( By Airmail to the “Watchman.” ) Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 14. Editor of the “Watchman.” Seattle, Wash., is now but a memo- ry to the many Knights Templar who visited it for the annual conclave, but it will linger fondly in the minds of all because of the wonderful hospital- ity displayed and the fact that the people of that city did not raise prices above normal in entertaining the vis- itors. : The trip over the mountains and ton was uneventful, but will be re- membered because of the magnificent scenery and the wonderful pear, peach and apple orchards of the Yakima val- ley. The valley has been made fer- tile by extensive irrigation and the trees in the miles of orchards are all heavily laden with fruit. Pickers and packers were already at work gath- ering the crops. The wheat crop on what is termed the dry lands is the best in five years. The growers were in the midst of harvesting the crop and on one large farm I saw thirty- eight horses hitched in a harvesting machine. These machines are ponder- ous affairs, cutting, threshing and bagging the wheat as it goes, drop- ping the bags to one side to be col- lected by trailing wagons. The crop averages from 24 to 30 bushels to the acre. Some tractors are used in har- vesting but most farmers prefer horses. Spokane is one of the marvel cities of the Northwest. In the past twenty- five years it has grown from a city of 35,000 to one of 150,000 inhabitants. It is built on a succession of rocky hills but is noted for its beautiful homes. It is the business center of western Washington. Enormous pow- er plants abound within the city lim- its, plants which generate 180,000 horse power, which is distributed over a radius of 200 miles. Both light and power are low in cost. The city has wide, paved streets, well lighted, 34 bridges, more than forty parks and playgrounds and an efficient inter-ur- ban system. It has hotels that are equal to any in the United States, but their prices are most reasonable. From Spokane to Gardiner, the north entrance to the Yellowstone park, is a twenty-four hour ride. Yel- lowstone has for years been noted as the biggest and most wonderful play- ground in the United States but all its wonders are tabulated in a guide book and I will not dwell on them. The only “best way” to see the park is to tour it in one’s own automobile. To take the regular tour of the trans- portation company which enjoys the park privilege requires four days and ‘costs $25.00 for transportation, $29.50 for hotels and $20.50 for camps. The big drawback is that one is compelled to devote an entire day at Mammoth Hot Springs, when several hours would suffice for most travelers. The transportation company has 38) large White company-motor cars and busses in service, notwithstanding the fact that they had 134 destroyed in a big fire last winter. : The grand canyon of the Yellow- stone is more picturesque than the one in Arizona, though not nearly so larze. On my final day in the park I saw a number of deer and bear, none of which were at all timid over the proximity of travelers. The bear are ordinarily too familiar, following parties in the hope of getting some- thing to eat. Many people have been hurt by teasing them. One woman had her hand almost severed by the bite of a bear and the ranger shot the animal to avoid any possibility of it becoming dangerous. In the park I met Mrs. C. B. Williams and son Frederick, of Westfield, N. J., but for- merly of Bellefonte, who were taking in the park on their way home from a trip to the Pacific coast. A slight earthquake was felt at Gardnier and also at Livingston last week, but no damage resulted. Thirty-six hours after leaving the park I reached the twin cities, Minne- apolis and St. Paul. There I met sev- eral people who were fellow passen- gers on my trip around the world, as well as a few people from Centre county. One of the latter was George Wagner, a former Bellefonte boy, now a traveling man, whose territory stretches from Minneapolis to Seattle and down south to Los Angeles. He is doing well and likes the west very much. I also met Walter Heirs, a moving picture star who with his charming wife is spending his vacation in Min- neapolis. In his early years as an actor Mr. Heirs was with the Lubon people and was one of the bunch at the Philipsburg train wreck picture. I spent several days with him. Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Dahl were among oth- ers I met. Mrs. Dahl will be remem- bered by Bellefonte people as Miss Helen Moore prior to her marriage. Looking over the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis one is led to wonder why they do nét unite under one ban- ner, and thus become the leading city of the west. It would mean a city of over one million inhabitants, and both have much in common. A building boom is on in both cities. Henry Ford has built a branch assembling plant in Minneapolis which employs two thousand people. He bought a lock dam from the government in connec- tion with the ground on which his plant stands. Many large eastern manufacturers and wholesale houses have branches here and find them very profitable. Will leave on Monday for Duluth, catching the Canadian boat for a trip over the Great Lakes to Detroit, Mich., thence to Toronto, Canada, for the big exposition and fair. GEO. T. BUSH.
