Mr. and Mrs. Venner report having
had a splendid trip home, but they
state that they were in the Sacra

thru very high waters, but came
thru safely. The conductor stated
that the flood, was caused by three
days of steady rain, and in addition
to that the snow began to melt on
the mountains, an streams of water
could be seen come down from the
mountains.
The "Feather River Canyon" was
the next interesting part of the
route, this extended over one hun
dred and fourteen miles, and in it
was a great variety of wonderful
scenery. Then in Utah the saw the
"salt beds." and ,the "Great Salt
Lake" which is located eighteen miles
west of Salt Lake City. This lake
is fifty miles wide and seventy-five
miles long with an average depth of
thirteen feet.
As they came into the state of Colo-
rado they again saw a great variety . tion pictures arranged and carried
of wonderful and interesting moun-j0ut by Emil J. Weyrich, one of the

the Tennessee Pass they were told showing the Lindbergh flight and
that they were nearing the highest ' also the pictures of the Easter ob

not the weather man frowned on
their project. The Platters are plan
ning to go to Peru Saturday where
they will meet with tlie track teams
of Peru and Auburn as well as other
of the nearby towns, if the weather
conditions will allow the holding of
