INCIDENTS OF TIRE TRIP.
About 8 o'clock in the morning we started,
and soon struck the everlasting alkali atts, a
lew miles from town. The day being very
warm, the dust rose and hung IL great
clouds about US. keeping with and ahead Of
us, so that it was i'm possible to see the road.
InvOluntarily I thought of you, Mr.. Editor.
and would have bsen glad had YOU been IL
my place. Nearing the Walla Wall4 River
the road became Il little more solid. Here We
had an opportunity TO look about u. TO ad-
mire the scenery. We followed Mr.. Burr
telegraph poles, which are laying along the
road a. a safe guide. Near AIr. Tom McCoy's
ranch, We discovered great American bald
eagle, sitting leisureIy on fence rail. It
Was indeed the king Of The birds. and Que Of
enormous size. Ny first impulse wac to
shoot, stuff and present it to You, as a proof
oi my skill, but unfortunately We had no
gun with us, and thus WAS spared the life Of
ii noble bird. We passed the Walla Walia
crossing, looked nt Milton. wound our way
along the Thomas road, ard by many cut-oti-,
which took us from, instead of 10 Weston,
reached Dry Creek canyon. In trying to
avoid the dust OF the main travelled road, We
followed side roads with not sign Of travel
on them, but one buggy track, which We took
for Jim Thompson and Lrcy's for no others
would be crazy enough to attempt TO mislead
respectable people. We followed il, and after
travelling along on this pleasant piece Of
road, with not BIT of dust on It, we con
gra ulated ourselves upcn our good fortune,
and wondered why othurs who had gone be-
fore us had not the sagacity 10 travel l., eX-
cep,inS Jim Thompson and Lacy, tn" idiots.
Bur what WAS our astoni>hment when We
reached the bottom Of a great big mountain
The country being rolling prairie-we found
n ditch fuur feet dcep and -iv feet wide, con
fronting us \ cpIi-ul rarIou follow 81. and
after looking up th- mountain We had came
down, and the mountain we had 30 20 up,
Ne concluded 10 lit our carriage across and
walk, like the king Of France, up the hill
Tn. lifting h-In.S accomplished, W started mp
hIll with nothing t" cheer the inner Ga an,
and II being atout noon, aud very hot /
again wished fur You 10 be il my Place
However, after passing Dry Creek and School
house canyon NE made
rHE TOWN or WESTON,
At little after T. clock, u We put up
al the hotel, Il very respectable establishment; (;
Washed thu dus, off and ordered dinner i'm
mediarely While dinner was getting r,ldy',
we encuuragcd ,hr inner man and Examined
the thriving vi!lagr. The burnt district Is
nearly ali r,buir, and much better houses
put in their places The Episcopal church
IL also nearly completed p ing built halt
way up the mountain on fh- ~"u'hwrS'. Il
makes a grand and imposing APPEARANCE.
