As a number of my friends have written me, asking for a description of my summer’s outing I will give it by the editor’s permission, through the col- umus of our dear old home paper, whose visiis we are eager to receive. | In July, 1902, Mr. Beachey and Mr. Keim, in company with the manager of the Chicago Lumber Co., of this place, left Esbon by a northwesterly route to the coast, leaving Robert with an as- sistant in charge of the bank, and giv- ing strict injunctions as to how daugh- ter and Ishould take care of the home, what to do in case of fire, to write them every day, and all the preliminar- ies of a man’s departure from home. Thinking we would be good, they left in the best of spirits. But as you ‘know, “The best 1aid schemes o’ mice and men gang aft aglee” When we | fuund ourselves getting lonely we de- cided fo forget our obligations and go | to meet them, and on the evening of | August 1st we donned our best bibs | and tuckers and bid Esbon friends | adieu to hie for the mountains in pur- suit of health and pleasure. The latter | we were certain to have, we thought ,as we boarded the train and found some very genial ladies who were also pleas- ure seekers, and bound as we were for Colorado Springs and Manitou. We mused long upon the way, as the train was four hours late in entering Colorado Springs. The sights were new, and the sage brush was dotted here and there o’er the fields, as we neared for the first time the stupendous peaks of the Rockies. How bold, and almost bare, they looked in comparison to those of the Alleghenies, which in’ summer are covered with beautiful verdure. We are now along tbe foot hills of Pike’s Peak, and the distance, though six miles away, appears like a ten- minutes walk. On entering the city, and in view of the depot, your eyes rest upon the magnificent Antlers ho- tel, of which you have all heard. Tt is restful to the eye to gaze upen that lawn, and saunter under the shade of the beautiful trees, and view the How- ers. Every specie of cacti and palm known to the writer is seen upon the court. We spent bat a few days in this beautiful city, as we wanted to enjoy lige-giving ozone of the mountains, and drink the draughts from the famous springs at Manitou. Here are the Ute Iron springs, the Soda and Sulphur springs within a radius of one mile. We queried a physician as to which would be most beneficial to drink. Though not ill, we felt in a few weeks so im- proved, and a renewed, sublime, invig- orated tingle in our veins which per- fect health alone affords. How thank- ful we should be that we have in our country, climate and water where thousands of invalids go and are heal- ed of the many dire diseases that in- fest the human body! Another pleasant feature in the TU. S. A., where ever you may go, you find plenty of people who speak the English language. In all other countries, T am told, if you travel a hundred miles, or even less, you will find different lan- guages or dialects spoken. On our first day at Manitou after be- being comfortably domiciled beside a winding stream along a steep moun- tain, we heard among the peels of thunder a terrible crash and cracking of timber amidst shrieks and cries, and on looking out the window where we had full view, we saw what looked like an avalanche, for there had been a cloud burst up the stream about ten miles. The water sweeping everything in the way, soon filled the narrow banks of the stream to overflowing, our lives the horrors a flood brings. A few person, horses and carriages were overtaken by the flood, but rescued without loss of life. Others who were tenting along the stream fled for their lives. Many houses were flooded and the bath houses demolished for the sea- son, and it took weeks te remove the debris from the parks and river banks. We found the rambles around Mani- tou remarkably varied and of never- failing interest and attraction. I will note a few of them. The first of which was our visit to Cheyenne Canon, which impressed us as being the grand- est natural scenery ever witnessed. After driving some distance you view the Seven Falls. Here you make an ascent of 420 steps on a narrow stair- way, from which you can view the spot where Helen Hunt received inspiration in her writings, and where she request- ed her remains should be placed. Her husband having since had them re- moved, there remains only a pile of stones to mark the spot. WONDERS OF THE MOUNTAINS. | Williams Canon,is a most picturesque tirely different, and with th . interesting gorge sand contains | and a number of curious caverns, the most | wonderful of these being the Cave of I the Winds. There are guides in readi- ness with lights to show you all points of interest. One that I now recall, and | there are many more, was the Bridal y 3 Chamber. The entire room was of crystal-like formation, and the bride in veil, plain to be seen. There were also stalactites, which, when struck, sound- ed like some sweet unknown instru- ment. As we neared the Garden of the Gods, we tired of the drives, and seeing so many ladies, regardless of age, riding merrily along on the burros,we thought our experience would be incomplete without a ride on one of these Colora- do climbers, so we donned the Mexican hats and duck skirts and rode merily on with the guide and others in the party. One could see plainly objects in the rock which the guide pointed | out, rocks that were mushroom shaped, bear and seal rock, cathedral spires 500 feet high, and many other objects. At the noted Balanced Rock we urg- | ed the burros up the steps, and seated on these graceful animals, our beauti- ful portraits are brought to view. Suf- fice it to say we were delivered on our return trip safely, but soundly brusied, and would not take a great deal forour experience. ; I will say nothing of Pike’s Peak, as every school girl and boy knows some- thing of that and its weird scenic at- tractions. I'now bid adieu to scenes and friends in Manitou, as my husband has made his return trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he wired me to meet him. Daughter and her husband spent a few weeks together in Manitou, and then returned from a very enjoyable and interesting trip, having learned what they could never have learned from books. On my trip to Salt Lake I beheld towering monuments of solid stone,and I sat gazing in wonder and admiration at the matchless panorama afforded by rocky wall and rushing river along these wnoderful canons. The greatest wonder to the traveler is The Moun- tain of the Holy Cross. A perfect cross rising high above all din of earth- ly strife, a snow white banner of the Christian faith.where lier eternal snow. Rising high above those about it, it truly appears “a sign set in the heav- ens.” At the sight of The Royal Gorge my imagination was staggered, and my mind unable to comprehend the sub- limity of the scene. Glenwood Springs is a delightful health resort where over one million dollars have been spent on the grounds. The water in the Hot Springs is as salt as the ocean. Many other noted points were pass- ed, but I hasten through the desert, passing by the great sand mounds that resembled mountains, and enter into the city that was once the den of Mor- monism, the place where once no one save the “meek and lowly followers” of the prophets Joseph Smith, and Brig- ham Young. could utter a word against their religion, without having their lives placed in jeopardy. Now, spires from Christian churches throughout the city greet you. Here in Salt Lake the joy that filled my heart, and the warm embrace received on meeting my own kinsfolk—our nephew, District Attor- ney Eichnor, his wife, little daughter and son—was one of my most happy re- alizations. She and her sister, Mrs. Dryden, left my side in Salisbury, in childhood, when I almost worshipped them and their little brother Chris, who died a few years ago. No time was lost by the Eichnors to show us the sights in and about this beautiful “city of trees.” One of the first sights, of course, was to show the Temple and great Taber- nacle, built by Brigham Young. Inthe Tabernacle we saw the beautiful grand daughter, who is being educated abroad, and heard her sing a number of very fine solos. Also saw his third wife, Lucy Young. This recital was given in honor of the Elks, who were holding their carnival in the city at that time. Another was given in honor of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. The Indians seemed to enjoy it, showing greatest respeet and appreciation. Among ‘the. houses built by Brigham Young for his many wives were the Bee Hive, the Lyon House and Amelia Palace, built for his favorite wife, and named for her, We enjoyed the baths in the Great Salt Lake very much, and as the water is strong enough to carry a potato, we had no trouble learning to float, and the baths are very invigorating. Train- loads of people come and go from there continually. Another noted place is the Warm Spring bath house, where the water flows out the mountain too hot for the touch. This water is en- of salt and pepper tastes similar to chicken broth. 902. e a NOTICE! | Fort Douglas being a delightful trol- | A Change in Business at The Star ley ride from the city, we paid frequent | visits to that point and viewed with | pride the boys in blue unfurl the Stars and Stripes and witness the sham bat- tles they fought. After visiting numbers pleasant points, we went to Logan Utah, to visit our nephew, Prof. James Dryden, wife-and children, who visited summer of 1901. Prof. Dryden has charge of the different departments of the State Agricultural College in that place. They teach everything, even down to the culinary art, where I be- lieve I was most interested. They raise fine crops by the irrigation sys- tem, and the sugar beet industry is fast growing in favor. It is a very rich valley indeed. We spent a number of very pleasant days picnicing in the canons along the fresh water streams, fishing for trout, and building camp fires, and listening to the huntsman’s’story of adventure with mountain lions, ete. Having groups of the different picnics, with the tables groaning with fried chicken, roast duck and luscious fruits, to say nothing of the deligntful scenery,brings it all vividly before us. Prof. Dryden entertained our party and 6thers at his home one evening by showing numbers of stereopticon views, many of which. were taken from col- lege life, among professors and stu- dents. which made it very interesting, and to our surprise also produced our recent escapades in a very funny man- ner, as he is known as the “Bill Nye” of the college. We were invited by Mr. Don Magnoir and wife, of Ogden, the state minerolo- gist,to accompany them to a gold mine in which they were interested. We climbed for miles up the mountain, along the cliffs and great basins, hear- ing the eaglets in their nests, passed the raw places of the great snow slides, at last arriving at the opening of the mine, where there was said to be seven hundred feet of mountain over our heads. We took the pick from the swarthy hands of the miners and dug our own specimens for souvenirs. The miners were very genial, whole-souled fellows, and we were invited to dine in camp with them, so spread our lunch with their delicious hot bread and fine coffee and tea. It was a case where meat fried at the edges till it curled needed but one sauce—hunger. We learned the fascination of pros- pecting as we climbed along, picking the various stones from the hills, with their properties of gold, copper, silver and lead. I feel quite proud of the number of rubies, topaz and chlorn- talites presented me on that trip. After our descent from the mountain we refreshed ourselves by a bath in the rooms of the Great Hot Springs of Og- den. The water is said to contain enough salt to season a pot of meat or potatoes perfectly, as it flows steaming from the mountain. The Mormon religion predominates in Logan, as it is handed down to the posterity of the old settlers. But we felt to rejoice all the more when we saw ’midst the struggles of the Chris- tian people that they succeeded in erect- ing a handsome protestant
