Grand Canyon just the spot where
one would expect to find renegades
and road agents holding up lonesom,
travellers. 1t is romantic; scenic, rug.
ged, unusual and dangerous. We
passed through, up, over and down in
safety and ran on perhaps II miles
farther, where we came to Sherman
Hill, on the summit, of which stands
monument of native reddish stone 65
feet high. This is the Great Cont
mental Divide, after passing which the
traveller is on the Pacific coast slope
instead of on the Mississippi slope
This Ames monument was erected in
honor of Oliver and Cakes Ames, to
whom the completion of the Union
Pacific railroad was mainly due.
Pixies Peak is easily seen at the south
and in every direction may be seen
other peaks of more or less triking
heights or description.
On this bleak and barren crest lies
cemetery in which are inferred the
remains of several persons. Small
monuments mark the graves which are
enclosed in rude and weather-beaten
fences. One marker tells of the death
of w. G.. Hartman in 1879. We picked

light patter of rain began-in fact the
first we had seen in ten days. 1t did
not continue long and we proceeded on
our interesting way.
Through Colorado and Wyoming
and farther west we saw japanese
and Chinese railroad section and farm
hands; jack pines (short stubby bar
rem pine trees with a minimum of
foliage on them), bunch grass, sage
brush, buffalo wallows mud holes
made in earlier days by wild buffa-
los), says trees, cac-us-and all sorts
of strange and unnatural growths pc

terless, barren section of the country
that is interesting, awe-inspiring, al

On we went through redcolored
buttes, near TO alkali pools, over sand
and rocks until we reached Laramie.
Here we filed up with gas and other
supplies, including a desert bag for
drinking water. A desert bag is made
of canvas, rope and some sort of
tar coating. 1t keeps drinking water
cool, fresh and palatable.
Laramie is a substantial town of
considerable civilization, with modern
buildings, good citizens and fine

In the afternoon it began TO ram,
and after running along through 1t
for an hour or two we came TO quite
an inviting spot. 1t was in a canyon
that had natural moisture enough TO
grow vegetation. A brook flowed
merrily down from the mountain and
the banks were lined with under
growth and small trees. A group OF
buildings stood near the roadway and
a short distance away stood hnely
built barn. There was workshop
across the road and altogether the
Mace looked more like an eastern
farm than any we had seen for many
DAYS. AS we drove up to the building
nearest the road and just before
reaching the brook, which flowed dl-
rectly across the path, two men came
out on the platform OF the building
We saluted and asked:
