Mo. try of rolling hills and ascends the Rio Puerco through Pueblo reservations; passing towns build on steep hillsides with ir regular streets or passways amongst the dwellings; flat roofs and earthen walls giving a terraced appearance to the slopes. The women and children clothed in comfortable woolen fabrics, probably of their own weav ing; the bright colors of their loose fitting robes had a picturesque effect as contrasted with brown surroundings. A spur of the San Mateo mountains was passed on the right, and extensive lava beds, black and verdureless on the left.

The hills broadened and larger extent' of country was in Right, with pinon bushes on each side of the road and timber in the distance on the Continental Divide. The elevation of the pass is 7,257 feet above the ocean. From Coolidge on the head drainage of the Rio Puerco of the West the road de scends fifty miles into the valley of the Colorado Chiquito at Winslow. Some cattle have been in sight, and one or two ranches with small irrigated fields as specks in the sandy waste. Here is a region of magnificent mountain scenery.

Valleys ex tending the view to far off buttes, grand and solitary; the black lava bed contrasted in color with red sandstone, and purple changing into brown in porphyry and sienite; the whole backed by dim moun tain ranges, covered with snow, humping up on the horizon. Around is the handiwork of man in dwellings hewed into the rocky face of in accessible cliffs, and to the south, near the Gila river, are the remains of irrigating ditches now covered in part by lava beds evidencing a civilization probably as old as the Jews; antedating the Olympiads, and whose history is a myth darkening into the ages of the past. This is fairy land. Eight miles south of Carrizo there is 1,000 acres covered by a petrified forest. All colors, it is said, can be produced from these agatized tree trunks.

I don't vouch for the story that on the branches sit petrified birds, singing petrified songs. Winslow is 4,841 feet above the ocean, and 1,189 miles from the Missouri river. Ascending from Winslow we cross Canon Diablo, twenty-six miles beyond. This is a rocky valley 220 feet deep, cutting the level plain and opening north into the Colorado Chiquito. It is crossed by an iron trestle 540 feet long.

The change is pleas ant on entering the pine covered slopes and open glades of the San Francisco moun tains. The train sped along rapidly through snow-covered valleys. Occasional plats of ground are fenced. Work horses and ox-teams are delivering ties, and the typical log house with fair-haired, ruddy cheeked children are seen standing in the door watching the passing cars, a happy reminder of the timber regions of the mid dle states and in strong contrast to the bare rocks and treeless wastes we had pissed through. At Flagstaff, 6,886 feet above the ocean, the descent is begun to the Kio Colorado, 230 miles ahead.

The valleys widen at Williams, more and is in cultivation, and here is the nucleus of a prosperous trading town in the heart of a lumber and mining region. Bowling along rapidly we are soon at Peach Springs. This is the nearest station south of the Grand Canons of the Colorado, said to be the deepest and most wonderful river "gorge" in the world dwarfing the Yosemite more varied and extended than the Grand Canon of the Arkansas. "For more than 300 miles the river and its tributaries flow with great swiftness through narrow chasms with nearly perpendicular walls and over rocky beds, from 3,000 to 6,000 feet below the level of the plateaus." This is a land of gigantic cliffs, echoes and cataracts majestic beyond description. From Peach Springs, 4,780 feet above the ocean, the ratio of descent becomes greater to the crossing of the river near the Needles.

Grass and timber is left behind, with the snow, and vegetation is of the desert, the true cactus or yucca growing to a height of eight to ten feet The Colorado Grande of the West was a great disappointment. A comparatively narrow valley covered with stunted shrub by bushes and the sides of the mountains sloping up into bare rocks. The stream shallow and divided into channels of yel- ow muddy water no life, no grandeur the whole a scene of desolation. In the failing light of evening the bridge crossing might be likened to the journey of life in the vision of Mirza. The Needles is 477 feet above the ocean and 1,476 miles from the Missouri river.

At Goffs, thirty miles beyond, the elevation is feet. SinKs are passed where melted snow and storm water is lost in the sand. Vegetation has disappeared, and there is no living thing in sight. We are on the desert, following a valley bounded on the south by hills rising into peaks, and close in on the north by escarpments of the Calico mountains flanked by perpendicular bastions and talus based buttresses, with great central masses rising into snow in the distance. The coloring is bright, in places resembling patchwork, red and pink pre dominate, changing into brown and inlaid with white.

Water is found at Daggett, 2,000 feet above the ocean, and at Bars tow it flows into the Mojave river; Cottonwood and willow grow on the banks and scattering pinon and cedar bushes are seen on the hills. Travel for the populous districts of South ern California leaves the Atlantic Pacific at Barstow, 1,645 miles from the Missouri river, and turns south on the California Southern railroad. This road ascends the slopes of the Mojave valley to the Cajon pass. For two-thirds of the way the river is in sight, meandering amongst irrigated farms or through groves of cotton wood, young sycamore and willow, passing rocky points and again spreading until lost sight of in the sand. The new settlement of Hesperia, ten miles northeast of the.

summit at Cajon pass, shows how capital is being applied to the modern development of Southern California. It consists of 23.040 acres on a plateau Coast. Special Correspondence of the HerakL Impelled by that destiny which gives to a race the heritage of a continent, and has led from the Islands of the Sea to the At lantic coast, and west by the Great Lakes, the central valleys and the gaps of the mountains into the Mississippi basin and the great plains beyond. The large emi gration to California in the early part of the winter enabled the writer, through friends, to make the trip to the Pacific by way of the great grazing lands of Western Kansas, New Mexico and Central Arizona, "scaling: bleak summits verdureless and grey," to the "land of the vine and fig "where the sun ever shines and the flowers ever bloom." Leaving Kansas City at 10 o'clock a. m.

the train made fast time westward up the Kansas valley, skirting the wooded bluffs along the river to Topeka, and running rapidly along the valleys and over the roll ing plains of Central Kansas, past com fortable homesteads, through well cultivated farms and a country dotted with prosperous towns and villages. When near-ing the Arkansas river this pleasant pano rama was veiled in the shadows of night. Next morning we were at La Junta, 572 miles from Kansas City and 3,300 feet above the Missouri river, on the line to Pueblo, where travel divides, part going north to Denver, and part west through the Grand Canon of the Arkansas and Marshall's pass to Salt Lake. Turning to the southwest at La Junta and ascending nearly 2,000 feet in eighty-two miles, we come to the old Spanish town of Trinidad on the Purgatoire branch of the Arkansas. On the right the Greenhorn mountains have been in sight.

Nearing them we see snow, flanked by great black patches of pine forest and Mount Blanco's white crest towering in the rear. Trinidad is in a large coal field, and does a profita ble trade in outfitting miners, and with ranchmen whose flocks of sheep and herds of cattle range from the valleys in the mountains to the plains of the Cimarron and the Canadian in the Pan-Handle of Texas. At Trinidad, as at a gateway, we enter the outlying foothills of the Sangre de Cristo range, cumulating, on the right in the Spanish Peaks, boldly outlined against the sky and their snowy covering glisten-, ing in the sunshine. We are now amongst the mountains and ascending into the Raton pass, 7,688 feet above the ocean. This elevation is reduced 173 feet by a tunnel opening the way into the head valleys of the Canadian river.

The scenery becomes interesting and varied. We cross broad savannas and see projecting hills covered with brown arte- misia, fringed in places by dark masses of pine; the train winding beside a running brook, and again laboring alorjg the breast of a mountain overlooking stretches of val- ey land enclosed by wooded hills. Las Vegas is 770 miles from the Mis souri river and 5,680 feet above it. There is a mixed population of probably 8,000 inhabitants, with gradations in buildings from the jacal of the Mexican to the two- story brick warehouse of the modern pro gressive merchant, lhe town is lighted with gas. There are water works on the gravity principle with water supply drawn from mountain streams.

A street car line connects the railroad depots with the plaza of the old town. There are three banks, four mills, three factories, railroad machine and repair shops, five newspapers, ten churches and schools, and several hotels. A branch road six miles having: a rail service of five trains a day, connects with the Hot Springs. This is a health and pleasure resort of national notoriety, ong known for the healing quality of its waters. The Phoenix hotel is provided with an electric light and all modern con veniences.

We are now on the sloping valleys of the Gallinas branch of the Rio ecos, a tributary of the Rio Grande, and about 7,000 feet above the ocean. Apache Canon may be noted as deserv ing attention. The rocks divide, leaving a tortuous path for the locomotive, with perpendicular cliffs on each hand which open at Glorieta (translated summer house), a sloping valley 7,432 feet above the ocean, and more than 100 feet below the "divide." Here the descent begins to the Rio Grande. Lamy unction is eighteen miles from Santa Fe, with a branch railroad service of three trains a day. The ancient town of Santa Fe is peculiarly foreign in appear ance, with a recorded history of 350 years, and having the descendants of a race whose origin is lost in the mists of time quaint old churches, some combining the monastery with the fortress, flat roofed houses, a line plaza, beautiful gardens and charming suburban homes.

It is the capital of New Mexico, a military district headquarters, United States land office and courts, and an archepiscopal see of the Roman Catholic church. There are water works which draw their supply from mountain springs, and the town is lighted with gas; academies and school, a great many churches and a hospital; two banks, three hotels and three newspapers. The population is about 8,000, and through its fine location and home capital it controls a large part of the trade of the territory. Albuquerque is amongst the progressive towns of New Mexico. With a population of 7,000, it has gas, electric lights, a street car line connecting the railroad depots with the old town a mile away, a system of water works with Holly pump and reservoir.

There are three banks, two flour mills, several manufactories and foundries, a dozen or more churches, schools and three newspapers. It is a little over 5,000 feet above the ocean, about 900 miles from the Missouri river, in the valley of the Rio Grande del Norte. Surrounded by irrigated farms, with a good revenue from its home productions and a large outside trade with Mexicans, miners and cattle men. Trains are made up at Albuquerque for the Atlantic Pacific railroad, and we leave the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe at the junction on the west side of the river near the bridge thirteen miles below, where ter, on the railroad, for business and resi dences. Water is taken from a mountain canon, carried in an open ditch through rock side hills to a projecting spur of the mountains, and piped for six miles to the town.

The supply pipe is of wrought iron near the reservoir with a 30-feet head and a 14-inch diameter steel pipe near the town, where the pressure is 396 feet per pendicular at the lowest point. The soil may be described as a brown, sandy loam overlying a clay sub-soil, and is now cov' ered with Spanish bayonet" and other low shrubby vegetation. Streets are graded and houses are being built. Inside lots with water supply are offered for sale at from $100 to $50 a lot, and outside the town olat at from $150 to $60 an acre. It a mav be added that loss of moisture by evaporation is very great and that the rainfall is wholLy inadequate to vegeta tion except of the most hardy kinds pe culiar to the desert.

The summit at Cajon pass is 3,819 feet above the ocean. This is a remarkable de pression in a mountain chain lying par allel with and sixty miles from the Pacific coast. The mountains rise boldly on each, side with their snowy mantles drawn close ly around them and cumulating on the east in Mt. San Bernardino, 11,555 feet high, and on the west in Mt. San Antonio, 11,142 feet high.

Mesas or table lands on the mountains are covered with pine and hem lock timber, and a profitable industry is carried on in manufacturing lumber for use in the valleys below. With us there is nothing of the hesita tion of the prophet when viewing the rich valley of Damascus from the mountains; behind is the desert, and we hasten forward. In front, nearly 2.000 feet below, is the broad valley of the Santa Ana, flooded with sunshine. The bulk of the population, and very much tne oest portion oi an Bernardino county, is before us exceeding in area any oi our largest counties in Mis souri. In descending and emerging irom the hills enclosing the pass secondary elevations hide Mt.

San Bernardino, but as we progress Bear valley breaks the wall of the Sierra, find "Old Grayback" is now in sight, massive in its elevation of 11,800 feet above the ocean; Lagonia and Redlands can be seen to the southeast, and on the horizon in tne distance tne wide opening leading into the Gorgonio pass, backed by the hazy San Jacinto Sierra. The town of San Bernardino is ahead, in the centre of the valley, with Colton three miles beyond. The flank of that low, detached and brush covered hill, a little to the right, hides Riverside six miles further, and still be yond, dimly seen in the distance, is the Temescal mountains enclosing Lake Elsinore and the streams and reservoirs from which water is rawn for the town of Rincon and the new settlement of South Riverside. To the west behind that swell of ground, above Rialto, lies Ontario and the Chino ranch property twenty-five miles away. This is all low mesa and valley land with the town of San Bernardino as a centre, much of it highly improved and ir rigated from artesian wells by pipe lines, or from mountain streams and surface distribution.

It is said that the slopes near the base of the mountain ranges and other lands not now in use can be brought into cultivation by impounding storm water and melted snows flowing from gulches and distributing it during the crop season. In carrying out this idea on a large scale Bear valley reservoir high up in the mountains receives the drainage of about sixty square miles, covers 2,000 acres of land, with a storage capacity of $100,000,000 gallons of water. The dam is 300 feet long and 60 feet high, and when completed will largely increase the irrigation of the country below. San Bernardino is the shire town of a county having an area of 23,470 square miles, one-third the size of the state of Missouri. Taxable wealth is valued roughly at $12,000,000.

The population in the city proper is about 6,000. Suburban villa residences and fruit farms will increase this and the town is growing: rapidly. The principal offices, depot buildings, yards and repair shops of the Santa Fe railroad system in California is located here. Business houses are mostly of brick, compact and well built structures, and on the ad joining streets are delightful homes with ornamented gardens nestling in the shade of a tropical foliage. Water is obtained from artesian wells; the quality is good and supply abundant.

Pressute is obtained by piping and ihe click of the hydraulic ram is heard on every side raising water into the hotels and principal building's, waste water flows in the streets and sewerage is promised at an early day, plans are made and contracts let. There are a number of church edifices. Nearly 1,000 pupils attend the academy and graded There is gas and electric lights; four hotels; three banks with an aggregate capital of $262,500, and deposits on hand on the first of last July (1887) amounting to $1,211,175. There is a foundry, carriage shop works, in wood and iron, hour mills, planing mills, and brick and cement pipe factories. For transit, four lines of street horse cars, two steam motor lines, and two great leading lines of railroad pass through or near to the town with branches leading to the east, west and southwest.

Norte are working on the Rio Grande river so as to throw the current over to the American side, causing much damage. The bodj of a man about 30 jears of age, was found in the Kaw river near Eudora last Friday. From papers found on the person it was learned that he was' James McCarrager and that he had committed suicide. Warden Smith of the penitentiary settled with the state treasurer last week. His report shows a decrease in the number of prisoners 908 as against 916 last month.

The earnings were $11,561.76. Expenditures $12,129,34. The boiler of a big mogul freight engine on the Erie railroad exploded the other evening at Craigville, instantly killing the engineer, John Boding, and Boyce, and injuring Conductor John Clark so badly that he died an hour afterward. The Missouri river continues veryhijrh at Sioux City. Water from the inundated regions above is still deep on the lowlands, but gradually drying off.

Many farm houses are surrounded by water. Railroad communication is effectually broken by the wrecked Sioux river bridge and washed out tracks and road bed. A party of Catholic missionaries will shortly leave the City of Mexico for southern Mexico with a view to converting the Lacondons, a wild tribe of Indians, 25,000 in number, scattered over portions of the states of Campechee, Tabasco and Yukatan, reported to preserve the religious and social customs of the Aztecs in their primitive purity. It is said that they still offer human sacrifices to their gods. The secretary of state is in receipt of a dispatch from General Bragg, United States minister at the City of Mexico, enclosing a copy of an order from the department of war of Mexico, calling attention to the late trespass on the frontier by Mexican troops, and saying that, despite the severity which tbe law dealt with the Nogales offenders in 1887, these" violations of a friendly territory still continue.

Mexican troops and officers especially are, therefore, cautioned to be more vigilant in the future, under penally of such as military law provides, in case of 'further violations of this character. St Nicholas for April, 1888. The April St. Nicholas has a seasonable frontispiece by Fenn, two toddlers under an umbrella, on "An April Day." This introduces the opening article "What Makes it by George P. Merrill.

There is also a charming "Rhyme for a Rainy Day" by Julia M. Colton, artistically framed by Katherine Pyle. Louisa M. Alcott, in "Trudel's Siege," relates the efforts of a brave little Dutchwoman to tide her parents over a time of trial and shows how she succeeded through "patience, courage, and trust in God." There are excellent illustrations by Edwards. There is a translation from Daudet, by Maria Ellery MacKaye, "The Red Partridge Tells His Story," wherein is given "the bird's-eye view" of partridge-shooting.

It is illustrated by Wiles. "The Tables Turned" is a true account of asheep who chased wolves, illustrated by Monks. There are, another of the Child Sketches from George Eliot "Silas a picture, "Easter Morning," by Lizbeth B. Comins; and the conclusion of "Edward Athoy."

A Fatal Ending of Arbor Day. Palmyra, April 6. Yesterday being Arbor the teachers and children of the public school started shortly after dinner 4o the outskirts of the city to dig up trees to transplant in the school house yard. On reaching the old Primrose place some 'of the smaller children, who were in advance, gathered around a well and attempted to pump up some water to drink. The planks gave way and fifteen children ere 'precipitated into the well, containing five feet of water.

By means of a rope the 1 teachers were successful in getting all but one out alive. Arthur, the 9-year-old son of Mrs. Sam Littell, a widow, was drowned. Brace Up.
