This is my third trip to This
Wonderland beyond the Rockies,
which like everything else, under the
sun, has its advantages and its disad-
vantages. but it may be said Of abor-
iginal days here, the conditions are
favorable, is accessible, it is healthful
and picturesque and the prospect on
every hand is varied and interesting,
and it has always been one Of the
dreams of my life, to own, occupy and
operate a farm ranch in the far west,
among the mountains, and I have al
ways been eagerly looking forward to
the time, when T could make good
ranch my permanent home but as Il
am now living on borrowed time, be-
ing past the allotted age Of three
score and ten, I suppose I must re-
linquish my former plans, and still
be content to feel at home with my
children on their ranches, especially
while visiting them in far away sunny
Washington.
you know it is the only investment
that cannot fail US, and farming is an
industry upon which the entire bust
ness OF the world is based
"The cheerfulness of the people
around the ranch, is based upon sub
stantial things, and the farmer who
smiles, has bank book in his pock-
ct to account for his happy view of
life.
Before history was invented this
part of the world was the land of the
farmer, and the evidence is not want
ing for the people who owned this fer
tile section, left little record of them
selves. That they were farmers, and
numerous, has been proven without
"a doubt.
Not many decades have passed since
immigration began passing into the
far west. During this period, millions

The Difference.

Science is concerned with the names,
distances and magnitudes of the stars;
and with problems touching the sin
testinal parasites of the fea." Art, lit
erature and religion are concerned
only with mankind with the elemental,
the universal, the eternal; with the
dream, the defeat, the romance Of life.

eaten with a spoon like ice cream.
