However, at the meeting Mr. Del M.

Mr. Cran field, State organizer of. the Cen traf Highway was also present 'and stated that the Catawba county roads were the best the party had traveled over since the beginning of the tour. Dr. Pratt, in speaking of the highway, stated that the Cen tral Highway was all provided for except Burke and Davidson counties. Morganton in Burke, however, has voted qonds for a part of the highway through that county. He said that unless Davidson made some arrange ments to provide for the road that a ten mile detour would be made and thus leave them out of the highway altogether. Mr Potter is a wealthy man and is giving his time and money freely and gratituously in the in terest of the Southern National Highway and is working hard to get the road to go through this State. Mrs. O. M Royster and Miss Ada S?henck arrived July 19 at Delta, Col., on a visit to Mr. Herbert Chase, form erly of Hickory. As their many friends will be gLd to hear from them, we qaote from an interesting letter which Mrs. N. W. Clarke has recently receiv ed from Mrs. Royster: "We were four days and four nights on the way. One night we spent at Salida so as to nuke the trip over Mar shall Pass by daylight. We had a fine trip all the way out and met very pleas ant people from all parts of the globe. When we said we were from N. C. they looked at us as if they thought We were strange animals! Coming through Kan sas was like coming tbrpugh a fiery fur nace, the hottest wintf 1 ever felt. The mercnry was 105 in the coolest place in the car, everything was hot to the touch, and we felt parched. At Kan sas City the altitude was 700 ft . temp 100°; at Denver alt. 5000 ft.. 70°; Sa lida is 7000 ft., 60°; Marshall Pass, the highest point, 10.855 ft. mercury down to freezing, had snowed the day before and we could see patches of snow in several places on the mountains. Delta is a small place, about 3000, altitude 4000 ft. The sun is very hot, but the nights are cold, last night it dropped to 60°, mountains in sight. It is a peculiar looking country. The mesas or table-lands look like old forti fications one behind another. Very few tiees, and they depend on irrigation entirely. This makes the mosquitoes bad, the piazzas are all screened. Mr, Chase told us it was very dry and dusty here and rarely ever rained, but Friday they had a real cloud burst and rain for two days, and when we got here there was a regular flood. Our train was de layed by a washout, we came to a dead stop, the creek was rushing over the track. There was too much water to go through the culvert, and the track was covered with rocks and mud. The section bands struck and we were de layed* few hours. I've never seen Such angry looking water, it was like liquid mud and carried everything be fore it. The nud here is like putty. "Mrs. Chase and Edwin, their ten year-old son, met us at the station. In their beautiful and convenient home, they have a Jap boy for servant and he is a treasure. He does everything, is a fine cook, serves the meals beautiful ly, hi* kitchen is spotless, he cleans the house, does the laundry and keeps up the lawns. 'We are having the most delicious raspberries and vegetables of all kinds. * 4 I wish I could write you a descrip tion of the Royal Gorge and the canon; it was grand. We followed the Arkan sas River almost to its source between mountains, one and two thousand feet. These mountains are mostly rock, but the coloring is wonderful; there are few trees on them i»nd they are very scrubby ones. On this side of Mar shall Pass we come down the Gunnison River and the scenery is giand and such a variety of flowers, just like a large flower garden, it was beautiful. .When I came this way before every thing was white with snow. "It tires me to write and I don't know when I can write to anyone else, so please you tell my friends." A Good Investment W, D. Magli, a well known mer chant of Whitemound, Wis. bought a stock of Chamberlain's medicine so as to be able to supply them to his customers. After receiving them he was himself taken sick and says that one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was worth mor- to him than the cost of his entire stock of these medicines.
