THE CABIN IN THE WOODS. 



Some Glimpses of the Surrounding Woods. 



BY A. I. ROOT. 



After the convention at Central Lake was 

 over— see page 496—1 was planning to make 

 a call at the cabin, where one of my neigh- 

 bors was making maple sugar right in the 

 height of the sugar season, the first week in 

 April. Bro. Hutchinson had been wanting 



to see my ranch for some time, and so he 

 went along with me, taking his camera, etc. ; 

 and the beautiful views we submit to you in 

 this issue are some of his work. 



The one on p. 661 gives us a view of Grand 

 Traverse Bay as it appears from the JHwn 

 in front of the cabin. Behind those large 

 trees on the right of the picture is "Dick 

 Bassett's Island," of which you have prod- 

 ably heard— the Robinson Crusoe island of 

 America. The ground goes down so abrupt- 

 ly toward the bay that the brush you see 

 sticking up in the center of the picture are 

 the tops of tall trees, some of them ever- 

 greens as you will notice. The land visible 

 a way off across the bay is the peninsula or 

 tongue that shoots down from the north.
