Los Anqeles to Gardiner

Readers of the Journal are follow
ing with interest the progress of Fred
E. Scott of Pittston, who last fall left
Gardiner for California and is now
making the return journey in the
same car he crossed the continent in
the fall. His last letter was written
in the Grand Canon of the Colorado
while he was waiting for repairs so
miles from the nearest town.
After getting repaired at the canon
we left on May >. All through Arizo-
ma we found bad roads and an unlim-
tied quantity of dust, sand and ruts.
The state is real desert to pass
through. We went through one gold
mining town and then the next was
entirely deserted which was, at the
time they We're getting gold in paying
quantities, prosperous. We went into
the cliffs of Arizona, where the cliff
jewellers used to live hundreds of
years ago, and viewed the ruins with
much interest.
From Arizona we entered New Mex
ice and have been riding for two and
one-half days through country where
the people are Indians and Mexicans.
We are now at the Harris Ranch in
the Rockies of New Mexico. The In
dams come out and stop us to sell
their trinkets. New Mexico is more
or less barren in the part we have been
passing through. In some portions of
the State the Indians are doing quote
lot of farming and have considerable

they have irrigation.
Albuquerque was the first large
place we reached since leaving Cali
fornia. 1t is the largest city in the
state and is a clean, rather nice city.
Most of the street cars and buses
arc run by women as drivers and co..
ductors. This looked extremely odd
to me. as l never ran up against any
thing like it in my travels before.
Il have only one man with me now,
as the other chap got short of money
and left us at Holbrook, expecting to
beat lis way through to Kansas City.
l was to take him with the under
standing that he pay for his food a
part of the way. l gave him a little
money and lie skipped out.
Il want to mention one place we
passed through-Santa t'e, New Mex
leo. 1t has a popula ton of 5000 and
is $3.50 feet above sea level. 1t is the
center of the most interesting 50-mile
square of ny state in the Union. 1t
