And on tht second evening out of Los Angeles' as his special paused in Dodge City, Scotty dispatched this telegram to President Theodore Roosevelt: AN AMERICA COWBOY IS COMING EAST ON A SPECIAL TRAIN FASTER THAN ANY CCWPUN CHER EVER RODE BEFORE.

The special thundered into Williams at 1:28 a.m. and another powerful Ten-Wheeler took Jyer. There was another Prairie waiting at Winslow and still another Ten-Wheeler at Gallup. All along the railroad the Santa Fe had its best engines ready to wheel Death Valley Scotty to Chicago faster than any man had ever gone.

Aboard each engine and back in the care were competent, confident railroaders quiet, sincere men who brought the Coyote Special into each division point weU ahead of its incredible schedule and saw it on its way again in scant seconds. As the train passed over the turnout to the yard at Albuquerque with the briefest shudder, Division Superintendent Gibson pocketed his watch and smiled for the first time since hed climbed aboard at Seligman. "Mr. Scott." he said, I ve brought you over the Albuquerque Division 34 minutes faster than any train went over it before. The Coyote Special had erased and bettered Gibsons own estimated running time by four minutes! The big engines took over at Albuquerque a relay of three 1200-class Pacifies, massive two: the cab of the 1005 was searing.

Gallagher braked the train to a stop at Needles at 7:17 p.m., and the 1005 yielded to a like engine, the 1010, impatient for the touch of Fred W. Jackson's gloved hand on the throttle. While Jackson sped them out of Needles, the Scott party sat down to a late dinner.

Young man, the Santa Fe will put you into Chicago in 46 hours if steam and steel will hold together. Weve got the roadbed, the equipment and the men dont forget that. But let me tell you that youll be riding faster than a white man ever rode before!" John J. Byrne, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe, looked at the roughly clad man who had come into his Los Angeles office, had displayed a roll of bills and had said, "Mr.

Byrne, I've been thinking some of taking a train over your road to Chicago. I want you to put me there in 46 hours. Kin you do it? Byrne fingered the $5500 the man had paid unhesitatingly for the special train, glanced again at ment surveying party, around the i Scott, and hed assigned an excellent chef named Geyer to the Return From Church Convention The 58th- Annual Convention of Che Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Los Angeles was held January 27 in Los Angeles at St. Pauls Cathedral. Delegates to the Convention representing St.

Margarett Guild of the womens auxiliary of the Church of St. John the Evangelist of Needles were Mrs. Burton Thomas and Mrs. S. D.

Wilson. The ceremonies began with a procession of vested clergy into the cathedral, where Bishop Francis Eric Bloy. spiritual leader of the diocese, celebrated Holy Communion. The St. Luke's Boys' Choir of Monrovia sang.

The bishop then presided over the business sessions following the devotions, as delegates began voting on nominations for convention and diocesan officers. About 500 clergy and laymen of the diocese attended the convention, which considered, among other matters, the place of women in church administration and the future of Los Angeles area Episcopal parochial schools. The Rt. Rev. Richard Ainslie Kirchhoffer, Bishop of Indianapolis, and Mrs.

St. Elmo Coombs of Pasadena, retiring Diocesan Auxiliary president, delivered the main addresses at St. Pauls Cathedral. In Bishop Kirchhoffers brief but interesting sermon he said, "In our confusion and frantic search for the tangibles of life we forget about the important intangibles. The intangibles which are basic to the domestic household are just as basic to the household of God a sense of belonging for all members, forgiveness and love.

We expect God to love us even when we are most unlovable. We do the same for our children but we should extend this love to our fellow men. The local delegates, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Wilson report that the convention was not only interesting but vastly educational as well.

It was of the new Agamies, to the 'a coupling with the Cr.yr,:.: Special mountains well into the morning when Coyote Special. On hearing of her husband's assignment, Geyers wife had protested that some other man perhaps should break his neck for such a fool stunt. But Geyer replied in his thick accent, "If dot man in der enchine can stan dit to pull der train, I can stand it to ride behind him yet! The menu he served was typical of Fred Harvey, with entrees designed to please the outdoorsman guest of honor: Caviare Sandwich a la Death Valley; Iced Consomme; Porterhouse Steak a la Coyote, two inches thick and a Marvel of Tenderness; Broiled Squab on Toast, with Strips of Bacon au Scotty; Stuffed Tomatoes; Iced Cream with Colored Trimmings; Cheese; Coffee; Cigars.

But eating such succulent dishes aboard a hurtling diner was next to impossible. Three miles out of Needles the train whiplashed on a curve and Geyer's splendid supper crashed to the floor. Up front, the engine crew had both injectors going to feed water to the boiler, although their train was light and would have been easy to pull at speeds. Jackson rolled her along at a mile a minute or more. And he was going nearly that fast a fantastic thought when the Coyote Special boomed across the high, spindly Colorado River bridge and into Arizona.

And so the Coyote Special ran on winged wheels through the 1211 highballed out of Albuquer que with Scottys three cars and began to climb through Apache Canyon toward Glorieta Pass. Once the train was over the top, the pace down the mountain precluded all movement back in the Pullman. With the mileposts zip-pjng past one a minute and the train whipping around reverse curves, it was fruitless to get out of the seat One passenger got up and as the train lurched his shoulder crashed through the window. A banjo-eyed, thoroughly jened dining car waiter expressed his concern: "Ahs seen a lot ob railroadin, fus an' las, but ruri-nin lak dis is plub ridiculous jes plumb ridiculous!" But Scotty had said Chicago in 46 hours, and Chicago in 46 hours or better it was going to be. Shortly after 3 p.m.

For 300 miles Death Valley Scotty raced across the high plains at an 'average of better than 70 miles an hour.

At La Junta the mountains the crowd that he knew would be waiting. A third Prairie engine took the train at Seligman and started the first round of the battle against the joined forces of time and the three rocky barriers -the Arizona Divide, Glorieta Pass and Raton Pass that lay ahead, There was little desire for or country and the world as a fider for Buffalo Bill Cody, and finally back to Death Valley, the vast sink-hole of undeserved fame that gave him his nickname. He wasnt exactly one to avoid publicity, and was, in fact, known as a colorful character out of the wilderness, a man obsessed with the idea of speed, even before he startled John Byrne and the Santa Fe with his proposition of a speed run to climax all speed runs. For Death Valley Scotty wasnt the first to utilize the fast track of the Santa Fe as a means of racing time or tradition.

Nellie Bly, a girl reporter on the New York World, started it with a publicity stunt in 1890. On a a final lap of a 72-day race around the world, Nellie went from Los Angeles to Chicago in 69 hours. Then in 1900 A. R. Peacock, vice-president of Carnegie ft Iron Company, chartered a two car special which was in Chicago 57 hours 56 minutes after it left Los Angeles.

H. P. Lowe of the Engineering Company of America raced from New York to Los Angeles in 1903 to be at the bedside of a sick relative, setting a new record of 52 hours 49 minutes over the Santa Fe. Walter Scott arrived at La Grande Station minus only the fanfare to the make the occasion complete; he spoke briefly to the assembled crowd and climbed aboard the Pullman Muskegon. The Santa Fe was ready to shatter all these running records with the Coyote Special.

Forty six hours in 1905 was good time considering that when the Santa Fe put on its weekly transcontinental De Luxe at $25-a-person extra fare In 1911 it established its running time as 63 hours. Scotty was accompanied by his attractive wife; Frank Newton Holman, a Santa Fe man sent along to chronicle the event for all time; and Charles E. Van Loon, a press association correspondent. His train was three cars a baggage car, a diner and the Muskegon. Ahead of him lay a Santa Fe Railway primed as it had never been primed before to speed him on his way.

There was hardly a man who would ride the train, prepare its engines or watch it storm past from inside some desert telegraph office who was not ready for it. Assigned to handle the throttles of the specials engines were "The Nervy Nineteen, the roads best engineers who, as Holman wrote, had been picked because they thought there were no curves in the Santa Fe! Out of Los Angeles it was John Finaly on the seatbox of the 442, a. big Ten-Wheeler, a good engine to maintain the specials killing schedule over the hills between Los Angeles and the desert. Finlay loosed the reins and let his steed run. The Coyote Special left Los Angeles and sped through the cluster of little towns along the right of way with Finlay whistling constantly at the cheering, waving throngs which lined the track.

Hardly had the trip got under way when Scott, his companions and Conductor George Simpson felt the urgent grab of air brakes under the sleeper. Simpson rushed to the vetibule and peered ahead toward the engine. He saw the fireman clinging to the rushing engine. A tank Box has gone hot on us, the conductor told Scotty. "The firemans playing the hose on it! Soon the hotbox cooled and Finlay pulled back on his throttle, determined to regain the precious mometns the bad journal had cost.

He trimmed 10 minutes off running time to San Bernardino, where a helper engine clamped its coupler to the 442s to help lift the train to the top of Cajon Pass. Higher and higher, with the pair of stacks rending the sky, the Coyote Special climbed through the eroded formations of California's big hill.

Allness of Spirit Christian Science Lesson-Sermon God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." These words of Jesus from John (4:24) are the Golden Text of the Sunday Lesson-Sermon on "Spirit in all branches of The Mother Church. That Gods love can be utilized and enjoyed through spiritual understanding is assured in Johns first epistle (4:12,13) where he writes, If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of His Spirit Mary Baker Eddy writes in 'Science and Health with Key to the "Spirit, God, has created all in and of Himself.
