No. 38- LETTER FROM THE FAR WEST. Editor Record: We pulled out of Springfield, Mo., at night, and when I awoke next morning", I was in the state of Kansas, amid the pra ries. The portion of the state I passed through was fine farming i land, and the nice residences, good barns, and well-kept lands were good to look upon. On nearly every ranch could be seen the windmill to pro vide water for the stock and often 37ou would see these windmills out in the fields, far from the residences. Everything was covered up in snow, which prevented one from getting a better idea of the land, etc. While passing through Kansas, the state of sockless Jerry Simpson, I saw my first coyote. They remind one right much of the wolf, only not so large. When we reached Colorado, along after we passed Burlington. I first realized the meaning of the treeless glains. As far as the eye could reach, a bleak and desolate looking waste stretched out before the gaze. But before I go further, will men tion the Kansas cyclone cellars. Near ly every house you pass in western Kansas, could be seen nearby each residence k mound of earth with of ten a piece of stove pipe sticking out; thedoors to these cellars open on the end, and I wa3 informed cel lars cjontain beds, so that if night overtakes them, they can spend the in comtort. lhese necessary juncts to each home did not ap peal to my fancy as making that section a veiT desirable place for a home, though the people seem pros perous and happy. Well, back to Colorado. Over these treeless plains in the winter the wind sweeps the snow before it into banks, and in many places the railroads are forced to build snow fences to prevent the snow from filling up the cuts, for sometimes the tracks are clear and a strong wind begins to blow, and in a few hours drifts are piled up so deep that the trains cannot plow through. Colorado is indeed a pic turesque country. Aften you are in a beautiful valley, then you go into the mountains, and in almost inac- j cessaoie places you come upon a nice town near some thriving mining camp. When we reached Colorado Springs, it was a revelation, for there you find a thriving, hustling, beautiful city. Soon after leaving Colorado Syrings, Pike's Peak loom ed up before us with its snow-clad peak wmcn is reacneu Dy a cog-wneel railroad. From the view I had of it I would not enjoy a ride to and from its summit. From there on moun tains and snow without end, and be fore we crossed the divide I was sit ting in the smoker when the conduc tor came in with a trainman and opened a box and begun to get out snow shoes and heavy gloves, to meet the emergency of a probable snow blockade. With two engines tug ging away you could see that the train was making slow time, and the conductor pointed out of the win- dow, across wnere tne train was winding and doubling around the curves to a place where there was most danger. I took in the situa t.ion at once, for ihe wind was sweep ing the snow off the ground, and at times it was pelting against the win dow panes like a snow storm, though no snow was falling, only being drif ted by the strong winds, and he re marked, "If we can pass that point, we are safe." I began to think a bout rations out there, balked in a snow bank far from any place where communication could be had for re lief, but we pulled through before night, and the next day we passed throuS'SlSSf the home of the Mor mon propuct. vTou are scarcely ever out of sight of mountains after you reach Colorado until you get to the coast. - An occasional stretch of com paratively level land will be seen, but mountains everywhere. The Easterners conception of a valley is thrown down, when he gets out here. Now when you reach Salt Lake valley, you will find a valley indeed, and one or the richest and most beautiful in the United States. Have you pain of any kind, any 'where' Stop just a minute and think! Tt matters not whether it be woiuaii v pain, head pain, or any kind of a lin one of Dr. Shoop's little Pink S Tablets will surely stop it in 20 imites Fox mula plainly prmted on ffSTbox. Sold by C. C. Sanford i i '-0. Brigham Young certainly reached a point that most nearly approximates a paradise, when he planted his col ony there, and begun the foundation of the beautiful city of Salt Lake. Through this magnificent valley the railroad carries you for miles, and you behold on every side the finest farms, I might say in the world, for what nature has not done, man is doing to make it a veritable garden spot, watered by irrigation ditches all along where it is needed. After leaving Salt Lake City, the next place of any size was Provo, and then Pocatello, Idaho. In passing through these seemingly inaccessi ble mountain fastnesses, along some river you will look out and see where these hardy pioneers get the water that touches the barren wastes and makes them blossom like the rose. Along the solid almost perpendicular rock cliffs you will see the ditch hewn out of solid rock in places, then a wooden flume, carrying the water over some ravine or valley on to another point where it bores a tunnel through the solid rock, and on until it reaches the distributing point. Thousands in money and years of work have resulted in the building of these irrigation projects, and the results have proven their worth. In passing through North ern Utah and Southwest Idaho, I saw the largest sheep ranches with thousands of sheep in droves being fed on hay thrown down on the isnow. Friday, tne lbtn 01 January, we passed through the ihatilla In dian reservation, and for the first time I saw the red men and their wickiups. Soon after 12 o'clock, m. we reached Umatilla. Ore., and there we learned that the road over which I was traveling was blockaded by snow slides between that point and Portland. So after a long, tiresome wait, the conductor was ordered to take his train to Pasco, and go down to Portland over the North Bank road, a new railroad recently built at a cost of over forty-five million dollars, a part of the Hill system. When I passed through White Sal mon that night everything at the de pot was dark, and snow nearly knee deep, and the town li miles away, so I proceeded to Vancouver, and re turned to my destination the next day. On my return to North Caro lina I shall come by way of Chicago, and I am coming soon after April 1st. I have resigned my position, here, and on my return to North Carolina I will give those who con template moving to the great North west the benefit of my experience. The same energy expended here to insure success, will bring success in North Carolina, and you will not have to sacrifice the customs of our Southland if you stay where you are. Money is nice, but there are other things in this life more essential to real success and happiness. E. H . Morris White Salmon. Wash., 3-16-09. Mints Will Retire Indian Head Penny. The United Slates mint in this ciry will in a few day destroy the dies from which the present one cent pieces are made and will sink the new dies with the bronze med al design of the head of Abraham Lincoln, as ordered by the treasury department several days ago. The familiar Indian head on the present penny was made many years ago from a portrait of Mary Cunningham, a little Philadelphia girl whose father was an empioyee of the mint. Officials at the mint say that the pennies are the most habitually lost coins in all Uncle Sam's fractional cnrreccy. While none of them are retired because of loss of weight through wear, nearly all of which come into the peopled possession are from the mintage of compara tively recent years. They simply disappear through a thousand and one different chan nels, and never again engage in their mission as suitable exchange for commodities of small value. With the retirement of the present coin the Indian head penny will, i 10 tewer years than one would or- dinarily think, be the possession o'eiy of coin collectors. Ph'iladel- i.hia Dispatch.
