The scen ery of the Denver and Rio Grande, and here and there a bit upon the Sierra is more startling and sensational, higher elevat'ons of rocks, scenery more abrupt, but for sustained and varying beauty, mountains, valleys, farms, fields, forests and streams, great mountains, grand rivers, we recall nothing comparable with the trip we .have recently taken. Our own Mount Shasta, with the snow covered Buttes of the Lassen, Mounts "Hood, Rainier, St. Helene, Baker, Jef- feraon, and Adams together form a group not exceeded for beauty and grandeur elsewhere in the world. There are a hundred miles of forest lying along the upper Bacrainento, and thence to the summit ol tlie Siskiyou mountain, that by some «»-operation between congress and the railroad company, should be preserved as a national park. The saw mill is already doing its devilish work in demolishing the beauty of the forests.
