The Indian school wa9 a much larger institution than he had even supposed Carlisle to be. He was amazed to find that the government was making such elaborate provisions for the future of the. next generation of Indians.
 The bread fields of alfalfa. green at a season when the fields of Connecticut are either white or brown, was another interesting thing. He regretted that his business at home was of such a nature that he could not remain a few days longer.
 MT. Reynolds entrance to the valley was somewhat exciting. He arrived at Ash Fork on the limited and thought he would make time> by taking the freigh. from that point to Hot Springs Junction. That was the freight which had an accident near Wickenburg on Tuesday. Up to that point he enjoyed the trip very much for the scenery was grand and surprising.
 Even the accident was not as un- pleasant an incident as those affairs usually are. 1t was caused by the breaking of q hange of d Pennsylvania steel car with the result that couple Of other cars were derailed.
 Mir Reynolds said he hoped that he might arrange his business so that pn his return to the territory he might spend more tine.
