TEi.LS OF TH1I* TO I'AGOSA SPK1M.S COl-

Pagosa Springs, Colorado. May 14, 1920 To the Editor of the Herald and Friends in Indiana. Will write you a letter describing our trip to our new home in Pagosa Springs Colorado. We left Greencastle on March 31st at h:.'!9 A. M. and all that day we rode through the praries of Illinois and Missouri which were surely beautiful to behold. As far as your eyes could see, you could see the rich level farms, wi‘> their large dwellings and

barns.

We ! left for Denver in a very few minutes | and instead of going by way of Kr.n- j sas City as we had planned, we took | the upper road and went by Hannibal | and St. Joseph, arriving there at j 11:20 the first night. N’ext morning] it was snowing and colder, snowed until marly noon, while we were going through Nebraska. Then in the after noon we came to eastern Colorado, which was barren and thinly settled. Hut as we came to the irrigated districts, it resembled Illinois. The train conductor told us that the land was

worth to per acre. We reached Denver at 6:30 o’clock

I Going from Alamosa, to Pagosa Springs was by far the most interesting and exciting day of the trip. We were winding around on the top of the mountains, seeming as though the train would surely tumble off and as you looked down through the trees and huge rocks, you felt yourself shiver with fear. ' We went through tunnels and passed right by the side of Toltec gorge which is 1300 ft. feet deep. It sure looked a long way to the bottom. In going up the mountains we passed the same section house three times. While we were on the lower track we could look up the side of the mountain and see the

Unusual Tires

IRES that are different in their distinctive good looks and in their

construction. An extra ply of fabric, an extra heavy tread and generous . oversize make a tire of remarkable endurance.

Overland, on frozen,rough Indiana roads, did 5,452 miles in 7 days

Equal to New York to San Francisco and back to Chicago at express train speed— with no change of engines—no let up to the terrific wear and tear. It means more than a year’s abuse and not flaw; stamina, quality in every part; another demonstration of the wonderful riding qualities of the radical new Triplex Springs.

us ut the train and took us in an automobile to his home, where we enjoyed a delicious supper of beefsteak and brown gravy and other eats which good housewives like Mrs. Vermillion know how to prepare. The following evening we secured two furnished rooms at the Spring Hotel which we are still occupying. Pagosa Springs is the county seat of Archeleta County, has a population of 1200 people and is 7000 feet above the sea level. It is surrounded by mountains, the lower ones being wood ed to their summits with Spruce and Pine -while Pagosa Peake, Saddle mountain, Oil mountain, and Squara Top mountain which tower 1200 to 1400 feet above the sea level are covered with snow. The San Juan river wends it way through the town. The rivers here are very swift. Then comes the wonderful hot spring,large as a pond with its boiling hot water bubbling up all the time. To drink its water and take the baths is almost a sure cure for rheumatism, kidney and stomach trouble. There are many small holes and surrounding them the surface is honey combed and looks as if white ashes had been scattered over it. The springs are certainly a natural wonder a constant flow of steam is coming up from them and they are worth making a

trio to see.

hen we first came we had several snow flurries hut the sun would come ent and it was soon gone. In ha'f a div the e-round was drv.The sun has shown almost every day since we came but the nights are very cool. There is no fruit grows here except small fruit like henies.

KESTERSON HOME IS DAMAGED BY FIRE

from George Christie was driven to Indianapolis there is little doubt. The car which was left standing in front of the Christie residence on Walnut street, was taken some time after 1:30 o'clock as it was seen standing in front of the house at about that time. At near 2:30 o’clock a farmer living east of Filmore who had been called out to assist in getting a truck which had mired down at the side of the road, out of the mud. saw the stolen Sedan. The machine was headed east toward Indianapolis.

Airs. Alonzo Cook and daughter Lillian who have been spending the winter in Phoenix, Ariz., returned to their home in this city on Thursday. Cloyd Cook who was also in Phoenix with his mother went to Colorad > Springs and will remain there for an extended visit.

The h< jie of Dan esterson on east Franklin street was badly damaged by fire a- near noon today when the kitchen caught fire from an overheated stove. The entire kitchen and contents were destroyed. Mrs. Kesterson who was washing had gone into the front part of the house and upon returning discovered the fire. She closed the door leading to the other part of the house and prevented the fire from spreading. All the furniture was carried into the yard before it was damaged from the fire or the water. The fire was extinguished by the fire department with out further loss. So far Judge Hughes has taken no action in regard to the sentence of Robert Pierce, a DePauw student, who has pleaded guilty to passing several worthless checks in Greencastle. Th>' boy’s father was here tod.iv from Greenfield accompanied by an attorney.
