Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1890-06-13

1t would lie useless for me, a poo
hand at descriptive writing, 10 at
tempt TO portray the grandeur anC
the sublime splendOr OF the scenery
along this road, from Castle Dale {,
Pueblo. In fact, no one, though h,
read the most able description Of it,
can gain an adequate idea Of il,
magnifcenCe, except he see il fol
himself. / will merely say, there
fore, that we passed through the
Black Canyon, traversed the tor
tuUus pathway Of the Marshal Pass,
and endured a little stretching OF
the neck in trying 10 observe all the
wonders Of the Grand Canyon and
the Royal Gorge. The heart OF every
admirer Of nature must certainly
rejoice when lie behOlds these mar
vels Of creation; and all right
thinking people must recognize in
them the hanGiwOrk Of the Great
Creator.
The train reached Pueblo Sunday
evening. There we took the Atchi-
son, TOpeka& Santa Fe Railroad FOR
Chicago. This company very Kindly
furnished us special chair car right
through 10 Chicago, and the men,
bers Of the party were able to be to-
gether more than they had been on
the Il. G w. Not only this, but
one Of the cOmpauy's agents accom-
panied us. to see that we got along
without any difficulty, and he roh-
deTed US very valuable assistance.
This was courtesy which all ap-
preciated.
Leaving Pueblo Late on Sunday
evening, We passed through the
States OF Colorado and Kansas. The
country along this part Of the route
is mostly farming land, apparently
Of fertile character. IL = as quite
a contrast, though not an unpleasant
one, to the rugged and mountainous
region we had just left. Passing
through Kansas IL was very warm
and sultry, and the travellers from
salt Lake and vicinity felt rather
uncomfortable. the atmosphere be-
ing more humid than in Utah.
On arriving at Kansas City we
were reinforced by that portion Of
the excursion which had come via
the Union Pacific. They arrived |
two hours before we did. With the |
increase OF our numbers, the A. r.
x ;. +. Co. lid not slacken their al |
tenti0n 10 us on the journey from
Kansas City t. Chicago. An addi. |
uun2l chair car was put on, and The |
whole Of the party were accommO-
dated. This road runs solid yesti-
bule trains heated by steam and |
lighted 10y electricity.
We reached Chicago Tuesday af- |
ternOOn. Here We were met by the
Of the Chicago d Atlantic
and the New York, Lake Erie &
NcsteTE-twO good roads TO travel /
on, as we fOEnd. They did all in |
their power TO see that the remain
der Of the journey should be pleasant
and agreeable. All the party desir-
cd to visit Niagara Falls, and ar
engagements were made that this de-
sire might he grslinel. We IT,
manned In Chicago several hours,
visiting some uf the points Of inter
ct in that wonderful place. Chi
e 90 l. a great city. Its growth
since the memorable fire has been
marvellous. The citizens are very
proud Of their city, and not without
reason.
We Travelled in good style all the
way from Chicago 10 New York.
We secured a ear that suited US
letter than anything we so far had.
We visited Niagara FalIs.and stayed
there three-fOurths af day, spend
ing nearly TIE wh7lp or the Title I'm
visiting all the points Of interest
9rOund that remarkable and beauti-
ful place. All felt that the time
,peBt at the Falls was the bast
thing they had had on the trip. The
weather was fine and quite warm,
though the night previous II had
r1ine1 very heavily. But the
thinking water there is abOminable.
1t Is hari 70 find anywhere such
water rs can be had in Salt Lake.
The train left the Falls shortly
after ! Oi.-Sk Thursday afternoon,
