Travelogue of Westward Journey Through Railroads and Towns
A long, fragmented column recounts a Pendleton reporter's Atlantic to Pacific rail journey. It covers Baltimore to Washington time, the B and O route through the Alleghenies, a stay at Willard's, and a rapid Chicago stop. It narrates experiences on the Albert Lea route, Northern Pacific dining cars, and city glimpses from St Paul to Wallula. It notes Montana Idaho and Dakota landscapes, mentions Governor Swinford in Alaska politics, and lists arrivals at various towns with many names.
