In evidence, until we come to the rice,

We spent Several days at Denver,
which isa, beautiful City with exten-
sive parks and richt, public buildings,
large and extensive tores and ,beautie
ul horres, many of which I Would. like
to describe, but will not tet account
ef space. Mrs. Lake and iI desired n
day of mountain climbing, so, selecting
one clear rrorning, we took our lunch,
went to Golden, in the toot, hills, sel-
ected the highest one .we could see_
"within, reach and, after travelling all
foremen up -gorges, over reeke, follow--
ing paths and ledges, we reached the
top about one per,. From there the view
was beautiful. With ou,r glaSst one could
see for about 100 relies in any direc-
tion. To the East we overlooked 'the
city' of Denver, the foot hills and the
plains for miles dotted here and: .there
strith a shining lake and its level sur-
rey:a marked by long lines represent-
ing roads or rivere. To the Soutn the
snow covered summit of Pike's Peak
shone in the noon day sun like e.
great jagged bank of! snow. To the
West and North were the Spanish
peaks. Mt. Gray, Mt. Lang and others
a,pp.eared the same way, while beneath
us were gorges half a mile deep, whose
sides were insurmountable. A storm,
hovered berme -Us in one of the val-
leys end the reflection of the san on

dawn on the mountain.. side where the
sun haa melted the snow from •the
rocks and ate our luncheon, afterwhich
we started 'back. We found the trip,
&own as hard .as the climb and, after
descending for about three- and a half
hours we reacbed Golden and were
surprised to learn we had walked about
fifteen miles. We did not travel that
fat newt day, hoviever.
Leaving Denver we followed the Toot
hills to CaIoraclo Springs, which is a
beautiful city, modern and clean with
wide etteets aed up-to-date business
plae.es. We went through ,South Chey-
enne Canon to Seven Falls. In .th1.3

the eolid, rook rises erpendicularly for
over 1,000, feet and blends its tap with

colors •and shapes, over which a river
descends in seven leans to the -bottom,
\Mph is as level as the floor,' Manitou
and; the Garden Of the Gods are beau-
tiful, but I will not .describe thernhere.
From there we ;went to Canon city,
a beautiful city of about 8,000, situat-
ed sit the entrance of -the Royal Gorge
and spent a day with Kiss Blanche
Clatyp and -Miss Isabel Powers cif Grand
itaptds, Our visiit there was delightful
and we enjoyed it very much. We vis-
ited., the State prison, which is inter-
esting. It is the prison that sends its
convicts oat to work upon the high-
ways and, passing through the Royal
Gorge and the mountains beyond, we
witnessed rrany camps ,working upon.
he Lincoln Highway at State expense
and under State supervision. These con -
lets -eleven came present comprise"

Leaving Canon City .we had -a beau-
tiful trip through the Royal Gorge, a-
long the Arkansas, through the moure,
tains over Tennessee pa -ss , with its ele-
vation_ of. two miles. The next fore-
noon on our deseent into Utith was
the same. Great mountains cov-
ered wlth snow were to be seen " ev-
ery direction and from them .we su,d-
deSrly emerged Into the beautiful and
fertile valley of Salt Lake. Salt Lake
City , is a beaatiful 'place, about the
size Of Grand Rapile. We were 'shown
throu,gh the Mormon buildings, attend-
ed one at their services and took te
trip around the city, nna of 'which
shoutd be misse4 by the,slgnleeee., The
Mormon church mingles ith -every-
tinng from business to polit .and they
have made this aril and: desert valley
a beauty epee All the streets of Salt
Lake are 400 feet from curb to curb
and are handsome aha; well kept. Their
church store employes 600 clerks and
does ;6,000,000 business annually.
From Salt Lake until we crossed the
Ste.rias into California, we followed val-
leys alrrost as level as a floor, which
were flanked. by low ranges ein either
*side. The Andy vegetation to be seen
Is cactus, sage bush and the Spanish
dagger. A hovel here and there told
.where a settler was striving for his
existence. Our -train did not stop- be-
tween Salt Lake' and Los Angeles, ex-.
capt for coal and water, and our only
excitement was teased by a Mexican
who rode the trucks out of Salt ,Lake
and, e.t.night climbed upon the express
car, cut out the ventilator and 'ran-
eacked or.durrpedt off what he desired.
Mien the expressman accidentally en-
tered the car near a watering *place,
the intruder left it, followed by (the.
train crew ,andepessertgers, „but made
good his' escape in the cactus. k
From, the Sierras we decend rapidly
into the orange groves of Southera
Wit -pinta. The dislike you have form-
ed by the wasteful arid Goad you have
visaed ls instantly removed by toe
beauty of the surroundings. Thethriv-
ing cities are beautiful and unique to
tthe Eastener, as their lines of arch-
itecture are along the old Moorish or
Spanish type and, the fragrance of th• e
orange blossoms and TOMO are every-
where. A beautiful ride of two hours
through such a country brought is to
LOS Angeles, a city of _nearly 300,000
people and the conunerolal center et
Southern California. It is a beantifut
plane and has stores mare in keeping
with a place seven- times its size. In
tact, business is sex greatly overdone
-Red stores are so much greater than
necessary that the ,Trerceattile business.
Is a losing game. ,The streets' here are
narrow and it is hard to handle the
crowds. We alga visited • 14011g Beiletif
is a beautiful suburb on the
ocean, and Pasadena, ,the home of
wealthy, and it. is a -sight toseethe
flowers here."'Renes coverthe porches,
house sides; garages, fences end, in
fact, grow everywhere; not the low
kind we have East, but great climb-
ing Vinethat rettete to the thiit of the
,second etoey and are Just -covered, weth
flowers of various sizes and color and
that blossom throughout the year.
Front Leo Angelea we went to San
;Diego, aboet 125 /riles southeast. The
first half of the distance was through
the Orange, walnut and ahroad -grovez
and the last half is almost a waste
through leek of water for Irrigation,
but vehbee motonony Is broken by a
ride elbeig the eh'ores of elle Pacific.
'San Dieis a nice place, located, on
a „spacious harbor of the same name.
It has good and substantial building,
but' it lacks the beauty of its Northern
neighbors, although its histories,' In-
terest far surpasses them. ,It was here
the early missionaries established their
first missions and mant of the tuild-
Inge are standing to -day. Their history,
old paintings, etc„ should not be over-
looked by the tourtst, as they are very
interesting. it was here that John C.
Frerront first raised the U. S. flae
and a monument marks the place where
It wasL raised. • •
The Sari Diegq exposition is now In
f ull Swing, but the crowds are srr.6.11.
1 da not believe the attendance reach-
ed 3,000 people the day we were there.
The grounds and buildings are beau-
tiful and are of the old .Moorishtarcia-
itecturen There are ananionn Pillared
eoerts and peroglaS, covered with tro-
tneal 'vegetation, flowers, .etc. The d13 -
play is not full, but it le worth seeing.
Japan has a full display, but it ,repre-
whet most of the foreign Wt. -sole -Y. Cal-
ifornia is well•erepresentecl by several
buildings filled with a fine display of
its products. I would ;advise any East-
ern person visiting the Coast to take
in ate fair and it mint tee said in
credit to its management thee no at-
tempts are made at hold-up on the
grounds and even the hotels are rea-
sonable whit rooms and meals. In fact,'
I Ita.ve seen no indicatichs of hold-ups
here in eny city we have yet visited.
We have' not yet reached: San Francis-
co and it la my impression where such
is the case it is of one% own choice,
as it certainly is not ,necessary.
We are now eJt Fresno, in ;the South-
ern put of Ithe San Joaquin 'Valley.
It iS a. thriving plaice of '40,000 people
and the center of the. raisin growing
section -,1 We have _been out ,by auto in
nearly every direction for about twenty
miles or Sirt,Ite foot hills and it 19
Safe to say- that from 60 and 75 per
cent. of the land Is coveted with Vine-
yards and the remainder with oliter,
peach, apricot, and orange groves. Tills

enty-five wide and „IS the best part of

all irrigated a.nd, they have plenty of
water, which` is :not true with the •ret
nealieder of the West. The irrigation
ditches run everywhere and are from
a foet or two tip to thirty orterty
feet 'wide. They have built Us& valley
up front a,rld condition with'ciat a
tree to a perfect garden, level as a

ply assures them of a never failing
crop and they employ thousands of men
and their products find: a market eh

tribute to the batIde Of man. „
What seems tie me as the most se-
rious setback in the West is the ' way
real estate le hoorneel. You cannot find
a !county, eity !or village- but is ready
• to flood you with its literature. Every
real estate office has its pet scherrna
tee filleting lots or building Wee. g
taa far out for lots, they boom half
acre or acre t.reets as small suburban
hoine sites. Land is high there and runs
as expensive as $1,000 to, J1.600 per
acre for Orange groves and: as high
as $600 to *700 foe vineyards. Consider-
ing the low .prke of oranges and th
heavy investment, I cannot see how it
