I’d The News:
Greetings to all the News people and
j ilielr readers. 1 promised to write
about our trip to the Iltrby O. Coonon,
I which Is about forty miles from her«
i in a mountain called Mt. Lowe. On
.■lunday morning, April th, I (Hied a
| good sized basket with provisions for
| our dinners and tu started. We got
!! down town too late to cateh the car
we Intended to take and found wt
would have to wait a whole hour oi
take the narrow guage car which left
In half an hour. We decided on the
latter and were not sorry afterwards,
for we had never boon over that route
and we enjoyed it. It gave us a dif-
ferent view of the valley. It is valley
ill the way with mountains on one
side and ocean on the other. We were
just an hour and a half going front
Kan Peilro to Los Angeles and that Is
about 22 miles. We had to walk about
three blocks to the street car depot
Lowe and gathered In a groups at
the Mt. Lowe gate of the depot. There
was a big crowd at every gate wait-
ing for their cars to come. Our car
came in a few minutes, the gate was
unlocked and a crowd rushed out. I
held on to Grace's hand until we reach-
ed the car and then 1 turned around
to look for Mr. Sivard and Frank. 1
could; not see them anywhere, and
just as the car started to move out
the conductor came to me and asked
which car I wanted to go on. I told
him 1 wanted to go to Mt. Lowe but
was waiting ofr my husband. He said
there would be another oar in a few j
minutes, so I started to look for the !
men. I met another conductor who:
askedl aue the samething. When I
told him he said for me to go hack J
to l,he gate and look for them so I
would not lose them. 1 went baci !
| to the gate, and what do you think? j

They had them looked in there. It
wasn’t long until another car cam
and then they got out and we got on
! the car in a hurry. One car rolls out
| and another takes its place in that de-
pot all day long and all night, too.
l believe we were soon flying through
.M the streets Los Amtgeles and Pasa-
dena. We couldn't tell when we got
into Pasadena for it was town all the
way. We traveled two hour3, at
< i least, through th* solid town from
Gardena to Mt. liowe, a distance of
3(1 miles. We reached there about
11:30 a. m. The car went up the in-
cline for about two miles until ft got
to the mouth of the canon. Another
car waited to moot the one we were i
on hut we didn't go up any farther on |
a car.
The cars that go to the top of the j
j mountain look something like an an ^
totnobile, and carry about six people. 1
I Two of those little cars were carrying
J passengers up the mountain and as wo
looked after them it seemed as if the
I track went, stright up the mountain;
they put chains across the gate of
the cars when they start up this in-
cline.
We started up the canon on foot
| and after we had gone a little dis.
tance It got so difficult to climb over
| the rocks and pipes with water run
nhig through them and over them, and
I told the folks I believed 1 had
gone far enough. So Grace and I
stopped there and hunted pretty locks.
Mr. Sivard, Frank and a lot of others
kept on up the canyon, winding around
(back and forth across it and mosl
of the time right along the water.
They were gone about half an hour
and when they came hack it was din-
ner time. We took our basket back
j a little ways where there were tallies
i and seats so we could enjoy ourselves
I and our dinners, and I did enjoy it
| too,, for I haven’t had any appeitlte'
for some tint.’. The water was fine,
as good as i ever drank, for it was
spring water running down the can-
on from six inches to a foot deep.
After dinner Frank wanted me to
go on up the canon. He said the
worst place was right where I stopped
so we tried it again and I climbed

aP j "Ma, do you see that woman down
| there?" pointing down the canoon. I
of grub left in our basket we went to
the park and ate our suppers. Then
wen went down to the dock and to
the Mission V. fa. .(.a. After
the meeting was over we were tired
enough to go home. Well, I expect
this letter is long enough, so I will
close. Best wishes to the Ntews and al
its readeres. Goodbye,

We came to a place where the
stairs were broken down and we had
to wind around the side of the moun-
tain to the top ot the steps. 1 wa3
getting pretty tired so I proposed go-
ing back. We couldnt go clear to ihe
top anyhow, on account of the bridges
or steps being out.
There were falls about every 100
feet, and they ranged from one foot
to 30 feet in depth of all, I should
judge from their looks. We were told
that we were’about 15,000 feet above
the sea level whore we were. There j
was a man there taking pictures and j
| we had ours taken in front of one
I of the falls. It commenced to sprinkle
and we hurried back before it rainci
j as wo would have a hard time Blidin'i
-down the steep places in the rain.
I We got back about two o'clock and
there was a oar waiting. We got In
it and In fifteen minutes we wore go-
I ing home. When we reached Los
Angeles wo got off the car and wont
I to the house where Mr. Bi'ftsaflelds
I lived when they were there before.

look for them very long. We wont
