where we arrived about 5 O'Clock p.

On our way to Ogden We passed
through the beautiful Cache valley,
which for fertility and productive
ness of farm products, fruits, etc.,
surpassed anything we had seen
since we left the borders of our own
state. THIS valley is sixty miles
long and will average about fifteen
miles in width.
Upon reaching Ogden, the gateway
of the Great West, we were met at
the depot in carriages, by several of
Ogden's hustling business men. and
driven around that thriving city,
which has a population of 10000,
and is growing rapidly. II untiring
energy and the indomitable enter
prise of her citizens will WIN, Ogden
will be one of the best and largest
cities IN the West.
At supper we were banqueted at
the Pacific hotel through the hospi-
tallty cf the chamber of commerce,
of which Mr.. Nelson is president,
and A. L. Richardson secretary.

luxurious quarters of the Annanlas

gang were comfortably seated inside
and On top of this large wagon, which
was said to have cost $4,000, and
were shown the sights of the famous
and historical city OF Salt Lake.
The streets are all more than hun

every street there is a row or nice
shade trees while at their roots runs a
sparkling stream of pure, fresh wa
, ter which comes down from the tops
of neighhoring snowcapped noun

the attractlveness of the city.

kindness of Mr. Eccles, agent of the
( Union Pacific railway, at Salt Lake,
E we we've furnished transportation
G out to Garfield Beach, and through
5 the hospitality of Salt Lakes clever
