Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 January 1894 — “A Sovereign Spectacle." [ARTICLE]

“A Sovereign Spectacle."

A letter iu the Salt Lake Tribune, describing the snow*storms in the Sierras, says: “The flakes comedown as large as a man’s palm. Thbv catch and cling to the limbs of thp glorified pines and turn them into temples. The trunks of the great trees are the pillars while all above is a mass of exquisite work in green and while. There are festoons and streamers, and the soft soughing of the wind comes to the ear like the mntHed beat of the breakers upon a low coast. It requires strong nerves not to be impressed with the immensity and wild grandeur of everything around. When a mountain storm sounds all its solemn pipes and start* upon the march, it is a sovereign spectacle.” '
