Written by W.O Atkeson, of the State La- bor Commissioner’s Office, I had often read of Hahatonka, down in Camden county, Mo. Two years ago there was much talk about | the State buying this wonderful place, | consisting of about 7,000 acres of the | ruggedest land, for a State park. Ihad been down the James and! White Rivers and had visited nearly all the interesting places which Na- ture has allotted to our grand old State and longed to see Hahatonka. Day after day during the hot sum- mers I labored at my desk, I dreamed of a trip to Hahatonka. Several times | I arranged with one of my fellow la-| borers to go, but something always | ntervened. | I was at the station at 7 o'clock a. | m., ready for the outgoing train to/| Bagnell, a village on the north bank | of the Osage and about 40 miles | southeast of Jefferson City. I ar-} rived there in due time and was soon | on my way to Hahatonka which is Lebanon. Uncle Sam’s star route man was at the station at Bagnell and graciously offered to take me to Linn Creek, the county seat of Camden county, 20 miles distant for one plunk | and a half; but said I would have to wait an hour for the postmaster to sort over the mail. I took this an- nouncement cheerfully, and, as it was a sunshiny morning, after tak- ing one square look at Bagnell, I strolled down to the beautiful, crook- ed Osage river, where the ferry boat swung to its cable. Thence, follow- ing a cowpath, I climbed up the great bluff some 300 feet above the river. Here I found some wonderful shelv- ing cliffs which afford splendid ning table, kitchen cabinet, oak finish_china-cabinet,Sunshine—washing mae |°ters needing shelter. “The outlook | ~ chine, steel davenport, quarter oak library table, 100 young Rhode Island hens.

Such roads! My companion on the front seat did not seem to be particularly communica- tive, and after I had made a few suit- able remarks about the glorious morning and the beautiful tinted forests, without eliciting any response I lapsed into silence--only occasion- ally giving utterance to a grunt when the Government conveyance struck a rock or a stump or chugged a little harder than I was anticipating. But I soon found that I was going to get the worth of my one and one half plunks. We followed the Ridge Road (when not in some deep revine) along the tortuous Osage a distance of 20 miles to Linn creek—by direct | line only 8 miles. It took just 6, got there in time for supper. | Soon we were on top of the moun-! tains and ourdriver pointed out across alimitless looking forest—a_ beauti- | ful scene at that time of the year— several miles away to the Water, Tower and the Castle and assured us| there was Hahatonka. The beauti- ; ful vision was soon lost, for it is as! true in that country as elsewhere | that wherever there are hills there | are valleys or ravines and gulches; but we finally arrived at Hahatonka— | the most picturesque landscape in| Missouri, if we except the Bald Knob | country of Taney county. Our guide | hitched his horses to mammoth oak— } a veritable king of the forest--and | we went afoot to inspect the handi-| work of God and of man.

The driveway passes | over this bridge, which is 50 feet) wide on top, and the stream below | passes through a hole in solid rock atleast 20 feet high and 40 wide. Splendid driveways had been laid and built by the former owner through the natural forest, and, fol- lowing one of these, we soon came to the giant Water Tower, 35 feet! square at the base and about 80 feet high; then we came to the splendid stone stable—finished outside like a large city home and fine enough for the home of a millionaire; but it was never completed in the interior.

There was a_bearing- down pain in my back and the kid- ney secretions bothered me. I also had pains in my head and was both- ered by dizzy headaches.
