to Flint, an industrial center with an enumeration of 156,492. Here we spent a couple of hours, the younger generation viewing the city sights while I visited with John V. Ruby, a nephew of Thomas Raltxell ond cousin of Nathan Roop H nd my boyhood friend of 611 years ago. Resuming our journey on route 31 we arrived at Port Huron at 5 |p. m. This is a city of more than 130,000 population, located at the outlet of Lake Huron into 3t. Clair I river. Mr. Messenger’s uncle, Silas ■ IJnd, resides at this place and he very cordially invited us to spend the night in Ills home. At 7:40 a. m., June 6, we boarded the ferry boat, and in six mln- ' utes were in Sarnia, Canada, In I King George's dominions. The ' Canadian officials were very polite, inquiring only our names, birthplace, and the number of our car, with no search and seizure. Sarnia, a city of 16,000 population. seemed to be mainly interested in the shipping industry. From there we followed "The King’s Highway,” number 7. a name applied to all government improved roads, to Warwleh, number 22 to luondon. number 2 to Hamilton, and number 20 to the Falls. The larger cities we passed through were London. Woodstock, Brantford and Hamilton. At the latter place we qscended a 300foot bluff by cable car and had a wide view of the city and Hamilton Bay. A few miles east of Sarnia we noticed a salt works at the roadside and stopped for information: I we Tound a Russian born manager in control. He stated the well was , more than 1,300 feet in depth, and j consisted of a saturated solution lof 100% gravity salt, so that there ' was not need to force hot water 1 into the well. My osbervations as we passed i through the province of Ontario 'were: It is a level fertile country, 1 well adapted to agriculture; the [farm houses are mostly brick, substantially built, the barns are large but unpainted, thtye are large apple orchards, but a scarcity of other varieties of fruit: many sheep, few hogs, horses of Clyde and Shire breeds, cattle mostly of dairy type, but a few Hereford and Galloway feeders; but few tractors in use. "We arrived at Niagara, Canada, about 7 p. m. Did not hear the Voice of Niagara until within five blocks of the river. We parked our car near the river and soon had our first view of that mighty torrent.. After a short view we drove I three blocks from the river to a tourist camp where for 25 cents we were given permission to set up our double tent, with the use of a hot plate and shower bath.: 1 added. Some bargain. 1 say. and ■ fully enjoyed. After a full meal and dishwasltI ing we returned to the river side, 1 going from near the suspension 1 bridge to the very edge of Horseshoe Falls, watching the colored lights play on the falling water. Blue, orange, green and red—uniting. separating, blending, shifting —all a combination of the river s power and the art of man. As our visit was at the full of the moon we had an extra treat a moonbow caught in the mists and spray from the falls. Not as brilliant as the daylight kind but beautiful. As we watched the scene a sort of poetic reverie caught our fancy, as expressed in the following lines: To Niagara I You summon your forces from valleys and mountains They drop from the rain clouds that ride on the breeze They laugh in the rivuless—gush from the fountains And their camping grounds from four great Inland seas. Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie, Though bearing the commerce of adjacent shores Press on with a vigor that never grows weary To answer the call when your cataract roars. But ere they attain it an intake is snaring A of your forces to serve weak man's will. And far underground three conduits are bearing These captives like Samson, to grind in a mill. A mill that produces by sVift generation. Electrical current that radiates far. Charged with energy, power, bright illumination. A wonderful resource in peace, or in war.

i deep muffled thunder And send up toward heaven an increase of spray. The rainbow of Hope is enshrined In your mist cloud, [ Dark death and despair reign supreme neath your wave. i There many a mortal is wrapped in his death shroud. But a few have been rescued by rivermen brave. I Roll <>n mighty river — your feat ; ures endpring The blasts of the ages, the onslaughts of Time Hold a strong fascination, enchant-, Ing, alluring, Thou Queen among wonders —Ma- 1 jestic—Sublime. On the morning of June 7 we I were un and out by sunrise chas- j ing rainbows, but found none; later we were informed that rainbows did not appear until in the afternoon when the rock ledges served as a background for the spray. We had barely finished break fast when a good looking y >u»»g man appeared and offered his ser- 1 vices as guide and conductor to the several points of interest. After some good natured chaffing we agreed to accept his services at what he assured us was half regular rates. |3 for the four, he turn ishing the conveyance, and soon we were happy on our way. Our first stop was at the electrical generating rooms, where, 1.- i 500 feet underground we saw the giant dynamos and turbines used for that purpose. Then upstream to the intake and power plant. Our 1 guide assured us that one ol the I buildings at this point, both in size j and architecture, was an exact: duplicate of Buckingham Palace. ! Then to the burning well whose | I waters rise to within 8 or 10 feet | jof the surface of the ground. A I torch lighted and held near the I I water’s surface will ignite a flame; j a inetal pipe inserted in this flame will conduct it to the top end of. the pipe; the flame is blue at its j egress, but turns red in the air. j We were each given a half glass I of water and requested to drink' ft; a match applied to an empty l glass produced a flash. The water had a sulphurous taste. Whether this exhibit was a natural phenomenon or artificial take I cannot tell, i It was during this stop that we ' saw William "Red'' Hill, and the . barrel in which he claims to have | conquered the falls, the gorge and I the whirlpool, it is also claimed I that he has rescued eleven persons U alive, and 117 bodies from Niagara's 'waters. One rescuejs typical. On] the afternoon of August 6, 1918, a J barge being used on the upper 11 waters of the river broke its tow-| line, and in spite of effort to cap-‘I ture it was borne down the river;; with two men aboard. A halt-j: I mile above the Horseshoe Falls it: grounded on a reef and stuck fast,| ; A line was shot across the boat and , a breeches buoy started to the res-: cue of the men but the lines tangled and several times Hill went out l to untangle them, sometimes with-1 in 120 feet of the barge, but the) rescue was not effected until the' following morning, when the men's | “hair was white, but not with ■ years." The wieck oi the barge still clings to the reef. Our next stop was at the whirlpool. where we did not enter the I aerial car. but were content to stand by the bannister and watch the mighty river, baffled by a rock: bound barrier, swirl in its anger and pass on at a tangent from its, former course. 1 will say right here that the land ( bounded by Lake Erie and Lake I Ontario, the Welland Canal and Niagara River Is a park system called Victoria Park, with govern-1 Iment ownership and upkeep. From the whirlpool we returned ’to the tourist camp, struck tent and

crossed the suspension bridge to the American side of the river, crossed the bridge to Goat Island and went down to the water's edge by the American falls. In a short time storm clouds rolled up from the southwest, advancing rapidly. We hurried to the rest house for shelter, and in a few minutes there seemed to have been a whole bat tery of goats released for a mass initiation. Trees were blown down, limbs torn off and telephone lines ; damaged. In the rest house the cosmopolitan spirit of America was evident, for we did not stand on ceremony, but were just folks, and , the man from New York and the I man from Washington were equally 'at home. When the force of the wind abat i Ic'd we literally piled into our coupe ' and our home journey began. In jthe city of Buffalo we were stopped by an official and thought per-' | haps we had violated some city I 'ordinance, but he only wanted to I I know whether we knew where we ' were gioing. and gave us explicit | directions for getting out of town ] The rain continue d most of the at ' ternoon, so we drove to within 15 miles of Erie, Pa., and rented a double cottage for the night. June 8 we arrived at the home of H. V. Perking in Cleveland Heights. Ohio, where we found him . busily engaged with incidentals connected ?>ith the close of his school term. The special feature of the day was a picnic by the editorial staff of Roosevelt junior high school paper, of which his oddest •son Is a mentlier. As the young publishers had received the perterence over 2, competitors they i thougTfi it highly fitting that they should celebrate and my son was drafted on the transporation com- . mittee. During the afternoon my son took ; "we four and no more" on a ride through Cleveland Heights, along: ; Shaker lakes, and to museum of art. all quite interesting. My son said school finances in Cleveland I were not at par. as the teachers' 'had received-only 41 per cent of! their wages on the four last pay;

days. Friday morning we visited the terminal tower above the Union Station, ascending in the elevator to the 42nd story, from where we had a wide view of lake, harbor and city. We then visltml the "home in the sky" on the 17th floor of the new Hlgby building, where the i Builders Supply Co. has fitted several rooms with the latest in building designs and material, also house fiirnudiings. Leaving Cleveland about noon we came on route 2, the Lake Shore Drive to Lower Sanducky, then by detour a few miles south to the' 1 Blue Hole- a natural opening between 40 and 50 feet in diameter through which a subterranean stream rises and flows away through two exits, forming a trout stream. It was discovered in 1760, by Robert Rogers. Depth unknown. Temperature 48 degrees winter and summer, never ireezes, and is not affected by floods or drought, and discharges 5,000 gallons of water: per minute. From the Blue Hole wo turned north on route 6, crossed Sandusky, Bay on the toll bridge and camped at Port Clinton. Next mli ning we broke camp early, coming through Toledo. Adrian, Jackson.

DENY PETITION FOR LENIENCY Gov. McNutt Denies Leniency For Murderer of 12-Year-Old Girl Indianapolis, July 18. dJ.R) Do nied leniency both by the supreme court and Gov. Paul V. McNutt, Glenn Doland Shustrom, former Galesburg, 111., high school student, will die in the electric chair at Michigan City state prison July 28 for the murder of Alberta Knight, 12-year-old Whiting school girl. A last minute plea for commutation of the sentence was made before the governor late yesterday by James H. Conroy and his son, Elliot, latke county attorneys. They said the condemned youth ! was a victim of hereditary insanity and had been underprivileged ' throughout his life. They argued that the murder was committed ' while Shustrom was in a drunken stupor and therefore was not premeditated. "Tills prisoner has been given an extreme penalty for an extreme crime," McNutt said in denying the plea for leniency. “It is not for the executive to make laws, but for the legislature. I I conceive It the duty of the executive to determine whether a ■ miscarriage of justice lias occurred (and if it has to remedy that mistake. But in this case I see no miscarriage of justice. This was a horrible crime. From the testimony and record of the case. I am bound to say that 1 cannot see that there was any abuse of discretion by the trial judge." Alberta was choked to death with a wire alter being criminally attacked, evidence at the trial disclosed. She was the daughter of the woman from whom Shustrom rented a room. The supreme court recently upheld ‘Shutrom's conviction.
