Remark: Henry Baker Brown and his wife Geneva resided at 303 East Jefferson Street in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. This house was razed in 2020 to be replaced with condominiums.
The house stood on a well known hill in the city referred to as Calkins Hill. The hill was named after William H. Calkins who constructed his house on this hill. Calkins would run as the Republican candidate for governor of Indiana in 1884, but was defeated in the general election by Isaac P. Gray. Calkins would move to Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington, in February 1889 and be appointed a Supreme Court Justice for the Territory of Washington in April 1889. In 1880, Henry Baker Brown, longtime president of the Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute and Valparaiso University, purchased the house for $4,000. The White House Restaurant later occupied the building followed by Calkins Hill Restaurant. In late September and early August of 2020, the large house on Calkins Hill was torn down due to the excessive rehabilitation costs and replaced with condominiums. Prior to the erection of Calkins’ house, the Old Seminary, which served as the town’s district school, was built in 1854 on the brow of the hill. In the fall of 1857, the Old Seminary was razed by flames and no school was rebuilt on the site.

Yannick Val Gesto – Booming
28 november 2015 – 9 january 2016
CINNNAMON, Rotterdam
Opening: Nov 28, 5-8pm
'Deliberately naive' is also a phrase that is applicable to the work of Yannick Val Gesto. His work is an expression of a fast paced world of cyber culture and internet memes, but his prints also give away a longing for in-the-worldness that parallels Rachel de Joode's.
Delving into a wealth of images to be found on the web, Val Gesto cleverly cuts and pastes his source material into intricate works that have a surprisingly painterly quality. Drawing from online subcultures to be found in gaming, manga forums, etc, Val Gesto is specifically intrigued by the amateur aesthetics of 'fan art' that people put online. Val Gesto appropriates and reworks this footage into complex, layered images. Lines, patterns and scribbles are added, seemingly at random and deliberately clumsy, but for the trained eye it is clear that these works are minutely composed and genuinely skillful.
For this exhibition at CINNNAMON Val Gesto has created and installation with mural drawings, prints, and a found footage video, allowing the viewer to be physically present in the otherwise virtual realm of his work. Scanning the room and zooming in on the details it becomes clear that Val Gesto's over-anxious virtual universe entails its own negation: we can read feel good quotes like "Wii are one" and "stay positive" on the works and the walls, a relaxing found footage video of a rainy rain forest plays in the background.

Yannick Val Gesto (Belgium, 1987) studied graphic design and visual arts at St Lucas Academy in Antwerp. He lives and works in Antwerp. Booming is Val Gesto's first solo exhibition in the Netherlands.

The Inca Trail is a magnificent, well preserved Inca Trail route which connects Machu Picchu with what once were other regions of the Inca Empire, and today it is one of the world’s most popular treks. This four-day walk goes from the highlands of 4,200mts and down through the cloud forests to finally arrive at Machu Picchu - 2,380mts.
DAY 01. - Between 06:00 and 06:30 we pick you up at your hotel in our private bus. Ensure you have your original passport and ISIC student card (if applicable – for a discount on entree fee to Machu Picchu).
The journey by bus to km 82 (the starting point for the Inca Trail) takes approximately 3 hours. Once we get there and are all ready to go, this first day will have us walking mostly through the valley. It starts at 2380m with a small climb to a plateau overlooking the Incan site of Llactapata and rewards you with superb views of Mount Veronica. Walking times are always approximate depending on weather conditions, group ability and other factors, but generally you will walk about 2-3 hours before lunch. Then after lunch we walk on just past the village of Wayllabamba to reach our first campsite at 3000m.
Approx 14km, 6 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 02. - Day 2 is the most difficult day as you Inca Trail walk from about 3000m to 4200m — the highest pass of the trek (known as Dead Woman’s Pass – but don’t be discouraged!). You can walk at your own pace and stop to get your breath whenever you like. You’ll find your energy returns once you continue down to the valley of Pacaymayo, where we camp at 3600m.
You can hire a porter from the village of Wayllabamba to carry your pack to the top of this pass for approximately 70 soles. If you wish to do so you must organize and pay this money directly to the person who carries your items, and please check your belongings upon receiving them at the end of this service as these people are not Sap Adventures staff.
This is the coldest night at Inca Trail; between +2/+4 degrees Celsius (in December) and -3/-5 degrees Celsius (in June). Approx 12km, 7 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 03.- Day 3 is exceptionally beautiful because of the ruins you will witness and the incredible stone Inca Trail you walk one, and also because there is a lot more downhill than uphill! However, there are about 2000 stairs descending from the ruins of Phuyupatamarca to those of Wiñaywayna, so take care with your knees. If you have had knee or ankle injuries an extra porter is recommended so that you are not carrying extra weight and overstressing your joints. There is a guided tour of all the ruins on the way. Camping is usually at Wiñaywayna 2700 mtrs.
Take extra care of your personal belongings at this campsite as all the tours campsites are nearby. As usual, always keep your daypack containing your valuables with you. The only hot shower on the Inca Trail is on this third night at Wiñaywayna. There is a hostel near the campsite with an 8min hot shower for 5 soles, and a bar and restaurant where you can purchase bottled water.
Approx 16km, 6 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.
DAY 04.- We get up extremely early to arrive at the magical Intipunku "The Gate of the Sun" as the first rays begin illuminating the lost city of Machu Picchu down bellow. A further 20 min walk down from here takes us to the famous view from the terraces at the end of the trail. It is a good time to take pictures before the 10:30 crowds arrive. Your tour of Machu Picchu should last about 2 hours and finish between 10:30 and 11:00am. Then you have free time to climb Huayna Picchu if you wish (This is the famous peak in the background of most images of Machu Picchu. The trek is about 90 minutes). A maximum of 400 hikers can climb this mountain per day so if you are determined then start immediately after your tour! Or, of course, you may simply just collapse under a tree and quietly reflect in amazement at the mystery, the architectural achievement and beauty of Machu Picchu.
From Machu Picchu, it is a pleasant walk through sub-tropical jungle down to Aguas Calientes (about 45 mins), but if you are weary you may also take a bus – the $7 bus ticket is included and your guide will give you the ticket.
Once in Aguas Calientes you can have a hot shower, and then store your backpack while you go to have lunch, visit the hot springs or shop around the village.
If you are not extending your stay for one night in Aguas Calientes*, you will leave around 6pm to return to Cusco by train or by a combination of train & bus. Please note that during the high season there are a number of different departure times for the trains that run only to Ollantaytambo, from where buses run onwards till Cusco. The type of return journey depends simply on availability. You will arrive back in Cusco around 9 - 9.30pm.
Approx 7km, 2 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.

Porter County Court House
Valparaiso, Indiana
Date: 1914

Remark: The image here shows the third court house constructed in Porter County. This structure was completed in 1883 at a cost of $157,348, nearly 25 percent over the original bid cost of $125,909. The building's footprint measured 128 feet by 98 feet, and had a tower height of 168 feet. A fire at the court house occurred during near zero temperatures on December 27, 1934, and required the assistance of fire departments from Gary and LaPorte to help extinguish the blaze. Tragically, fireman Raymond Meinke died of injuries sustained when his fire truck skidded on an icy highway six miles from Valparaiso on its return trip to LaPorte from this fire. Considerable controversy resulted from this fire; several residents had stated that the county had been warned repeatedly about building safety issues, especially about alleged faulty wiring, long before the fire took place and that these warnings were continually ignored by the county commissioners. William Hutton, an architect from Hammond, Indiana, assisted the county in receiving $100,000 from insurance companies after the fire. In 1936, William Scholer, an architect from Lafayette, Indiana, was hired by the county to prepare two separate plans: one plan for the complete demolition and construction of a new court house, and the second plan for the remodeling of the fire-damaged structure. In the end, remodeling the damaged structure won out. The cost for reconstructing the fire-damaged structure was $172,000, which was completed in 1937 by the the local firm Foster Lumber Company.

Gary Railways Interurban Line, Valparaiso Division, at Milepost 9.5, Crisman
Crisman, Indiana
Date: 1938

Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: The Gary and Valparaiso Railway's Valparaiso Line operated from 1917 to October 23, 1938, when it was abandoned. The interurban provided hourly runs between Garyton (East Gary/Lake Station) and Valparaiso for many years. During the Great Depression, however, the schedule was reduced, with runs being operated every two hours. The discontinuance of interurban service was largely affected by the increasing use of automobiles, an improved highway system, and the financial depression. A freight service was also run on this line, transporting goods between Gary, LaPorte, South Bend, and Goshen. Milk cars were especially important in moving this commodity to larger population centers located to the west; milk cars were run on this line between Chesterton, Gary, Hammond, Indiana Harbor, LaPorte, and Valparaiso. Milk traffic on the line increased from 70 cans a day in 1913 to 270 cans by 1916. Milk cars continued operation from Valparaiso to Hammond until 1924.

The aircraft was being flown on a transport flight from airfield B.44 at Poix, to the SW of Amiens, in France to Renfrew. It had stopped at Leicester East and took off from there during the morning of the 24th July and failed to arrive at its destination. On the 26th July the wreckage was discovered by a member of the RAF, who was on leave, when he and his girlfriend were walking on Bleaklow. The crash site was attended by the Mountain Rescue Team from No.28 MU at Hapur Hill and initially they struggled to track down the parent unit of the crew to report the crash to.
The USAAF accident report recorded that the crash probably occurred around 0900 on the 24th while the aircraft was flying in cloud, which at the time varied between 500 and 1500ft.

Remark: With the Air Line Railroad's completion of their Gary Connecting Railways line on August 14, 1912, the Good Junction served as a centralized point between Gary/Hammond, Chesterton, Valparaiso, and LaPorte. On the track to the left are a Chesterton car, followed by a Valparaiso car, and in the distance is a Hammond car. On the track to the right is a car from LaPorte. The Air Line Railroad was incorporated in April 1906 with the vision of constructing a rail line from New York to Chicago along a 742 mile route, which was considerably shorter than any existing routes at the time. A section between LaPorte and Gary was completed, but the full route to New York was never constructed due to financial issues. The Goodrum station was located at the intersection of the interurban feeder routes arriving from Valparaiso and Chesterton, thereby feeding Gary and LaPorte with passengers from northern and southern portions of Porter County.

LOGIE-BUCHAN, a parish, in the district of Ellon, county of Aberdeen, 2 miles (E. by S.) from Ellon; containing 713 inhabitants.
The word Logie, expressive of a low-lying spot, was given to this place on account of its applicability to the tract in which the church is situated; while the affix is descriptive of the position of the parish in that part of the county called Buchan.
Logie-Buchan Parish Church is located on the southern slope of the River Ythan valley, in gently rolling countryside with small fields, rough grazing and enclosures of trees. There is a narrow trackway and footbridge across the river a short distance to the north. The church stands in a sloping graveyard, bounded by a rubble wall. The large former manse is positioned to the south and the church itself closed recently and a new use had not been found when it was visited (2012).
A church here was granted to Aberdeen Cathedral by David II in 1361, while the current church was built in the late 18th century with later additions and alterations.
Description (exterior)
The church is a small, simple building with little architectural detailing. It is aligned roughly east-west and has harled, rubble walls and a slate roof. There are narrow strips of granite stone around the windows and doors. The church is rectangular on plan, with a small, gabled porch and a lean-to vestry at the west end.
The east elevation has a hipped or piended roof rather than a gable. There are two rectangular windows with simple timber tracery and small panes of leaded glass. There has clearly been alterations carried out at this end of the church, shown by two blocked openings, a doorway and window, in the centre of the east elevation.
The north elevation of the church has four equally-spaced rectangular windows, each with simple tracery and latticed glazing. The opposite south elevation has two larger rectangular windows, towards the centre, again with tracery and latticed glazing.
The west end of the church has a small, gabled porch with a rectangular doorway on the south side, which is the main entrance into the church. There is a rectangular window in the west gable of this porch and a tall chimney rises from the apex, serving a fireplace in the small lean-to vestry extension to the north of the porch. The church has a tall gable at the west end, topped by an ashlar-built bellcote, which has a stone ball finial.
Description (interior)
Some of the fittings remain in the church but are likely to be removed if and when a new use is found for the church, which is no longer in use.

Logie-Buchan is separated on the east from the German Ocean by the parish of Slains, and is intersected by the river Ythan.
The river abounds with various kinds of trout, also with salmon, eels, lounders, and mussels; and pearls are still occasionally found.
It has a ferry opposite the parish church, where its breadth at low water is about sixty yards; and two boats are kept, one for general passengers, and the other, a larger boat, for the conveyance of the parishioners to church from the northern side.
A tradition has long prevailed that the largest pearl in the crown of Scotland was obtained in the Ythan; and it appears that, about the middle of the last century, £100 were paid by a London jeweller to gentleman in Aberdeen, for pearls found in the river.
Most of the inhabitants of the district are employed in agricultural pursuits, a small brick-work recently established being the only exception.
The great north road from Aberdeen passes through the parish, and the mail and other public coaches travel to and fro daily. On another road, leading to the shipping-port of Newburgh, the tenantry have a considerable traffic in grain, lime, and coal, the last procured from England, and being the chief fuel.
The river Ythan is navigable for lighters often or twelve tons' burthen at high water. The marketable produce of the parish is sent to Aberdeen. Logie- Buchan is ecclesiastically in the presbytery of Ellon, synod of Aberdeen, and in the patronage of Mr. Buchan.
The church was built in 1787, and contains 400 sittings.

The church of Logie-Buchan was dedicated to St Andrew.
St Andrew's Church was built in 1787 and has been much altered. It contains a 1728 bell.
Logie-Buchan (Aberdeen, Buchan). Also known as Logie Talargy, the church was granted by David II in 1361 to the common fund of the canons of Aberdeen cathedral, and this was confirmed to the uses of the canons by Alexander, bishop of Aberdeen in 1362, both parsonage and vicarage fruits being annexed while the cure was to become a vicarage pensionary.
Although possession was obtained by the dean and chapter, this was subsequently lost, and the church had to be re-annexed in 1437, the previous arrangement being adhered to, with both parsonage and vicarage remaining annexed.
St Andrew's Kirk, 1787. Undistinguished externally, porch 1891, inside original ceiling with Adam-like centrepiece and two-light Gothic windows, part of 1912 recasting, William Buxton.

Yannick Val Gesto – Booming
28 november 2015 – 9 january 2016
CINNNAMON, Rotterdam
Opening: Nov 28, 5-8pm
'Deliberately naive' is also a phrase that is applicable to the work of Yannick Val Gesto. His work is an expression of a fast paced world of cyber culture and internet memes, but his prints also give away a longing for in-the-worldness that parallels Rachel de Joode's.
Delving into a wealth of images to be found on the web, Val Gesto cleverly cuts and pastes his source material into intricate works that have a surprisingly painterly quality. Drawing from online subcultures to be found in gaming, manga forums, etc, Val Gesto is specifically intrigued by the amateur aesthetics of 'fan art' that people put online. Val Gesto appropriates and reworks this footage into complex, layered images. Lines, patterns and scribbles are added, seemingly at random and deliberately clumsy, but for the trained eye it is clear that these works are minutely composed and genuinely skillful.
For this exhibition at CINNNAMON Val Gesto has created and installation with mural drawings, prints, and a found footage video, allowing the viewer to be physically present in the otherwise virtual realm of his work. Scanning the room and zooming in on the details it becomes clear that Val Gesto's over-anxious virtual universe entails its own negation: we can read feel good quotes like "Wii are one" and "stay positive" on the works and the walls, a relaxing found footage video of a rainy rain forest plays in the background.

Yannick Val Gesto (Belgium, 1987) studied graphic design and visual arts at St Lucas Academy in Antwerp. He lives and works in Antwerp. Booming is Val Gesto's first solo exhibition in the Netherlands.

The Inca Trail is a magnificent, well preserved Inca Trail route which connects Machu Picchu with what once were other regions of the Inca Empire, and today it is one of the world’s most popular treks. This four-day walk goes from the highlands of 4,200mts and down through the cloud forests to finally arrive at Machu Picchu - 2,380mts.
DAY 01. - Between 06:00 and 06:30 we pick you up at your hotel in our private bus. Ensure you have your original passport and ISIC student card (if applicable – for a discount on entree fee to Machu Picchu).
The journey by bus to km 82 (the starting point for the Inca Trail) takes approximately 3 hours. Once we get there and are all ready to go, this first day will have us walking mostly through the valley. It starts at 2380m with a small climb to a plateau overlooking the Incan site of Llactapata and rewards you with superb views of Mount Veronica. Walking times are always approximate depending on weather conditions, group ability and other factors, but generally you will walk about 2-3 hours before lunch. Then after lunch we walk on just past the village of Wayllabamba to reach our first campsite at 3000m.
Approx 14km, 6 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 02. - Day 2 is the most difficult day as you Inca Trail walk from about 3000m to 4200m — the highest pass of the trek (known as Dead Woman’s Pass – but don’t be discouraged!). You can walk at your own pace and stop to get your breath whenever you like. You’ll find your energy returns once you continue down to the valley of Pacaymayo, where we camp at 3600m.
You can hire a porter from the village of Wayllabamba to carry your pack to the top of this pass for approximately 70 soles. If you wish to do so you must organize and pay this money directly to the person who carries your items, and please check your belongings upon receiving them at the end of this service as these people are not Sap Adventures staff.
This is the coldest night at Inca Trail; between +2/+4 degrees Celsius (in December) and -3/-5 degrees Celsius (in June). Approx 12km, 7 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 03.- Day 3 is exceptionally beautiful because of the ruins you will witness and the incredible stone Inca Trail you walk one, and also because there is a lot more downhill than uphill! However, there are about 2000 stairs descending from the ruins of Phuyupatamarca to those of Wiñaywayna, so take care with your knees. If you have had knee or ankle injuries an extra porter is recommended so that you are not carrying extra weight and overstressing your joints. There is a guided tour of all the ruins on the way. Camping is usually at Wiñaywayna 2700 mtrs.
Take extra care of your personal belongings at this campsite as all the tours campsites are nearby. As usual, always keep your daypack containing your valuables with you. The only hot shower on the Inca Trail is on this third night at Wiñaywayna. There is a hostel near the campsite with an 8min hot shower for 5 soles, and a bar and restaurant where you can purchase bottled water.
Approx 16km, 6 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.
DAY 04.- We get up extremely early to arrive at the magical Intipunku "The Gate of the Sun" as the first rays begin illuminating the lost city of Machu Picchu down bellow. A further 20 min walk down from here takes us to the famous view from the terraces at the end of the trail. It is a good time to take pictures before the 10:30 crowds arrive. Your tour of Machu Picchu should last about 2 hours and finish between 10:30 and 11:00am. Then you have free time to climb Huayna Picchu if you wish (This is the famous peak in the background of most images of Machu Picchu. The trek is about 90 minutes). A maximum of 400 hikers can climb this mountain per day so if you are determined then start immediately after your tour! Or, of course, you may simply just collapse under a tree and quietly reflect in amazement at the mystery, the architectural achievement and beauty of Machu Picchu.
From Machu Picchu, it is a pleasant walk through sub-tropical jungle down to Aguas Calientes (about 45 mins), but if you are weary you may also take a bus – the $7 bus ticket is included and your guide will give you the ticket.
Once in Aguas Calientes you can have a hot shower, and then store your backpack while you go to have lunch, visit the hot springs or shop around the village.
If you are not extending your stay for one night in Aguas Calientes*, you will leave around 6pm to return to Cusco by train or by a combination of train & bus. Please note that during the high season there are a number of different departure times for the trains that run only to Ollantaytambo, from where buses run onwards till Cusco. The type of return journey depends simply on availability. You will arrive back in Cusco around 9 - 9.30pm.
Approx 7km, 2 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.

Remark: This English vernacular brick cottage was built on the foundation of the former Cheney Homestead The Maples circa 1932. Edwin Way Teale inherited the property in the center of Furnessville facing the old Michigan Central tracks in 1926. At that time, the two-story Maples residence stood on the property. Edwin’s maternal grandparents had purchased The Maples a month after the burning of their antebellum Lone Oak Farm in February 1916. The house had to be moved with the coming of the Dunes Relief Highway (US Highway 20). The house was moved back out of the path of the highway onto a new foundation and all but one of the maple trees that gave the hilltop residence its name were felled. The house is thought to have burned in 1932. Although Edwin and Nellie Teale had lived in the house for a short time, they had moved to Long Island by 1928. Richard and Vera Lewry lived in the house for the next decade, and transferred title to Aura and Marvin Draper who took up residence here circa 1944. Mrs. Mary Cheney (1829-1917) was Edwin’s paternal great aunt. A widow since 1901, Mary Cheney sold her home to her sister and brother-in-law Jemima and Edwin Way and stayed in residence until her death the following year. William and Mary Cheney are interred in Furnessville Cemetery.

Summer Home of J. D. Price on Long Lake

Remark: This summer home along Long Lake was constructed in 1911 and was razed by a fire on March 10, 1912. Today, the location of this house would be 575 Grand View. Jonathan and Anna Price built this home on a ridge bordered by three lakes and, appropriately, named the area Hill Crest Park. Jonathan would pass away at this home in 1926.
The Price family were influential in bringing the Valparaiso & Northern Railway's interurban line through the chain of lakes located north of Valparaiso.
--------
The following news item concerning J. D. Price's cottage on Long Lake appeared in the February 2, 1911, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Hotel on Long Lake.
It has been inevitable from the first that a short time after the building of the Valparaiso & Northern to connect the Air Line with the lake district north of Valparaiso, Indiana, Long Lake would become a great summer resort, exceptionally popular with "weekenders" from Chicago. Until the railway commenced building, this pretty little lake was entirely undeveloped, for the very good reason that it was not easily accessible. It was away from the traveled highway and practically unknown except to neighboring farmers and a few enthusiastic fisherman.
The honor of building the first cottage on the lake belongs to Mr. J. D. Price, president of the Co-Operative Construction Company, who was one of the first to see the beauty and transportation possibilities of the vicinity. The directors of the Air Line will not soon forget the evening which they spent in this hospitable summer home last fall.
Now a summer hotel is about to be constructed there; in fact, the lumber is already on the ground and the owners have cut and stored enough ice to take them through the season. The hotel will have forty rooms and it will stand across the lake from the railroad on a very picturesque bluff. The railroad will have a passenger station at the end of a highway, which leads down to the water, opposite the hotel, and the hotel guests will be carried back and forth in a ferry boat.
The new hotel will be completed in time for the summer business, which will begin soon after the railroad is ready to handle it. With four established summer resorts and a great number of summer cottages on the Valparaiso line, the management is looking forward to a very busy season.

The following news item concerning J. D. Price's cottage on Long Lake appeared in the June 22, 1911, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB ENTERTAINS
Hill-Crest Cottage at Long Lake, the Scene of a Pleasant Gathering.
The members of the Friday Night club entertained the ladies and families of the club members at Long Lake last Wednesday, and through the courtesy of Mr. J. D. Price owner of Hill-Crest cottage one of the most enjoyable outing ever held by the club was spent. The facilities offered by Mr. Price's beautiful cottage were ideal for an outing of this kind and included the cottage, with its wide veranda, piano, and the famous phonograph and set of records of Mr. Charles Michaels, formerly of Laporte. This set of records is one of the best private collections in the country and contains a number of records that are of great value. The entire entertainment was prepared by the men folks, even including the dinner which included fried spring chicken, and was prepared under the direction of an experienced chef, and was served by the gentlemen. Seventy-five were served at one time on the wide porches of the cottage. After dinner two ball games were played, one from nines selected from among the ladies and one between the fats and leans of the club members, but we refrain from telling the scores made in either game.
The club feels under deep obligation to Mr. Price for his kindness and courtesy in tendering the use of his beautiful place for the day, and are indebted to him for the very enjoyable day spent.

The following news item concerning J. D. Price's cottage on Long Lake appeared in the March 14, 1912, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
PRICE COTTAGE BURNS.
Beautiful Summer Home at Long Lake Is Destroyed Sunday Night.
The beautiful summer home of J. D. Price at Hill Crest, north of Valparaiso, was destroyed by fire Sunday night with all of its contents. The cottage was built at the south end of Long lake by Mr. Price, two years ago, and the estimated cost was $4,000. The house was unoccupied, but it contained much good furniture. The family is at present living at Oak Park, Ill. The fire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin.
A little after midnight people who live in that part of the country, who happened to be awake, noticed the reflection of the blaze on the sky, and this morning some of them went out to discover the location of the fire and were astonished to find the Price cottage a heap of ashes.
The home was high on a hill overlooking the lake and was away from the public highway, but was approached by the interurban. The owner of the property was notified of the fire by telephone. The place is supposed to have been insured, but the extent of the insurance cannot yet be ascertained.

The aircraft was being ferried from Croydon to Iceland via Liverpool and Prestwick. The crew became disorientated in cloud and flew into high ground. The aircraft was built as an Oxford Mk.I HN471 for the RAF, but it did not see any active service. It was sold back to Airspeed in March 1946 and was registered at G-AHJY and was owned by a number of companies before being sold to Icelandic Airline in January 1951. During the same day as TF-RPM crashed the RAF lost two Meteors in the Peak District.

Remark: Company 229, Camp Willow Creek F-188 of the United States Civilian Conservation Corps was located southwest of Emida, Benewah County, Idaho, on Willow Creek at the base of Harvard Mountain.
Camp Willow Creek F-188 was responsible for several major projects that exist today. Most notably, it was responsible for creating the North-South Ski Bowl and ski shelter and the development of Laird Park into a recreational area. The camp also erected telephone lines and constructed roads, trails, fish ponds, and fire towers. Burned over lands were planted in trees by members of the camp, and blister rust control was a major camp task.
Officers that commanded Company 229 included Captain McGuire, Lieutenant Miller, Lieutenant Jones, Lieutenant A. A. Frambach, and Lieutenant Alden C. Russell, Jr.

The Inca Trail is a magnificent, well preserved Inca Trail route which connects Machu Picchu with what once were other regions of the Inca Empire, and today it is one of the world’s most popular treks. This four-day walk goes from the highlands of 4,200mts and down through the cloud forests to finally arrive at Machu Picchu - 2,380mts.
DAY 01. - Between 06:00 and 06:30 we pick you up at your hotel in our private bus. Ensure you have your original passport and ISIC student card (if applicable – for a discount on entree fee to Machu Picchu).
The journey by bus to km 82 (the starting point for the Inca Trail) takes approximately 3 hours. Once we get there and are all ready to go, this first day will have us walking mostly through the valley. It starts at 2380m with a small climb to a plateau overlooking the Incan site of Llactapata and rewards you with superb views of Mount Veronica. Walking times are always approximate depending on weather conditions, group ability and other factors, but generally you will walk about 2-3 hours before lunch. Then after lunch we walk on just past the village of Wayllabamba to reach our first campsite at 3000m.
Approx 14km, 6 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 02. - Day 2 is the most difficult day as you Inca Trail walk from about 3000m to 4200m — the highest pass of the trek (known as Dead Woman’s Pass – but don’t be discouraged!). You can walk at your own pace and stop to get your breath whenever you like. You’ll find your energy returns once you continue down to the valley of Pacaymayo, where we camp at 3600m.
You can hire a porter from the village of Wayllabamba to carry your pack to the top of this pass for approximately 70 soles. If you wish to do so you must organize and pay this money directly to the person who carries your items, and please check your belongings upon receiving them at the end of this service as these people are not Sap Adventures staff.
This is the coldest night at Inca Trail; between +2/+4 degrees Celsius (in December) and -3/-5 degrees Celsius (in June). Approx 12km, 7 hours walking this day at Inca Trail.
DAY 03.- Day 3 is exceptionally beautiful because of the ruins you will witness and the incredible stone Inca Trail you walk one, and also because there is a lot more downhill than uphill! However, there are about 2000 stairs descending from the ruins of Phuyupatamarca to those of Wiñaywayna, so take care with your knees. If you have had knee or ankle injuries an extra porter is recommended so that you are not carrying extra weight and overstressing your joints. There is a guided tour of all the ruins on the way. Camping is usually at Wiñaywayna 2700 mtrs.
Take extra care of your personal belongings at this campsite as all the tours campsites are nearby. As usual, always keep your daypack containing your valuables with you. The only hot shower on the Inca Trail is on this third night at Wiñaywayna. There is a hostel near the campsite with an 8min hot shower for 5 soles, and a bar and restaurant where you can purchase bottled water.
Approx 16km, 6 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.
DAY 04.- We get up extremely early to arrive at the magical Intipunku "The Gate of the Sun" as the first rays begin illuminating the lost city of Machu Picchu down bellow. A further 20 min walk down from here takes us to the famous view from the terraces at the end of the trail. It is a good time to take pictures before the 10:30 crowds arrive. Your tour of Machu Picchu should last about 2 hours and finish between 10:30 and 11:00am. Then you have free time to climb Huayna Picchu if you wish (This is the famous peak in the background of most images of Machu Picchu. The trek is about 90 minutes). A maximum of 400 hikers can climb this mountain per day so if you are determined then start immediately after your tour! Or, of course, you may simply just collapse under a tree and quietly reflect in amazement at the mystery, the architectural achievement and beauty of Machu Picchu.
From Machu Picchu, it is a pleasant walk through sub-tropical jungle down to Aguas Calientes (about 45 mins), but if you are weary you may also take a bus – the $7 bus ticket is included and your guide will give you the ticket.
Once in Aguas Calientes you can have a hot shower, and then store your backpack while you go to have lunch, visit the hot springs or shop around the village.
If you are not extending your stay for one night in Aguas Calientes*, you will leave around 6pm to return to Cusco by train or by a combination of train & bus. Please note that during the high season there are a number of different departure times for the trains that run only to Ollantaytambo, from where buses run onwards till Cusco. The type of return journey depends simply on availability. You will arrive back in Cusco around 9 - 9.30pm.
Approx 7km, 2 hours walking this day on Inca Trail.

Remark: A man by the name of Kirk and the Henderlong brothers began manufacturing molding and millwork at the corner of Weston Street and West Chicago Street during the 1870s. The Henderlong interests were purchased by Kirk in 1896, and Charles Foster, Senior, was hired as an architect at the company. The company was renamed as Kirk & Foster Builders in 1897. Upon Kirk's death, the company was reorganized under the name of Foster Lumber & Coal Company, with Charles Foster serving as president, Jerry Foster as vice-president, and Harry E. Smith as secretary-treasurer. The company ceased operations in 1983. The Porter County court house was rebuilt after the 1934 fire by the Foster Lumber & Coal Company.
The structure shown in this image was situated on a triangular parcel of land bounded by three streets; namely, Calumet Avenue to the west, North Morgan Boulevard on the east, and Elm Street on the south. Calumet Avenue is the roadbed shown in the foreground of this image and Elm Street is to the far right. The structure no longer exists.

Remark: A hunt club, constructed in 1879 by hunters from the Indiana communities of Rockville, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis, was situated northwest of Baum’s Bridge along the north shoreline of the original channel of the Kankakee River. The area where the club was located was once commonly known as Prairie Bend in reference to a significant bend in the original channel of the Kankakee River. Benjamin Harrison would frequent this club prior to becoming president of the United States. Adjacent to this club was the White House Hunting Club to the northwest and the Louisville Hunt Club to the southeast. The club would later be renamed Donley’s Resort and the clubhouse was converted into a hotel. Provide more description.

The following news item appears in the September 7, 1911, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
FIRE AT BAUM'S BRIDGE.
Incendiary Blaze at Kankakee River Destroys Barn.
An incendiary fire at 8 o'clock Sunday night destroyed the big barn at James Donnely's summer resort on the Kankakee river near Baum's bridge, together with the following property:
2 horses, harness, grain and other stuff belonging to Donnelly, who estimates his loss at $800, with insurance of $300.
$200 horse owned by Chris Bornholt.
2 horses owned by Boelke Bros. of Wanatah.
1 $200 horse owned by James Vannatta.
The fire was discovered when Vanatta's mare kicked through a door and stumbled into the yard so badly burned she had to be killed. The fire burned fiercely, and would have spread to other building but for the gallant work done by the resorters. The horses could not be reached by the fire fighters.
It is claimed that evidence of a fire bug's presence has been discovered and that a party is suspected of having perpetrated the deed and is being kept under surveillance.

The following newspaper item concerning James Donley was published in the April 6, 1916, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Donley Gets Saloon License as Lessee.
Although he recently sold his property at Baum's bridge to a man named Jackson, James Donley, saloonkeeper, was granted a renewal of his license there yesterday as the lessee. G. L. Omsted appeared early in the day with a written communication in protect [sic?] to the granting of the license, but this received no attention because of the fact that it was not sworn to. Other saloonkeepers granted renewals were Chas. Nuppnau, T. H. Claussen and Bernard Koselke.

Written by my sister:
In late 2022, I decided to start photographing my Molly collection in segments for our "Collections and Lines" album. This meant breaking my collection up into old catalog spreads (when applicable) and making decisions like backdrops and whether to stick to old school or to throw Emily into scenes like Christmas and Camp Gowonagin. (I didn't have to debate whether or not she was going into the birthday spread--that was an obvious choice!) I knew right away pretty much what this would look like. So, I'm not sure why, it took two years to get to this photo! I think I just kept overlooking it on my to do list.
I got most of Molly's bedroom items in 2004. I got the trunk for Christmas because Dad bought Shelly Kit after he'd already ordered her Samantha, so the trunk was sort of my second doll. I got Molly's bed sometime in 2003 or 2004 as well. For some reason, I actually have two sets of the Nighttime Necessities! I can't remember why--I think Dad may have forgotten I already had a set and bought me another when he bought some of Molly's other things.
I kept up with Molly's world until 2005, when we took a hiatus from dolls. In 2006, when Emily joined Molly's collection, they added to Molly's bedroom spread. She gained an awesome chiffarobe and vanity! Sadly, these items were available in a time (a brief time) when I wasn't collecting dolls and I missed out on them). Her Nighttime Necessities were also upgraded to include a super sweet clock! Sadly, I don't have the clock either. However, I do have Emily and her pajamas, which are the best items from the 2006 era bedroom collection! Emily's robe is my favorite color!
Because tucking Molly into bed was such an important ritual for me during my teen years (whether it was with me in my bed or tucking her into her own), that I really value Molly's bedroom collection. Even though I didn't acquire her factory pajamas and other bedroom accoutrements until my late teens, having them is still so special to me! I still use Molly's bed as part of my doll display in my bedroom to this day. And Molly's pajamas are some of the most iconic items in her collection! They are featured in so many original illustrations! This collection is definitely a favorite of mine! I took the artistic liberty of adding Bennett and Yank to the photo to recreate the morning of Molly's tenth birthday, when the girls received puppies first thing in the morning!

The following newspaper item appeared in the March 30, 1916, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Local, Personal, Social
The U. S. government has purchased a site at the corner of Main and Napoleon streets in Valparaiso for a new postoffice building. There has been quite a struggle on about the location of the building, and it seems the west enders were able to put up the strongest argument and landed the plum.

The following newspaper item appeared in the November 8, 1917, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
CHESTERTON LOCALS.
The contract for the construction of Valparaiso's new postoffice building was awarded last Saturday. Eight bidders filed bids, and the lowest bid was found to have been made by J. H. Weise, of Omaha, Neb. Acting supervising architect James A. Wetmore stated that the actual awarding of the contract would be made in the very near future, at which time the time will be fixed for commencing the work and completing it ready for occupancy. The new building is to be one story and basement, with mezzaine [sic] of brick with stone trimmings, slate and composition roof, and have a frontage of 94 feet on Main street, with a depth of 67 feet. The postoffice workroom will have a total of 3,300 square feet of working space. A room of about 400 square feet will be provided for the money order department.

The following newspaper item appeared in the November 15, 1917, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
CHESTERTON LOCALS.
The contract for the construction of Valparaiso's new post office building was awarded Monday to the Clark Construction Co. of Danville, Ills., at $70,111.10. At first it was thought that J. H. Weise, of Omaha, had won the contract, his bid being $70,785.00.

Continuing in the vein of 'less mosaic historical narrative' and attempting to portray the area in single images which show some of the historical changes and with reference to past context where applicable. Six traction movements brought classic traction, an ECS move, coal empties and a hark back to the scene as it looked in in the 70s c/o John Law. So, keeping the verbals to a minimum but not quite avoiding the 'single picture format', this 1st shot shows the scene on the Midland line at Woodhouse Mill where once there was a station, the derelict remains of the brickwork being visible to the right of the approaching, brightly turned out GBRf locomotive. PAssing south just after arrival of the camera meant rapid action as there were several aspects of a shot to be considered as class 66, 66759 whizzed past with no time to spare on the 6X73, Doncaster Up Decoy to Toton North Yard working; and almost daily run south from Doncaster. To the right, climbing the bank onto the busy road a walker and now, what must be a convenient haunt for the dog-poo brigade, the old rail siding into the works on the east side of the main line, now a walking track to Treeton. on the left, another sort of poo is processed at the Woodhouse Mill sewage works, recently refurbished and all re-fenced and in the background, the huge tract of land that was once Orgreave Coke and Coking works... now the Waverley NAture Reserve with, at the north edge room for 4,000 houses, 12,000 more dogs and 8,000 cars. The train's consist provides a pleasant contrast in the scene, almost one could say a moving set of solar panel supports, heading south, but .. facing the wrong direction!

Remark: The Louisville Club was located adjacent to and northeast of Baum’s Bridge along the north shoreline of the original channel of the Kankakee River. The club was using a shanty on their property as early as 1876. A permanent clubhouse was constructed on the property during the fall of 1878, which was situated between the Collier’s Lodge to the southeast and the Rockville, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis Hunt Club to the northwest. Collectively, these three hunting clubs were sited at a place once commonly known as Prairie Bend, named in reference to a significant bend in the original channel of the Kankakee River. The club was also referred to as the Louisville Gun Club and the Louisville Hunting Club. William Warriner Thompson of Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, served as the first president of the club and Hebron residents Harrison Parker “Dock” Rice and Aaron F. Ferman served as the club’s guides and club house managers. Thompson served as treasurer or the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.
