The big, . magnificent train of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad having on board the distinguished Salt Lake party pounded Into the station "with a roar this morning.

Clark, and it was 7 o'clock when the best-equlpptd train in the "West came quietly to a stop in front of the California Cali-fornia station. v Of the trip iiseif. words fall for a proper pen picture. Nowhere do stately crags pierce bluer skies or silver streams thread through finer groves than on this route. It is the Eden of the West, where halcyon days ever await those weary of the icy breath of winter or summer's torrid blast. - In Land of Romance. We are in a land of romance and mystery-a land -where the gray walls of ancient missions awaken memories of mellow chimes, sounding from a distant dis-tant monastery.

W e : hae passed orange groves laid out straight as the crow flics aggregating more than 20 000 acres of the goldea fruit. And all this is "irrigated land. It is WW here to state that Senator Clark has done much for tha irrigation oroject, ' both by his influence and money. These long stretches of fruit-laden trees show the value of his work In this direction. This land is irrigated by crystal streams that come bubbling up for the most part from artesian wells, and ' flow through miles of canals to refresh this formerly arid country.

A stag party is a party without the "dears" and without their refining influence in-fluence .the strict adherance to proper form is usually lifted a notch or two. But we are here at last. We have come a long 'way. But what a time! The rails show the route we came. Many also erected . temiwrary monuments along the run.
