II drove around the country with a
farmer near Yakima on the afternoon of
Oct. and saw orchard after orchard
loaded with fruit Of size and in such
quantities that it would be hard to believe
unless had seen it with my own eyes.
OFF to the west. over the Jagged sun blis-
ter ranges, Mt Rainier peeped over at US,
his head smothered in clouds, and south
of him Mt. Adams showed vast bulk Of
snow covered rocks, unrelleyed by single
cloud, in sharp contrast to the dryness
and heat Of the desert across which we
looked
That night crawled into box car
loaded with fir lumber and soon pulled
out for Paseo. Next morning at Prosser
we sidetracked until late that afternoon,
on account Of head on collision between
two freight trains about ten miles ahead
Of US. Tire night had been so cold that
the other Dos and had suffered quite
bit and now, with the sunreflecting from
the face Of the desert things swung around
TO the other extreme and we we're nearly
roasted. Late that afternoon we reached
Kennewick and orawled over the long
bridge across the beautiful Columbia and
soon trod the dirt again in Pasco.
= wish ! could do justice to the desert
country. 1t is the most absolutely barren
country on the face Of the earth A bis
tered wash Of space, where one can see
for miles and miles until the details blur
into great brown and yellow blotches ana
the heat waves go shImmering upward
through the clear dry air. spent my
last cent in Pasco for lunch and that even
ing after dark jumped another freight for
Spokane That night about a dozen Of
US rode 10 a cattle car loaded with ties
that we're full Of long slivers and haven t
got all Of them out Of my system vet. It
was TAG mile ride in the dark ard
seemed to be up grade almost all the way.
We we're so stiff from the cold that next
morning when we got off ten miles out Of
Spokane we could hardly walk Ny part
ner and | struck the pike and soon ran
across a load Of hay and slept as the
farmer brought US into Spokane. spent
several days in Spokane trying TO starye
to death bot finally got a.Iob with pass
tied to It and rode the cushions out to the
tail end Of a seven mile canon, into the
mining camp Of Burke Idaho

street here and hit the sides Of the canon

rows Of stores and a railroad that's all

feet higher than Wallace, seven miles be-
low here, where left the main line and
it is about 1876 miles over to Missoula.
