President found little use for his voice
to-day but a great deal for his eyesight.
Two great locomotives. painting and
putting like straining beasts. tugged bis
heavy train steadily southwark toward
San Francisco over the mountain passes
Of northern California, the middle stages
of an unbroken thirty-four hour Journey
from Portland to the Golden Gate.
As he sat for hours at a time upon

Mayflower vistas of loveliness and no
bility unfolded and retreated- His

threads of silver glinting in the sun

past like marching elephants with heads
bent to earth and far TO the south the

lows of pine forests that have evaded

glance penetrated for amazing distances

where men in mackinacs and laced boots
waved greeting from four and six horse
| wagons stacked high with fir and red

| groups of a few hundred eager eyed
| highlanders FASTENED to manifest their
respect for their President; took him
| around the extraordinary circling OF
| switchbacks wherein both ends of the
| long train were clearly visible to those
| in the middle cars; lifted him over a
| pass $500 feet above the sea, and in

the ever changing panoramas of this
region of magnificent distances.

him a fine, fat buck of six points, whose
weight will run to IT'S pounds. They
tied a bow of red, white and blue rib

to feed a President, and sent the game
warden with the gift to signify that the

south the people of Grants Pass heard
by telegraph of this contribution, and
not to be outdone by the Inconsistencies
of Glendale, shot an eight pointer be
