when morning csme we were 10 the
land Of the Latter-day Saints and our
gentle curiosity found active employ
ment 10 looking out for real Mormons
but though We doubtless saw many, ,
they wore no outward badge Of the
sect. We reached Ogden for an early |
break last ana a good one too. Here
We realized that we were approaching
the land of fruit. the breakfast table
being profoundly supplied with melons,
peaches and pears, all Of the richest
quality. Ogden appears from the
depot to be q well built and flourish
ing city, the population, 1 was told,
being about 1900. II Is singular
fact that neither the population town
or the circulation of q newspaper can
even be stated with any degree Of
exaetness. II is always "AbOut."
AT Ogden we were met by q recep-
tion committee from the Sal: Lake
Chamber Of Commerce, and learned
for the first time that a full program
had been arranged for our entertain>
ment during our stay in Lion. The
committee presented Us with hand
sOmely gotten up programs, setting
forth the engagements Of each dav and
hour, and supplemented this exhibi-
tion OF courtesy by the assurance that
the freedom OF the city was ours dur
ing our stay. Anolher agreeable
feature was the appearance at Ogden
OF gentleman acting for the hotels at
ssIt Lake City where we were TO stop,
who then aud there assigned us our
rooms aud gaze us checks flr them,
thus avoiding all confusion on arri-
val.
Leaving Ogden with hunger APP

We were whirled rapidly southwark
over Mr.. Gould's great trans-continen-
tai line, one Of the agreeable features
Of which Is the musical VIII stle with
which each locomotive is equipped,
Tnsse adjuncts to agreeable travel are
composed Of tbr individual whistles
so hsrmoniously attuned ss to make
IL pleasure to hear them, and invite
comparison with the diseordant shri
