THE ROYAL PROGRESS
Of the President Through Wonder

CAMP OF DlNWIDDIE LAKE via SALT
LAKE, Utah, Aug. 11.-At o'clock
the presidential party arose and feast
ed on a splendid breakfast of trout
and many kinds of game procured by
the Indians. Promptly one hour
later the line of march was taken up
from the exquisite camp on Buffalo
lake. This is beautiful little body
of mountain water about four miles
long and one-half mile wide. sur
rounded by lofty lines and abound
ing in fish. Around the lake and
approaches are gigantic rocks, made
up of the pebbles which were some
time brought down from the peaks
above by the snow and ice. For two
days now the party has followed the
Jarassic formation, which is most con-
sp1cuous at Buffalo lake on the east
flank of the mountain. It's bright, red
cOlors, with fantastic stains Of yellow,
give special characteristic to the
country. It looks like an immense
band of redrunning through the rocks.
Here and there the wind and rain
have carved out a resemblance to
some old castle. The president was
filled with the majesty of the scene.
The picture as he angled for trout was
combination of green wood and of
mountains black with pine above, of
snowy-capped peaks, of charming
little grass-covered valleys. of bright
red cliffs, covered with all
conceivable artistic shapes, of white
cliffs jutting out at intervals, of lit
tie camp of white tents the whole re

the most exquisite scene of the whole
trip-a scene which, if placed on can
vas by our best artists, would seem too
vivid to be real

day repeating itself until Camp Din

directed principally as to whether the
Indians would accept of a tenure in

urged them ia take their lands of 100
acres to each head of a family and
eighty acres to unmarried Indians.
They have $500, 600 acres in this res

and under tenure in severalty $3.50,
