Occasional herds of cattle are to be
seen as we 60 westward, and at times
droves of horses, and although the cow
boys are not always in sight of their
herds, yet they are scouting about, and
very soon show up if there comes
special need of them. Way stations
are frequent along the line, but ours
is through train to the Pacific coast,
and none but through passengers are
on board. Occasionally we stop to
take on water, send kilograms and get
special orders, and at times a short
stop is made to change engines and
engineers, for, if the great iron mon
sters need no rest, the same cannot be
said of the strenuous engineers. Read

step aboard the train that the brave
man at the throttle takes your life,
along with the lives of scores beside, in
his hands for the time being? There
is much of interest to see as we pass

nately our train time was such as to
