The In- |
A-3'
Encountered by Saline Party in Their
Trip io Denyer.
(Continued fre-m last week)
"At Ames, la., is the State Agricultural College. New and up to date
buildings spreading, over about 50
acres, beautiful grounds surround the
college. In and around Ames' is another fine corn belt, valuable land,
prices'from $200 to $250 per acre, soil
dark and perfectly level for miles and
miles'. - These level stretches afford
fine" roads, making easy driving but
not picturesque scenery.
"You are now following us along the
Trans-Continental highway from Chicago  to   Denver.      There  are   three
routes, this and the Lincoln highway, j
also the gock river.    These roads -vie
with eacKfjpaer to. see which can have-
the best' road.     They  are   made  of
gravel.   These iu a lew years will continue no doubt from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.    We learned farms situated on these highways are more valuable than off the road, while the soil
may be practically the same.    From
Ames we go by the way of Cedar Rapids, a good sized manufacturing town.
At one of the highest points of the
city we saw nine liver bridges.   Every-
I body in this city live in comfortable
[homes, even the laborer.   Prom Cedar
Eapids to Boone, la., we crossed the
Indian reservations,
a desolate looking country
dian is just as primitive as they weref
'"^00 years ago, living in huts instead •
j of wigwams.     However, we could not i
stretch  our imagination far   enough!
to the idea that these huts could be an '
j improvement on the ancient wigwam.
i They still wear the gorgeous blanket,
"dish out Indian medicine, tell fortunes, have their war dances and drills,
do little or no work and depend entirely upon the government for" a living.
The amusing thing   about bur  trip
through the reservation was to watch
Reuben Gurk, rifle in hand and constantly oh the, alert lest we be scalped
or shot from ambush with an  arrow.
Another source of trouble was the big
snakes and the brown drift wood in
| the rivers.    He was constantly shoot-
ting at or looking ior some water ser-
*vpehts.    We collected quite a number
, of Indian relics here,'   I might say we
j did   likewise in   all-towns,   through
which we passed, generally pinning
\ them on our machine, which caused
! quite a stir in most villages to see the-
' collection ol trimmings we gathered
up.     At one little town  Mr. Finnell]
; stepped into a store, which turned out'
. to be a millinery shop. , Mr. Finnell'
is too much of a gentleman to go into 1
' a ladies' shop and not buy anything.,
! So looking around he saw a lady's |
; auburn switch, which he purchased!
* ior I1.9S, but Mr. Lindenschmitt be-1
. ing^a  perfectly   respectable  married
. man objected, so now any lady weaT--'
. ing that shade of  hair. may   get a'
switch chehp ol Mr. Finnell. "
"Boone has a population .of about
4,000.* It is'Hin old town, poor Streets•_
buildings unpainted, depends, on the
Indians.for its industry. .FroniBoon
to Jefferson is the best section; of the
state. Prosperity looks the traveller
in. the face everywhere, and so on to
Carroll, very lew trees -and many
small towns along the way. We observed that trees are being planted in
such sections. On inquiry we learned
that they do so for two reasons; first,
to break the. great sweep of wind that
tears over level sections, and second,
they have found that trees attract
moisture and cause more rainfall.
"Around Sterling is a great deal of
waste land, nothing but;sage brush
and cactus, prairie dogs and coyotes.
Some times we traveled 50 miles without seeing a sign-of habitation or vegetation. The telephone wires were
strung on the railroad fences. Often
we had to open railroad gates to pass
their tracks. Sterling city* itself is
noted ior the sugar-beet industry,
beets being shipped long distances.
From Fort Morgan to Denver there is
mostly desert, which abounds in antelope of which we s.hot three,' besides a
dog and a coyote.
Fremont, la., is a beautiful town,
iew towns of any size from here to
Lexington, a, distance of 230 miles
which we drove in one day, not being
able to find 'accommodations in the
villages. Between here and North
Platte we saw the alfalfa section. In
one field we saw sixty stacks. ' This
was their fourth" cutting. It is valuable land.   They have.no fences.
Our next stop was Sterling where we
had an exciting time when the hotel
at which we were stopping took 'fife.
It was an eight story building and we
had rooms on the.seventh. On the
same floor across the corridor was a
fleshy lady and a four year old child.
We all made for the fire escapes except
Mr. Lindenschmitt, who was attracted
by the mother's cries. He grabbed
both the woman and child and succeeded in carrying them to the second
floor, where he was met by a fireman
who offered to relieve-him, but'Lindy
was game and carried them-down and
out amid cheers and cheers. After
the fire we decided to leave town,
which we did about 11 o'clock. We
drove 20 miles when we come to a
place where a bridge was being built,
o\which was hung a red light. Not
being "sure the temporary bridge %was
strong enough for autos, we took the
Ted light to investigate. Immediately
from somewhere came five husky Ne-
braskans with clubs and guns, swearing by note. They refused to listen
to explanations but attacked us at
once. The melee went on. until two
went into the ditch and the others
took refuge over the fence, and we
drove on.
"Bennett, Colo., is a peculiar place.
The whole town seems'to be in one
building—stores', meat hiarkets, saloons and schools. They take pride,
in showing traveler where the cowboys
drove their ponies right into the saloon, where the bullets still remain.
This whole town put one in mind of a
dry goods box.
"We made it a point to"*1 visit all the
country; schoolhouses, quiz the teacher on the condition oi the school and
get her opinion of the centralization
of the rural school, after which" we
presented our cards . and drove on.
The children come on horses, two or
three* riding each horse. "One school
had a well equipped kitchen, the distance being so far betweeu the houses.
We inquired of the teacher where the
children lived and sKe told us that
many came 20 miles.
"At Greeley, Colo., they were having their annual mustang sale and
when it was learned that Mr. .Fiimell
was an auctioneer he was invited ta
step into the ring and show them how
we do "in Michigan. Well, lie showed,
selling 61-mustangs in;"one- hour.
:They begged him to stay and help
but the rest of us refused.
"None of us.enjoyed the trip across
the desert from Fort Morgan, to Denver but we certainly did enjoy the
hospitality of Mrs*. Lloyd" Crittenden
of Denver, who entertained the quartet at her beautiful home. Mrs. Crittenden is Mr. Lindenschmitt's sister.
"Denver, as everybody knows, is a
great big, beautiful, clean city, a typical western town with air its hospitality. _Our banner, "From Ann Arbor,
Mich.," to Denver, Colo.," attracted a
lot of people to us, being often hailed
on the street while driving to inquire'
about the good old Ann Arbor or, some
of their friends. Many Ann Arbor
people were asked about.
"We spent a day on Pike's Peak,
where the altitude affected Mr. Fin-
nell's hearing, Mr. Longfellow fainted
away and just narrowly escaped falling over the precipice, being rescued
by a sturdy colored woman. We also
had our pictures taken here and they
will soon he on sale at the Saline
creamer}'-. ._
"Frorh Denver to' Colorado Springs
is 75miles, tS0 of-which has an'eleva-
tion of 2,500 ieet to the mile. It effected the caTb'urator so we were unable to
make but 15 miles an hour. There is'
a gradual slope of 25 miles into Colorado Springs and we coasted the whole
distance. The scenery is- the most
beautiful we ever saw. The road
winds in and around the mountains,
then shooting opt again only to cross
a s*aucy mountain brook or pass between some great boulders. * Another
time we coasted from Palmer" Lake to
Denver, a distance of 50 miles of magnificent scenery. One wonders how
anybody could take "these trips in and
around Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pike's Peak, andthensay, "Thereis
no God." ■-,'...
"We drove to Grand Junction, aboutN
300 miles" from Denver, and visited
Mr. Lindenschmitt's mother and
brother. These people whojveire former Michigan residents still sing,
"Michigan, "My Michigan," • despite
the iact of the magnificent 'scenery
which surround them.
"From" here we made our return
trip. So far we have traveled 2193
miles, used 17 gallons of lubricating
oil, had eight punctures and a whooping good time."
