tours through the mountains, one OF
which in particular is the famous 1000
mile tour, passing the following points
of interest: La Veta, Poncha Pass,
Toltec Gorge, Durango-Dolores Canon,
Rico, Lizard Head Pass or Las Ami
| mas Canon, SilVerton, Ouray-Cimar-
ron Canon, Black Canon, Marshall Pass
and the Royal Gorge. This trip can be
comfortably made in four days, but at
| least ten days ought to be devoted to
it so as one may leisurely inspect the
principal sights and occasionally gain
rest from fatigue incident to railroad
| travel.
ANOTHER NOTED TRIP
is the trip from Denver to Grand
Junction and return going via the mar
row gauge line climbing Marshall Pass
and winding through the Black Canon
of the Gunnison, returning over the
broad gauge through Glenwood
Springs and the Grand River Canon,
over Tennessee Pass, through Lead
vile and the Royal Gorge. This trip

Washington. ID. c., Dec. THE River
and Harbor Committee yesterday voted
TO recommend the appropriation OF $780,

Delaware river This action is in accord
with the course agreed on by the commit
tee last week. when il first assembled TO

reduction in the estimates Of the army

SYRIANS SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
Home and Foreign Missionary Society Met
in the First Presbyterian Church

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Home and Foreign Missionary So
ciety Of Central Presbyterian Church,
held on Tuesday afternoon several
visitors from Grace M. f. Church were
present, who not only augmented the
attendance, but gave, by their pres
ence, a practical illustration OF the
unity of spirit" that prevails among
Christian missionary workers.
Syria was the foreign country that
was under consideration, and the
mountaineers of the South the home
topic. Interesting information about
climate, physical features Of the coun-
try the encouragements In the work Of
evangellzing the native Syrians. the
heroic and many sided work of the vet
eran DR.. Jessup and his family, was
given. and a map of the country was
used to assist in the location Of the
places designated.
The mountaineers were pictured in
all their racial characteristics. Many
humorous bits We're introduced, and
these show that missionaries in the
southland are not without a funny
bone" The real need-the lack OF re-
ligious and educational training. was
presented and the prophecy made that
to increase these facilities would, in
one generation, do more to obliterate
the vices that are prevalent, than
would all the criminal laws on the
statute books in a century of time.
