from the freedom and the spacious
ness q earlier times, but he still has
his place, and it isn't only in the
roaring. tumbling excitement Of the
rodeo with the shows that made men
like Buffalo Bill and Will Rogers and
girls like Annie Oakley and Prairie
Rose Henderson.
THIS is a good place to linger, but
there's a lot of country ahead.
We mount steeply and realize with
a shock of pleasure that these are
mountains indeed confronting us.
Their heads bear the crown of the
immutable SHOWS. They are the
gigantic piling masses of the Northern
Rockies, and We are climbing up and
over the backbone of the Continent.
Within their uptilted strata is the
wonderland of the national parks,
noble Rocky Mountain, curious, &C.
centric Yellowstone, heartrendingly
beautiful Teton, breathless Glacier
and all their tremendous sisterhood
whose friendly gates the Federal Gov
ernment opens to us each year.
Libraries are full of books about this
land and We must compress it into
sentences. Over the trail of the Nor

Salt Lake City, with the crusted shores
of the lake itself beyond. No pause
now, but on like an arrow across the
amazing body of water-this dead sea
that will one day be as dry as the
