DALI LAKE. CITi, Oct. II, 1876. 5
EpITon IspErENDENr-Drenry, gloomy
and tlisagrecablo is this day. Since
leHving Elko I Ind nothing to do. in
fact, conld do nothing. owing to the
bOisterous weather. anil there is mo
prospect Of an improvement In the
latter. At. r.s .r.t .. .. e.
.. WELLS u. =
observed that there Is On extensive
change being male in the arrangement
Of nffnira in nnI about the works Of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. Mr..
Michel has been notified to muYe his
hote! back to the present location OF
the stores md other business houses,
and the space occupied Iy his house is
being filed with side trucks, prcunr-
ntory to changing the divisions Of the
road. Poor old Tonne is no longer to
DO division end. and will be abau-
doned by the Railroad Company. All
the machine shops, etc., now there will
'e taken TO Wells. aud the latter place
made the terminus of the Humboldt
division. Az matter Of course this
greatly pleases the Wellsites, but the
Toanoans aro fnr from jubilnnt over the
change. ........ ..- ..- .
cORISSE
IL dull--sO much worse Than Elko that
there il no comparison to he made be-
tween tho two places. Why it is SO
dull, could not see, rs there is any
Indication Of business III and about the
town. On Wednesday last there were
about fifty teams lOnding for Montana,
nnd us many moro were coming down to
load, and within fifty miles of town,
with plenty Of freight for them nil.
The plnco is we'll supplied with all
classes If business houses, but all alike
complain Of tho dullness Of the times.
The Central Hotel, Messrs Nickum 4
Son, propreitors, is the headquarters
for the people Of the "Durg by the
lIenr," and is well worthy Of its pnt-
ronage, supplying customers with every
accommodation necessary to conve-
nience. Corinne boasts Of bank, two
forwarding firms, numerous stores Of
the dry goo,ls. clothing, provision and
produce persuasion, three churches, two
telegraph Offices, two livery stables, two
hotels, several saloons. md last but not
least, n furo game. and in point Of pop
ulnti0n Is hut little below Elko, but the
latter is worth half dozen OF the
former.
OGDEN,
At present, il a much afflicted commu-
nifty, suffering from M epidemic attack
Of smallpox. There nre many cases
Of the disease in town, but nothing like
tho number reported at points west of
there. The authorities are doing all in
their power to prevent ITS further
spread, and II is stated that but very
few ncw cases arc being discovered.
Tho Mayor, Mr.. Herrick, has issued q
proclamation, appointing special
marshal to look after the sanitary i'm
terests of tho town; tho schools have
been closedi public nssemblnges OF any
character nIe strictly forbidden, and the
town IL being thoroughly disiufected.
With a continuance Of the present
conrsc Il will be but short time before
the Fc"urSc will have disappeared. As
To
SALT LAKE,
| can say but little, as l have as yet
seen nothing Of tho place. have
heard tell of ''sea Of mud" and mn
inclined to believe that the streets of
tho city Of the SHUTS come very near
being MP to the standard OF the said
rcH; but will tlcsist from any COM
,ncnts M to II until I shall have seen
more Of It.
THE STORM
Has been very hard in this entire scc-
lion, mud trnvel by my other convey
nnco thnn cars IL very much interfrrdd
with. In tho vnlicys the fall Of rain
was Very general md heavy, whilo all
The mountain tops nro covered with
snow, in some inst Ices TO the depth Of
three or four feet, ns IL tho case in
Cottonwood Canyon. Az soon rs IL
clears up l shall edo" tho city, and
cnil then give you MY impression Of II.
