An Organ Recital in the Nor

Salt Lake City, Sept. 22-From a
standpoint of human interest, Gov.
Roosevelt's visit to Salt Lake City
yesterday was the most interesting,
both from a political and social point
of view, of any that he has yet made
on his long tour. On his return from
a gallop with the rough riders he Wis
tied the famous Mormon tabernacle
to listen to an organ recital by Prof.
Daynes. During the morning Gov.

structed between Salt Lake and
cheyenne, distance of $50 miles. At
the Salt air pavilion in the afternoon
