San Francisco, July 9Th, 1915

Here we are at last at our final stopping
place in the trip of the editors. We
have been dragged about SO rapidly
that I hardly think I could give con-
nected account of all that we have seen
and done since wrote to the Review
a week ago from Los Angeles. I be-
lieve that I last described the very
pleasant reception accorded the editors
at Santa Fe. That was week ago
Saturday and leaving there we pro-
ceeded to Albuquerque. There we
found the reception prepared for us
took the nature of show day for the
natives. We were paraded up the
streets in the middle of the road between
rows of standing autos filled with the
residents of the city CARRIED in their
|lSunday best. A band headed the
circus procession and the curious popu-
lace seemed quite to enjoy the spectacle.
Arrived at the Commercial Club house
we were told that there was mistake
and that albuquerque did not expect
to feed u.s. as we had been told and we
were advised to run along and get
|some supper and then come back to the
Club and listen to the speeches they
had prepared to enlighten us as to the
glories of the great Southwest. We
found chance to eat at a Mexican
restaurant and decided that we could
do without the speeches. An Indian
dance was scheduled to amuse us
following the speeches but owing to the
fact that the citizens of Albuquerque
had apparently never seen anything of
the sort themselves it was impossible
4 for lis to, get within three. blocks of the
performance so we missed seeing the
noble Red Man cavort. Albuquerque
claims, we think, something like twelve to
fifteen thousand inhabitants. 1t looked to
us as tho they were out in full force
and also must be entertaining number
of visitors for the streets certainly held
crowd of something like twenty
thousand curious natives. Variety is
the spice of life and the experience at
this place but served to emphasize the
pleasures offered us at other points.
And at that, it was not so bad either.
We quite enjoyed the joke on ourselves.
after we were fed. 1t wasn't so funny
while we were hungry.
Sunday morning we found ourselves
on the way to the Grand Canon No
words of mine will in the least suffice
to convey the impressions aroused by
this wonderful example of the great
forces of nature. 1t is altogether inn
possible to give any adequate descrip-
ton of the beauty and magnificence of
the scene that spread itself before our
eyes as we stood at the brink of the inn
mense chasm and gazed across it. 1
shall not try to describe it. ! can only
hope that the readers of the Review may
all some day have an opportunity to
see something of the sort that they may
gain the sense of the greatness of the
power that brought order out of chaos.
Such sight brings to one fuller
realization of the wonders of life than
anything else can give. Astonishing
as are the accomplishments of man, they
fade into insignifcance beside such pro-
auctions of nature. These hackneyed
phrases but belittle the subject and l
