Tilis is a ve.'.v popular sport for Sunday aftei noons both for au- tos and Pedestrians. Every con ceivable kind of machine, froir the cheapest to the flu ist, is in evidence, which travel so fa.-t land thick you vonder how they 'keep from colliding. At times tliey are so thick you cannot count them. As above stated, we stopped fit t!ie Hotitl LiSalle said to bj the finest and most "clasBj " in t'io Uuitwd States, in fact tnero is only one other r J n oi the sam.1 basis as the La Sal'e. We are not dis apointed with the service received but would ro pniiiviwl a more mod orate priced lute!, such as the Sherman, in liewof thVj LiSalle. Right here, let me add that my object irijjivinjj you the Hotels at which we stop is a matter of information or as a guide for those of my readers who may. take the trip later, as I hope many of them will. . Monday, June 14th On our wayto breakfhst in the Kook-' weed Room of Toe LaSalle, we are tnfat by the morning papers glaring headlines announcing the street car strike, which tied up every car. both surface and elevated lines for four; days. When I state that aiout 2.800. 000 use these cars every day you meant to have them all suddenly stop ped, : Most of Chicago's work ing people live from 5 to 15 miles from the business section, and the stopping of the cars caused quite a confusion. More than a million people walk ed to work, numbers did not get to work at all, while others used automobiles and any kind of con yeyan"e tlat could he imagined To add to the discomforts of thoe that hud to 'go a drizzle lasted the greater part of the, day. ..!;''' . , On account of the - congestion and." dis arrangement of trans portation facilities we were -not "qit- to see as much of Chicago as we had intended. No cars run ning and no automobiles to be had, but we made the most of tae situation by ; visiting the points ot interest in the down confinement in the jail 'which Humphries claimed caused illnrs on account of no heat in the dead of winlei, the defendant town is t3 pay court costs of this term and case cotinued until next term " '' . -i'itw if--? S the large department stores, such as Marshall 'Field & Co., which store covers an entire city block and is nineteen stories high. Al most anything and everything is carried at . this store, and in aduuion to the various depart ments it runs for ttie convenience of clerks and customers severa large diii'nc rooms where meals can be had at modfeiate prices, we took ianch here and found it first class. We leave at ti;4r . p in. over the C. & N. W. for St. Paul, but in passing allow ir.e to state.that the C. & N. W. depot is worthy of note. It is said to be the finest in t'le world and handles an average of ')),000peo pie every day In the year, of which number 5,100 to ti,000are between the hours of 5 and t5 o C'oi'K in the afternoon, This af ternoon, however, on aoco.mt of the strike more than 50,03 used the station between 5 and "7 o- clock in an effort to get home on the local trains. To gio yon au idea of the size of the depot the following facts are given: It co-ers twenty acres ol lan d has six miles of track under the Vied and room for twenty-one trains to take on or discharge passengers at one time; over a thou ja.id engines pass in and out of it everyday: The main wait ing room is 100 by 200 feet, with saveral adjoining rooms with all modern convenience. With these facts the reader can better imagine how" 50,000 people can be handled at onj depot in the short sac,'. of two hours, even if they cannot account for, every one getting ou the right train, The C. & N. W. not only have excellent lepots but run the best of trains, We traveled on the "North Coast Limited" a solid Pulman train, carryirg diner, lounging and observation cars. Passing out of Chicago we trav el over excellent roadbeds, miles and miles of it perfectly straight and level, we view on either side fine farming snd grazing lands in the heart of the State ot Wis consin. ': ; Tuesday, Jane 15th. Up ear ly and out on the observation car to get the benefit of the in vigorating breezes and enjoy the fine farming scenery. We have traveled all night at a rate of speed that put behind us a- bout four hundred miles of this' level productive country while "we slei: t. . We soon pass out of Wisconsin into Minnesota and begin' to got in a little more rolling land. At Hudson, Wis., which point is located on a beautiful lake about four miles across either way, a ' Push" engine is attached to our train. After crossing one end of the lake we kirt the lake and climb a considerable grade for several miles. In the early morn ing sun this affords a beautiful scene across the lake.
