sunday the members OF the CLUB
were taken up to Big Springs as the
euests of the Short Line, but the
weather being decidedly stormy, not
much of interest TRANSFERRED save the
trout-catching stunts of several OF the
editors, but that created plenty OF
sport, and the crowd returned to the
city early in the evening.
The party was provided with two
extra coaches by the railroad manage
ment, and the trip was made Sunday
morning clear through to Big
Springs, 16 miles south of the Short
Lines gateway to Yellowstone park.
At Big Springs the newspaper men and
women were gorgeously entertained
at the famous ranch house Of DR.. Blew
ms. and returned to Ashton on spe-
cial train to connect with the regular
train southbound from that town, ar
irving in Rexburg in time for sump-
tuous supper at the Idaho hotel, where
Mine Host Dan Shields, and his anna
BILE wife, entertained the newspaper
people during their stay in regal
fashion,
The trip to Big Springs over the
new park extension of the Short Line
was one long to be remembered. The
natural scenery along this route is
sublime in it's grandeur. At Warm
River station, which is the southern
and western boundary Of the Henry
= AXE forest reserve, and where be-
gins the steep climb through Warm
river canyon, the motive power OF the
railroad is changed from coal-burning
engines to oiI-burning locomotives.
Winding along the turbulent Warm
river in it's narrow canyon, the trav-
eler is treated to constantly-chang-
ing panorama of beautiful views. The
grade is very steep and 1t required
two powerful engines to pull the
heavy train Sunday morning through
Warm river canyon. Emerging on q
high plateau, near Mesa station. the
scene abruptly changes from one Of
abysmal canyons and battlemented
crags, booming river and cliffs OF
Enthusiastically eroded rocks, to one OF
simple pastoral beauty. From Mesa
to Big Springs the route strikes al-
most straight across marvellous
natural park, wherein Isolated
thickets of lodgepole pine trees ap-
1 year to be wooden islands In an emer-
- aid sea OF meadow and mesa. TO
