LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA
ED. ROSNAGLE NOT GREATLY
IMPRESSED so FAR.

~~eSeAS~S
Editor Herald: will not say much
in regard to our trip across the prai-
ries and mountains. only that the
worst looking parts were in Minnesota
and the Dakotas. where the hay and
other crops were rotting on account Of
heavy rains. The first strange seem
cry was In the bad lands. which are
hard to describe. When passing
through Montana I beheld farming
by irrigation for the first time, and it
struck me that this is the safest way,
az one can have water when the crops
most need 1t, and also the right guam
tity Here I saw wheat in shock that
will thresh forty bushels to the acre,
that never had drop Of rain. It
looked a. If 1t would go for No. |
hard. Hay that would make four tons
per acre. OF course, I was delighted
with the mountains. but after travel
ing among them for almost three days
and nights I became disgusted with
them, and was glad when We got on
level ground once more. The only de-
pot We saw that is worthy Of
mention was at Livingston. Mon
tana. When we passed through spo-
kane, WASH, I expected to see some
fine farming country, but was dis
appointed, know I looked for two
hundred miles with no satisfaction.
There was nothing but sage bush and
pine.
At the Shasta Springs, beautiful
place. cot out and got quart fruit
jar full Of this medical water and got
all I wanted to drink. It is almost
as good as mountain dew, which we
found to be plentiful and of good
quality.
will m axe the remark here that
while we were at the highest latitude
that Mrs. Rosnagle's nose bled very
freely, and another woman in the
same car tainted, but as there was q
doctor on the train everything was
soon brought back to normal condi'
tion, and we sped on as before.
will say here to my many friends
that wanted me to write them in re-
CARDS to the country, I haven't fully
made up my mind whether it will b.
profit OF loss in regards to myself.
I thiuk that nine-tenths that would

strange to me about this. There i

A Salt Lake City correspondent
sends us clipping from Mormon
newspaper describing the family re.
union of Grandfather Merrill. This
prolific gentleman. an apostle of the
Mormon church, is the father of forty
living children, and his living grand
children number 1926. Nearly all OF
these honored the occasion with their
presence. The newspaper correspond
ent delicately suggests the harmonious
relations which subsist among the var
lous wives of the patriarch. From
the many expressions of love and es-
teen it was evident the kindliest and
best of feeling exist in the hearts of
all members of the family Many tears
of joy were shed when the different
mothers narrated the experiences OF
the early days" Incidentally one is
reminded by this story of the strange
fact, substantiated by all observers,
that the Mormon women, who have
suffered the most from polygamy, and
gained the least advantage. are the
most fanatict.l and incur,.ble adher-
ents of this abominable doctrine
