SALT LAKE AND Los ANGELES,
The Common Council of the
SANITY City Coming Hither.
They Will Arrive Here Monday Morn
in at 8 O'Clock.
Their Object Is a General Inspection of
the Public Buildings In the Lead
ing Cities of the Pacific
Coast Notes.

Ihe common council of the city oI
Salt Lake are out on a junketing tour
for the purposes of which they voted
S2OOO out of the city treasury. The
prima facie object of this trip is an ex.
animation of the public buildings in all
the principal cities of the Pacific coast.
They left the city of the Saints on Sun
day the 22d instant, and will reach here
at $3.50 next Monday morning. They
are travelling in the Pullman car La
Grande, and were to have arrived in
Portland on the Gath, whence they
would so across to Puget Sound, visiting
Tacoma and Seattle. They come thence
to San Francisco and remain there two
Gays, starting from that point on the
z9th, at ga. M, and reaching this city
at breakfast time on Monday. 1t has
been arranged that our city council will
meet In the morning at the usual hour,
aoJourning at noon until next day, in
order to give them the opportunity to
snow the Salt Lake council about the
CITY and its environs. The visitors
should be given cordial reception.
All this looks towards a renewal of
the old entente cordial which existed in
the olden days which our pioneers are
90 fond of recalling. Up to 1869 Salt
Lake received the greater portion OF her
supplies from this city with San Pedro
as lts sole entrepot. Steamers arrived
at San Pedro, whence wagons carried
the goods to this city, and then came
the long and dangerous journey on
mules from this place to Salt Lake.
Each mule had two panniers or aparejos
on his back, and these contained about
I0O pounds on each side. There was q
large corral that stood at the corner of
First and Spring streets, where Remi
Nadeau corralled his mules and where
he accumulated the bulk of his fortune.
From this corral, within go hours after
the Senator's arrival at San Pedro,
mules used to come forth heavily laden,
by the score, bound for the land where
q Jew is called a Gentle.
The completion of the Central Pacific
railroad, which meets the Union Pacific
at Ogden, put an end to all that. Our
Mormon customers went elsewhere to
buy their goods and the mules lay down
to die in the abiding hope of better
world, where the cookie burros cease |
from troubling and the weary are at |
rect. But now Salt Lake wants nearer |
outlet to the sea. She is but 26 hours
from Santa Monica and Redondo, as
against SO hours from San Francisco;
md there are tsngents on the proposed
ms OF location where speed OF 20 miles
IN hour could be kept up for three
louTs consecutively, which might re-
luce the schedule to "a hours. This is
n age in which every mile shortened
8 SO much gained, for "time is money"
Let our people welcome the Salt
saksrs snls sfs.a shserily iy and gys them good inn
and and silence. Their intereste are in
common with our own, and we can well
,ome them as representatives of homo
,sneous people. Utah is an irrigation
olonv, and go is Southern California.
There is already strong bond of unity
n sentiment between US, which will be
trengthened by iron bnnde within the
lext four years. Following is list en-
