S. B. Calderhead general freight
and passenger agent of the w. & c. r.
will present to Whitman college one
of the beautiful relief maps of yell
lowstone Park. which have just been
gotten out by the Northern Pacific
railroad company. The map represents
a birdseye view of the park and shows
every mountain, hotel, lake, river and
geyser basin. 1t is taken directly from
the government Typographical survey
of the park. The whole route through
which a traveller passes is shown COM
pletely on the map. After entering the
great stone arch erected by the United
States at the entrance one sees on the
right the mountains of the Gallatin
range, several of whose snow tipped
SUBMITS are over 10000 feet high.
Only a short distance further on in
this wonderland of wonderlands are
tremendous geysers spouting boiling
water into the air. The maps show
Obsidian cliff, mountain of pure black
glass. The whole of Yellowstone lake
is sketched in with a marvellous fidelity
to detail This is the highest body of
fresh water !? North America. bein"
7721 feet above the level of the Pacific
ocean. From this starts the canon of
the Yellowstone river, whose aWe-ln-
spring cliffs rise perpendicularly 5000
feet from the water. The shape and
color of this canon appear very clearly
on the map. The elevation of every
mountain is shown in small black fig
ures, which do not injure the appear
ance of the map as whole.
The map is sent out by the company.
Autographed in natural colors on ele-
CANT paper. The whole is 80 inches
wide by As inches long. Mr.. Calder
head plans to have the same framed
himself so that it will show off well.
He will have it ready by the opening
of the school year, next month.
