To the Editor of the Enterprise: Dear Sir:-- I again beg leave to use the columns of your paper to reach our many friends and acquaintances with an account of our return trip from California. After having spent six months in its genial climate, and visited a number of places, including the noted pleasure resort of Hotel del-Monte, Monterey and Pacific Grove, also Watsonville, Castroville, Pagars and Mass Landing, we, leave Salinas Citv on Thursday, April 9th at 11.35 a. m. by the Southern Pacific R. R. to San Jose, where we stop over a few hours and see the Paradise of California. After passing through the Santa Clara valley with its immense fruit ranches comprising a great variety of fruit, with the trees in full bloom, the sar-gent ranch, the Miller estate, the Gardens of Rea, we arrive at San Martin, where the flowers are on both sides of the train, and over the fields. At 1.45 p. m. we make Morgan Hill, a very pretty town at the foot of a high mountain, where apricot, prune and peach orchards and vineyards are very much in evidence. Madrom is the next town situated in a live o park, where the gran and grain very luxuriant and to the east 1 mountains are literally covered with California poppies, the State flower. Now we pass through cherry, olive, peach, apricot, prune, pear and apple orchards, white as snow with blossoms. If this is not an "earthly Paradise"I don't know what is. Coyafce is the next reached, and on to Edendale, the proper name for it is a literal gardt of Eden. The Murphy Mansion and grounds, with the ucalpitus, palm aud other trees, competing with Del Monte for magnificence, are here tail and stately. The Lick observatory to the east on a lofty range twenty- five miles away looks about five, and after pass ing Santa Clara, the valley widens out to thirty miles of level plain covered with the most luxuriant growth of vegetation. A halt at Lawrence and Sunnyvale, we arrive at Mountain View, the sceneiy growing finer the farther we go. To the right the Stat* Asylum and to the left the Stanford University, comprising thousands of acres valued at $400 an acre. Polo Alto, the next town, denotes great wealth, Menlo Park, the most aristocratic town between San Jose and San Francisco we see large rose trees climbing over balcamen, covered with roses. Mt. Hamilton rises in the distance, and San Francisco Ray comes in view as we arrive in Redwood, the homes of inillionares. The scenery has now become perfectly enchanting, San Carlos, is the next town and in fact, it seems to be town and city all along aud yet thirty miles to the Metropolis of the Pacific coast. Belmont is stopped at for a min ute, and on we fly through sycamore and Cypress groves and avenues. San Mates, the next station is a fine rich place, having salt works on the bay, and now our trouble is to look out both windows of the car at once. Burlingame comes next, having electric cars from city twenty miles out. At Milbrae we find the darkness is shutting off the view, to our regret. At San Bruno we see the great race track of California, and at San Fernido the lagoons from the ocean at high tide. The ninth train from the city has just passed us, since we left San Jose, carrying home the Suburban residents. We have now left the valley and are rising over the hilly district for eleven miles to the city. The "Hills of Eternity" cemetery on our right looks like a sea of white marble. Colma is the next place in the suberbs of San Francisco, ten miles, the place of millionares. At 7.35 p.m. we enter Townsend street depot and take electric car for Win Chester Hotel, secure rooms and take a trip through Market street and other parts of the city until 11 p. m. after which we retire, quite wearied. Friday morning, April 10th, we begin our tour of sight seeing. The Call building, 17 stories, built by Claus Spreckels, the inilliormre sugar king. The Palace Hotel and the Emporium take our attention as they are among the largest buildings we have yet seen. We 'ake electric car for the Cliff House which is built right out over the cliffs, with the waves of the Pacific rolling UDder is made very exciting, in connection with which a zoological garden, containing a large number of animals and reptiles, after which wo return to the city and visit several more points of interest, and finish up at the S. P. R. R. Co.'s office in the Palace Hotel, to secure tickets for birth, before crossing the Bay to Oakland, where we make a start for our long trip across the continent, a fine run of five miles, on the S. P. Co.'s elegant steam ferry, among the islands and vessels, brings us to our tourist train, and after a run of 35 miles, we take ferry over an arm of the Bay for a mile to Benicia. At 9 p. m. our porter prepares our berth and we must de&ist from our observations. At midnight we are awakened by the frequent stopping and slow rate of the train, and the moonlight reveals to us that we are on the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and we find by the heavy snow which is a foot deep with trees loaded, that we are in arctic weather At 6 a. in. Saturday ing April 11, we arrive at Truckee, 209 miles from San Francisco with an elevation of 5819 ft. and the riows are frosted over. We pass through miles of snow sheds and tunnels. We follow the Truckee River through some very sublime scenery and pass through thirty-four different places during the ight, including thecity of Saci After passing several small t Rons at i 244 miles oi. the road the ' fine ing up and div fording us a To. he right i here we cross the State Nevada. The name of the next station. Desert, is appropriately named, for the mountains and valley if barren and desolate looking region, but still interesting, the summit of Ihe mountains being white with snow. At 10 a m. we rrrive at Wadsworth, with an elevation <>f 4193 ft.,270 mile? from San Francisco and 563 miles to Ogilen, the terminus of the S. P. Line. The gorge through the Sierras has now widened out into a vast expanse of sandy desert, without a sign of htimaii habitation, but the road-bed ' good and we begin to make better speed, which we relish as this dreary waste has nothing on it but stunted sage brush, not even crows sparrows or potato bugs, no better place for a suicide to jump off. After a view of a hundred miles, the sand has given place to a sort of white clay or Alkali and looks like a sprinkling of snow. We have now arrived at Nevada Hot Springs, with columns of steam arising to a great height. At 1.30 p. m. we halt at Humbolt ten minutes for luuch, 374 miles from San Francisco and 459 to Ogden, elevation 4276 ft. We arrive at another oasis in the desert, Wiunemuca, a coaling station and junction of railroads The monotony of the desert has now been relieved, for the time being, but arriving at Battle.Mountain 5 p.m. an elevation of 4513 ft. The moun-the right are having a snow storm, to add to their already white mmits, which hints to us that we may have started back to Canada a little too soon. 6.80 p. ru. at Gerald, with elevation of 5423 it lying in a canyon with lofty mountains on either side, our course so curving as to give i a sight of our engine every few inuits, the scenery has again become ichanting the full moon peeping over e crest of the peaks, as if to lead us i, Palisade, at T. P. M. elevatioii 5847 ft. and still climbing up by followiug the wmdisgof a river as it flows down the canyon. As night closes in on us, we emerge from the mountain range and again take on to the barren, desolate waste of sand. At daybreak Sunday morning we find ourselves 780 miles from San Francisco having made a run of 300 miles during the night and the same monotonous plain with the snow capped mountains in the distance. At 5.05 a m. wo got our first view of Great Salt Lake at Promantory on the northern arm of the lake. 6.25 we arrived at the city of Odgen 841 miles from San Francisco and at 7 35 a. in. we take on the Rio Grande Western R. R. for Salt Lake city having at last] left the desert and pass through a fertile valley to the south east the numerous houses, orchards aud large herds of cattle affording us quite a relief from the dreary plain. At 8.30 we arrive at Salt Lake City take an observatson car and make a tour of the city. The Mormon temple and tabernacle being the chief objects of interest. At 2 p. in. we attended the Easter Service iii the tabernacle with a congregation of 6000 people and a choir of 500 voices. The organ) imed to be tl the U. S. themusi allyfi bells iu the ceiling which makes the sound so perfect as to hear the drop ofapintothe farthest end The seating capacits is 10.000 and the exit can be made iu 2i mimtits through 12 doors around the sides, it was planned by Brigham Young, whose bronze statue surmounts the pinuicle of the temple. The church grounds cover a space of ten acres surrounded by a concrete wall fifteeu feet high We also saw the house where the Prophet died aud the palace he built for his favorite, wife Amelia, recently purchased by a wealthy miner for $150,000. We then make our way back to our train very much impressed with Mormonism. 9.25 p. m. we board the Rio Grand Western for Grand Junction pass through a ferti tract of country to Provo at 10 f re for the night. Awakenin oonlight we discover by wa of change that we have sagebush an sand by the millions of acres, think when "Uncle Sam" annexes t Canada he needn't take any pains I bring along his desert for it wou raise either Polar bears or Esquimau: The sage bush of Utah is a poors crop than it is in Nevada, which : quite needless. At 7 a. in. Monday April 13th we weie at Ruby whei the desert lias given way to mountains of rock which are very pretty. Our course is through a canyonj winding along the course ot the Grand River until we arrived at a more fertile spot called Fouita having s fruit trees aud where we got some fine apples. We now cross the State line into Colorada and at 7.45 arrive at Grand Junction the teimiuus of the Rio Grand Western system 1160 n from Sau Francisco aud having an elevation of 4504 ft. 317 miles from Salt Lake City having passed sixteen places during the night at one of which called Soldiers Summit, we attained an altitude of 7464 feet. At 8.05 we take on the Denver and Rio Grand system for Denver, 424 miles. At 8.50 a. in. we make the tnunel,as we follow the courso of the Grand River where the scenery has been grand as the name of the river denotes even eclipsing the photos we of it. (To be Continued.)
