SILU BEAUTY SPOT
BEING DEVELOPED EBB
GENERAL ENJOYMENT
Except to those who have the
privilege of driving out Seward's
delightful highway to the north,
it is not perhaps generally
known that a private estate is
being converted into what will
eventually become a “Glen
Echo" retreat or an “Idle Wild’’
semi-public playground for Sew
ard citizens and far-away visit
ors in a setting of sylvan beauty
that only this portion of Alas
ka affords. It is on the estate
of H. V. Hoben between Miles
3 and 4 from the city, directly
adjoining the highway, just the
right distance for an automo
bile jump or a pleasant walk
for picnic enthusiasts or lovers
of Nature who would seek com
munion with her visible forms.
The work has been going for
ward as Mr. Hoben’s plans de
veloped and in another season j
the place will be an extraordi
narily lovely one. A natural
glen with two lively mountain
streams is being cleared. On one
side a miniature lake has been
formed. This side now has a
rustic entrance with an attrac
tive fence which has been nec
essary to keep out the wild crea
tures that have bee neating
tree plantings as fast as they
were put in. One of the streams
has also been bulkheaded off to
straighten its course and to pre
vent overflowing. Around the
lake another fence will be put
up to keep the beavers which
Mr. Hoben will introduce there.
A sylvan -walk encompasses the
entire glen around the steep1
side of the mountain.
On the east side of the road
the smaller trees and shrubbery
are being cleared out over an
acre or two, each side of this
clearing also being traversed by
a stream.
This will make a delightful
open grove for picnic parties or
childrens’ outings. A large bar
becue stove will be set up and

desire to provide beauty spots

called his park program since
it becomes the fourth of almost
similar projects, three of which

It’s as easy and natural to enjoy the fragrant mildness of a Camel
Cigarette as it is to admire beauty when you see it.
Camels are made, and always have been made, for discriminating
smokers—the people whose keen judgment unerringly selects the best.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be an expert to enjoy Camels! The
delicate, mellow fragrance of those choice sun-ripened tobaccos is some
thing that anybody can appreciate. Camels are naturally smooth and
mild — never parched nor insipid.
Why is there such a swing to Camels? Because more and more smok
ers are learning the difference between true mildness and mere flatness. *
Give yourself the luxury of a cigarette that’s always pleasant smoking.
