The Oneida Stake OF Zion ia one OF
magnificent distances, aud it ia nece
sary yet to hold the q isrterly confer
ences at different points so that all can
have an opportunity once year to
attend. On Sunday, July 25th, the
conference viii be held III MhIsh
Center in Marsh valley about forty
miles from mere.
IL IL wonderful how there Stakes o
Z.on have increased and the borders
of Zion lengtheued. Not many years
ago all the nlIlhsrn part OF this c1un'
Try was Cache Valley Stake oil Ilop,
which cx,euled even TO Cardstone,
Canada. Oneida, Bsnnock and two
or three other Stakes have been taken
out of CBchc and now Oneida has
furnished one more, on the west tiie
around Malaj. Yet IL IL from 90 to 40
m les or more from one part OF Oaeidg
to tho ether.
The people up here live on their
arms or ranches. as they are called
here. Iu asking the grargers or in
walking with them smvng III 'ir GropF,
they say they ara very tain this year.
Yet some OF them shipped train OF
wheat II iittle while ago nui now they
are OF the Opinion they were in too
much OF hurry, as speculatcrs ore
