18 approaching train was within a few feet of the building (behind which it would pass) before I made the exposure. - Another picture, to the northeast, showing the station and a part of the train. - Another, from the platform for freight unloading, showing the head of the train and a few cars. - The local constable, friend of mine, pulled a good one while I was taking this last picture - on forbidden ground: "You needn't hide under that focussin' cloth; we seen you when you come in!" Later in the day I went through the train - a marvel of convenience and efficiency. How silly it will make appear the old-time statistical sheet "Tons per Passenger per Mile"; formerly it was not uncommon to roll two tons or more of carriage facility for each passenger. On my return I took what I hope will prove to be a pleasing photo of the court house: an oblique across its pillared front, in perpendicular panel. June 16 Five photographs: depot; Gering Hotel; three of beet-sugar factory. June 18 A pleasant hour in the evening with Mrs. (don't remember' she is our Gering finisher of amateur photos); took with me fifty prints or so. She is desirous of getting some pointers about the use of transparent colors; and we have arranged for an evening with slides sometime soon. Have data; notes not completed
