crowded church on a hot summer night
the incessant waving of fans by mem

If any one wants a cool summer job
let him seek employment on the Cen tral
Pacific road in the Sierras, where, in
the midst of this hot season, some of
the side tracks are covered with snow,
and where the rotary snow plow is still
clearing off hard packed drifts. When
this is all done, and later in the season,
if it is still desirable to keep cool, one
may seek delights in the gulches along
the road where recent reports place the
snow at fifty to sixty feet deep.
