at Fiesta headquarters, states that the
people of that town are greatly interested
in the Fiesta and are raising money to
equip float to represent Zion" in the
pageant. Mr.. Mainland asks for informa-
ton as to the conditions under which out
side cities can come in, and says ii the
terms are favorable Salt Lake will be well
represented.
Instructions were promptly forwarded
to Mr.. Wantland, giving him full informa-
ton concerning rules and regulations gov
erning floats, and assuring him that the
City of the Angels will most Hospitality
entertain the representatives Of the City
of the Saints.
The prospect of Salt Lake participating
in La Fiesta is all the more interesting in
view Of the probability OF the two cities
soon having closer commercial relations
with each other by means of a direct rail
route.
1t is long way the denizens OF Nor
mondom will have to come to see or take
part in La Fiesta, and it was hardly t. be
expected that they would send float
But they are enterprising people and are
setting good example for Los Angeles to
follow.
During the month of April Salt Lake
will have big festival OF her own in cell
ebraton of the discovery of natural gas,
which has lately been struck in that ci ty
in paying quantities, which is all the
more reason why it was hardly to be ex-
pected that she would not be represe nted
here.
Mr.. Mainland, who has taken the nat
ter in hand, is prominent citizen OF the
Mormon capital and land commission r
OF the Union Pacific railroad. He is a
pusher and will no doubt succeed in his
effort to have the city represented here by
an appropriate float.
BY and by, when the distance between
the two cities is reduced more than half
by direct line of railroad, the residents
of each may frequently be the guests of
the other during their respective fes-
tivities.
During Fiesta week last year the Inter-
national Association OF Ticket Agents
held a convention in Los Angeles, and the
delegates in attendance entered heartily
into the spirit of the festivities then in
progress. Remembering this fact, Director
General Meyberg sent an appropriately
worded invitation to the officers and
members OF the association to visit Los
Angeles again this year during Fiesta
week. AS an evidence of the appreciation
OF the courtesy and the good advertising
that will result therefrom, the following
letter just received by the Director General
is published:
PHILADELPHIA, March 4, 1895.
