no sage brush. Towns are few and far apart and

At 7 P.M. a very light snow is falling.
At 8.15 P.M. one are at Medicine Hat, a town
of some size and importance. Probably also a shift of
train crews since one stop here 20 minutes.
I retire shortly after work.
All afternoon I read Daly's Report in Guide

There is much of great importance in it, and I must
study my paleogeographic maps in the light of this
report of the entire Cordillera by Daly, Allen and
Orsdale.
