[[underlined]] Logan N.M. [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] Sept. 23. [[/underlined]] Logan is half a miles north of the Canadian river. I have taken a long tramp down by the river and got a good idea of the country. The river runs through a narrow gulch or in places almost a canyon 135 feet deep where the R.R. bridge crosses it with rocky (sandstone) walls in places. The country is rough & full of gulches & side canyons for some distance back on both sides & abrupt escarpments show in the distance to the south. 

The N.E. slopes of the valley are covered with junipers, the S.W. slopes with mesquite, Mimosa (like biuncifera), Rhus microphylla, & aromatica, Altis, Opuntia arborescens & lepticaulis. Yucca glauca, guterrizia & grasses cover the whole country. In other words the sheltered S.W. slopes are strongly Lower Sonoran while the cold slopes are purely Upper Sonoran as are the grassy plains higher up. Thus a mixture of zonal species are carried up the river valley with apparently as much Lower Sonoran as at Tascosa.
