Arkville being in the vortex of theangle. You are now entering a charming glade known as thevallev of the East Branch: a fine dairv section, with succulentgrasses, milch cows, milk, milk cans and milk stations in fullsupply. The little stream loiters lazily and winds in and outwith wondrous beautv through the level vale, evidentiv ongrace and pleasure bent, for there seems no other reason foravoiding a straight course, unless it was to increase the charmsof the landscape and annoy the sturdv farmers who till themarginal meadows. To some the water mav seem to run thewronff wav. but it THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. 69 KELLYS CORNERS is the first stop on this newcourse. It is mainly a milk depot, having a dairy insight across the meadow. Some city boarders areentertained at the pleasant farm houses in the vicinityand they thrive wondrously upon the rich and pure products ofthe dairy so abundant there. HALCO 1 XVILLE is the next wav stop amid thesequiet surroundings. It has several houses for summerentertainment in and about the hamlet, all of whichhnd guests when the season comes around. A bit ofa lake will be seen on the right as the train moves onward,where sundry aquatic sports are enjoved. There are good roadsfor driving and cycling leading up and down the valley.
