§ ~~ oa THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 198f —— -— — | American Midshipman Says Scotch i Are ‘That Way’ Only in Business Editor's Note: This is the sec- * ond of a series of letters writ- ten by a student at the U. S. na- val academy to relatives in Bis- marek during his training cruise abroad last summer. “They should have given us more time and money to spend in this port (Glasgow, Scotland) and less to frit- ter away in other places. I have had |; only two days ashore; the third one/ I have,the duty, and then we shove off. | “Loch Lomond is the main point/ of interest for me. I took the train! for the little town of Balloch, at its upper end, and made two excursions from that as a base. One was on the} lake, and the other was along the; shore, up to Glen Inverberg, across from the 3,000-foot Ben Lomond, whose awe-inspiring bulk rises| ight from the shore. I'm in love ith the natural scenery of the place. It’s perfectly stupendous and charin- ingly peaceful and pastoral, all in the same breath, if you can conceive of that. The foliage is of the green- est green, of great gnarled oaks and larch trees, with a few boxelders,| elms and the like. The ground is/ { covered with bracken, a large, weed-!4 swallowed. like fern that gives the ground a soft and fluffy look from a distance. | “Little islands rise abruptly out of the southern end of the lake, many FINEST LIVESTOCK IN SLOPE SECTION of them almost as high as they are | wide, and some of them cultivated to @ park-like state of civilization. The lake is almost completely surrounded by high hills, the tops of some of them being veiled in whatever clouds happen to be around. The upper part of Ben Lomond seems to be always misty. They say there is snow on top, but I couldn’t see any—may- be it was too cloudy. ‘The climb up Glen Inverberg was interesting to me, but I hadn't time to follow the interminable windings of the footpath up the gradual slope of the glen; so I took off up the steep hillside—and promptly got lost in the bracken, It had drizzled on it for half an hour just before I started, so you can imagine the result, 1 was sopped to the thighs, but didn’t catch cold. “I've determined to come back here in boots and alpenstock some day and challenge the slopes of old Ben Lomond himself. The lake is his- toric, of course, and has been fought over by nearly every clan in Scot- land. I can see why it was coveted. “The water is pure enough to drink. At least, I suffered no ill ef- fects from the tasteless cupful that There are about six young torrents pouring themselves into it from various glens, and each of these is worth a day's hike to see. There is one outlet, a shallow and muddy connection to the bay. “In the course of our journey up the shore we passed through what) is reputed to be the prettiest village in Scotland—and they have reason for their contention, for the unusu- ally homelike style of houses and the symmetrical layout is aided and abetted by an almost tropical natural WELL- OPINION: IS MAKING A PERFECT FOOL OF OUR UNCLE BIW HE HAS ASKED HER- AND ASKED HER To MARRY AND SHE STIEK PUTS LORA HONEN, YOU AIN'T HALF ET | NOUR BREAKFAST.

Foshay; company included as assets “profits on | eale of properties which were never completed was given Tuesday by C. M. Coble, Omaha, an accountant, ap- @8 @ government witness in the trial of Foshay and six associates on mail fraud charges. In October, 1928, the company en- tered a profit of $47,044, in its ac- counts on the sale of a San Pedro,| Honduras, utility, which was never de- livered, he said. He pointed to three; other entries, two of which listed profits, one of $42,416 and another of $95,487, on similar uncompleted! transactions, while the third listed a| way down from Balloch. “Incidentally, the lake is twenty- four miles long, and seven miles wide at its widest point. The deepest part is directly at the foot of Loch Lo- mond, which would be marked “out- side of sounding” at sea because it is eighty-three fathoms deep, or five hundred feet, about. “The people in these Scottish highlands are the most congenial) we've met yet, and, believe it or not, the most generous. The old tradi- tions about rigid Scotch economy ap- ply only to their business metuods, because their hospitality is not econ- omized on @ bit, and the best meals in Glasgow cost only about fifty cents. I paid “one and six”—a, shill- ing six-pence—which would amount to about thirty-five cents American for soup, meat pie, and plum pud- ding that filled me—even me—com- pletely and was of the best quality.” Royal Neighbors to Meet at New England New England, N.
