packed for short order service.
two strong teams formed the
equipment of the party, and at
8 o'clock the start was made from
the Mcclure house, now the
Strathmore hotel, for the drive to
Parkdale. Mr.. R. S. Lewis, still
of Canon City, was perhaps the
prime mover of the party, with an
able assistant in the person of l.
S. Brandegee, the eminent botan-
ist, now of San Diego, California.
Then Mr.. F. A. Reynolds, also
of Canon City, who being much
younger and gayer in spirit in
those days was always ready for
fun, and J. J. Eberts of New

some as Colonel de Boots" SO

companied by four women, who
had as a goal held before them
that they were beyond all ques-

ventured themselves upon this
perilous trip. They were Mrs.
C. G. Ring, now of White Plains,

widow of D. G. Peabody. of Bos-

Magdalene Sheetz, now Mrs. R.

The winter of '74-7S was, like
'o7-'o3, one of those exceptions to
our generally accepted Italian eli
mate theory, which proves the
rule. Chill winds and cold storms
brought to us condition SO "un-
usual as to favor the cherished
plan of a few of Canon's daring,
and some might say almost fool
hardy, sons and daughters. The
Grand Canon, as now, was the
Mecca for all the visitors. and no
stranger guest could be allowed
to leave unvisited its craggy walls
and tremendous heights, and their
exclamation of wonder and de-
light over its grandeur were con-
sidered an ample reward for an
other long and firing days trip,
held in the thralldom of its inn
mensity.
In those days the drive to its
summit, of twelve miles steady
climbing, over rocky roads,
through the sand of Devils Gap,
broken by occasional tramps to
tighten the load over these hard
est bits of road, was our only way
to this inspiring view of nature.
The walls of the Canon rose per-
pendicularly, in many places,
from the swift flowing Arkansas,
so that any means of travelling
through the gorge at its base was
out of the question decidedly, and
to those of us who remember a
few years later the building of the
railroad through its rocky heart,
it seemed an almost inconceiva-
BILE thing that such a feat of en-
gineering could be successfully
accomplished, but the ingenuity
of man lured on by hope of gain,
progress and fame has conquered,
and will more and more conquer
all nature.
On January 9TH, rs, party OF
eight people, the personnel OF
which shall not be nameless, find
ing the ice on the river of suffi-
cient strength and quality to jus
tify the commitment of their pre-
cious bodies to its mercy and fa-
vor, determined to attempt their
long cherished desire of seeing

the party could not be dampeneu

behind us and found three more

H. Merritt, former NJ E. pastor

Canon, who now lives in Grand
Junction. At bend in the river

where the Iron Bridge now hangs

made us wonder just a little
