We are now nearing Ogden, Utah, and
the weather is becoming warmer. We
arrived at Ogden at 3. 40 p. M, nearly on
time. Leaving Ogden for Salt Lake City
we again passed through fields of alfalfa,
wheat and corn, but not such large fields
as in Iowa and Nebraska. We were now
riding in sight of the great Salt Lake
and arrived at Salt Lake City at 4.5O o.
M, nearly on time.
We left Salt Lake City Is minutes late

many changes to be made. We saw the
Mormon church at little distance from
the station. From Salt Lake City we
passed through country with hills on
each side that are rather barren looking,
and on the land on either side there
seems to be lot of alkali. We are in
sight OF the lake for many miles. We
now retire for the night, which is very
warm. In the morning we were passing
through the same barren country. At
1880 a., m. Saturday we were going
through the famous sand desert with the
Sierra Nevada mountains on either side,
The weather was very warm and the
windows of the cars were closed to keep
out the sand and dust. These mountains
are entirely barren, and also the desert
land through which we passed, and we
rode nearly all day through such scenes
until we came near to San Bernardino,

lands with large orange groves, and these
scenes continued until we arrived at 5. 40

home in the finest city in our country.
