so arranged themselves as to form an almost perfect map of North America. Just below is the figure of an old man who stands half bent looking down the valley.
 Just beyond El Capitan are the Three Brothers. At the head of the valley and in the distance we see Clouds Rest and Half Dome. To the right, and directly in front of El Capitan is the Bridal Veil Falls. You have heard of their beautiful, lacy appearance as they come tumbling down 600 feet before reaching the bot tom. It is more than true. The story has never half been told. Next are the Cathedral Spires, then the Three Graces. then Glacier Point and you have practically been round the valley from where we drew rein, barring that at the foot of the valley you find Cascade Falls.
 The floor of the valley has an area of about 2OOO acres of land, which is covered with a variegated carpet of green meadows. Through these mead ows from the rocky cliffs that sur round them come tumbling, roaring and pouring ten different streams the main one being the Merced River.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-07-05

As the eye follows these different streams and the sunlight kisses them here and there, leaving streak of purple or silver, you are lost as you grope for comparisons, and can only say, "Never have I seen the like be- fore"
 Down from the Heights.
 But we must pass on, for we still have a drive of two hours before reaching the hotel. Down, down, down we go till at length we reach the level, but we are still 4O00 feet above sea level.
 As we stand on the back veranda of the hotel we find the Yosemite Falls little to the left and within half a mile of us. The roar and rush of the water at times sounds like the roar of a cannon and again like that of distant thunder. The Merced River is at our feet and is restful to look upon.
 Sabbath Recreation.
 We now find that Sunday morning is here, and We have half days rest In the afternoon we drive down the valley to Cascade Falls, the round trip being a distance of seventeen miles,

those on the front seat catch glimpse of the grand, glorious won- ders of the Yosemite. In a few mo- ments the stage swings around sharp curve, is driven broadside along the edge of a precipice, the horses are brought to a dead standstill, and our proudest hopes are realized. We have reached Inspiration Point. I could not think of attempting to describe the scene that is now before us, but will simply note some of the most prominent features.
 Yosemite Valley.
 The valley is completely hemmed in by solid gray granite walls, which are sombre in appearance and which rear their heads in many places to heights of from 5000 to 5000 feet above the floor of the valley. These walls are nearly all perpendicular. El Capitan is on the left, and is the giant of the Yosemite. It's face is almost as smooth as though it had been polished and it contains 160 acres of perpen- dicular wall. The rains have brought out many different colors, and dark streaks can be seen in many places. At about midway these stains have

 In the Forests.
 We reached Wawona at o'clock. Next morning We arose at o'clock and looked about us. To the right of the hotel the mountains are a good height, and at their feet flows the south branch of the Merced River, which rushes along, adding much to the beauty of the surroundings, but we have not the time to do justice to this retreat, so We set out once more for the valley.
 We have already passed through miles of beautiful forest, but as we ad- vance from here the scenery is more wild and wonderful. Mountain streams go rushing along, the grade is longer and sleeper till at last, through the trees and in the distance

ana IOunu the Jrlp well WOTUn JdkluS. A gentleman told me that he had gathered forty different varieties of flowers while en route to the valley. The water is soft, cold and delicious. As we came back we crossed the river and reached Bridal Veil Falls in time to see three distinct rainbows in the mist as the sun was sinking behind the hills and the shadows were fall ing.
 From Mirror Lake over the Trail
 We reached the hotel about 6 o'clock, had fine dinner, enjoyed the moonlight evening and retired so as to start early next morning for Mir TOT Lake, which we did, reaching there in time to see those towering mountains reflected perfectly in the water-a sight never to be forgotten. Saw the sun rise twice the same morning. There were probably seven ty-five people present and kodaks were numerous.
 From here we drove for the trail to Glacier Point. The ladies secured di- vided skirts and with eight mules and two horses in our party and an able guide, we began to climb once more. The trail is eleven miles long and we were six hours making the distance, with very little stop. First, we were at the foot of the Nevada Falls, then at the top, where we crossed the Mer- ced River on a bridge. These falls drop distance of 900 feet straight down. Can the scene be described? No. It must be seen to be appreciated.
 On this mountain trail we reached height of over 1000 feet. Not far away the summit of the Sierra Me- vadas reach height of from 10000 to 12,OOO feet and their peaks are covered with snow that glistened in the sun light like great balls of crystal.
 A Charming view.
 At 2 o'clock we reached Glacier Point. Dinner was ready and We were ready for dinner. Then we started for the overhanging rock. Well, just draw the curtain of thought about you and try to imagine what words are all too poor to express. Only two of our party-Jack Chaffey and Miss Rose Edmonds-had the courage to venture on the rock. Men and women-all save one-protested, begged them not to go, but they stepped quietly forth and in an instant the kOdaks were leveled and snapped and they returned safely to the ledge. As we stood on the brink of the cliff with solid iron railing in front, l heard men who were strong and staunch and used to mountain life, say their knees quaked beneath them and feeling of faintness drove them back till the valley was lost to view. Three thousand three hundred feet straight down will try the nerve of the best of men. That is what it is at Glacier Point.
 As we look into the valley the river seems no larger than thread of sill yer. Trees that stand 100 to 150 feet

Leave the Railroad.

We reached Raymond, the railroad terminus, at sunrise the next morning and everyone was up and ready to leave the car as soon as it rolled into the station. This particular feature prevailed throughout the entire trip. Not once were we called on to wait for any member of our party. This was, perhaps, remarkable, but true' notwithstanding the fact that one of the ladies of the party told of how, a few years ago, she had to take the greater part of her wedding trip alone, because her husband let the train go off without him. With one side of his face shaved and the other besmeared with father. he tore down the street, beating the air with his fists, but all in vain. The train was out of reach, so also was his bride. He had ample time to learn that 7:3O did not mean 7:31, and it would seem that he learned it well. We would not wish to be personal, but if you see MT. Melick ask him. He can tell you all about 1t.
 The Hotel at Raymond had been burned a few days previous to our arrival The rear and wing of gro- cery store had been utilized for the benefit of travellers, and here we had a good breakfast and were again reaoy for the stage. Some eight or nine stages with seating capacity for from eight to eleven persons, besides their luggage, drawn by four good stout horses, were soon filled, and with a loud hurrah we were off,
 Seventy Miles of Staging
 Seventy long miles, mostly up grade, were before us, but no one seemed to mind either the distance or the dust as we jogged along. From Raymond to Ahwahnee there is sameness that would doubtless have grown monotonous, save for the hi- larity and jovial good feeling that pre- vailed.
 At two o'clock we reached Ahwah- nee, where we had luncheon, which was very good indeed. The hotel was fairly filled with beautiful flowers and their freshness and fragrance was restful, to say the least. This is a beautiful spot-a place where those who are weary of business, society or what not, may rest in peace. In one hour We were again journeying on ward.
 A Sixty-fve Mile Plume.
 About half way between Ahwahnee and Wawona our attention was called to an immense Hume that is sixty-ive miles in length. As it stands on its wooden legs and winds in and out among the hills, it reminds me of a monstrous centipede, with the top of its back cut off, so as to form a trough. There it stands and sixteen carloads of lumber each day is car ried through it from one of the larg-
