meetings are continued, and grand picnic
excursion over the North Pacific Coast R.
r. is rendered
This route lies along the Kansas river for
portion of the time, and through mag
nificent redwood forest for most of the rest
Of the journey. Some Of the redwood's
have attained height of over 400 feet, and
the largest now standing is 100 feet in cir
conference.
In the evening general reception at the
Metropolitan is to be rendered the wOmans
relief corps. Saturday will take in an ex-
cursion around the Bay Of San Francisco,
with grand campfire Of combined forces
in the evening at which everybody will
drink from the same canteen" Sunday
everybody will go to church except few
of the elect, who will take in Chinatown.
Monday, August 9th, is Oakland day.
Everybody will turn themselves loose to
entertain the visitors. 1t promises to be a
red letter day for all who survive the fes-
tivities of the previous week Tuesday the
10th is the excursion to San Jose (San Ho-
say and don't let any tsnderfoot forget it,
The pears and plums and all other delicious
fruits in all their glory of richness of color
ing, and delicacy Of mellowness and flavor,
are here subject to your order.
After this parties will go to the 1osem-
lite, the Calaveras big trees and Santa Clara.
But little else remains to be seen in Califor-
mia, but this does not take in half the grand
sights which a majority of our Wichita
people contemplate. All who can Go SO
should take in the ocean trip, likewise the
Yellowstone Park, an account Of whose
wonders reads like tale of the Arabian
Knights. Just think of 20 geysers in active
play spouting mud and water $50 in the
air, and the steam ascending full 900 feet
Think of a forest Of petrified trees, some of
them as big around as house. Think of
a lake, on top of a mountain, as it were,
being the source of three different rivers,
stocked with seventeen varieties of fish,
that take their turns at the hook at the call
of next" like victims in the barbershcp
Then, shades of Tony Bruhn, think of the
waterfowl that abound on the surface of
this lake; your own meat without the aid
of decoy duck Think of temperature
in midsummer of 80 degrees; of gorgeous
sunsets, waterfalls that outrival Mnnehaha,
5000 springs of every temperature, taste,
color and quality, of region of country
with an area equal to that of Sedgwick and
Harvey counties combined, Astounding in
game, fish and all the wonders of nature
and just as nature left it, certainly one of
the greatest wonders of the world as mod
ern history records it.
Turn your minds optics to visit to the
tabernacle in MOrmOndom and comfort
yourself that every Gentle who sets foot
in the City of the Saints drives a nail in the
coffin of polygamy. The ride from Ogden
to Pueblo on the narrow guage or Denver
and Rio Grande railroad is one of the de-
lights which compensate for dreary wastes
of sage brush and lava beds, and without
an additional dollar of cost for fare you can
take in Manitou, Colorado Springs and
Denver. Was ever grander treat placed
At the disposal of any person in moderate
The like will never occur
again. The opportunity should not be
sighted without good reasons by any who
are inclined that way.
