Eyes" said Mr.. Heber List, sit was a
most enhancing trip, and for one Of
such flying nature delightfully."- filed
IN. We were gone about eleven or
twelve days. After brief stays In Gin
ciDnati and ST. Louis, we struck
Kansas City on Sunday morning, the
14th inst, where we attended DR.. Mil
ler'S Methodist Church, after which we
viewed the objects Of interest In the city.
We reached Denver at 1880 q. m. on
the 10th and found the thermometer at
AZ degrees Left Denver the next day
for a trip 10 Salt Lake City, and on the
way stopped of az Palmer Lake, where
we stood on the ice and had our pictures
taken by a tourist. We passed the
Grand Canyon OF the Arkansaw at .
o'clock ia the afternoon. Indeed, il
was sublime scenery, with rocks rising
2,6OG feet into the air, added TO which
was the snow-capped Pixies Peak in the
distance. We saw several villages OF
prairie dogs Salt Lake City presents
the appearance Of an oyergrOwn town.
The streets are wide but unpaved, and
the atmosphere damp and hazy, much
like our own.
AT o o'clock on the evening OF the
10Th We arrived at Marshall Pass, one
OF the grandeSt pieces OF scenery We en-
countered on our trip. Ii was 10 miles
from the foot 70 the top Of the noun
tain by the devious path, and the rise
IS some 5000 feet, making rise OF 3l3
feet TO the mile. The are 10 SRow sheds
en- route. On the way home we passed
through the whole length Of the State
OF Nebraska, and had an excellent OPP
pOrtunity TO view from the car win
1ows the great agricultural areas. At
Lincoln, Neb., We had stop Of 30
minutes, just time enough 10 run up
into town aud take a hurried glance
around. At Omaha we fingered 20
minutes, but the station was too far re-
moved from the compact part Of the
city 20 avail OF sightseeing. We were
in Chicago on Monday, and had con-
siderable time 10 look around. Alto
gether It was a delightful trip"
