 CENTRAL
 
 SUMMER OF 1889.

 PASSENGER DEPARTMENT OF THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL
 
 bearing to the afflicted and depressed a joyous message of 
 restored health and vigor. There are to be found drives 
 and walks and shady nooks enticing to the soul, such as the 
 ennuied and weary sightseer at Eastern social watering 
 places rarely dreamt of and never enjoyed. There are 
 rocks molded into pictured shapes, and abysmal bluffs 
 which drop their steeps in weird and fanciful forms. There 
 are to be seen lakes of wild and often terrible aspect, with 
 inaccessible shores, mysterious subterranean outlets, and 
 waters of fathomless depth. There are antique spots of 
 historic interest, mounds of Indian relics, sacred altars of 
 the early Christian missionaries, and hermitages which still 
 draw hordes of zealous pilgrims to their shrines. There 
 are fish in profusion for the angler, large and small game 
 for the hunter, maidens fair for the lover, and plenty of 
 elbow-room for the incorrigible small boy. There the 
 scientist and antiquary constantly discover fresh fields of 
 research, the clergyman barren of ideas sees sermons in 
 every change of scene, and the impoverished literary fellow 
 weaves abundant romance out of a single month's experi- 
 ence to liquidate his board bill for the remainder of the 
 year. There the ozone diffuses a subtleness that drives the 
 dreamy poet into ecstacies of harmony, and makes the nerv- 
 ous business man stop watching the stock market long 
 enough to inflate his lungs. There the aboriginal Western 
 tribes held their primitive pow-wows, and entered into their 
 first formal treaties with the invading pale-faces. There 
 the early white settlers planted their log cabins, and, with 
 axe in one hand and rifle in the other, struggled vigorously 
 to develop the wondrous resources of the soil. There, in 
 short, has been concentrated the essence of the enterprise 
 of this western country, and there the tide of wealth and 
 fashion, commerce and agriculture, art and society, emigra- 
 tion, and summer tourist travel turns unceasingly to-day. 
 Compare the present aspect of this section with its con- 
 dition a score of years ago, and you can form some con- 
 ception of the magnetic influences which Wisconsin asserts 
 over all who set foot within her borders. The writer can 
 recall the time when a trip into the interior of the State was 
 considered about as formidable an undertaking as a journey 
 to New York. Turnpikes were few and in poor condition, 
 and a divergence of even a short distance from the railroad 
 track was quite a hazardous affair. The farmers of those 
 days were simple folk ; pious, honest, and contented with 
 their lot; unmoved as yet by that uneasy spirit which inevit- 
 ably results from an increasing knowledge of city life and 
 the desire to taste its sweets and partake of its privileges. 
 Suburban trains were then an unknown feature of railway 
 traffic, and at many of the stations throughout the State the
 
 arrival of a stranger could only be attributed to one of two 
 causes: either he must be a new drummer for a metropoli- 
 tan business house, or his visit was in the role of mourner at 
 the funeral of some long neglected country relative. Land 
 sold then for what it would bring; the salient element in a 
 real-estate transfer being the purchaser, rather than the 
 price. Property adjacent to the lakes and streams, and 
 which is now most eagerly sought for, was then commonly 
 discarded by the natives as of little value, its rough and 
 stony character rendering it impracticable for tillage. Were 
 it permitted one to take a bird's-eye view of the State in the 
 early summer months, it would unfold a vision of natural 
 grandeur unequaled on the continent. The sublimity 
 of the Creator's design, the perfect harmony of form 
 and color, and, through it all, the admirable diversity of 
 landscape, might then be better appreciated and understood. 
 As it is, we can only imagine the spectacle from such 
 kaleidoscopic glimpses as can be obtained on a jaunting 
 tour over the State. One of the first thoughts which crosses 
 the tourist's mind is a feeling of surprise that the country 
 has survived so many of the fads of civilization without in 
 the slightest degree detracting from her original attractive- 
 ness. So vast is Wisconsin's territory and so fair her entire 
 surface, that there is no temptation for suburban pleasure- 
 seekers to gather in crowds at any one particular spot. 
 From Chicago to Minneapolis, and far beyond, the country 
 is studded witu the choicest residence sites; and it must be 
 years, possibly centuries, before all the available locations 
 shall have been occupied. Every additional railroad that 
 pierces the State unveils a new treasury of summer resorts 
 to the gaze of the traveling public. Every camping party 
 and logger's crew, who penetrate the interior, return with 
 reports of fresh wonders awaiting discovery in the depths of 
 the forest. Canoe and sporting clubs, who cut loose from 
 the haunts of man to court the perils and adventures of the 
 unexplored streams or untrodden pines, come back with 
 incredible tales of the hidden wonders which they have 
 encountered. Even in the more thickly settled portions of 
 the State are unfrequented and comparatively unknown 
 spots of scenic grandeur. Within an hour's ride by rail 
 from Milwaukee, a little off of the beaten line of travel, 
 loom wooded heights from which may be obtained a view of 
 plain and forest, of silvery creeks and shimmering lakelets, 
 of distant hills and valleys ablaze with golden grain; a 
 scene, indeed, unsurpassed in the world; and yet the appear- 
 ance of a liberally inclined stranger in those parts is so rare 
 an event that it is looked upon by the inhabitants as an 
 occasion for general thanksgiving. 
 
 A drive, or, better still, a tramp through the far-famed 
 "lake region" of Wisconsin reveals to the observant wan- 
 
 5
 
 derer a perpetual change of delightful views. Hundreds 
 of summer cottages, varying in style from the rude cabin of 
 the " camper-out " to the Queen Anne mansion of the 
 metropolitan millionaire, are encountered by the eye at 
 every turn of the road. Some of these private summer 
 homes are truly palatial in their appointments and sur- 
 roundings. Gorgeous masses of bedded flowers line the 
 pebbly walks; the lawn is kept as smooth and soft as a 
 velvet carpet by the continued application of steam rollers; 
 there are stables and boat-houses elaborately finished in the 
 finest of hard woods; the billiard room, bowling alley, shoot- 
 ing gallery and tennis court afford constant entertainment 
 for the visiting guests ashore, while, if they care to venture 
 on the lake, there is always at their disposal a steam yacht 
 fit for a Cleopatra, with white enameled sides, softest of 
 plush cushions, and brass trimmings so highly polished that 
 it seems almost sacrilege to touch them. 
 
 Then, there are boarding houses, summer hotels and 
 kindred places of public resort by the hundred, which spring 
 up on every side. The groves are filled with happy groups 
 of noisy picnickers, whose songs and laughter fall like 
 rippling water on the ear. Fishing parties dot the surface 
 of the glassy lakelets, the hotel verandas are gorgeous, in 
 checked seer-suckers and dainty muslins, strains of merry 
 waltz music float sweetly through the trees, and the whole 
 picture is one of undiluted pleasure and enjoyment. Sat- 
 urday evening finds the trains overburdened with worn out 
 city people, eager to escape the dust and heat and turmoil 
 of their existence, if only for a few hours. Fashionable city 
 pastors are forced to close their churches and go abroad 
 during the heated term, on account of the desertion of their 
 congregations for the country over Sunday, and the metro- 
 politan places of amusement which conform most closely 
 to the rustic style of entertainment are the best patronized 
 indeed, the only ones patronized at all during the sum- 
 mer season. 
 
 Farther northward, the aspect changes and the face of 
 nature assumes a more rugged type. The gently rolling 
 prairie of alternate field and grove gives place to forests of 
 denser character, the clearings become few and sparse, and 
 finally disappear altogether, save at the logging camps and 
 saw-mills scattered here and there along the road. For 
 miles and miles the pine woods extend in solid mass, until 
 the observer becomes overpowered with a sense of utter 
 dreariness, and finds it difficult to realize that he has not been 
 transported back into a primitive age, and that only a few 
 hours' travel serve as a barrier between himself and the 
 highest modern civilization. So intense is the loneliness, 
 that he readily imagines that his present environments have
 
 always existed. The lessening roar of his departing train, 
 as it whirls away through the forest, leaving him bewildered 
 by the unexpected solitude of the pines, seems to his 
 imagination like the parting message of an old friend, of 
 whose companionship and aid he has suddenly been 
 deprived. A few days' sojourn in this apparent wilderness, 
 however, will convince the most fastidious tourist that his 
 venturesome journey has not been in vain. Is he a botanist 
 or geologist? He discovers floral and mineral curiosities, 
 which excite his admiration no less than they test the 
 accuracy of his knowledge. Is he a philologist? The 
 strange types of humanity all about him savage, semi- 
 barbarous and emigrant afford a study which keeps his 
 mental activities constantly on the qui vive. A sportsman 
 or angler? Within a stone's-throw from camp, he stumbles 
 upon a tiny brooklet, teeming with speckled trout of a size 
 which have hitherto existed solely in the camp-fire yarns of 
 his companions. A mile back in the timber he finds a calm, 
 mirror-like lake, whose placid depths disgorge gamy mon- 
 sters, shrunken counterparts of which he was wont to gaze 
 upon with awe, when exhibited at the city fish-markets in 
 days gone by. The next morning, with a half-breed Indian 
 for a guide, he shoulders his rifle, and, if not reduced to 
 total collapse by an attack of the treacherous "buck ague," 
 when evening falls, it finds him footsore and famished, it is_ 
 true ; but bursting with pride as he surveys the magnificent 
 specimens of antlers and bear-skins .displayed at his feet. 
 It takes but a few days of this sort of existence to satisfy 
 the most languid society-swell that life is worth the living, 
 after all. To an invalid, the atmospheric benefits of North- 
 ern Wisconsin are simply incalculable. The air of that 
 region possesses an indefinable purity which no other 
 climate in the world can bestow. A single night's slumber 
 in the open air will drive from a disordered pair of lungs 
 the tainted accretions of a lifetime of stuffy bedrooms. 
 Sleeplessness, headaches, restless dreams, tired awakenings, 
 are unknown terms in the hygiene of the undeveloped 
 Northwest. Quandaries concerning sewage and sanitary 
 plumbing do not as yet enter into the philosophy of back- 
 woods pioneering. The people eat plain food, drink clear 
 water and breathe pure air, leaving their livers and their 
 consciences to nature's beneficent care. 
 
 In this portrayal of the characteristics of the State, 
 names have been purposely excluded. To allow even one 
 to enter, would be to open the gates for a legion. Scarcely 
 a mile of territory, from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi, 
 or from the Illinois line to the majestic Superior, but con- 
 tains within its bounds innumerable spots of enchanting 
 beauty and absorbing interest. Often as this subject has 
 
 7
 
 been dwelt upon, wide as its praises have been sung, there 
 yet remains an inexhaustible mine for future rhymesters 
 and historians. Every summer brings a fresh swarm of 
 pleasure-seekers into this charming realm, and their eager- 
 ness to return year after year speaks volumes for the stay- 
 ing qualities of Wisconsin summer resorts. Other sections 
 of the Union east and west may advertise their attrac- 
 tions and point to their proud career as successful watering 
 places, but the ever-increasing popularity of Wisconsin, 
 the marvelous growth of her tourist population, and the 
 vast number of permanent summer homes in course of 
 erection within her borders, crown her, indisputably and 
 Par excellence, the Natural Park of the continent.

 HOTELS AND RURAL HOMES. 
 
 
 \ SIILAND. THE HOTEL CHEQUAMEGON is one 
 of the largest in the country, comparing favor- 
 ably with the finest hotels in New England 
 and Florida. It is under the management of 
 H. B.Sherman. Accommodation for fully 500 
 guests is found under its ample roofs. 
 Broad piazzas on three sides gi*e an 
 unequaled promenade over 1,OLC feet 
 in length. THE CUISINE is perfect, 
 not excelled by any hotel in the vorld, 
 the Chicago market being the base of 
 supplies for meats, vegetables and 
 fruits. The speckled trout and Lake 
 Superior whitefish caught intheyicin- 
 ity are, beyond dispute, the finest fish 
 ever set before an epicure. AMUSE- 
 MENTS There are within the hotel 
 >ark bowling alleys and billiard par- 
 ors, croquet and lawn tennis grounds. 
 In front of the hotel is a fint dock, 
 properly protected to prevent acci- 
 dents. From this dock, the fine large 
 side wheel steamboat " EmeraM " and 
 the steam yacht " Daisy" make double 
 trips daily to the neighboring towns 
 of Washburn and Baytield, and tours 
 among the Apostle Islands. These 
 boats are under the direction of the 
 hotel and special arrangements for excursions can be made at all times. At 
 the dock is moored the Chequamegon fleet of row and sail boats. Within a 
 radius of twenty miles are a score of streams abounding in brook and speckled 
 trout. The three largest rivers in the vicinity, viz.: the Kakagon, Pad River 
 and Montreal River, afford field for exciting sport in the shape of wall-eyed 
 pike, muskallonge and bass. SPECIAL NOTICE The house is now kept open the 
 year round. For full particulars, address H. B. Sherman, Man; ger, Ashland.

 brated lotus beds, concerning which the Fox Lake Muskallonge says: "Among 
 the most curious and interesting scenes in this northern country are the famous 
 lotus beds of Fox Lake, 111. The readers will remember that it was the great 
 poet Tennyson who sang not many years ago of the wondrous, sleepy redolence 
 
 and the soft, seductive beauty of the lotus beds of Egypt. It was the great queen 
 
 , d 
 
 sk h 
 lotus buds, and it was the same buds that the ancient Greeks once used to dream 
 
 . 
 
 Cleopatra, the most charming of all women, who used daily, in the oppressive 
 heat of her Southern home, to ask her slaves to fan her to sleep with the odor of 
 
 themselves out of life into happiness, as the opium-eater merges himself off 
 into dreamland. Well, it is the same lotus buds that, by some strange process 
 of nature, have found a footing in the cold depths of Fox Lake, and there is, so 
 they say, but one other place in America where they can be found, and that is 
 Florida, the land of flowers. The lotus bud is like the white pond lily, but 
 larger and yellower and fragrant, which the pond lily is not. It has a rich and 
 beauteous center, too, and is as softly delicate in all its parts as the most ex- 
 quisite wax flowers. The fragrant odor of the lotus permeates the atmosphere 
 for miles around Fox Lake, and the sweet perfume of myriads of other varieties 
 of beautiful wild flowers of that lovely region, intermingling with that of the 
 lotus, produces a melange most exquisitely agreeable to the olfactory nerves. 
 Parties daily visit the beds in small row-boats to gather lotus buds. The bed 
 
 ' gc 
 
 srs acres "and acres, and looks like a vast melon-patch on top of the water, 
 with great round green leaves floating everywhere, and these magnificent yel- 
 low buds are thick as daises in a meadow, drooping their sleeping heads beneath 
 the summer sunlight.''
