FROM OVER THE ROCKIES
And the Plains of the West—A "High
Toned" Supper.
I To the News:
Denver, Col., May 11.
The Texas delegation to the
1 General Assembly of the C. P.
church at Eugene, Oregon, left
Fort Worth at II p. m. Wednes-
day the 9th. There were 70 of
us and the trip through the Pan-
handle country was interesting
indeed.
We left the Lone Star state at
Texline, which we reached at 0 p.
m. Thursday. Here we turned
our watches back an hour so as
to run by mountain time, pulled
out into New Mexico and into the
wild and rugged mountains which
stretch themselves across our
path. Mt. ('abulia, several thous-
and feet high, is an extinct vol-
cano, and the Twin mountains, be-
tween which the railroad runs,
seem to be great bills ol burnt
rock and masses ol cinders.
At Folsom we took supper, a
high toned supper, 4,000 feet
higher than the supper tables in
Denton. All night long we toiled
up, up, up toward Denver and the
Rockies. Pike's Peak, snow-
crowned and white headed, ap-
peared on our lift at dayl'ght and
so immense is the wonderful mass
that he seems to run a rat* with
us for hours. At 7:30 we pulled
into Denver, the capitol of Colo-
rado. a city of 150,000 people, fine
public buildings, miles of street
railway, straight and cleaner
streets than any city I have ever
seen. Here we met the delega-
tions from Omaha, Kansas City
and Memphis, making to this
point, more than 300 members,
who were taken in charge by the
fbambei of Commerce and given
a four hour's ride over the city,
seeing many interesting sights.
