!. the iron horse.
On the train when we left Utah'
chief city were about 20 passengers
Quite humber were young people
returning from school to spend tn,
SABBATH at their homes out Of town
others were called TO travel fol
various objects, and each presented
a subject for the physiognomist.
In one car the individual that at.
tracted the most attention was an
Irishman. The Irish attract atten.
ton everywhere from numerous
causes. This one was dark complex
Toned, had low forehead, small eyes
-set far back, a nose the end
Of which looked like n large car
buncle, and prominent jaws. With
him were his wife-everybody knew
that by the commanding way in
which he addressed her-a sweet
looking little creature with blonde
hair and large blue eyes, and three
children ranging from one to five
years Of age. The ruler Of this little
Hook seemed out Of sorts from some
cause, and only awaited opportunity
to give vent to his feelings. The
chance occurred when the conductor
came along. Paddy demanded that
a seat be unlocked and turned to face
the other direction. The conductor
looked at him, said he had no key,
and remarked that the seat was fac
ing in the right direction-toward
the front Of the train. Then Paddy
started; his language was not very
/ choice, but the stream ofadverse crit
/ icism that poured forth upon railway
men in general, and Union Pacific
employees in particular, set the
/ whole lot OF passengers Ia laughing.
I In the midst Of Ii all there was a
vein Of sympathy for the little wo-
man who, in an undertone, did her
utmost to pacify her loni and master
and persuade him to be quiet, her
face suflused in bushes the while, as
she felt keenly the ridiculous spec
tacle he was making Of himself; the
si!ent pleading Of the children unit
ing with the mother as they looked
intentlysapon the fathers face. The
family uere en- route for Park CITY;
this Concluded from the fact that
when We nrached Ogden. and the
brakeman called out, ''This car goes
through TO Park City," they re-
tanned their places in il.
Among the other passengers was
a tall. slender man. / think l saw /
him in Evanston once. His face /
was long and thin, and his beard !
was much longer, and WAS strea ked |
with gray. He looked as though he |
might have been the editor Of a |
Wyoming weekly paper once, and |
had failed in collecting the sub
seTiplions.
Numbered among the occupants |
OF the chair ear was Hon. 4. Matt !
land StenhOuse, Of Alberta, Canada,
vino has been down visiting the /
principal city Of the Saints.
We had other notabies, too, three |
Of them being members Of the board /
OF trustees OF the Agricultural Col
lcge. They were VIM. 5. McCor-
nick, the banker, and NJ. b. SOwles, /
ex-city councillor, Of Salt Lake,
and John L. Hills, U. 5. commits
sicner. OF Provo. They were going /
10 Logan 70 hold meeting aud de-
tsrmine what buildings should be
erected, and what work should be 1
done at the college this summer.
Along the route the first object Of
interest was at the Hot Springs,
the waters from which are an anti
dote for almost every form Of rheu-
mRtism, as well as many other dis
eases. There were the remains Of |
the Rio Grande Western wreck Of
April l.. The track had been
repaired, but showed the marks
Of its recent displacement. The
locomotive tender stood upright, at
right angles with the track, where
il had run when the wheels left the
rails, and near by, lying lengthUise
alongside % the track, were two cars,
AahzEh-E AAAl AAAAE-Ns OAA AAANlA EahErs
where they had been thrown by the
obstruction in front. The passenger
coaches did not leave the rails, and,
thanks 10 the automatic brakes, the
conclusion was materially weak
ened, and all Of the passengers e.
caped unhurt.
The brickyards, a few miles
nearer Woods Cross, presented n
busy scene, and form one Of the in
dicatiOns Of progress toward a thickly
settled and active business region.
From there northward on every
side were indisputable evidences Of
thrift industry and economy. Ex-
tensive fields of grain, hay and
vegetables, neat and comfortable
dwellings and OuthOuses, substantial
school and church buildings, large
orchards, and numerous irrigating
bitches in which was a plentiful
supply Of water, combined to make
a beautiful scene, and testify how
great is the work that has been per
formed by the Inhabitants.

than they did last season, indicating
the increased amount Of water in
this inland sea, whose slate-colOred
surface, as viewd from this point
makes a strong contrast with the
verdant fields near by and the
brownish colored mountains in the
distance.
On the cambridge between kays-
vile and Ogden, where formerly
sagebrush, grease-woOd, sand and
jack-rabbits held full sway, there are
now hundreds Of acres OF grain or
land plswed for the reception of the
seed.
Ogden, the second city in Utah,
is thriving almost beyond the belief
Of those who have not beheld for
themselves. / am not partial to the
Junction City. My first introduc-
ton to it was during three days
rain storm. There were no plank
in those days, ana the
condition Of the streets and
sidewalks defied description. On
eleven different occasions since
then | have visited the place, and
on ten Of these there has been a
rain storm. The other time it was
a searching Fourth of July, and as
we rolled into the depot on n Utah
Central train, one Of the msn en-
gagged in firing salute was SO badly
injured by the premature discharge
IF a cannon that he died in a few
hours.
The building boom Of Ogden has
given 1t a material start that, COM
paratively speaking, places it ahead
Df salt Lake. The managers Of the
boom finances in Ogden are men
who understand their business. AS |
an instance, one Of them, Mr..
Msyne, has advertising bills in one
month amounting 10 SIS-OOO. He ,
