|#| SHADOWY ST. JOE |:
E “The Switzerland of America” =
This is the term very aptly applied to the St. Joe country and Coeur d'Alene Lake region by many
travelers and tourists, who, after visiting some of the most noted beauty spots of the world, have then
taken a trip on the quiet waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene and the St. Joe river. -
Every essential characteristic of scenic beauty is found along this beautiful route of sixty miles. The
rugged rock shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, the quiet dreamy bays by the main water, the towering mountain
sides which greet the sight of the tourist as he glides over the placid waters of the lake, and a ride of
forty miles up the “Shadowy St. Joe,” one of the most beautiful streams in the world,—combine to form a
picture that the sight-seer will never forget. - - - . - .
Many prosperous and growing towns lie along the route between the city of Coeur d'Alene and St.
Joe, the head of navigation. - - • * .
Harrison, an important lumbering and commercial center, is picturesquely situated on a hill about twenty
miles to the south of Coeur d'Alene, on the O. R. & N. Ry. The present town site now occupies the spot
where in 1892 stood a settler's cabin. Such rapid growth and development would be impossible except in
a country of vast natural resources. The town is modern in every respect, has good schools and churches,
a good water system, every business is well represented, and its shingle and saw mills are shipping their
product today to all important markets. - - -
St. Maries, another hustling town, on the St. Joe river, lies at the meeting of the St. Joe and the St.
Maries rivers. Its future is very promising. Scenically it is ideally situated. It has the grandeur of the
mountains, fruitful valleys and an ideal climate. . Like other places in this wonderful country it has been of
rapid growth. With its seventy-five people under the census of 1900 it is today mounting into the hundreds
at a rate astonishing, even to its own citizens. . -
Modern commercial development is giving St. Maries an impetus which bids fair to make it a town to
be reckoned with by its sister towns in the near future.

enterprising class of citizens. -
In addition to the rich natural resources common to this region it has the fertile valleys of the St. Joe con-
tributing to its support. - . -
It has good schools, good churches, all commercial lines fully represented, and above all a substantial and
At the “head of navigation” we find dreamy St. Joe, or such it was yesterday, but not today. Modern
commerce has invaded its quiet and a transformation is taking place which challenges the wonders of
Aladdin. - - -
“What wonders time hath wrought,” is distinctively true of St. Joe, and how short the time. The
building of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway through that section of the country will soon make
accessible the vast forests surrounding that place and all lines of business are rapidly developing. g
At the north end of the lake lies the city of Coeur d'Alene—one of the marvels in city building of the
Pacific Northwest. Eight years ago a village of 500. Today a city of over 8,000—adding about a thousand
a year to its population for each year of that time. Not only has the city grown rapidly in population, but
it has taken on equally fast metropolitan characteristics. Large and substantial brick business blocks, good
public buildings, good schools and well equipped buildings, college and private schools.
This has been pronounced to be scenically one of the most beautifully situated cities in the United States.
The city lies at the lower end of the beautiful lake from which it takes its name, and as an ideal summer
resort is known throughout the entire Inland Empire, every summer many tents dotting the shore line of
the lake, not only within the city of Coeur d'Alene, but for miles up the lake and the St. Joe river. Many
permanent cottages of graceful outline are to be found on the rocky shores and the green covered side hills
surrounding the beautiful water. •
Regular steamers ply daily between the city and upper lake points, and during the summer months many
pleasure boats and private launches may be seen daily skimming the surface of the unruffled waters.
Agriculturally the country is fast developing, many well-kept, and productive farms now being scattered
along the banks of the St. Joe river and around the city of Coeur d'Alene. The soil will grow almost any-
thing that is planted, under proper conditions, fruit raising in itself promising to equal the most productive
fruit districts known anywhere. -** . -
Truly, this is a favored spot—exquisite in its beauty and grandeur, delightful in its climate, and con-
serving in every way all the needs of man.
