Ghost of the glacier and other tales . FOUR HUNDRED MILES OF BEAUTY, their beautiful valley. A wider stretch of water showsitself. On the far side rise massive mountains, threaded bytrains to Heart Lake and Montrose. We continue sweepingthrough the valley toward the Susquehanna, precipitatehills on our right, the superb valley to the left. Emerging from the hills we greet the Susquehanna andfollow it. Now it is upon our own level, now far below. PARADISEFALLS, ^Copyright, i9oo,^Detroit Photographic Co. 3 Uplands rise from its farther shore. Islands dot it. To theright are the rolling hills of New York, cut evenly by fieldfences. Mile upon mile of this — then Binghamton. Still we follow the Susquehanna. Tioga Point rises likea sentinel over the two rivers which flow at its base. Highhills show at the right. From their crest we get on one sidea view of the river, on the other the rolling farm lands. Into FOUR HUNDRED MILES OF BEAUTY, the valley of the Chemung we dip, mountains on one sideagain, a sweeping river on the other. Vistas are opposing wall of the hill-girdled flats rises here a mileaway, there two or three. White tents glisten occasionallyby the rivers edge. Waving fields show green or gold oramber. Ancient orchard trees throw gnarled limbs acrosslong avenues. Tobacco lands lay back from the tracks.
