Mr. Editor: Thinking that perhaps a few items from this little nook might interest some of your will give them a brief description of my trip aerosss the lloekies, -and of our new location in the "Sunny San Luis Valley." Taking the train at Healy, on the morning of the 13th, I journeyed westward, passing through several nice little railroad towns, and over a vast amount of barren looking prairie, but seeing nothing particularly interesting until about 10 o'clock a. when I caught my first glimpse yesterday for the Indian Territory.

Office in Watson Block. of a mountain. It was Pikes Peak, and looked quite near, but I noticed that after traveling towards it for some time it did not seem any nearer. The next place of interest was Pueblo, a nice business place, full of life and activity, and many nice business houses and dwellings but one thing mars its beauty, and that is, so many saloons. From Pueblo I took the 1:20 a.

m. train for Alamosa, and as the train was late, it was dayligbt by the time we came to the best of the mountain scenery; which was beautiful beyond description, especially near the La Veta Pass. The sun rose bright and clear and his rays gilded the mountain tops till they ehone like the plumage of an angel's wing; and then rising higher, he cast bis beams over the foliage of the evergreens which adorn their rugged sides, making them shine with such beauty as is seldom found in the best of floral gardens. Then how grand and gloomy the canons were, their shadows contrasting with the brightness above. The elevation at Veta Pass is over 9,000 feet and I could look down and view the road which we had just passed over.

It looked dangerous, but I was enjoying myself too much to experience any sensation of fear. To those who would like to make such a pleasant trip, I will say it will not cost over 1-5. and I would not have missed it for twice the sum. Now, as to the valley, it looks like a vast amphitheater enclosed as it is on all sides by chains of mountains, except a narrow outlet through which the Bio Orande flows. Most of the water forthe irrigating ditches comes from this river and being fed by the snow melting in the mountains, the supply is unfailing.

The soil is a rich coarse sand or sandy loam, and when cultivated and watered is said to yield enormous crops of all the hardier grains and vegetables as well as good grass The officers-elect of Invincible lodge No. 151, Knights of Pythias, for ensuing term are as follows: C. J. H. Schiereck.
