J. BOYOR Sole ignt
Taliallrla No, 2.
In our first letter, we brought our
readers to the borders of Colorado,
but before passing, we might mention
that Kansas is supposed to be the bed
of what was once a great inland sea,
and geologists thus account for the
large deposits of salt, gypsum and
marble. In the soil too have been
found remains of elephants, rhinoc-
eroses, and other animals that are
now extinet, but whose skeletons
adorn the national museums,
At Trinidad wo meet one of the first
specimens of the many fixe stations of
the Santa Fe, of the "mission" style,
handsome indeed, and finished in
adobe. It is called "The Cardenas,"
after a Spanish captain of 1510, said to
be the first white man who saw the
Grand Canyon. SVe are now about
4,000 feet above the sea level, and are
entering the arid region, as evidenced
by the large excavations to serve as
reservoirs, and many irrigation ditch-
es. At Trinidad may be seen a, rocky
cliff, called Simpson's Rest, where
many years ago, a party of pioneers,
who were seeking homes in the far
west, were besieged by the Indians.
One of them named Silnpsori, escaped,
and before he died, he requested that
he might be buried on top of the cliff,
where a rude monument marks the
scene of a struggle of early pioneer
days. Trinidad is considered a good
place for consumptives to come, in
order to enjoy the clear Colorado at-
mosphere. There is a fine Sanitarium
located there. The city is the centro
of a large coal, coke and iron dis-
trict.
Having cut across the southeast cor-
ner of Colorado, at a small station
called Wootton, we enter New Mexi-
co, and although for many miles we
have been in a rocky, mountainous
region, now begins the real ascent,
and two powerful mountain engines
are necessary. Occasionally through
the fleecy clouds, or in the clear sun-
light, are seen the Spanish Peaks,
twin mountains on the east end of a
spur of the Culebra range of the
Rocky mountains. Their summits
tower above their mountain neigh-
bors, and are covered with perpetual
snow. Soon we reach the summit of
the Raton range, and as we pass
through a long tunnel, complete our
ascent of 8000 feet above sea -level, and
soon begin the descent of the range.
Seldom, however, throughout the day
do we get lower than 5000 feet.
The "Santa Fe trail" as it was called,
was beset at one time with much dif-
ficulty and great danger, from scarcity
of water, and attacks from the In-
dians. The latter are still numerous,
but now peaceable. It is said that the
Pueblos number 10,000, the Navajoes
4000, and the Apaches 1500. New
Mexico has little farming land, but its
vast plains support large herds of
Wow
cattle and sheep. Not tt single farm
building is seen for hundreds of miles.
The rancher selects iti place where a
stream is accessible, and the cowboys
do the rest; one "boy" can herd a
thousand sheep. They aro at home
oa the broncho, and cast the lasso
with unerring aim, and take great
sport out of a "tender foot" as an
easterner is termed. Types of popula-
tion as seen at the railway stations
are different here front those seeii in
Kansas, lllissouri or Illinois. dere
are ranchers, cowboys, Indians, 111e4 -
cans and Spaniards. The Santa Fe is
double tracking as much of its line as
possible every year, and the laborers
are chieliy Mexicans, As Mexico is
said to be the Iand where "no one
hurries and no one worries," the Mexi-
can never does the former, and judg-
ing from his dwelling, he never wor-
ries about home comforts either.
Los Vegas is the commercial capital
of the northern part of New Mexico,
"Los" is the Spanish for "City." Los
Vegas is a typical western town of
8000 population,
Soon after leaving Los Vegas we
commence the ascent of another range
of the Rockies, reading at Glorietta
Pass an altitude of 7,513 feet, Near
here, may be seen "Starvation Peak,"
where in 1300 a large band of Span-
iards were surrounded by Navajoes
and starved to death.
At Albuquerque, the Santa Fe turns
westward again, and at Gallop we
pass from New Mexico into Arizona,
but before we go farther, a word or
two about the great American desert.
It begins to appear in the very wes-
tern part of Kansas, extends through
Colorada, Now Mexico, Arizona and
west of " the mountains in California,
I should judge it is over a tLousand
miles across by the time it took to
traverse it. Part of this immense
stretch of waste land, is of course
mountains and foothills, but there are
millions of acres of level land on
which neither tree nor bcuse can be
seen. The sage brush is the only sign
of vegetation in many places, and
even the little railway stations (at
long distances apart) are the single
lonely habitation ; in some places, a
telegraph box on a low post enables
the conductor to communicate with
the next station for passing orders.
Drear, barren wastes are these
stretches of desert, tiresome to the
vision, and in the dry season the pass-
ing trains raise dust which the wind
carries into the train in spite of double
windows and . vestibuled cars. On
these lonely plains, trains have been
"held up," but looking at one of the
Wells -Fargo express cars on our train,
one would fancy it next to impossible
for robbers to enter it, but they do
sometimes and secure valuable booty
in the form of cash.
Here again, for the information of
our young readers, we pause to note
the time changes. Pupils of our
schools will remember that the sun
rises later to places west, and there-
fore itis earlier in the day as we tra-
vel westward. At Detroit or Sarnia
we put our watches back one hour to
change from ;Eastern to Central time,

Edwards' Bridge, East Wawanosh,
WE�fv
herewith present our readers with a couple of views of
the "Edward's Bridge" erected during the past summer by
the Council of East Wawanoth, at lot 31, Con, 6.7. It is
of a style new to the northern part of the county, being of cement
concrete, reinforced throughout with steel 1 beams, ro1,e, and ex-
panded floor metal, The bridge consists of one clear Span of 30
feet, and a roadway. 16 feet clear in width, suppo) ted on abut-
ments with a 5 ft. base and 5 buttresses all strongly reinforced
with half-inch steel rods, firmly attached at spaces of 15 inches
apart. The superstructure has a pleasing appearance, the guard
walls being neatly pannelleci. This style of bridge is much stronger
than the old style of steel or iron bridges and is some cheaper.
The carrying capacity of the bridge is 20 tons on 2 axles for a
live load, The contractors were Vint cCc Love who tendered for
eompleto work, titling and grading approaches and metalling road-
way way far $600, but as the fotlnclations for the west, abutment had
to go lower than the plans called for and it was deemed wise
to extend the wings on the north side, extras amounting to $13

"Fere incurred, 'V,
of the construction. Councillor Scott prepared the P oci-
fications and plans, the drawing being merited by Dred, Scan-
drett, As there are a large number of bridges in East Wawa-
nosh under 40 feet, future Councils in bnilding permanent struc-
tures are likely to follow the example set by the Council of 1000.
)
This obtains until we ready Bodge
City, Western Kansas (or any other
place on that meridian) and there back
go the watches another hour to mark
Mountain time, which prevails until
we reach Seligman in Arizona, and
then passengers turn their watches
back another hour, to mark Pacific
time, which bolds to the coast.
Before we leave the arid wastes of
Arizona, wo must refer to its petrified
forests, or one forest in five separate
tracts, These are all accessible from
a small station called Adarnana, and
one of them also from Holbrook, In
the first forest of petrified wood is
seen a natural bridge, once u, huge
tree, now a solid piece of stone, span-
ning a chaste sixty feet wide. It is
really a trunk of a tree changed by
Nature's peculiar powers in Arizona
atmosphere into jasper and agate,
Passing the second forest of trees
turned into stone, the third shows
larger trees. There are several hun-
dred fallen monarchs, petrified just as
they were when they fell ; some of
them aro more than 200 feet long, and
partly imbedded in the earth. The
colors are very prominent, and com-
prise every tint of the rainbow, "Cry-
stal" and "Rainbow" are therefore
appropriate names for the forest. To
the lover of nature there is much in-
terest attaching to these forests of
stone trees, and many questions arise
in the mind of the tourist. What
race of men walked through these
forests, when they were standing, and
the now petrified trees were covered
with leaves? What kind of birds sang
among their branches? What kind
of animals, in the ages long past, wan-
dered throngh the mazes of these for-
ests? What shock of nature brought
low these great monarchs of the olden
times? Were they petrified where
they fell, or were they brought here
on the tide of some vast sea that in
the ages long ago covered these now
arid wastes between the mountain
ranges ? These and other questions
come to the thoughtful person as be
views these fallen and silicified mon-
archs of the one-time forest.
But more anon.
