Grand COULEE DAM

WASHINGTON

pub: C.P. JOHNSON CO

One of the mos spectacular sights in North America is to be seen at Grand Coulee Dam, where the overflow from the now-full Columbia River reservoir, impounded by the 10 1/2 million cubic yard concrete structure, plungers over the giant spillway.  Nearly 2,000,000 gallons of water fall over the man-made precipice with a tremendous roar every second.  Power is being developed in a large power-house flanking the cataract, in which three 108,000 kilo-watt hydro-electric generators, largest ever constructed have been assembled.

* Sunday Stamps *

My choice for Sunday Stamps this week is 

The First Day Cover from the 

1962 Seattle, Washington World's Fair.  

It features the Space Needle on the commemorative stamp.

I actually had the nerve to go all the way to the top 

on my visit to Seattle.  

It was exciting to say the least.

Visit Wikipedia and check out their article.

INDIANA TERRITORY

FIRST CAPITOL OF INDIANA TERRITORY 

AND DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA, VINCENNES, IND.

THOUSANDS EVERY YEAR VISIT THIS BUILDING WHERE THE FIRST INDIANA LAWS WERE ENACTED.

First Capitol of Indiana Territory   This building was occupied by the Territorial Government and was situated on the south side off Main Street,  midway between Second and Third Street.  About 100 years ago it was moved to Third Street near Harrison Park and used as a residence.  In 1919 the Fortnightly Club of Vincennes, through public donation, perchased the building and moved it to its present site in Harrison Park where it now stands restored in its original condition.  The upper floor was the meeting place of the legislative body and the lower was occupied by the governor and the secretary of the Territory.

HISTORIC OLD CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL, 

LIBRARY AND RECTORY, VINCENNES, IND.

THE LIBRARY CONTAINS SOME OF THE 

OLDEST BOOKS AND RELICS IN THE COUNTRY.

St. Francis Xavier Church was founded in 1702.  The present stately old Cathedral is the third church on this site and was projected in 1825, the corner stone being laid with elaborate ceremony in 1826.  Its two predecessors for worship were built of logs, the first of which Indian converts assisted in erecting.  Thirty nine pastors have served this church during these many years.  Seven of these have attained high positions in the church, six as bishops and one as archbishop.  The four first bishops of the diocese of Vincennes are buried in the crypt of the present church.  The diocese is now known as "Indianapolis."  The library contains some of the oldest books and rarest manuscripts in this section of the country.

LAND OF COTTON

BALES OF COTTON READY FOR SHIPMENT
now that's a lot of cotton balls.

  Driving home from college years ago on a back road there was an old antebellum home surrounded by cotton fields.  It was a step back in time.  I will never forget the place.
