A VIEW OF THE TIMBERED PORTION OF THE BISON RANGE. ABOUT ONE-HALF THE 
10,000 ACRES IS OF THIS NATURE 
at all of the stopping points along the line. The ex- 
planatory labels which were pasted on each side of each 
car immediately attracted the attention of those near 
the stations, and if the stop was of sufficient length to 
permit, a crowd gathered quickly about the cars and 
asked many questions or climbed up to get a look at 
our strange charges. Where time and circumstances 
would permit it, we allowed some of them to peep 
through the crates at the animals near the door. 
Our train lost time in the yards at Detroit and 
through Michigan, with the result that we reached Chi- 
cago several hours late and long after the schedule leav- 
ing time for our connection over the Northwestern. 
A delay of at least ten hours seemed inevitable, but 
to our surprise we learned that the Northwestern train 
was being held for us until we could cover the inter- 
yening six miles between terminals by means of a switeh 
engine, which we accomplished in record time.
