Show I. JOHN J. M11TY ADMIRES OGDEN . Ami Ogden had a distinguished visitor this morning In the person of Dr. John J. McNulty, of New York City, who Is known to tho medical profession throughout tho world for his research work and contributions to text books on medical subjects. Dr. McNulty drove through Ogden canyon and after enjoying the beauties of the gorge, he wrote his wife this description, which should be preserved in the fllos of the publicity bureau: "Dear: Not since leaving New York, last March, on my continental jaunt, have I had so pleasant a scenic experience as this morning on a trip up Ogden canyon. "Last night a thunderstorm resounded resound-ed with full resonanco and vivid lightning light-ning over the mountains and through tho valley. Tho early morning air and light wore refreshed by this storm and made our early morning motoring through the canyon so much moro pleasant. Down through the canyon comes a full urgent mountain stream, along whose banks wo ascended. Every turn of tho tortuous road brought Into view high, rugged mountain moun-tain surfaces and peaks 'all rich In color and varied In form and detail. All was noble, picturesque, and deeply stimulating. Near the head of the canyon defile tho mountain spurs di verge, making an elevated level which this morning was atmosphered with a quiet and peaceful sense. Into this mountain opening converge several canyons, each of which Is rich in noble and varied beauty. "There Is a greenness, fullness and variety of tree, bush and foliage that Is welcome to tho traveler from the east after having traversed the arid, leafless wastes of , Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado and much of Utah. "I am inclosing some photographs of Ogden canyon, which will give you some idea of the rugged mountain forms, deep canyon recesses and urgent, ur-gent, rushing streams. Of courso these photographs do not convoy any Idea of the varied, rich color which gives such value to the scene. "Upon reflection and in retrospect, it Is all so pleasantly remote and natural nat-ural and noble and stimulating as compared with the great human, sordid sor-did struggle of our great city of New York. "I continue my trip Into Montana today. "Cordially, (Signed) "JOHN J. McNULTY." |
