THE GLORIOUS WEST
AS SEEM BY THE GEORGIA
PRESS ASSOCIATION.
It Beautiful Cities, Fertile Valleys,
Snow Owned Mountains, and
Wealth Producing Mines-
*
When the 30th annual meeting of
the Georgia Frees Association was call,
ed to order by the president, Mr.H. H.
Cabanise, of the Atlanta Evening
Journal, at 10 a. m, on September 27,
the large number of members congre
gated in room 104, Kimball bouse,
Atlanta, little dreamed of the delight*
fol trip which they were to start on
that night, and, as the days passed and
they were swiftly moving; across the
continent viewing the moat wonderful
scenery of the world, all sanctioned
the one opinion—the Georgia Press
Association was the one enviable
among others. , . ; '
The meeting of the association in
Atlanta was one of great pleasure, but
for lack of space I will omit its pro*
oeediog and endeavor to interest the
readers of this article with a descrip
tion of the eights seen by a "Georgia
cracker.”
The Pullman Palace Car Co. com-.
pletely captured all in the beginning,
by placing two handsome cars at our
disposal, to be used throughout the
trip.
• But there are others quite as clever,
and this fact you will soon learn; for
the railroads and newspapers always
try to outdo each other in courtesies.
The Georgia delegation who were to
visit the Trans-Miseissippi and Inter-
* rational Exposition at Omaha, left
Atlanta on a special train over the W.
&A. railroad at 8:30, p. m , Sept. 27,
arriving in Nashville for breakfast the
next morning, and reaching St. Louis
• in the afternoon, over the NashviHe,
Chattanooga and St. Louis.
Arriving at Omaha at 3p. m. next
day over the Missouri Pacific, the par
ty was met by ex-Gov. W. J. Northen,
who had made arrangements for the
entire party at the Millard Hotel. The
exposition company complimented us
with tickets into the grounds during
our stay in the city. Georgia day was
a great success. The long procession
which was formed in the Georgia
building and marched to the auditori
um, saw the bright, glaring signs of
“Welcome Georgia” op all sides. But
you all have read of bow the ‘'Empire
State” covered herself with glory on
her day at the Trans-Mississippi and
International Exposition, and I shall
not repeal the story, though it be
worthy of it.
The exposition was a grand success,
and Omaha is to be congratulated by
the entire civilized world upon her ac
complishment at this time. Three days
were spent most pleasantly in thin-city
after which we took our departure over
the Union Pacific for Denver, thence
to Salt Lake City, Utah. The scenery
along this road was grand, and it was
with regret that the dark shadows of
night closed down upon us. And when
the dawn of a new day spread its rays
of light across the plains of Nebraska
and Southern Wyoming, many looked
upon the beautiful scene with longing
desires for the overcoat at borne—for
everything as far ss the eye could see
was covered with a heavy snow.
But the picture was yet to be seen,
for at 3:30 in the afternoon (Monday)
we reached the Union depot at Salt
Lake City, and saw the beautiful city
in the fertile valley surrounded by the
snow capped mountains, which are
yielding millions of dollars annually
from their mines—l for one was awe
stricken.
The day in that city was one ever
Dlive in the memory of all, for we
weto royally entertained while there.
Early Tuesday morning we were
driven over the city and country with
guides to explain everything of inter
est. At 11 o’clock we were tendered
cn crgan vocital a; the great Mormon
tabernacle which is ranked among the
largest and finest structure of its
kind in the world with an organ sec
ond to none ever made. From 12 to
130 we were complimented with free
baths at the great Hot Springs Sani
tarium, alter whiuh we were given by
the p:esa of the city a trip to Great
Salt Lake, At half past four we re
turned to the city where we had pre
viously accepted an invitation to go
through the mining and horticultural
building. Here speeches were made
by several prominent citizens of that
city, which were ably responded to by
our fellow statesman, Col. F. H. Rich
ardson.
But time was cot short here as we
bed another very important engage
ment to keep before leaving the city
at 7:50—t0 dine at the Kouteford.
Mr. G. 8. Holmes, of thia beautiful
and popular hotel, received the entire
party in a most gracious manner and
entertained them royally. All depart*
ed, after a most elaborate menu bad
been served, with three cheers for the
Knutetordand Salt Lake City.
. From this gem of the west we trav
eled over tire Denver and Rio Grand
road, stopping at Glennwood Springe,
the loveliest and now moat popular
resort of the west, and at Colorado
Springs where we took a tour to Pikes
Peak and through the Garden of the
Gode. A trip to the west is incom*
plete without a tour through the
Rockies over this road.
The road meanders down the Ar*
kansae river through varying scenery
of broad scope and gradually being
closed in upon, finds itself in the
ponderous jam of the gaping Royal
Gorge, the most wonderful piece nf
scenery in this grand trans-continental
route, but it is no more wonderful
than the great achievement of the
Denver & Rio Grand railroad, in
building its line through this almost
impassable gorge, where the rushing,
roaring water of the Arkansas river
battle for room with the precipitous
granite cliffs—thousands of feet high.
At places the railroad is suspended in
mid air over a seething caldron of the
rushing river, whose roar, coupled
with the awful grandeur of the overt
hanging cliffs, makes one of tbe most
awe-inspiring scenes and incidents to
be found anywhere on tbe globe.
Thus we traveled until we reached
Denver on Friday night where we
spent Saturday—as all previous days
—most pleasantly. But.our trip bad
already beenApnger than at first ex*
pec leu and although a dull moment
had not been spent on the entire jour
ney, many were ready to return to
Georgia.
We left Denver over the Missouri
Pacific that night, arriving at Kansas
City tbe next afternoon and from
there straight back to Atlanta over the
roads traveled on our journey west.
The Georgia Press is a great organi
zation and the trip was a glorious one
and this "Georgia cracker” saw more
in those three weeks than be will be
able to tell of in three years.
Whether I tell it all or not is a
matter of doubt, but I live io hopes
that my first will not be my last trip
with this able body of pencil sbovers.

A Street Car Incident-
A man with an incipient jag board
ed a Gilmor street car this morning,
says the Baltimore News, and asked
the conductor;
“Does this car go to Highlandtown?’
The conductor did not bear the
question, and the man asked, indig
nantly :
“I want to know, and know quick,
if this car goes to Highlandtown?”
Tbe conductor answered that it did
not, and the route mapped out by cbe
railroad officials for him, and which be
would take, barring a collision, break
down, or running off the track, was by
tbe Gilmor street way.
Tbs dased man asked, in an injured
tone: “And don’t this car go to High
landtown?”
“No, sir,” replied the conductor,
“Well,” said tbe man. “I’m glad it
don’t. I don’t like Highlandtown.”

o’clock the negro had been arrested
and the goods recovered. They con
sisted Os a trunk full of fine dresses and
other apparel, silverware and crockery,

ond-hand clothing store.

The Rome Tribune sensibly says:
* A great many of our best people,
most enterprising and patriotic, are
given to a practice that works great
mischief to our local interests and is a
hindrance to tbe progress of the city.
That practice is refusing or neglecting
to patronize our home industries, and
going elsewhere to buy their goods.
Thousands of dollars per year are
spent elsewhere by our people which
could be as profitably spent here
•‘ln feet every dollar carried away
works a positive injury to our own
town, while it does not in the least
benefit the purchaser, as the bagains

“This is all a fad, tbe idea of going
abroad for things that can be bought
at home. Some of tbe “smart set”
think it quite the thing to order a
dress or a bonnet, or some other fol de
rol from New York, while some more
humble imitator also thinking it the
"thing” has to follow suit and order
from elsewhere when goods just as
smart, just as pretty and equally as
good can be bad at theii doors.”

An Editor Loose-
This is tbe way the editor feels when
he does his sentiment in blank verse:
‘I would flee Iron the city’s rule and
law—from its fashion and forms cut
loose—and go where tbe strawberry
grows on its straw and the gooseberry
grow- on its goose; where tbe catnip
tree ie climbed by the cat as she
clutches for her prey—tbe guileless
and unsuspecting rat on the rattan
bush at play ; I will watch with ease
tbe saffron cow and tbe cowlet id their
glee, as they leap in joy from bough to
bough on tbe top of a cowslip tree;
and list while tbe partridge drams hie
drum and tbe woodchuck chucks his
wood, and tbe dog devours tbe dog
wood plum in tbe primitive solitude.
"O let me drink from the mossgrown
pump, that was hewn from the pump
kin tree! Eat mush and milk from a
rural stump, from folly and fashions
free—new gathered mush from the
mushroom vine, and milk from the
milkweed sweet —with pineapple from
tbe pine. And then to a whitewashed
dairy I’ll turn, where the dairymaid
hastening hies, her ruddy and golden
red butter to churn from tbe milk of
her butterflies; and I’ll rise at morn
with the earliest bird, to tbe fragrant
farmyard pass, and watch while the
farmer turns bis herd of grasshoppers
out to grass.—Pacific Union.
