Elder S. L. Adams said that as a
rule the aged portion of this COM
munity received this Gospel in lands
far off, and after they have received
the Gospel of Christ, they gather to
the gathering place of the Saints
that they might learn more fully the
principals of eternal life and par
take more fully of the blessings that
God has promised to his people,
when he commanded his people to
"come out Of her oh my people that
we receive not of her sins nor par
take of her plaques" He advised
the young to be true to the Gospel
and seek to build up the Church of
Christ upon the earth. Bore testi-
mony that the Gospel as taught by
the Latter-day Saints is true and of
God.
Elder Brigham Jarvis also knew
that the Gospel is true and desired
to so live that he may be worthy of
receiving portion of the blessings
in store for the righteous.
Elder Charles Seegmiller bore
testimony to the truth of the Cos
pei. Was pleased the aged who
had born the heat and burden Of
the day, doing all in their power to
train up the youth in the way they
should go.
Elder Vim. Atkin advised all who
profess to be Latterday Saints to
set an example that is worthy of
initiating. Also advised all to be
kind to those who are sick and to
assist all in their power to make
their burdens light, and we will
never be left without friends.

A TRIP 10 THE GRAND CANON
OF THE COLORADO.
Trumbull, Arizona

lrumDull, Arizona.
On Friday before Independ-
ence Day party of young men
paid visit to the Grand Canon of
the Colorado.
We left the mill at two O'Clock in
the afternoon and arrived at camp
within two miles of the Canon at
seven,
Now the horses are cared for, and
we start to get a glimpse of the
river before dark. The last half
mile is a race for the first view.
The canon is edged for nearly
this distance with low, fiat. red rocks;
and these crossed, the Grand Canon
of Colorado is seen in all its grand
uer.
AS one sits alone in the gathering
darkness and gazes down on those
high, perpendicular walls with their
great somber-colored lodges, and
the narrow silver stream so far be-
low he is filled with feeling quite
different from that experienced
while looking up to high peak OF
lofty pine-a feeling of horrible
dread.
The remainder of the party come
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-09-12

up now and after look all around
we returned to camp.
A volley announces that it is the
Fourth of July, and at eight we are
again at the canon.
The gulf looks nearly a mile
across and as deep as wide. The
great red and grey walls and lodges
look dull and UNMARRIED; and the
river appears small, sluggish creerk,
not nearly so wide or so rapid as
the Virgin. But what a change is
wrought over the scene by the glass!
NOW the rocks are many hued and
beautifully marked with here and
there small ferns showing the To-
cation of springs; and the stream
shows it's self broad, rushing river.
while the steady roar born upward
to the ear leaves no doubt as to the
fury and force of the foaming
rapids.
NO authentic information as to
the size of the stream is obtainable
out here; but near Evanston, Wyo-
ming, the Green river, as seen from
the car window, is several times as
wide as the Virgin; and before
reaching the canon, it receives the
waters of seven rivers-smOng them
the little Colorado-which certainly
does make it large river at this
place.
The measuring apparatus is
brought into use and the first cliff
proves to be eight hundred feet
high; from this the four lower ones are
reckoned to be one thousand, twelve
hundred, five hundred and five
hundred feet respectively.
The banks of the stream are
lined with bushes and grasses; while
the drifts of white sand give evil
dence of the recent high water
mark. Between the rapids are
broad, placid stretches of water, and
in the middle of Que of these stands
gigantic bolder reaching out of the
water to a heighh of nearly twenty
feet.
The effect of winchester bullet.
cannot be noticed on the water; and
though the river seems almost di.
rectly beneth, stones thrown out
fall short of it. some black hawks
by their frantic actions and loud
cries show that they have nests in
the cliffs below; and it makes one
, dizzy to see them sail out over the
yawning chasm and drop almost
directly down for hundreds of feet
They prove too wary for rifle bull
lets, and after carving our names on
the rocks we return to camp.
Dinner is over, and council is
held. The trip has been decided
success but it might be made more
fruitful. who will volunteer to be a
conrad in the attempt to reach the
river at the bottom of the canon?
Four will return to the mill
Two will return to the canon. A
! few messages are charged and with
a parting good luck to you," the
BOYS ride off.
