SUGGESTION that the exchange of Z
visits hetueen Los Angeles and |


A SUGGESTION that the exchange of
- visits between Los Angeles and
salt Lakes commercial bodies be
not limited to the year 1908, but be made
an annual custom. was voiced during
the dinner at Lagoon last evening and
met a hearty endorsement from men
of both cities Judge o. W. Powers ad-
vanced the idea that ii would be ap-
propriate for Los Angeles to come to
salt Lake in the spring and Salt Lake
to go to Los Angeles in the winter. and
cries of Good, Good" with loud ap-
pIause that came from all quarters of
the hall made it clear that the idea
was q popular one Other speakers de-
clared in favor of the plan
The CaIifornians went to Lagoon as
guests of Senator Simon BambergeT.
The visitors took street cars at the
Commercial club and left the Lagoon
depot in d special train at ) o'clock in
the afternoon. The siXteen-mile ride
through the fertile farms of Davis
county proved an unexpected delight TO
! the visitors, who were profuSe in their
expressions of surprise at the splendid
/ agricultural prospect they beheld from
the car windows II was their first OPP
pOTtunity to appreciate what Utah
agricultural resources really are OF
the states mining actualities and posi-
bilities they had already learned much
through the Bingham trip but yester-
days ride opened new field for them
Delighted With Lagoon.
The ride was pronounced all too short.
but when Lagoon was reached fresh
surprises awaited them. They learned
that their own sunny state was not the

cent lawns. shrubbeTy and flower beds
Of the resort did not fail to evoke the
admiration of even those who lived II
| the perpetual summer.
After a brief period allowed for an
inspection of the grounds, the Callfor-
mans. to the number of about go, ana
members of the Commercial club, were
conducted to the dining tables, when
had been arranged in the old dancing
pavilion. under the personal supervision
of Mrs BambeTger and some OF her
woman friends The tables were ar
ranged in long rows across the pavilion
and were decorated with flowers and
palms. while the interior of the paVIl-
ion was draped with flags and bunting
On the platform at one end the mandO-
lin and guitar pupils of Theodore Best
were stationed. The young musicians
rendered several numbers during the
progress of the meal. and this innOva-
ton was not only a pleasing change
from the customary orchestra. but gave
the visitors a real musical treat
Senator Bamberger and Sidney BAN
berger were early on the scene TO lehd
their personal assistance to complete
the work so well started by Mrs BAN
berger The arrangements had been
planned so as to insure the comfort OF
the senator's guests in any contingency
In proof of this it was noticed that art
er all the guests had been seated doz-
/ ems of unoCcupied seats remained show
ing that even had the attendance been
larger than expected there would stlh
have been ample room for all
The dinner was marked by the same
informaIity that proved so pleasant d
| feature of the dinner at the lake the
previous evening. The evening was
pleasantly cool and the open pavilion
enabled the guests to get the full pen
eft of the mountain breeZes that came
| from the mountains TO the east Inc
only feature that caused regret was the
! enforced departure of some of the
guests who were compelled to leave at
! O'Clock i'm order to take the $50 p. m
| train on the Salt Lake Route for Los
Angeles.
The story of the affair is well summed
up in the following expression by one OF
/ the visitors
we thought you had let us enjoy all
the good things and surprises You had
! bottled up here in Utah but You GER
! tainly uncOTked another today
