Miss Gerle, left Delta on last Thursday morning, attended the rodeo in Cedar City, went on to Zion National Park, Pipe Springs National Nation-al Monument, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, Bryce's Canyon National Nation-al Monument, and returned by way of Clear Creek Canyon a jaunt ol 712 miles, and all without even one single puncture, blow out, or five minutes delay on account of a car. Very briefly touched the party took in the rodeo at Cedar City, r.nd thovoly enjoyed It. The riders all did well, and were first class; the event was pulled off without any drag, and something was doing every ev-ery minute. Red Adams rode his animal well.

From Zion to the Grand the party had a variety of experiences. They went ewlnmmlng In the hot sulphur baths near Hurricane; bot freshly picked almonds In Hurricane; Hurri-cane; saw fig trees by golly Eve must have been a small one. The view from the top of Hurricane Mesa Is certaluly a wonder. The fields lay ut before one just as from an airplnne.
