o'clock before our party were settled
in their respective berths and the
baggage arranged after leaving Salt
Lake, ard then our porter was making
ihiugs pleasant by putCiag down
berths. During this period and until
feur the next morning we travelled
over large sage brush and desert
land, which, being sleepy, failed to
arouse much enthusiasm. AT four,
however, we entered the hills of til
Rockies, So found in Colorado and the
ubiquitious porter awaking us to the
fact. we ga2ed on the scenery for
few minutes, then hunted the diner
and afterwards were ready to intel
ligently crlticise the hills, railroad,
grass, or any other object presented
! tous.
Without equivocation the Denver
q Rio Grande is beyond compare.
Gong from Grand Junction to Den.
yer, you travel along the Colorado
river, winding through fertile valleys,
over green clad hills, until we reached
the Grand Canyon at which point
all of us tried to secure footing on the
rear steps, and the kodaks were pop
ping from all sides. The sight wa.
magnificent, precipice on each side,
the river rushing and tumhliug down
the gplch, within few feet of the
track, giant bonlders apparently hang
ing over your head and trees, flowers
and grass giving a color effect. Not
often is the equal of this scene found.
and once found it's memory-photo, can
never be erased. AT this point, with
the rear of the river and the train in
our ears and the clear blue sky of the
rockies as q background to one of
natures most awe-inspiring views in
our eyes, the chorus started Idaho
