Till- UliE-KEEl'RRS' REVIEW. 



and if one dosiros to soo the renl ex- 

 tent of hee-keepinK iiosslltilitieH in one 

 of tlu" fairest climes the world affords, 

 let him take this trip. I >o not Ro sim- 

 ply liecause voii may net enouuli 'it 

 the convention to pay yon, l))it liec;nise 

 .\onr liori/on of life will lie eidarKed, 

 and because, years afterward, yon can 

 live over a;;ain (in nu-mory) one of the 

 most dcliKlitfnl trips yon ever took. 

 .Inst think of iti Yon <"in lake a car 

 in tlie morninK at I^os Angeles, and ko 

 to tlie coast and take a sea-hath. Yon 

 can then coni(> back to I.os An^t'les, 

 and cat strawberries and pick roses. 

 In the afternoon yon <'an j;(> to Pasa- 

 d(>na. a littl(> city that is even more 

 beantifnl and more perfectly laid 

 out than Los Anj^eles. where the 

 ^reat wealth of the East has been 

 ponred. Indee<l. it is almost a heaven 

 on «'artli. An honr's ride will take yon 

 np into the mountains where yon can 

 jjct alMive the clouds— yes, may take a 

 slei^hride and enjoy a good snowball- 

 ing- -lust thiidc of it! a sea-bath in 

 the morning, strawberries and roses 

 at noon, a slei);hride above the clouds, 

 and snowballing', all in one daj'! Talk 

 aliont KoinK 'from the sublime to the 

 ridiculous' I 'I'hls beats anythiuR for 

 a rapid change of season and scenery. 

 While this is possible in the spring 

 of the year, it may not be possible in 

 -Ai'trusr. 



I?ut one of the most thrilling trolley- 

 rides (dangeroiisly near precipices) 

 that can be imagin^xl is to take an 

 eh'ctric car and actually gihh' above 

 the clouds and look down upon the val- 

 ley sjiread out like a panorama thou- 

 sands of feet below. Oiie can see the 

 ocean, and the cities of Pasadena and 

 Los Angeles, and all the small out- 

 lying towns, with their line orange- 

 groves and all the beautiful luxuri- 

 ance of a tropical climate. In short, 

 he can see typical Southern Califor 

 Ilia. 



Bee-keepers, if yon fail to take in 

 a trip of this kind (and il is the oiipor- 

 tnnity of a lifetime) you will be miss- 

 ing one of life's greatest pleasures. 



The round trip frnm Cliicago is 

 $r.(l.(i(>. Kates in tlir lonrist sle..prr 

 will be very low. 1 ilo not rememiiei- 

 just now what they are; but particu- 

 lars can b(> obtaiiHMl, I think, by ap- 

 plying to Sec'y (l. W. York, 144 Erie 

 St., t'hicago."' 



I wish to i)articnl;irly emphasize 

 the following sentence: "Do not go 

 sim])ly because you m;iy get enough 

 at the conveidion to |)ay you, but be- 

 cause your horizon of lil(> will be en- 

 larged, ;iih1 because, years afterwards, 

 you can lixc over again (in memory) 

 one of the most delightlnl trips you 

 ever took." 



THE GRAND CANYON. 



A few Words Descriptive of this Great Won- 

 der of the West. 



A trip from the East to attend the 

 convention in Califoriiia is (piite an 

 ui.d<>rtaking. and will cost money. 

 leiKv the man who goes should maki^ 

 the most of it. In all of tlu< great 

 West there is prob.ably no greater sight 

 than that of the (Jraiid (Canyon on tli' 

 line of the Santa Vo railroad in 

 Arizona. These natural wonders are 

 difficult to describe, both language and 

 picture fail. From the book callctl 

 '•The Tican of Chasms" I exti-act th • 

 following picturesipie attempt at de- 

 scribing this great rent in the e.iith'-' 

 sui'face: 



"Stidid, indeed, is he who can front 

 the awful scene and view its uneai-th- 

 \\ splendor of color and foi-m withon; 

 (luaking knee or tremulous breath. 

 An inferno, swathed in soft c(>lestial 

 fires; a whoh' chaotic under-world.
