Special Convention Rate.

In a letter addressed to the chairman
OF the county central committee, j. W.
Lysons, secretary OF the state central
committee, states that all the leading
transportation companies have granted
a special round trip rate OF one and one
third the single rate for the republican
state convention at Tacoma August 3.
Full fare must be paid on the trip to
Tacoma, and in order to receive the one
third rate return ticket every individual
purchasing ticket to attend the con-
vention must obtain a receipt therefor
from the ticket agent at the time Of pur-
chasing bis ticket. This receipt will be
countersigned at Tacoma by the secre-
tary of the state committee and on pre-
seDtation TO ticket agent will entitle the
holder to purchase a return ticket for
one-third the regular rate. Without
the receipt, duly countersigned, reduced
rate return ticket can not be obtained.

New DWELLING in South End.

Mrs. G. g. White has purchased a lot

ards home, and will soon begin the con-
struction of modern bungalow. The
house, which she is building for home,
will be commoGious structure costing
$4,000, built for comfort and cOnven-
iepce, all on one floor. Mrs. White was
the first white woman to arrive in Col
fax and the family homestead where she
lived for so meny years is just north of
town. At the time OF the food Mrs.
White was occupying one OF the Hard
ing cottages on West street and was
compelled to make her exit from the
house by way OF an upstairs window.
Since that time she has been with her
daughter, Mrs Richardson, but expects
to have her home ready for occupancy
before winter.

above, the fall seeming to lengthen and
grow in grandeur as the journey pro-
crosses. It's spray is left near the top OF
the cliff to make a short detour to reach
the crown of the jewel, which we sOoD
grasp and get of our mules to view the
wonder An iron railing has been fast,
ened in the rock so that tourists can
safelw look over the precipice and see the
fall in all it's grandeur. To look down
594 feet is almost like looking into spece,
and one must get used to it TO be able
to fully enjoy the spectacle. To describe
the power, sublimity and effect OF this
large fall is more than words can do
Tourists by scores come and look, going
away awe struck by what they have seen.
The Goal In Sight.
But our journey to Glacier Point ia
not half completed yet. We have been
following the river and have climbed to
q cOndiderable height, but on q point,
overlooking the Yosemite valley which
we left few hours previous is seen the
Glacier House, where we are to stop for
the night. Again crossing the river on
a rustic bridge We apparently retrace our
steps, climbing the mountain by easy
stages leaving the river far below. The
views OF the mountain peaks and historic
points became more pronounced. To
name and tell OF them would require
more space than can be given in this
article, hence will be told in one to
follow.
Before reaching Glacier Point we pass
Illloutte fall, a fall Of some 500 feet, that
comes from snow fed mountain stream
that empties into the Merced.
Glacier Point is perpendicular preci-
pice that overlooks the valley 1854 feet.
On this point the Glacier Houee is built,
and here you not only look down upon
the valley below, but you get birdseye
| view Of the noted peaks that OvertOp
the valley as well as the system Of peaks
| that rise one above the other in every
| direction. 1t would take columns to de-
scribe il all. To eat your meals on the
! wide open veranda OF the hotel and to
gaze upon this ocean OF subIinity is an
experience no one should miss who comes
| to this upheaval in nature. From the
hotel veranda you look down on Vernal
aud Nevada falls, but the sound Of dash
ing waters never ceases, reaching your
ears at early morn when you wake and
lulling you to sleep at night.
A railing is placed at q point over
looking the valley, where people can
look with safety at the wonders below
| You look straight down on Camp Curry
seemingly being able to throw a rock
into the camp. A flag from a flagstaff
floats at this point. To look over this
precipice of 1854 feet is something tc
cause shivers to creep up ones back.
shall speak in another article OF the
peaks, domes and spires of the Yosemite

Complete harmony marked the work OF
the republican county convention held in
Colfax Wednesday to select delegates to
the state convention to be held at
Tacoma, August 3 More than half OF
the 194 delegates entitled to seats in the
convention were present in person, which
attendance was remarkable considering
the season of the year, When harvest
work claims the attention OF large
proportion OF the population. Thus far
little political noise has been made, but
the convention turnout reflects the inter
est actually felt in political matters.
E. K. Hanna, chairman OF the repub-
lican county central committee, called
the convention to order at II O'Clock,
stated the purpose for which it was con.
vened and announced as the first order
OF business the election of temporary
officers. These were filled by the unani-
nous election OF E K. Hanna as chair
man and Wiford Allen. secretary.
On motion the following committees
were appointed by the chair:

VernaI and Nevada Falls.

Vernal Fall is on this trip. It falls
over an overhanging cliff 317 feet, it
being a mad plunge from top to bottom.
By many Vernal fall is considered the
most beautiful in the national park.
Only a short distance above and in
plain sight is Nevada fall, another sheer
plunge OF 594 feet.
Between the two falls the trail descends
