THE SUMMERS OUTING.
A Traveller Tell. About tho Beauties .

Traveller Tells About the Beauties OF
Trip to the Coast.
During these long evenings OF 1all
and winter, many plan Will be lald
for the bright warm days OF summer,
coming bye and bye, when Nature
again assumes her lighter garments
and decks herself in green OF field ana
fame of flower, appropriate dressing
for her milder mood.
Plans made in advance are most apt
to be realized and be as fruitful OF re-
suits as expectancy painted them. II
l were to place before the readers OF
this paper an ideal outing for the sum-
mer, | would direct their attention TO
the scenic division of the country,
where the eye may be pleased, the
mind broadened by contract with Ma
ture, and where health giving winds
blow away the miasmi from dulllng
minds as we'll as aching bones. A tour
OF the West is one Of the most cher
ished hopes of the rich traveller and
equally is the more humble, but provl-
dent clerk, or artisan entitled to en-
10y the awakening Of the senses
caused by revelations Of countries new
to him. "The Overland Route COM
prises the scenic and historic plains
and mountains lying between the Mis-
sissippi River and Western Slope.
Great minds have dwelt upon the ro-
mances of the old trails and wrought
into story and song the incidents OF
travel, dangerous and, in the early
days, not free from intense suffering.
Greater minds have spanned the track
less waste with rails of steel and
placed upon them putting leviathams
from the shops, and attached to these
magnificent palace cars and all
the appurtenances of comfort while
travelling. The Overland Route" Is
the name adopted by the Union Pacific
sytem which crosses the now fertile,
once arid plains of Kansas and Colo
RADIO, invades the narrowing canons,
deep and forbidding, but wonderfully
attractive, as danger ever Is, passes I'M
der frowning cliffs and around gigan-
tic promotories, bald and reaching to-
ward the skies, not unlike sentinels,
which protect the secret OF the mine
until mems necessities make the I'M
covering useful for the people. There
Is no grander scenery than that which
the Union Pacific traverses between
Denver and the surrounding points,
and in its Westward course, through
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington. The Colorado parks are them
selves a revelation to the uninitiated
and Salt Lake and its environs afford
study and entertainment and pleasure
for bright minds. "The Coast" are
words which have an indefinite mean
ing to tho3e who have never visited
the Weston outpost of our prosperity
and advancing civilization, but II
should be seen and known, and now,
while there is time to study about the
country, is the time to lay your plans.
No more enjoyable outing can be. than
that found in all the standard guide
books describing the Union Pacific trip

was foreshadowed today when the net
earnings for September were made
