From Enterprise I made one o

when I got there I found Mrs. Rog

room of the Central railway by al
the sisters I have, viz.: Mrs. Mar)

stanMs the home and the old "Moun
tain Sentinel" office. I had a good
home and a deir mother aid t
brother by whose side I worked a.
the printer's case'. On Sunday after
m.on I visited the Silent City of the
Dead that lovely cemetery where
for some years our mother ha:
rested and where last March that be
loved brother was laid to re3t by
her side.
Three special tickets had been
sent for to Portland for Mr. and
Mrs. S. A. Pursel and .myself. They
did not come until Sunday morning
ween we drove to the depot and
signed for them. The extra ticket
was sent for on the chance of my
coming, and the agent , telegraphed
to Portland for an extra berth ;foi
me. On Sunday my brother, E. S
McComas' wife and daughter came
to see me and on Sunday night my
dear old and only remaining brother.
E. S., came to stay over night at
Sister Mollie's where I was.
On Monday morning we were off
and glad to get started. Superin
tendent Hunter of the Rock Island
came from Portland to Salt Lake tc
look after the comfort of the 0. A
R. people and their friends. The
car in which we were was a specia.
tourist, the seats making into e '
lower berth at night. ' We found
that a lower berth had been reservei
for Mr. and Mrs. Pursel, but f
strange gentleman was to have the
upper berth; however" through the
kind and patient efforts of Superin
tendent Hjinter ere' night he hae
changed the ' gentleman to anothei
and given us the whole compartment,
myself the upper berth. We arc
quite sure the G. A.- R. party have t
very grateful . recollection of thi!
gentleman,- who, ere leaving the ca.
at Salt Lake City, presented ever)
lady of the party with a box of
choice bonbons. '"
At Salt Lake City we were to laj
over a day, as other delegates jolnet
us there from California, Nevada anc
Utah. We were met-there by a. dele
gatlcn from the city, taken on the
street cars through the prlnclpa
streets, and had it not been we were
two hours late, they had Intendet
us to visit their fort; were takei
to the tabernacle to a grand orgar
recital on that fine pipe organ, alsi
listened to a beautiful singer, one
Emma Ramsey Miller; thence to i
grand spread at the I. O. O. F. hal
where for souvenirs there was lah
by each plate their state flower, the
Sego lily; attached to it were lont
white streamers on which was print
ed, "Salt Lake City, 1909," thel
city being1 a candidate for the G. A
R. encampment for 1909. After din
ner we were ' taken to the Saltalre
Beach where we were turned loose
to view the lake, take in the amuse
ments of that beautiful resort untl
4:45 when the train was again li
readiness and conveyed us to the
depot. I have omitted to mentloi.
that the music. furnished for us oi
the 'street cars and to the lake
wab played by a band of eight ladlei
dies and It was fine. From Sal
Lake there were threa special car
of G. A. R. people, nine cars in all.
But as I am making this too lenghty

through the pretty little town o.
Rifle, Colo... where the companion
who has passed on to the great be
yond, once spent a winter of his life
the winter of WOO.
A bulletin board assured us tha.
the finest apples and the fattest cat
tle on earth were to be found there
Onward through the Grand Junction
country, where peaches, melons
apples, plums, canteloupes, tomatoes,
equal to the Imnaha country, were
displayed In the windows of every
town on we flew through the Rock
les, now between mountains tower
ing on either side, with the mouths
of shafts gaping at us from the hill
sides, now shooting through tunnels
now catching glimpses of valleys
and canyons where the silvery Col
orado, the Grand, Eagle and othei
rivers wended their ways. On Thurs
day evening, as the sun was sink
ing we entered the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado., The conductor called
"Everybody to . the rear who wants
on the observation car," and there
was a hustling, and such a glorious
ride! Darkness had fallen ere we
got fairly settled. So much does the
roud curve around the mountain sides
that from the rear of the tenth, or
observation car, we could see our en
gine ahead of us, and a red globe
hanging on the outer side of the
train, near the center, a danger sig
nal swaying In the breeze that alsc
swept the sparks backward over us
and towseled the hair of many e
bareheaded passenger, while over
head towered ' the' mighty overhang
lug peaks of the Rockies, and far,
far above them could be dlscernet
a line of sky, like a railway In the
heavens from which the stars seemee"
to twinkle at us like electric lights
from the car windows.
( Later, the gentlemanly conducto:
who had charge of the G. A. R. spec
ials from Salt ' Lake to Chicago,
grouped together some who coule"
Jing familiar airs such as G. A. R.
longs, etc. We had among us a
?entleman from Hood River, Ore.,
l Mr. Billings, who played both
flute and violin very nicely, and we
'lad quite an impromptu musicale,
ilso a merry jig executed by an old
soldier, one Dr. Jamleson of Boise,
da. I might Bay that. Mrs. Hlggins,
Iepartment commander of the W. R.
C. of Oregon, was quite ill on the
train most of the way .from Union
o Colorado Springs. My sister, Mr3.
Pursel, delegate from Union county,
Oregon, nursed her, and Dr.. Jamleson
Undly prescribed for her free ol
charge. We were somewhat behind
ime, owing to hot boxes, etc., anc
he conductor told .us we would have
o lay over at Colorado Springs. We
leard G. A. R. people saying, "These
:ars are to go straight through
.o Chicago. " The conductor said
'Well, we'll see." At about 11 p
n. he came around to all the berths:
'Tickets, please, sorry to disturb al!
you good pedple, but these three
:ars of G. A.' R. people go on a
special train to Chicago, so must see
your tickets, please; all right, sorry
to dtsturl) you."
