topic Col. +. i. Holmes discusses at
length IN an interesting letter TO II.
L. A. Culmer of this city. Col. Holmes
has been absent from Utah since early
last spring in his long European trip,
and in this letter he deals particular
~ with London and the country ap.

There was a time" writes Col.
Holmes, when it could have been said
that when the old lady on Thread
needle street took suu0 all the world
had to sneoze, but Il does not now
apply although she is yet a powerful
influence and Will always remain so.
But it is to New York that the pre-.
pouderating influence is being shifted.

as English rails and udustrials Their
papers are forever trying 20 make
u appear as though the market changes
were based upon some other causes,
but IL can be seen all the time that
the financial conditions ia New York
are az the bottom Of any considerable
movement here IL is a strange COM
mentary that this great country should
become dependent upon our own. not
only for food and the raw material for
their great manufactures, but that
their finances should be. to a large
extent controlled from Wall street.
BY AUTOMOBILE.
IN coming the greater part Of this

is certainly the ideal way to see a
country. ] do not mean by this that
one must necessarily travel that way,
but 10 is far better TO explore q linz
tied area and See % thoroughly than
to just hy over a country touching
only here and there. II one counts the
cost Of visiting country by what Is
actually seen. then that by automo-
bile Is much the cheaper. Large cities
are interesting, certainly. but so r.
the country and the history connect
ed with IL. The city is constantly
changing. but the country changes lit
tie. and those long stretches Of stone
road, over hill and down dale. always
remain the same; the trees with which
they are lined nearly all the way are
only growing larger and larger all the
time. And what nice arrangement
n is, that Of planting trees by the road
side. a custom that is still being prac-
ands Of young trees seen during this
trip.
PERFECT ROADS.
The roads themselves are nearly per-
feet, doubtless having been built on
proper lines with suitable foundation
and top dressing Of broken stone. and
cost less TO maintain than what we
spend on our always poor highways.
OF course we can say that before our
