Some Observ__tione of the cent Northle-nd Trip. LAST week, ln 107 brief letter, 1 promised to review more at length, oor recent trip to tbe Michigan northland. I want to begin these observation* with a reference to tbe gentleman* ly gonerosltr aqd aasldoona attention of Mn. J, J. Ki-iUY, Oeneral fasten* ger Aaont of ihe Ann Arbor Railroad and bteamship Company. To him, our1 nowapaper party owe tho thousand aad one courtesies and kindnesses In the absence of which an outing of tbis character would be bat a* barren Ideality. Tbe company- whose passenger interests Mr. Klrbv represents, has been particularly fortunate In tbeir selection of this particular official. When tbe traveling public are made to feci that iheir comfort aod safety la tbe manifest cor.com of a Oeneral Passenger Agent, the road he stands for, at onee becomes popular and a mo*/lug population hesitates no longer to entrust to h> its traveling destinies. The Ann Arbor railroad ts extremely fortun ste ln ibis regard. Ou Saturday July 12, our newspaper party, bv pre-arrangement, render* vougpd at th**. lioody House, Toledo. At half past 10 a m. we boarded "trol- levs'Vfor the Ann Arbor railway atation snd exactly at 11 a. tn. steamed theace la a special, aome hundred buckeyes strong, bound for the braes and breezes of. Michigan. From Toledo to Frankfort is a ride of about S00 milea For tba flrtt hundred miles or so, tbe country Is a positive delight Thia year, at leaat, this portion ot Michigan excels Ohio in tbe quantity aod quality of lu bay, wheat and oats. We cover looked upon more promising crops. Tbe golden bsr.cats of Michigan thla year are a reality ' and not a sentiment Tbe writer was over and over again Impressed with the clean bright yellow of tbe wheat ttrotcktng sometimes in moving bil* lows aa far as tbe eyo coald reach and aa yet uncut and un-sbeaved. Before we get too far away from Toledo let me return for a' moment. I omitted tu mention tbe kindness of managiug editor Grouse of tbe Evening Mew| and Mornlag Times. After showing ns over one of the completest dally newspaper plants in tbe conntry, tho party were furnished wltb gratis trolley tickets and in a special ear whirled over tbe city and suburban road of the Toledo Traction Company to the Casino whore free tickets were again furnished to tbe evening's entertainment at tbis popular resort Any return for tho kindness of the gentle-* man who is giving Toledo morning and eveolog. papers as good as tbe best, Will bo mane cncerfnllr by tbe buck * eyo editors wbo remember Mr.Crouse's tkongbtfalne***** with satisfaction cod pleasure. Now we are ready to con-' tlniio our journor toward Frankfort Tbe corn in Michigan is, litis year al I*'-.*., an indifferent crop.. Knee high will catch moat of it For a bnn • drcd and twenty five or thirty miles loto southorn Micbt_.au, tbe country Is a beautiful farming one. Tbe farms aud homes are a delight Tne oouulry U level, pasturage is abundant and every exterior appearance woald lead tbe observer to tbe conclusion tbat tbe people are happy, prosperous and contented. As we approach Cadillac, syrup.ons of tbo onue celebrated Mich* is an, pine, cedar and hemlock forests begin to manifest themselves. Fertile farm lands give place to a loose wblte sand and «.<m-para_|vely trc-rlea* swampy plain*, covered with a earubby undergrowth, una. te reaving and nnlu* vltiiig except for v; hat tbey have been. The tali-ions of slumps It. blackened - everywhere, are silent aentl* ■_os_p that not many years agoue, there waved in majestic grand* eur, tho uoparelleled pine forests of Michigan, tbat, alas, bave been lain low by tbe ax of tbe ploneor, and the demands of twentieth century civil* izstion and development Speaking comparatively, tbe tores, grandeur is it .bin;; of the p-ot 0 tho country tbere are millions of feet of timber yet and at smalt lumber towus on tho line of railway; tho process of working it gcos ccaaoleaslv on. So far as one is able to see these timber regions nre good for nothing else in the world, If excellent fishing ln the email lakes and streams which abound every whore, be excepted. To all appearances you could'nt raise a hatful of beans on a thousand acres. The wblte satfd ia knee deep. Nothing* is growing bat scrub and tbe uncut young pine and occasional hardwood tree*. For twenty tulles, sometimes, you will not arc a bome of any kind other than a lumber7 camp or cabin Tben you will eome to a fertile spot where tbere wiil be several farms succeeded almost Immediately by the arid desert lands again. Cadillac is a lumber town on a small lake central In a large baain and surrounded on every aid*, with blackened stumps of a previous magnificent forest, not a single one of which appears, to date to be missing. . Cadillac had a special interest to me because it is cow aud bas been for several years, the bome of the Uoo. Pat Powers, once tbe printer's devil in the old Standard ofllce, Jackson Oblo. I bavo known Pat ever slnc_»bc was knee high to a duck aad tbat be bad the Irish ambition and energy to get away from the environments of a very bumble bome and carve out for himself an honorable career in tbo wilds of tbe Wolverine stato, la a gratification to not only bis friends, but to every one who delights in tbe success of young men and women, everywhere, lie is not only now a successful publisher himself, the head of tbe scbool system of Michigan by appointment from the Oovernor but a good public speaker and a leader In tbe politics of his party. Abont seven o'clock on Saturday evon- iogJuly 12. we came toa stand-atlb on the shore of Lake Michigan, 300 miles northwest of the Ohio city we left In tbe morning, on |ako Brie. In other words we arrive,at Frankfort. Tbe land of Elysium,' wbere balmy breeaes blow, everyone bearing the murmur of rippling waves and tbe Invigoration that come with pure air aod a temperature like a perfect day in Jane; where the sportsman finds rlcbost reward and the athlete baa a world to himself; where-the giant of broad Lake Michigan is grandly foiled bv sbsdy bills, tbe former enlivened by innumerable pleasure craft and majestic steamers, the other the haunt of feathered songsters, devotee of' tho hammock, book lovers, painters, and those wbo find tbeir greatest pleasure in closest communion wltb nature and tbe Creator's most perfeet work. But tbe aesthetic, the artist, the.-poet aod the romancer, happily can not monopolize the delights There's grandeur enough for all and the beauty oi tt is tbat' all tbo wealth of nature lc at tbe disposal of every visitor. He must be stoical indeed wno can stand upoo iho veranda of Hotel Royal Fronteeac or any of the bluffs overlooking lake Michigan, and watch without emotion tbe mellow fading of daylight Into the f'olden glories ot sunset, the whole horton a burst of prismatic beauty, almost keloidIscoplo iu rapidity of chsoge, exquisitely blending the tlnta which only nature knows how to harmonise. Wben the mantle of nigbt baa fallen aud tbe stars in myriads stud tbe sky, ttie light rays frou>'oe moon sparkling from tho crest oftnillloos of waves—* these and thc ptire, bracing air exciting tbe lovllest enjoyment, Is Its .range tbat merry groups linger fondly Tn \ contemplation of *_.ucb lovitnesc? Fertile farms surround tbe town. This Is Pomona's home- The orchards and vineyards of northoru Michigan are tbe finest in tho universe. Peaches, pears, plums, grape1*, apples, apricots all tbe deciduous fratts grow to perfection. The outline ot tbe lake shore seems aa if formed by nature for a aummer resort , Selecting a point of land about -00 by too rods between tbe harbor asd the lake, there bas been created' a beautiful hotel structure, *._•* feet looar. 90 foet wide and four atorica hir.li, with accomodations for tt£0 guests and ovory room is high and perfectly ventilated. Entirely anrrouodlng tbe house, upon tne second flour is a veranda wllh space to accomedate hundreds ia promenade, and other hundred** iu rocking chairs, with no possibility of crowding. Tbe broad harbor upon one side, a grest inland sea upon the oth'eri a delightful prospect ever greets the eye. The ground floor is devoted to latest indoor games for tke ladles and gents; the second flooraa occupied by a dining hail wltb water view upon either side, a spacious reception room and offices, and parlor en suite. Tbe third floor has a dancing ball that Is simply perfection, and sleeping apartments. The fourth Is devotee entirely lo sleeping rooms. This magnificent structure bears a be* Uttlug uamo-THE ROYAL FRONTS HAOROTBL. The moving spirit io making this delightful i-pot not only no slide bat essy of access, has been for twelve year* past, ths Oeneral Passenger A- J ent of tbe Ann Arbor Railway, Mr. .J. Klrby, mentioned in the beginning of ibuse observations. No more geuTa), gencrou. and accomodating of* tidal is associated with any road than Mr. Klrbv and largely to his ceaseless activity for the past dozen years is due tbe splendid achlevments aud popular* ity of this great thoroughfare ot travel of which bo is the worthy representative. It might be, and perhaps ought to be, sdded bere that during the eutire fifteen years that the Ann Arbor railroad bas been operated, not a single traveler baa been the victim of fatal disaster. Such a record entitles It to a reputation for safety second to none ln any civilized country. Rut tbere is aho great historic Interest in tho site of the Royal Frootenae hotel.. Where it now stands tbe best Iiidla-i tr-uH-lin.*. loll tU M quelle, tbo Jesuit missionary explorer was burled. It was in 1060 that Father Marquette left Quebec to explore tbo Qteat Lake region, lie made himself popular with tbe Indians and tbey became his faithful followers. But after three years of sickness, death overtook Marquette and the Indian tradition tell us that his body was buried on an island at tbe month of fifth river south of Traverse Bay. Nothing more wsa thought of the matter until 1W0 when tbe contractor waa removing the bill from the island at tho month of tbe Betsy river at Frankfort to build tbu Royal Froutenac hotel. Abouv_sli__] feet from the top a skull waa found. A little later tho excavators found a small crucifix. It was taken to Toledo, cleaned and examined. On tts base is ibe Imprint "C. __ M., Quebec, 1004." There is little doubt tbat the skull and crucifix belong..-d to Marquette. Tbey will be kept at the Royal Frontensc hotel In tho faturo. In charge of this superb hostelry Is a gentleman who is known aa the most successful summer hotel msnsger ln America—Mr. J. R. Hayes, now and for years proprietor of Way nn Hotel, Detroit: Park Uotel. Uot Springs, Ark; sod Park Hotel, Sault -*_e Marie. The enterprise of the Ann Arbor Company has made it ao eaay to reach Fraokfort that Ohloans will becomo more closely acquainted witb this most charming resort Just go to Toledo and tho rest is easy; tbe road is straight and the travel swift and comfortable. But to revert again to incidents of our recent trip. Until I went to northern Michigan, I never caught a fish, worthy cl the name ia my life-. If I could impress npon the minds of tbo "Isaak Waltona, of Pika coahtv the superior angling facilities of tbe lako region and induce Jim Emmitt for instance, to take a trip thither, and eojoy himself as I know be could for a few weeks, I should feel that I bsd contributed not a little to the sum of bla human happiness and enjoyment. On Tuesday afternoou a trio of our party wont over to Bay Point on Cry* tai lako, tbe "Swltzer Oeneva" of America, aod ln two hours and thirty minutes, carried back to the hotel a airing of perch and baas, Ln weight from a half pound to four pounds, exactly eioiit r_._rri.-J x___-taTHand that's no "fish story." It was wanton sport however, as they were buried for lack of either purchaser or cook. And right hsre let me offer a little gratuitous advice. If you ever go into northern Michigan for sport or an outing, dont put op at a hotel. Oo pro- pared to stay at leaat three weeks snd tben camp out In this way you will gst tbe full benefit of the healthful climate and the Invigorating ozone be* fore which nay terSt and catarrh go down In utter rout Tou can ble yourself with boon and rod to the biding places, In tbe small streams, of the speckled trout; to the small Isles to argue It out with tho wary baas, the pickerel and the kingly muscallonge. And then you oan go to camp and cook tbe delicious game to suit yonr own individual epicurean taat*. But I must draw rein at some point Tba Michigan outing in company with such genial and splendid . "print." as Smith of tbe Pomeroy Leader, Oay man of the Canal Winchester Times, Alderman of the Marietta Register, Simmons of the Portsmouth Blade, Korth of tbs Porumouth Correapoodent Powers of the Marion Star, Reed ot tbe Prairie Depot Ashbrook of tbe Jobostown Independent, Ballet, the clown ot tbe ?tarty, wboee town and paper I have orgetten and others wbom I cannot now recall, will .- remain ior veers to come, a pleasant memory. Tbe boys wbo remain away from these respites each year arc making mistakes not only as to pies-sure*of tbis Iff., but aa to the profit from contact with the world abroad and touch with the otbertellow and bla experience-, instead next -year ot a hundred, tbere ought to be four hundred Obio - publishers go out together and take the eouttry by storm.

Durham and Mra. W. H. Middlelon, representing respectively Ireland, Japan. Italy, Germany and America, were-''trigged''out to represent as faithfully aa might be the several lands tbe publio were invited to visit and where they might be able to learn something of the custom and habits of other peoples. It is impoasible with the space at our command to go into the details of thia most interesting and remark* able entertainment. The multitude of character, together with the numerous charming and splendid exhibits at eaoh of the homes mentioned, would make a volume if reduced to oold type. The first country you visited was Germany, the rulers of whieh were impersonated by Judge Dill, Emperor and Mra. Yale of Xenia, Empress. t Tbe next in order came Italy, with J. J. Myers as King, Mias Anna St ration as Queen and Miss Anna Smith aa Queen Marguerite. Following next came Ireland with some characters of distinction, notable, in the gorgeous personages of Messrs Bob Mendenhall and Levi Moore; and the Misses Margaret Buell and Fatrie Cline. /** Then you traveled on to Japan wbere C. P. Gabelmao was tbe Mikado and Mrs. G. B. Nye the Empress. Tben you oame back bome to America, the land of the brave and the home of tbe free, where Mr. K. K.

Miss Katie Hutt impersonated Misa Alice Roosevelt and Cashier Watts made up an ''Uncle Sana1' juat to real for anything. Misa Jean Emmitt made a handsome Columbia and Miss Jessie Smith an equally entrancing Goddess of Liberty. The Father and Mother of our Country were well represented in the peteoos of H. J.

We understand tbat as much probably as $130 was netted to tbe Aid Society. This society has grown to be one of the strong arms of the Methodist cburch and, without the cooperation of which, the latter would be materially weakened in more than one respect. The ladiea wbo threw open their homes, in our opinion, for the entertainment in question, made no little sacrifice in more regard than one and their kindness in this respect sboold be sincerely appreciated.

Ou Saturday July 12, our newspaper
