PIONEER DAY AT GARFIELD.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought TO mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
In the days Of auld lang syne."

Sc ttlement of Salt Lake Valley will be

style
The pioneer MILFORD Woodruff, who is
at this writing thu President of the
Mormon Church, in his diary thus de-
scrites their second days explorations,
Tuesday, July 81, 1847: 1--WE again
started on our exploring expedition.
All the members of the
quorum of the Twelve belong
ing to the Pioneers, eight in
number, were of the company. Six
others of the brethren, including Bran
nan, of San Francisco, wers with US.
We started for the purpose OF visiting
the Great Salt Lake and mountains on
the west of the valley. We travelled
two miles west from the Temple Block.
md came to the outlet of Utah lake;
thence fourteen miles to the west
mountain, and found that the land was
not so fertile as On the east side. We
took our dinner at the fresh water pool,
and then rode six miles 10 large rock
on the shore of the Great Salt LaGe,
which We named Back Rock, where We
all hated and oathcdin the salt water.
No person could sink in it, but would
roll and float on its surface like dry
log. We concluded that the Great Salt
Lake was one of the wonders of the
world"
1t is fitting and proper thaS forty one
years after this event, the old pioneers,
their descendants aud friends should
celebrate on nearly the same spot
where Great Salt Laka7 was declared
'one of the wonders of the world" In
stead of driving out by team or horsr-
back, as your foretathers did, the Utah
Il Nevada will run eight trains and
and yeu at the Beach in forty minutes.
Instead of finding lonesome, desolate
spot, you wil'knd one of the most COM
piete bathing resorts in the world,
throDged with, its Thousand daily Wis
itors.
