Night having overtaken US and dark
ness enveloping the landscape but
little of the country could be seen from
here on until next morning. Soon
after passing Tuscaloosa we sought our
berth and were soon oblivious to all
surroundings. Some time in the night
we crossed over into Mississippi and at
Meridian our sleeper was attached to a
train on the New Orleans & North
Eastern Railroad Queen & Crescent
Route.)
Next morning we were ''up and
about" early to get view Of the coun-
try. On down through this part Of the
State the towns are few aud far be-

try suddenly changes. The land is
level, the timber growth being princi-
pally pne. Again we are reminded Of

At New Orleans a transfer was made
to the Southern Pacific Railroad depot,
not quite half a mile distant, where we
boarded the company's big ferry boat
and crossed to the other side Of the
river. The narrOwness of the river at
this point was a surprise to us. We
had an idea that it was much wider
than it is. But what it lacks in breadth
is more than made up in depth the
| channel being $50 feet.
Boarding the handsome and we'll
equipped train of the Southern Pacific
Railroad we were soon speeding on our
journey up the South side of the river
through the famous Louisiana sugar
plantations. The soil looked TO be very
fertile and it was easy to believe that
it produced abundantly. For several
miles as one settlement after another
was passed in quick succession it had
much the appearance of one continuous
village. On each plan tation were large
establishments for producing sugar or
molasses, with immense smoke stacks
towering high above the buildings, but
no signs of activity at this season Of the
year. Surrounding these were inntitner.

ing implements, &c, all painted white,
each plantation representing an invest

machinery Of the sugar plants alone
costing from $50, 900 to sl5O,0OO. ,.:
The country on through Louisiana is
flat, in some sections swampy, and
nothing of special interest is noted!
We cross an invisible line and are. in
the Lone Star State, vast empire in
itself. Several good sized towns lie
along the route but of these time and
space forbid any mention. The coun-
try becomes more prairie like and the
character Of the soil is different.
At 1870 o'clock at night we arrived
in Houston, 362 miles from New Or
leans, but little fatgued so comfortable
is travelling made over the Southern
Pacific. Here we had to stay until, G
O'Clock next morning when the first
