1t is three weeks to-day since left Salt
Lake. While the facilities for travelling
are great, there is need of further inn
provement, which must and will be met.
1t is safe to prophesy that within two
years the time between Chicago and Salt
Lake will be cut to, say, forty hours. The

In Chicago. 1t is in truth a wonderful
city. The way people rush about makes
one dizzy, and the amount of hash con-
sumed and the places where served is
another wonder. No man in Chicago
goes home to the midday meal; all lunch
down town; and the women, dear crea-
lures, feeling that it is not good to be
left alone, just throw on their traps and

There certainly is an absence of the care
