SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. Il

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. II.
On our way here from Colorado we
passed through many places of great
interest. About, 30 miles below Colora-
d" Springs we passed over skeleton
trussel where an engine had gone
through the day before and junt been
raised from the ditch. The engine look
ed like big elephant that had rolled in
the mud.
Pueblo, a mining town of 60, 900, was
the extreme southern point on eur read,
going from there west TO the mountains
we came to Florence, a great oil field.
Saw one tank that would cover about
block The next place of interest was
Canyon Center. A dozen boys and girls
were at the depot to sell fruit. they dis
posed of nearly a wagon load in a few
minutes stop there. 1t was the first OPP
psrtunity we had to buy fresh, ripe
fruit right from the trees, and the tour
lists bought very literally. We passed
on west through the Royal Gorge 1t
is an enjoyable ride of about eight miles
along the Arkansas river, which has
found it's way through the dense eliffsof
mountains, whose side walls are perpen-
dicular. in many places a height OF 200
feet. We reached Leadville abont 10
o'clock at night, which is great mining
town in the mountains 1t was dark
and of course we didn't see much of the
place. 1t is the summit of the Roekys,
nevertheless.
The next place C interest was the
Great Salt Lake with its many attrae-
tions. The ice palace, an enormous
building made of natural salt rock laid
IL cement, is an opera house. The
Norman tabernacle, which seats 10000
peo pie, has one of the largest pipe organs
IN the world. 1t is grand structure
and 1t tosk forty years TO complete it.
Fort Douglas, military post. is magni-
ficent in itself; saw the cavalry drill OF
about 800 horses. The city is one Of the
finest have vet seen. Its streets are
100 feet between eurbs, i6 fsot walks
and each hlsck covers 10 acres Salt Air
Beach hrs one of the finest and largest
| paviiops in the west. Has 2, 400 bath
rooms under roof, besides dance re.i
which covers about one acre enjoyed
a bath IN the salt water more than any
thing else so far on the trip. On leaving
Salt Lake the regular train could not
accommodate all the passengers, and q
special was made up there which took
ns 10 Ogden. We suffered more going
! through the Utah desert than we did
in crossing the one in Nevada. In the

Kindness and purity. But shall we pro-
