ed. the Utah Press Association Is un-
der inexpressable obligations for court
estes extended. The people OF the Pa
clnc coast are large-hearted broad
minded and enterprising, and the pos
slbilities OF the regions which they
represent are beyond all present COM
putotion. The equable climate which
they enjoy does not appear TO affect
their vigJr, as some people suppose
but the snap and force and intellect of
The northeast are added to the breadth
Of view which is feature Of the people
IN the west and northwest, making
them most agreeable as well as ac-

rolling laundering surf, make up
panoramic pictures very grateful
to eyes accustomed to the scenes
of the interior and those In
this mountainous and arid country

welcome at every point. The very
name OF Utah, instead OF striking a
chill to the western heart, seemed to
stir Il TO a warmth of greeting which
was as surprising as It was agreeable.

were "Mormons' added to the welcome
that the company numbering fifty-four,
received from the good friends Of the
Pacific coast. Utah Is regarded as one
OF the most promising States of the

great papers Of the country, up to the
times, and fair representative Of the
whole State In general as well as Of
the dominant Church in particular. To
