portland, Ore. June 81, 1910.
Dear Mr.. Lowrey:-
Arrived O. K. in Portland about
two weeks ago and have been very
busy taking in the city, but will now
take time to write you of my trip.
which was very pleasant and also very
interesting.
left nome May 2nd and my first
stop was at Clarion, Ia, where L
visited two weeks with my sisters,
Mrs. A. o. Lee and Mrs. III. A.
Elwell
From there went to Giltner, Neb.
where my uncle, G. L. Irish resides
Had dandy time there hunting jack
rabbits etc. My cousin, Miss lola
Irish. is fine rife shot and we went
hunting great DEAL
From there I went to Lexington,
Neb., where visited at the home of
my uncle, L. S. Hine, He resides on
farm ten miles from town. Had
great time thsre riding horses, rcping
and riding steers etc. Will tell you
of ride I took on steer. One
afternoon my cousin and [ went over
to neighbours where there were
several young fellows and they roped
a steer and then we drew straws to
see who would ride it. Or course
got the short straw so 1t was up to me
to do the riding stunt. / was game,
however. and jumped on. He didn't
buck very much at first so the fellows
got the dogs after it. 1t bucked all
right then and started after one of the
dogs. It was So busy chasing the dog
that it didn't look where it was
going and stepped in ditch and fell
down sticking its horns in the ground
therefore, stopping all at once. |
didn t stop. however kept right ON
going The laugh was on me all
right but it was great sport. MY
next stop was at Denver where / spent
day. Took a trip in "Seeing
| Denver auto which takes you to all
the principal points of interest in the
city. We passed thousands of beauti-
full residences, the u. S. Mint, State
capital etc. We then went to
Cheerman Park. which is the highest
point in Denver and from which could
be obtained very good view of the
city and the mountains From there
can be seen about two hundred miles
of the mountain range, including
Pixies Peak and several other snow
capped peaks. It was very warm in
Denver that day ano it seemed strange
to look over on the mountains and see
snow. The scenery there is grand
We next visited the city park where
there were several small but beautiful
lakes, wild animals birds. etc.
Would like to describe everything
more fully but it would take too long
and take up too much space so will
just pass over it briefly.
I next went TO Cheyenne, Wyo.,
arriving there at 10 80 at night and
couldn' get out until II 80 the next
day. There WASH It much to see there.
I went up in the dome of the Capitol.
from where good view of the sur
rounding country could be obtained
including a fine mile race track and
Fort Russelle. My next stop was at
Salt Lake City where l remained
about a week, My cousins, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jas. Mougin reside at Midvale.
a suburb of Salt Lake City / could
sit on the porch there and look up
| into the mountains which were only
three or four miles distant. The
mountains there were not snow
capped but snow could be seen on
them.
My couisn, who is attorney for the
y. s smelters at Midvale, took me
through the SHELTERS and concentrat
ing plant It was very interesting.
Mining is the chief industry around
there. In Salt Lake City I saw
several of the houses where Brigham
Young lived, amelia Palace which
presented to his last and tavorite wife
is very beautiful !. T. visited the
| SIOuuuos sow sELO
tabernacle, ETC. The temple is
beautiful from the outside but as one
must be Mormon and a good one to
gain admittance I did not see the
inside.
[ attended two organ recitals in
the Tabernacle which were simply
grand There is a male voice stop
and a female voice stop and when
they are used it sounds likes quartettes
singing can't tell you now beauti
full it was. The organ is forty feet
high in front and the organist sits
sixty five feet from 1t when he plays.
l went out to ''Saltair Beach
