I:As A NEW SCENIC MARVEL.


EInNiS I utOil To NNDlCFIlfas
The Rock Islands latest folder con-
tairs 4 remarkable colored picture of
California's newest scenic marvel. the
Carriso Gorge. on the new san Diego
short lire over which the thru service
of the Golden state route is operated.
The picture is not only something of
a departure in adoption of printers
art hut it is attracting much attention
for tho reason that it represents new
route to California. the shortest serV-
ice route by many miles from Chi
a@o. lower Missouri river cities and
tributary territory to San Diego.
The most fertile sections of the I'm
pcrial valley are also covered by this
now line.
Cnrriso Gorge takes its name from
the grass in it's depths. which is used
by Indians in basket work. The
gorge is in the southerly extension of
the Sierra Nevada range and altho the
aximum elevation of the railroad
is only $500 feet. the views afforded
in tho eleven miles covered in the
pr ssage thru the gorge are stupendous.
The total cost of this stretch of
railroad was approximately $4,000 600
aid it's construction is considered one
oe the most remarkable feats in rail-
rood engineering in recent years.
The Rock Islands Golden State
service over this new route has all
rc1 dy become popular and it is an
ticinated that winter travel will be
quite heavy this season.

Mrs Theodore II. Westervclt, Author
of ..Thc Lure of the Leopard Skim

of .'Thc Lure of the Leopard Skim"
The country was in the war zone
and at that time the Germans were
constantly gaining British territory.
They We're able to secure passage on
boat going to India and not another
boat touched at Mombasa, the seaport
of British East Africa. for three
months after. for the port was in
quarantine for smallpox. After a
brief stay in Bombay, India, passage
was secured to China and from thence
to Nancouver, Canada. They reached
Chicago. June Z, 1915, thus compiet-
ing their trip around the world in
about eighteen months. but they were
eighteen months filled with rather
unusual experiences.
Mrs. WestoFyelt. who was formerly
Miss Josephine Hope, teacher in the
Topeka schools some years ago, went
to Africa in 1906. after resigning her
position here. Her mission work was
IN that part of Africa where Colonel
Roosevelt did his hunting and twice
did Miss Hope help to entertain him
there. He laid the cornerstone of the
Rift Valley academy of which Miss
Hope was the head, school for mis-
sionaries' and settlers children.
A letter from Colonel Roosevelt to
Mrs. Westervelt who was married in
1911. at Kijabe, British East Africa,
to the Rev Theodore Westeryelt, a
missionary IN the same ITlSSlOAs anu
coming from HackensacE. y. J.. under
the date OF December l, 1915, Says in
part:
Think of the buffalo being very
bothersome' in the gardens! That
must have been an exciting hunt; anc
congratu you about the leopard
1t sounded like old-times to learn that
the train had run into a giraffe and
was stopped for an hour in conse-
quence.% This was written from Oys-
ter Bay, Long Island, n. Y.
The reference TO the leopard was
concerning a leopard which the Rev
Mr.. Westervelt had trapped which
weighed ten pounds more than Rcose-
velts largest one and the measure
ment from tip to tip was eight feet
and ten inches. The Rev. Mr.. Wester-
welt afterward sold the skin for $3.50.
Mrs Westervelt has written book
called THE Lure of the Leopard
Skin" published by Fleming H Revell
of New York, which is Just out. This
is in fictionaI form but contains Incl
dents based upon facts in their own
lives, the lives of their friends. &C
uuaintances and fellow workers. 1t
is a thrilling pictures of life in tropi-
cal Africa with decidedly missionary
flavor and put together with a fssci-
mating thread of fiction.
Because of Mrs. Westervelts con-
tinued poor health. il is not expected
that they will return to Africa again,
at least for the present. Mr.. Wester-
Welt is at present an instructor in the
Lincoln junior high school They re-
side at GAG Shawnee avenue.

In December. 1915, a few months
after the great war commenced, Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore r. Westervelt and
their son Romeyn started on their re
turn to their mission work in Africa.
They sailed on the Lusitania, which
few months later met such a sad fate.
Many and varied were their expert
ences on this voyage. Because of the
effect of the tropics upon Mrs. Wester-
velt's health they were unable to re-
main in Africa more than fifteen
months this-~time, when it became
necessary to leave.

according TO O. B. Cutler, general
manager the Leavenworth & Topeka
had not as yet decided whether to
increase its motor car service but that
the proposition of adding a trailer to
the present motor car and the install
lation of a second car to handle eX-
press and perishable freight is still
under considerations. The freight
train on that line which is now operat-
ing daily except Sunday, will after
this week change to every other day
or three trips per week.
Two Missouri Pacific passenger
trains came within one foot of meeting
in a INSTRUMENTATION a few miles
south of Leavenworth a few days ago
This was the distance between the two
engines when they were brought to a
stop.
Eiks all over the country are still
talking about their trip to California
over the Santa Fe last summer, and
the 1000 meals served them by Fred
Harvey. There were sixteen special
trains of Elks, one of the heaviest
Unconstitutional passenger movements
ever scheduled by a single organiza-
ton. Every train reached its destina-
ton ON time, and there was not a
single accident.
The Chicago railroads are now re-
porting regularly to the Chicago Safety
council notable cases of reckless con-
duct by automobile drivers at railroad
crossings in that city and district. The
council at once communicates with the
person at fault in that way is at
tempting to reduce the number Of ac-
cidents. The council has estimated
that the total loss by accidents and
fires in the Chicago district in 1920
was twenty-five million dollars. The
YTo lie Of tho railroads
cooperating in the movement.
The Atchison Globe quotes a rail-
road man of that city as follows:
Three Topeka girls recently bummed
their way on a Central Branch freight
train from the Blue river bridge be-
tween Irving and Biglow, to Frank
fort. At Frankfort they were ar
rested. They said they were invited to
take an automobile ride by three To-
peka young men. When the automo-
bile had reached n point a few miles
north of Topeka, the young men made
bad proposals, and when the girls re-
fused the girls were compelled to get
out of the car. The girls then walked
to the Blue river bridge on the Cen
trail Branch, and there caught the
freight train. and rode the rods. The
girls said that as soon as they got to
Topeka. they would have the three
young men arrested. % !opeAd may
prepare for another scandal"
The Atchisen Globe rs also to blame
for this one: "a ira n was pulling out
of the Atchfson union depot the other
day. A young lady In a narrow bot
toned skirt came AROUND the corner of
the depot and began screaming for
the train TO stop. The conductor saw
her and stopped the train. but she
made such slow progress. on account
of her tight skirt. that he threatened
to give the engineer the signal to start
up again. But two young men
grabbed the young lady. drew her up
from the ground, and carried her $50
Yards, to the train. They were
strangers to her, but that didn't make
any difference, and she was apprecia-
tive"

BIG FRUIT MOVEMENT ON U. P.
Special Trains Being Run From North
west to Eastern Markets.

The Union Pacific is now engaged
extensively in moving a heavy fruit
crop from the northwestern states to
the eastern markets. The fruit in
cludes apples, pears, grapes and prunes
grown mostly in idaho, oregon, wash
ington and parts of California, terri
tory which is served directly by the
Union Pacific system
While the bulk of the movement is
confined to the main line which runs
thru Omaha, some ten or fifteen spe-
cial trains of the fruit have passed
thru Topeka during the past two
weeks, and one day this week the
Union Pacific received twenty cars for
Topeka. All of the fruit is handled in
refrigerator cars and is moved on pas
senger train schedule.
The acquisition recently of a short
line running from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles has been an important factor
in the Union Pacific getting large
share of the California fruit business,
local officials of the company say.
This line was taken over by the Union
Pacific about two months ago and is
now part of that system.
Potatoes have already commenced
to come in from the north, several car
loads having been received here this
week, Union Pacific officials report.

According to their agreement with

railroads will commence heating their
