Senator Paynter, Congressman Ed
wards; Jno.( c. Mayo, ex-senator
Henry L. Martin and other congen-'
ial spirits were in our sleeper. 1t is
surprising how pleasantly gentleman
can get along when they don't discuss
religion or politics. The scenery
along the c. & 0. Railroad is beauti-
full. 1t is not so striking as the
Rockies in the United States and
Canada or the Alps in Europe, but it
is equal In beauty.
We are bowling along in perfect
comfort at rate of over thirty miles
an hour. The valley is as yet in
green foliage: half way up the noun
tains, the brown of autumn is seen.
At the top there is a coating of IL
purest snow, a perfect blending of
natures colors. All through these
mountains there are springs, some of
them flowing water that is hot, others
with a sulphur taste, all of them
said to have curative properties, of
which take but little stock.
