[[line across page]] Left Elk River at 5:20 A.M. Train poked and waited & did not reach St. Paul till 7:30 Had 20 minutes to go up town & get ticket & back to depot & got trunk checked. Was just 4 minutes late and last the 7:50 train. We had to wait till 7:30 P.M. for next train - could have gone at 1 P.M. by other R.R. but had tickets by the C. St. P. M. & O. Went to Delicatessens Restaurant & paid a big price for a poor breakfast. Waited at Depo till after noon.

then went around town. Went out to capitol & through lower part of it. Saw a lot of old tattered flags mostly taken in battle and of Minn. regiments. The Capitol is of red brick, very plain, looks like a school building. Is not nearly so nice as the state houses of Calif. & Colorado. Went up on hill N. of statehouse & looked over town. Could see a large part of St. Paul - very smoky. Pioneer Russ building seems to be the highest in this part of town, about 12 stories Counted 30 church spires from top of hill. [[end page]] [[start page]] Could not see far it was so smoky - Central Presbyterian ch. is one of the spires I saw - Convent of Visitation is large. Nice houses on the hill. Both cable & electric cars - passer domesticus com. in streets - Saw the Hotel Ryan - No snow on ground at home or at Minn. A sharp, frosty morning ground froze - A clear day, thawed in sunshine -

Good farm houses Small orchards - Hills rarely 40 feet high - Nice little towns A little snow in N slopes - [[end page]] [[start page]] Saw a Red squirrel - No Geomys hills - Country leveler & more trees as we get nearer Chicago - More snow than at home - Went a long way through suburbs of C - Followed along river River full of ships - larger than I expected N.Wn. Depo is fairly good - Transferred to M.C. Depo - an abominable shed. Had to wait from 11 to 12:20 - Tramped around town some - looked at boats Saw some tall houses over 18 stories - or tiers of windows

streets narrow & crowded. Teams jammed in a [[row?]] Pavements rough stone. Streets wet & muddy. Town full of smoke. Everything black & dirty - The Tremont is a handsome block - is the Gough Estate. Only 7 or 8 stories, but very nice - of iron & stone, heavily moulded - painted gray - Drugstore - Hardware, & other stores in basement - Saw 2 Passerines for sale in a basket for 75¢ each - were very fat. [[end page]] [[start page]] Followed along shore of lake - some ice out in one place - a lot of ducks in lake. Followed lake shore only a few miles in town - then out in jack oak & marsh country Old beach ridges 8 or 10 feet high follows parallel with lake shore & R.R.. a series of them along both sides of track - A strip of sand dunes well covered with grass & scrub oak (Jack & white oak) and a scrub pine - Marshes & sloughs Few houses & farms - most of the land grown up to brush or in woods & meadows. Sandy & poor

Would like to work the sand dunes along Lake shore - out to get some new things in them [[underlined]] Michigan City [[/underlined]] is a good point to work sand dunes big bare drifts 75 ft high. Strike the lake again - Past Michigan City in Indiana. Woods, brush and swamps, Jack oak, white oak, black oak, 2 kinds of pine, Alders, Willows, Popples, small evergreen shrubs Log houses - Small fields, Rail fences - Low damp ground & must be unhealthy [[end page]] [[start page]] Near Michigan line more woods - larger trees beech & elm & ash - no pine.

Reached Jackson at 5:30 P.M. at dark. It is Saturday & no train for Manchester till Monday - Went to Commercial Hotel & staid over night Arrainged with a man to take us to Manchester with team in morning. [[underlined]] Dec. 13 Sunday [[/underlined]] Had a good nights sleep. Started at 7. A.M. just sunrise. A clear, frosty morning ground froze & rough Had a good rig & team. Came through some little villages, Michigan Centre, Napoleon & Norval Good farms all [[end page]] [[start page]] along, worn fences. fields of nice winter wheat, clover & orchards. Some good sized lakes & creeks - not many marshes - Timber all in small fields or lots. Walnut & hicory, White oak, Black oak, beech & maple & sycamore & elm & Basswood & ironwood - Country all fenced & improved - Small flocks of sheep - good good wrinkley merinos. Reached Uncle Wills at 11 A.M. Surprised them some. Lute & Alice were gone over to Berts - came back about 4 P.M.

& Maggie with them. The old Stone school house lookes very natural. Found that I had a correct idea of the lay of the country & where some of the neighbors lived & fields, roads & fences, Jim Taylor & his wife Mary & 2 girls Lotty & Maud were at Uncle Wills. Lute & Alice & Maggie were all strangers to me, but were soon acquainted. I like Lutes children Maud is about 10 Matie & Clarance a few years younger "Bobby" can just talk Her name is Minnie [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] Dec. 14 Monday [[/underlined]] Went down where old house used to be. Buildings are all gone but the place looks very natural. George Martin's woods are just as they used to be. Part of the dam is there, pond all down, old springs dried up. The old Smoke house is the only building left. Some of the apple trees are still alive. The ponds & old fences look natural Went over to Lutes to dinner & over to Bert Halls after. Rained some most all day

Went up to town in evening to take train for Jackson. Reached Jackson at 10:30 & went to bed. [[underlined]] Dec. 15 [[/underlined]] Left Jackson at daylight [[underlined]] Grass Lake [[/underlined]], a pretty little town [[underlined]] Chelsie [[/underlined]] Nice farms, level tracts, gently rolling. short steep hills, sand & clay soils, stones thick in places Well marked glacial surface Probably a terminal moraine form Manchester south [[end page]] [[start page]] Couldnt tell which was University at Ann arbor. suppose I saw it Ann arbor is a nice town. Reached [[underlined]] Ditroit [[/underlined]] [[Detroit]] at 10 Crossed river on iron steamer - train ran on boat in two parts. Engine did not cross - 3 tracks on deck, each long enough for 4 passenger coaches or 3 vestabule coaches. Got off & road across on deck, crossed quickly, about 5 minutes. River not very wide. So foggy could not see across. Landed at [[underlined]] Windsor [[/underlined]] in Canada

Reached [[underlined]] St Thomas [[/underlined]] at noon. From Windsor country all level, flat, muddy. Lots of good timber, stumpy fields, fences, all rail. Much like Michegan, but flatter & more timber & smaller fields. All long wooled sheep. Heavy clay soil. Too flat & damp to be healthy. Foggy & rainy - East of St. Thomas, higher, more rolling & better farms - Some evergreen beings on east side of St. Thomas seems to be a cedar or spruce or hemlock - is common [[end page]] [[start page]] Crossed the canal at [[underlined]] Welland [[/underlined]] Rained all day. foggy & dark. Reached [[underlined]] Niagara Falls [[/underlined]] a few minutes before dark. Had a good view of them from the Canada side. Looked down on them from high bank above. Crossed Suspension Bridge below falls & over rapids Dark when we came into Niagara Falls Village at east end of falls. Went to Western Hotel, a good $2.00 house

[[underlined]] Dec. 16 [[/underlined]] A clear morning with a little snow and ice on everything. Took a carriage to the falls. The fellow charged a 25¢ & took me around a mile to reach the falls some 20 rods from hotel - Went down the stairway to foot of falls Stones were so icy I could hardly stand. A cloud of spray rolls up from the fall & is like rain for a long way off. There is always a rainbow in it when the sun shines. Went over on Bath Id. toward Goat Id. the 3 sisters & to [[end page]] [[start page]] all the points of special interest - Went down a winding stair about 75 feet & to Cave of the winds. did not dare go under the falls far, the rocks & stair were so icy it seemed dangerous. There are not many visitors now & some places are closed. The steamer, Maid of the Mists, is in a dry dock on bank. The rapids above the falls for about 1/4 mile fall from 40 to 55 feet. They are a series of low falls. They begin at upper end of Goats Is. The fall is clear from

an abrupt jump off at top to river bed below. 170 feet one man told me. The water does not fall as a solid body but a mass of drops. It breaks into drops soon after going over the ridge & the whool front of the falls looks like snow - "The waves looked as soft as carded wool But the cruel rocks gored his sides like the horns of an angry bull" Water seems to go over in chunks & break into drops from the outside of chunks, the center falling faster & forming a cone with point down [[end page]] [[start page]] At Cave of the Winds the water strikes so close to your feet, it give the most impressive effect of any place. The roar & show of power are immense. [[underlined]] Geology [[/underlined]] The rock at top of falls is a [[strikethrough]] soft [[/strikethrough]] sandstone, or sandy mudstone - quite hard, looks like a brown limestone In places is the color of limestone & may contain lime but also fine sand. At bottom of Am. Falls at Cave of Winds the rock is soft shale, easily chewed. It is chunky & thick layers kind of mud shale.

Just above the soft shale in harder rock are chunks of spar formed in cavities - the rock in water power tunnel below falls at level of river is hard almost quartzite. The whole river channel is of horizontal stratified rock of different hardness as those described. The shape & wear of falls depends on kind of rock at edge. The Rapids being a mile below falls & are very rapid - as good as those in the Grand Cañon. [[end page]] [[start page]] A cavon 200 feet deep runs some 2 miles below the falls - I don't know how much farther - It is mostly perpendicular, as wide at bottom as top - White Cedar & Hemlock & birch & junipers stick along sides of a cañon where there is any chance - The islands are all state reservations Goat Is. is all natural woods, about 40 acres The trees & shrubs are some like ours & some like species south of us & some that range N. of us - [[strikethrough]] Progne subis, com [[/strikethrough]]
