DR.. Hopkins says that the main him
drance from Mesa Verde Park to
Bluff is crossing one stream, but this
road is now used daily by wagons
hauling lumber and other material,
and is used by machines from Bluff to
Greyson, but that the traveller is told
that this is hoodoo, that once upon
a time a machine sank in this river
and only its wind shield showed above
the water. Another common hoodoo
is the danger of crossing at Lees Fer
ny, which the Doctor declares is safer
to machine than on Main Street in
Los Angeles.

that he would wish to 90 back with
him along the route. Sorry to say Mr..
Owens was en- route to New York
when he received the telegram sent
by Dolph Andrus from Kanab that he
had got through, and that the road
was very passable-not dangerous or
very difficult. He hopes to have Mr..

Of the Arrowhead Trails Association
to 90 back with him"
DR.. Hopkins made log all along
the way and took many photographs.
This log will be prepared at the ear
liest possible moment to aid all trav-
elers who desire to go across the high
way. He says the worst difficulties
along the way are the hoodoos and the
ghosts; that the worst spots to be
found on the road are at some impor-
tant mans door--at Kaienta, for in
stance, close to Weatherall's place, is
a bad dugway. Close to Bluff there
is comb reef wash that can be easily
attended to, etc. etc, in which places a
team today has no trouble, but it is
little difficult for machine and also
remarks that after all other highways

and other troubles are bad only in

The Swords of Grant and Lee

Methinks tonight l catch a CLEAN
OF steel among the pines,
And yonder by the lilied stream
Repose the foemen's lines;
The ghostly guards who pace the
ground
A moment stop to see
If all is safe and still around
The tents of Grant and Lee.
'Tis but a dream: no armies camp
Where once their bay'nets shone
And Hespers's calm and lovely lamp
Shines on the dead alone.
A cricket chirps on yonder rise
Beneath the cedar tree
Where glinted meath the summer
skies
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Forever sheathed those famous blades
mat leu tne eager van.
They shine no more among the glades
That fringe the Rapidan.
Today their battle work is done,
Go draw them forth and see
That not stain appears upon
The swords of Grant and Lee
Today no strife of sections rise,
Today no shadows fall
Upon our land, and meath the skies
One flag waves over all;
The Blue and Gray as comrades stand
As comrades bend the knee,
And ask Gods blessing on the land
That gave us Grant and Lee.
SO long as southwark, wide and clear,
Potomac's river runs
Their deeds win live because they
were
Columbia's brave sons.
So long as bend the northern pines,
Aud blooms the orange tree,
The swords will shine that led the
lines
OF valiant Grant and Lee.
Methinks hear bpgle blow,
Methinks hear a drum;
And there, with martial step and slow,
Two ghostly armies come;
They are the men that met as foes,
For It's the dead see,
And side by side in peace repose
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Above them let old glory wave,
And let each deathless star
Forever shine upon the brave
Who led the ranks of war;
Their fame resounds from coast to
coast,
From mountain top to sea;
No other land but ours can boast
The swords Of Grant and Lee.

DR.. HOPKINS DESCRIBES THE
NEW MONUMENTAL HIGHWAY"
NEW SCENIC ROUTE TO CONNECT ARROWHEAD TRAIL
WITH COLORADO AND EAST, VIA SOUTHERN UTAH
AND NORTHERN ARIZONA.

DR.. w. II. Hopkins of Salt LAX,
City, and Mr. Dolph Andrus Of Bluff
San Juan county, were in Cedar Cit,
this week, having just come over what
is to be known as the Monumental
Highway, and which both gentlemen
are sanguine is destined to become a
most popular routes for tourists from
the east to California. Seen by a
Record representative Dr. Hopkins
talked enthusiastically about the new
route from scenic standpoint, as we'll
as from practical standpoint He
said in part:
"Dolph Andrus of Buff, Utah, and
my self have just completed an initial
automobile trip along the Utah-Ari-
iona line, from the east to the west,
sometimes in Utah, sometimes in Ari-
IONA, through a country Astounding in
scenes and wonders. The object was
to verify and log highway that could
be used from southern Colorado and
the east to California, through route
which is passable almost the year
round
eve left Bluff Tuesday morning,
May 7th, logging the road, water,
hills, sand, ETC., and taking many pho
tographs Many times stopping for
hours to wonder at and view the
scenes along the way
"This Monumental highway, so to
speak, begins at Mesa Verde Park,
magnificent government park, full of
mountains and cliffs and the homes
of ancient cliff dwellers. This park
is located in the southwestern part of
Colorado and last year there were
some seven thousand tourists came to
visit it, This highway then would
cross into Utah to Bluff, which by
completed road would take about three
hours for an ordinary machine.
"From Bluff one would go to view
the natural bridge monuments, the
Augusta, Caroline and Edwin, which
is now done with pack train, taking
two to three days to go and the same
to return. and in all there is joy and
81 al 10
From Bluff this highway must go
along the north shore Of the San Juan
river, crossing it at Goodrich, where
there is substantial suspension
bridge, safe and sure, replacing a
wooden one which was washed out
some years since.
"Now we are in the Navajo Indian
Reservation and Indians are common
visitors at our camp. Only few
miles further on, one arrives at the
gateway of Monumental Valley, part
of which is in Utah and part in Ari-
IONA. 1t is full of huge monuments,
spikes of rock going way up into the
heavens, of many shapes and interest
ing peculiarities-the Organ rock
FL Capitan-The Squaw-The Mitten
Moses Rock, from which by some
peculiar condition, water gushes from
its side, as though it were the rock
that Moses struck and commanded
that water should pour forth-and
many others, that as yet have not re-
ceived a name.
During the following morning one
arrives at Kayenta. Here an Indian
trader, Wetherall by name, is ready
with his pack horses to take travellers
to see the Rainbow Bridge National
monument and TO view amazing an
cient cliff dwellings of Keetseel ruins
Inscription house ruins etatakir
ruins. These are all we'll known tc
Eastern travellers, who have Travelled
for many days under the guidance OF
Mr.. Weatherall.

"Thence the automobile traverse
Marsh Pass-a beautiful road and wei
made, up and down, amidst fores
, Of dwarf pines and cedars-and view
of forest scenes come continually int
view.
"At night we may camp at Redlak,
and get acquainted with one of the
quaintest Indian trading posts in the
Indian country, under charge of Mr.
Boyer, who always is willing to tell
of Indian life, customs and mode Of
living. This is built on the top of a
little mountain, and will make trav-
eler recall the old Monasterfes that he
has seen in olden Europe.
an a couple of hours one comes to
Tuba, where Indian schools are To-
Gated, with dormitories for boys and
dormitories for girls, and with the
many other buildings of red stone,
makes a little frontier settlement all
of its own. A couple of miles away
is Moencopi, one of many Hopi Indian
villages. These will be found Of much
interest, with their basket making,
pottery, and primitive methods in
vogue for crushing wheat and corn
into flour. These people are like the
Japanese in many ways. They have
their own stores and tourists here will
see many amusing incidents.
"Now we follow along long null
ticolored range of mountains called
the Echo Cliffs, which ends at Lees
Ferry. The Ferry boat is capable of
carrying two machines and is oper-
ated and owned by Coconino county,
of Arizona. A huge cable is hung
across the river and from this cable
pulleys and smaller cables are attached
to the ferry boat, which moves back
and forth across the river, aided by
the current and some assistance from
the ferry man. On this side of the
river is the bell and on sounding it,
the ferry man who lives just across,
is always prepared to carry one "a
cross. Horses, wagons, automobiles,
Indian ponies and cattle keep him busy
a good deal of the time. On the OPP
posite side of the ferry is a beautiful
spot--the home of the ferry man
a place to linger and rest amid beau
tiful trees and running water.
From here the road leads up to
Horse Rock, the center of the Bar Y
ranch, that many have read about.
Camp here for a few days if desired,
where rounding up and branding of
horses and cattle is daily occupation.
Then on up into the Kaibab plateau
where one winds in and out on good

there, perhaps, seeing a black squir-
rel with white tail or timid deer
jealousy guarded by the U. S. gov
ernment-a thousand dollar fine be-
ing imposed for the destruction of
one of these peaceful little animals.
"In the center of all this the road
leads to Jacobs Lake forest rangers
station-a pretty spot for camping.
"From here fine auto road in two
hours brings one to the brink of the
Grand Canyon--Bright Angel Trail
and Inspiration Point and Eltovar or
the opposite bank. 1t is not neces
sary here to relate more about this
well known country. So following
the highway we reach Fredonia anC

To Shoot at Saunders Range

Letters were sent out yesterday by
the Maryland League for National
Defense to 80 of its members who
have qualified as marksmen on the
outdoor rife range (Saunders) at the
Saturday afternoon shoots, held dur
ing the summer under the auspices
of the league, reminding them that
the regular sharpshootef course will
be followed this afternoon, and that
they are eligible to shoot it.
Among those who have already
qualified as marksmen and who have
/ declared their intention to partici-
pate in today's shoot are: Robert
Garrett, Carroll Van Ness. Samuel M.
Warns, II. l.. Harker, Dr. Eugene
Van Ness and Col. Louis NJ Rawlins.
The men have been asked to get to
the range by o'clock, if possible,
which can be done by taking the 1890
train from Camden Station. Those
who come first will shoot first I'm
less as many as II men are at the
range by / o'clock darkness may
come on before every one, especially
the later arrivals, is able to shoot the
entire course.
