Arizona, the Ever-Blooming Flow* 2 Lakes of Utah, the Gorgeous Q= na* 3I0C3?" By Mrs. Cha (Written for (Concluded from last week) On the seventh day just before going out in the city for a "sightseeing" trip we saw Smith go up in his aeroplane. He looped the loop and did other aerial stunts Our first visit was to the Presidio Roahmrnfinn whom \vn Qn\V Fort Point and Fort Winifred Scott. Presidio Reservation covers 1100 acres of territory. There were houses on some paTts of the coast, that extended out into the bay. The houses contained mines and were placed out there in case of war. While there we saw the "Golden Gate" called this because of the fact that it greatly resembles the Constantinople Golden Horn. The bay washes one side of the city and the ocean the other, and this Golden Gate connects the two and forms the northern boundary. We saw the sunset at the Golden Gate which was beautiful. Sun rises on one side and sets on the other. At Fort Scott there were great big guns stationed on the bank facing the bay. The soldiers were seen practicing. Nearby was the Post Guard barracks and the Alcatroy prison; also an immense golf court where sham battles arc had. We next traveled through the Richmond district, which covers onefourth of San Francisco; then on by the Sutro Heights to the Cliff House. Ouc from the ClilT House could be seen a large rock, which had quite a number of seals on it. These seals were protected by the Government. Near the Cliff House was an old ship, _ the first that ever sailed to San Francisco around the Northern Passage. We went through Golden Gate Park. ?l:_l i 1 1 r?n l nt.fl Ji | wnii*u nas ajlw utius wi iuiiu in While there we stopped by one of the nurseries and saw lots of pretty dowers. There was quite a pood deal of Cecil Hemp to be seen. This hemp is used to make ropes. It has to be mashed and rolled and after going through the various processes, is ready for use. Wo stopped by the old Mission j church of San Francisco. There we | saw the grave of Hon Louis Antonio | Arguello, who was the first High Governor of San Francisco under the the Mexican Government. He died in 18.10. After having lunch in the city we went out to China town. There we went through many cur:o stores, then our guide took us around the little city. We reached a music master's studio, and upon going down a flight of steps, we found him there realv and ; willing to play us a few pieces on his J various instruments. We saw the telje^hone exchange, which was operated j by Chinese girls?the only one owned by the American people that is rui by the Chinese. We were taken to see a private family, in order that we might become bptter acquainted with - their mode of living. There was the mother and her three children, also the grandmother to extend us a welcome. The mother and her oldest daughter were sewing buttons on some shirts which they had gotten from a factory, which paid about ten cents for a dozen. The two small children sang and recited for us. Their mode of living did not appeal to me at all, and they were what" I would term "poor housekeepers." Their beds were made like large shelves, havfig a lower and top berth, with no sign of a mattress, just merely a pillow and some quilts. This family, however, were of the poorer class, and we cannot judge their whole race by them. We went in one of the drug stores and while there met one of the Chinese doctors. We were shown two small boxes of ginseng, costing $7,000. This medicine is used for most any kind of disease. San Francisco has a population of 530,000. She enjoys but two seasons, winter and summer being left out of the calendar. Spring begins in November and continues to April, when | autumn commences and rounds out the ' year. It never gets very cold, neither does it (ret very hot. This accounts I for the lovely display of flowers, trees ' ( and vegetation which they have the I year round; however, there was not as : pretty a display as l.os Angeles had to oner. We loft San Francisco on the 12th. i After our arrival at the Union For- : ry Building, wo boarded the Western; i Pacific ferry for the transfer ride I! j across San Francisco Hay to a town J i named Oakland, l'rotn there we went . 1 jby railway to Ogdon, reaching there jat 7 o'clock that night. After hav- 1 Iing a further wait there we loft for | Salt Lake City, arriving there at 12 < -pacific exposition i of the World-Famed reat Mississippi River ssert Lands of New Mexico and srs of California, the Great Salt intalns and Canons of Colorado s. b. Counts K m/m?mm mnr The Times) o'clock midnight, and went direct our rooms at the Hotel Utah. Ji before reaching Ogden we had 1 unique experience of being carried rectly across Great Salt Lake on trestle thirty-four miles long. T trip across the Lake was a beauti sight. The sun was brightly bea ing at first and then gradually sa behind the horizon, making a disp] of various colors, each and every c being reflected in the smooth qu waters. This lake is 100 miles lo and ir. places 60 miles wide, and fr one to fifteen feet deep. It is times as salty as the ocean. The s' face is flat, with the whiteness hard packed snow. The next day, after having brej fast, we hired an auto and went or sight-seeing expedition. Salt Lake City has a population 92,777 or more. The tallest buildi was twenty stories high. It took years for this building to be built, I the stones were hauled from a di ance, and the only means of hauli was by using oxen, which were v< scarce at the time of the erect1 of this building. We took a sight seeing trip throu the city. We first saw the Imi gration Pass, ofT in a distance, 1 tween two mountains. On the 24th July, IS 17, one hundred and for three men, three women, and two cl dren crossed the barren lands to mi their home there. Only one ce< tree was seen at that time, but uf steady work and perseverance, tl soon had the Great Salt Lake off | one side, the land well drained, a trees planted everywhere. The M Jmon religion was soon established, which Joseph Smith was the origii tor. These Mormon pioneers w< from Illinois. Smith was killed Missouri. Ringham Young was a a great leader. We saw a grist n that he built in 1852. He was kno i to have -had 19 wives and 56 childr I We sa\^. Ahe graves of three of 1 wives d children, also his gri , which was near. There was a lar [ flat stone over his grave that weigh [six tons. Smith also had quite numbeb of wives. It was said th< was known no jealousy among th< wives. When the Government pass the law in 1890 prohibiting more th one wife, there was electee a Govei ment home for the ditcardc d ones, 1 only one applied. We saw the remains of an old w which had beer mod around the ci nine miles around at that timeprotect the inhabitants from the 1 dians. There was also Ensign Pa where the first flag was planted. \ went through Liberty Park, whi consists of 100 acres. There wc many \:trieties of trees to he se< also flowers and animals. The ci has spent $100,000 on play proun for the children. We saw Wasat mountains, the tallest one around t city, which is 12,680 feet high. ^ saw the quaint little cottape whc Maude Adams was horn, also Soc Hall where she first appeared on t stape. Within the city is Temple Squa" which contains the chief Morm buildinps. The Temple, the Taherr cle, and the Assembly Hall. We we in the Tabernacle at noon and hea the orpan recital piven by the i mous player, McClellan. This orp had over 5,000 pipes of various siz< and there is not a tone that c be made by the human voice that c not also be made by this orpan. O would think there was a wonderful trained choir in the hack somcwhei unless told otherwise. There could heard all manner of voices, ranpii from the soprano to the bass. T1 orpan is said to be one of the fine in the world. The Mormon Temf was a lovely sipht, and showed ms velous workmanship. Each block this buildinp was hauled4 by oxen f forty miles. Only marriapes and ha tisms were performed in this huildin and 01 !y those of Rood standinR. I one was allowed to jro or look insi unless their record had heen spotle< To hear and read of their rclijrii is quit" a treat to anyone? and all could be known of them the Would not be so much criticism on h half of others. There are no hett nor more whole-hearted people to found anywhere than these Mormoi Adjacent to the Square are the He hive and Lion House, and the Admi istration offices, formerly the qua lers of Bingham Youiir. the Tropin After leavinR Salt Lake City \ went direct to Maniton, Colorado. V passed many coaf mines, saw name his cattle and suRar beet farms, j till | )on jThis peak, which is 14,109 feet high, icy lis reached by what is called the Cog ^ to Wheel Road. The coaches preceed F ind the locomotives on the ascent, and ^ or- follow them in the descent, thus being r of always protected by the latter. Pike's P ia- Peak is divided into fi\\> zones. The t jre Austral zone, the Transition zone, v in where there are numerous trees and 11 lso shrubs; Canadian zone and Hudsonian 0 till zone, also have trees and shrubbery. d wn but are smaller as the summit of the * en. peak is neared. Lastly, there is the c his Alpine z6ne, where there are no tree4, 0 ive or vegetables, but many small mout?p ge tain flowers are seen. We passed six 0 led stations on the way up. am rhree u a water tanks, and a printing office Jre where our names were taken?and the Jse paper was sold for ten cents as we P led descended. On top of the peak, 11 nn [among the big rocks and snow was r' Summit Hofel, which had a steel tow- 11 >ut er attached where one could go and ? get a better view of the surrounding country. Within the hotel was a '' ty, Western Union office?the highest tel- r -to egraph station in the world. A pecu- r liar feeling went over me as I neared ? '"k? the top?I was almost deaf?and was S( Ve rather dizzy?but after walking around awhile 1 soon overcame both. I*re There have been cases where people 11 ?n? with weak hearts were known to be'ty come unconscious. w d-s Our trip through the Cave of Winds eh was a nleasant one. This cavo woe ?> he discovered in 1880. There are many C1 marvellous works of nature to be e >re seen. In Majestic Hall there were * ' 'al numerous stalactites and stalagmites c< he formed from the constant drops of water which contained certain mineral re, matter. In what is known as Huron tain Hall, there were various colors ia- to be soen on The bipr smooth rock, l nt which resembled a curtain, rd We went out to the Garden of the 'a- Gods?riding the cunning burros, and an seeing the wonderful formations of rock. Among the number was the ( an Three Graces, Mushroom Rocks, an Steamboat Rock and the Balanced ne Rock. It seems almost impossible 11 y that such rocks could be left standing re, up in the middle of the Garden withbe out falling over with the least gu-h of r>g wind. lis Our trip to Cripple Creek, a lit tie ist city built on the top of a mountain, >le was a lovely treat to us. This "ity is ir- noted for its gold mines. The train in wound in and out among the monnor tains, ever climbing upward. We p- would go into a tunnel and presently ig, emerge at a point which seemed to STo be direcMy above the place where we de had entered. After spending about a *s. week and a half in Maniton we next' on journeyed to Denver, if Denver his a population of 212,281. re On our sightseeing trip we saw many ie- points of interest. Among the numer:ber was T.ookout Mountain, which is be|7,512 feet above the sea. On our is. I twenty-mile ride over the Mountain e-jTop we passed through Bergen and 11-| Gennessee Parks on to Troutdale. r-| where we bad lunch. On our return t. trip through the Rocky Mountain re- w v i gion, we went through Bear Creek H fe! Canyon, then Evergreen, The Park o'" a r- ] the Red Rocks, Morrison, Fort l.ocm, n< \t|Speer Boulevard and South Denver. h< Red ClifT we saw the Mount of the I S Holy Cross, which pot its name be- ? cause there is snow the year round '' b on top of this mountain?that is m ^ the shape of a cross. After leavinp r Passado we went throuph a tunnel a ^ Q half mile lonp at tho crest of Ten- j ? ncssee Pass, 10,210 feet aloft, thouph r the Pacific slone was ehanped for the q Atlantic. This is the top of the Continental Divide. At Malta, to the ' , north of us, was seen Mt. Massine, a 2. 14,424 feet, the hiphest peak in the ?*1 State of Colorado. At Malta we saw ^ the bepinninp of the preat Arkansas river, which was followed for 150 ^ t? miles to Pueblo. At Texas Creek, we s ,s* came into the bepinninp of the Grand Canyon, of the Arkansas. An obser- a d|_ vation car was attached here. This j a Canyon is ten miles lonp, and follows ^ the Arkansas river from the hiph ^ country to the lower. There is scarce r rn" space between wall and river for the ^ ,r,k sinple track. The narrowest passape 'a^ is called the Royal Gorpe. At one y >.ne point?the Hanpinp Bridpe?the t ie^ width is but ten yards, and the road ^ bed has been built out over the water. om The river boils madly throuph; the en- ^ S1X pine sways now to the ripht, now to ^ the left, drappinp the train. The red t pranite walls, sparklinp with mica, ^ tower aloft on either hand, 2,627 feet, v the sky is a thread, almost lost from view by the japped ramparts. oj. After passing Florence there were seen magnificent farms and orchards. 42 This town boasts of a large oil re- ^ as finery. Finally we passed through st_ Pueblo, then on to Colorado Springs, where we got on the street car and ?ry went out to Maniton. ion The population of Maniton is 357. This town is called the Saratoga of the West. It is at the entrance of the Garden of the Gods. There are numbe_ erous mineral springs and such wonnf ders to be seen as the Cave of the ty_ Winds, Cheyenne Canyon, and the , lil- w?rld famous Pike's Peak. Pike's * ike r*eak was discovered by Major Zobu1~.. Inn M Pik'fl nil Wnuomlinr 15* t was interesting to watch the men ut in the small streams near Troutale, hunting for gold among the pebles. The fishing parties in Hear, 'reek Region were numerous. The oad wouiul around the mountains, allowing Bear Creek for miles, n some places the roads were so narow it seemed almost impossible to g? ver them, and there was always ;reat danger in passing other vehicles r running into them while winding round the mountain side. We visited the U. S. Mint building nd saw the numerous processes that /ere undergone in making silver coin. Ipon entering we went up a flight of teps, then went on a little balcony /here we could watch the work from bove. We saw the Public Library, )enver University, the beautiful lomes out on Capital Hill, and went hrough the City Park, also the 'heesman Park, and numerous other luildings and places of interest. Upon our arrival in St. Louis we fere fortunate to meet about four of he home boys?also a couple from lome. After taking in the city, we oon were homeward bound, feeling ully repaid for both the time and exiense in seeing the wonderful counury west of the great old Mississippi.

Vo ^ews From Soldier Means That He is Safe Although the failure t^ receive leters from men in the service is not ileasant to relatives and friends at tome the adage "no news is good lews" never was more true than at iresent. The report of every casualy at home or abroad is immediately fired or cabled to officials at Washington, being relayed from there with>ut loss of time to the emergency adress of the soldier or sailor affected, t is also at once released for publiation in the newspapers. No news ^ f casualties has or will be held up. ^|jH| No man in the service has received rders not to write home; he has been rged, on the contrary, to keep in ouch with relatives and friends. The orces in France have at their disiosal post cards giving general inforoation in regard to health and the eceipt of letters and parcels, which nay be dispatched without payment f postage. Care is also taken to see that mail ntended for soldiers and sailors eaches them promptly. Where the egimental and company designation f a soldier is not known it may be scured by application to The Adjudnt General's Office, Washington, ). C. In one week 1,074 letters with lsufficient addresses were received at his office. On 1,2112 the addresses 'ere completed and they were forwarded, 123 were returned to senders, 8 went to th dead-letter office beause sendrs' addresses were not givn, and the balance were held with he view that the addressss might be impleted later.
