach in
about ten days. We all wish that
right now we could have a drink from
the big spring. We could easily down
a gallon or two.
THE CRAWFORD-EMERICK PARTY.
(The party arrived home Tuesday
evening, tired, dusty, but with a
wealth of experience.—Ed.)
Buried Under a Load of Wheat.
C. M. Dale, the well known farmer
and dairyman of Ferguson township,
had a narrow escape from death by
suffocation last Thursday. He was
riding on top of a load of wheat when
the wagon upset, burying him beneath
an avalanche of sheaves. Several men
worked like trojans for five minutes
before he was uncovered. His face
and head were badly bruised and his
glasses smashed to atoms, but he was
ortunate in escaping more serious
consequences.
GROVE. — ‘Mrs. Margaret Ellen |
Grove, wife of Edwin M. Grove, died
quite suddenly at eight o’clock last
Thursday morning while being con-
veyed from her home at Prospect, Pa.,
to the Butler hospital. She had gone
to her home at Prospect just two
weeks previous after a stay of six
weeks or more in Bellefonte, during
which period she gave birth to a little
daughter. She was apparently in
good health until Wednesday night
when she was taken violently ill and
an operation being necessary it was
performed at once without removing
her to the hospital. By morning her
condition was so grave that it was de-
cided to remove her to the Butler hos-
pital, but she died on the way there.
She was a daughter of Vincent J.
and Ellen Cunningham Bauer and was
born in Bellefonte on November 29th,
1898, hence was 25 years, 8 months
and 2 days old. She was educated in
Bellefonte and prior to her marriage
to Edward M. Grove taught several
terms of school. The early years of
her married life were spent in Belle-
fonte but a year or two ago they
moved to New Castle where Mr.
Grove is in the employ of the State
Highway Department. Only recently
they moved to Prospect. In addition
to her husband she is survived by two
daughters, Catherine Elizabeth, aged
three years, and Anna Laurie, six
weeks old. She also leaves her fath-
er, V. J. Bauer, at Greer, W. Va.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on the late train on Friday
evening and taken to the home of Mr.
Grove’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A.
Grove, on east Bishop street, where
funeral services were held at three
o'clock on Saturday afternoon by
Rev. W, P. Ard, .of the Lutheran
church, of which she was a member,
after which the remains were taken
to Shiloh for burial in the cemetery
there.

McCULLEY.—Mrs. Agnes A. Mec-
Culley, widow of the late James T.
McCulley, passed away at her home
on Bishop street at nine o’clock on
Tuesday morning, of exhaustion, the
result of her advanced age.
She was a daughter of Dennis and
Maria Meyers McCafferty and was
born on Bishop street, Bellefonte, on
June 28th, 1836, hence was 88 years,
1 month and 8 days old. Her entire
life was spent in Bellefonte and vi-
cinity and she passed away on the
same street on which she was born.
Living to the age of over four score
and eight years Mrs. McCulley saw
Bellefonte grow from a hamlet into
the town it is today, and being pos-
sessed of a remarkable memory she
was able, up until her recent decline,
to recall with great exactitude many
interesting events in the early history
of the town. She was a life-long
member of the Catholic church and
always a devout worshipper.
She was twice married, her first
husband having been Lieut. John A.
Bayard, a brother of the late Col.
George A. Bayard, by whom she had
one. daughter, now Mrs. Howard
Spangler, of New York city. Her sec-
ond husband was James T. McCulley,
who died a number of years ago but
their four surviving children are
James A., Joseph V., W. Frederick
and Marion J. McCulley, all at home.
Funeral services will be held at the
Catholic church at ten o'clock this
(Friday) morning by Rev. Father
Downes, after which burial will be
made in the Catholic cemetery.

ADAMS.—Robert F. Adams, a well
known resident of Unionville, was
stricken with paralysis, on Monday of
last week, while standing in front of
the hotel in that place, was carried
home and died within an hour.
He was a son of Nelson and Eliza
Adams and was born in Northumber-
land county almost seventy-four years
ago. He came to Centre county when
a young man and for many years
lived in Philipsburg but recently
bought the old Russell home at Un-
ionville and moved there. He married
Arvilla White who survives with the
following children: Wilbur C. Adams,
of Tyrone; Mrs. A. C. Weaver, of
Erie; Harry, of Lock Haven; Edward,
of Broad Top; Everett, of Pitcairn,
and Mrs. J. L. Morgan, of Dudly. He
also leaves one sister, Mrs. F. P. Con-
fer, of Warriorsmark. r
Funeral services were held at his
late home at two o’clock last Thurs-
day afternoon by Rev. J. F. Andreas,
and burial made in the upper Union-
ville cemetery.

dia, last Saturday, was that of Dr,

Painfully Injured in Auto Accident.
Bruce Krumrine, wife and baby and
two sons of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Neal
were painfully injured in an auto ac-
cident near the William G. Furst farm
on the Buffalo Run road, late last
Friday night. The Krumrines live on
the Frank Clemson farm and that
evening the five people above men-
tioned and Mrs. Robert Neal had tak-
en a run to Stormstown in Mr. Krum-
rine’s Ford car. When nearing the
Furst farm Mr. Krumrine experienced
trouble with the steering gear and be-
coming alarmed Mrs. Neal had Mr.
Krumrine stop the car and she got
out. The latter then started the car
and as he approached the culvert in
the road near the Furst place the gear
again stuck and he gave it a quick
turn which threw it entirely over, and
rendered the car unmanageable and
it struck the end of the culvert, turn-
ed over and throwing the occupants
out onto the hard road.
Mr. Krumrine suffered painful con-
tusions of the right side of the face,
his right arm and shoulder; Mrs.
Krumrine’s face was cut, her jawbone
brokzn and body badly bruised while
one of the Neal boys suffered a badly
injured leg.
Do You Want to Get Into Welfare
Work?
A three month’s probation course in
Social Case work will be given by the
Associated Charities of Pittsburgh,
this fall, beginning October first. The
course is open to college graduates
between the ages of 21 and 32 who
possess the necessary qualifications
for the work.
The adjustment of family difficul-
ties whether they arise through un-
employment, illness, domestic infelic-
ity, physical or mental handicaps,
calls for highly trained sympathetic
workers of whom there are only too
few. The field is a remarkably inter-
esting one and there are boundless op-
portunities for variety of experience.
The course is free and a limited num-
hen of working scholarships are avail-
able.

Railroad Station Destroyed by Fire.
The station building at Beech Creek,
on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad,
was totally destroyed by fire last Fri-
day night, together with all its con-
tents. D. A. Barlett, of Bellefonte, is
the agent at Beech Creek, but he was
in Bellefonte at the time the fire oc-
curred, having come up on the after-
noon train to remain over Sunday.
The flames were discovered about
eleven o’clock and had already gained
such headway that nothing could be
done to save the building. It is not
known at this writing how the fire
originated but P. R. R. company offi-
cials will make an investigation to de-
termine the cause, if possible. No de-
cision has been announced as yet as
to whether the station will be rebuilt.
Gray’s Church Sunday School Picnic
Tomorrow.
The Sunday school of Gray’s church
in Patton township, will hold an old-
fashioned basket picnic tomorrow in
Hartsock’s grove, just west of Para-
dise.
It will be more or less a commu-
nity affair and every one is invited.
There will be no refreshment stands,
no lolly-pops and flap-doodles for sale.
Just a fine old-fashioned picnic where
‘the eats are spread on the ground and
every body has a good time.
For Sale.—~“New Florence” oil
stove, three burner. Practically good
as new. $10.—W. C. Cassidy, E. Bish-
op St. United phone.
Bellefonte’s Winning Streak Continues
Bellefonte’s baseball team has not
yet met its Waterloo, but continues
its winning streak by playing good,
fast ball. Last Thursday’s rain
merely delayed the trouncing Mill-
heim got on Tuesday evening of. this
week when Bellefonte won 2 to 1.
State College defeated Centre Hall on
Thursday by the score of 8 to 2 and
on Saturday the Centre Hall fans
went down before Bellefonte’s pon-
derous batting by the score of 10 to 8.
State and Millheim broke even in a
double-header on Saturday, State win-
ning the first game 10 to 2 and Mill-
heim the second 1 to 0.
For Bellefonte Montgomery regis-
tered his first victory on Saturday.
He went to Lose’s rescue in the first
inning, and although he was touched
for eleven safeties during the remain-
der of the game, most of them came
after the side would have been retired
but for various errors of omission and
commission by his team-mates. Lose
was greeted by a heavy bombardment
of Centre Hall base hits in the first.
His control was faulty, causing him
to put too many through the middle.
The boys from the other side of the
mountain certainly can hit a fast one
in the groove.
Bill Kline and Sweng Smith shared
batting honors for the locals with
three hits each. By the way, Kline
shows up as one of the most improved
players in the league this year. His
work in the field and at bat has been
top notch. He is hitting .310 and
fielding 1000 so far.
Here’s hoping Henny will have
many more days like Saturday. For
the first time this year he had his old-
time curves and control, and when he
is right he’s hard to beat. Following
is the standing of the teams:

both be played at the Business Men’s

forenoon and Bellefonte and Centre
Hall in the afternoon. Fans from
every town should go to Hecla park
to see these games.
Bald Eagle Creek Closed to Fish
Baskets and Racks,
The State Department of Fisheries
has closed Bald Eagle creek for its
entire length to fish baskets and racks
to make an experiment with the
stream. An appeal to close a portion
of the stream in the vicinity of the
mouth of Fishing creek to baskets and
racks had been made to the depart-
ment by the Clinton county Fish and
Game Association, the members of
‘which feared that game fish would be
caught and destroyed in the baskets.
The department recognized in the
appeal an opportunity to experiment
in stocking with different kinds of
suitable species of fish and determined
to close its use entirely to all except
hook and pole fishing. Perch and
pike are two of the species of fish to
be introduced into the waters of the
Bald Eagle, and experienced fisher-
men believe the stream well adapted
to these fish.

Ladies Night Drew Large Crowd.
The weekly Kiwanian luncheon on
Tuesday was changed to an evening
dinner at the Brockerhoff house, ow-
ing to its being ladies night, and this
probably accounts for the large crowd
present. W. Harrison Walker Esq.,
was chairman of the Kiwanian com-
mittee which made the arrangements,
and they (the arrangements) were
perfect in every detail. The dinner
was served at 6:30 and it was past
nine o’clock when the assemblage ad-
journed with the singing of “The Star
Spangled Banner.”
Between the dinner courses, there
was music, speeches and other enter-
tainment. Kiwanian Tommie Rieh-
ardson, of. Williamsport, furnished an
amusing monologue and Cal Bathurst.
and Nat Gaunt, of Lock Haven, did
some clever stunts. A witty toast to
the ladies was proposed by Kiwanian
Sloop and Mrs. Olaf Risen sang sev-
eral Norwegian songs in a very pleas-
ing soprano voice.
Attendance prizes given by Charles
Schlow included a parasol and box of
handkerchiefs, the former being won
by Mrs. James Harter, and the latter
by James K. Barnhart. Each lady in
attendance was presented with a love-
ly bouquet of sweet peas through the
courtesy of Mrs. J. O. Stutsman, of
Rockview.

Band Concerts or Vaudeville?
It might have been the excessive
heat, it might have been the repor-
torial liver, it might have been that
it was more of an attempt at vaude-
ville than any previous performance,
but certainly the Wednesday evening
band concert sent us home with the
feeling ‘that we’d been neither enter-
tained nor amused.
The band, as usual, executed well,
but the program was a monotonous
sequence of selections all in practical-
ly the same tempo. Not a number ex-
cept the last calculated to put life
into anything and it was so repressed
as to leave the impression that the
band has lost all its old time reputa-
tion for putting some dash into the
rendition of a march or gallop.
The patter skit might have been
very clever in its dialogue but as the
young gentlemen who presented it
