The Forrest City times., 1912-07-12

Fernley. He says this is Gods coun- try, for nobody else won't have it. Miss Nelly cWhinney, (who is well remembered herel and MT. Hope, met us in Salt Lake, and we spent the time here that we intended to spend in Ogden. as Miss Nelly could be with us. and there was so much more to see. Sunday afternoon we went out to Saltain, and there we saw the largest dance hall in the United States that is entirely unsupported. It is 20Oxl75 feet, and you can't hear the music from one end of the hall to the other, and when filled to it's capacity 1t will accomodate $50 couples. You can walk out on the pier, for over mile, out in the lake, and see the bathers. 1 don't see how they stood it. It was very cold: we all wished for heavier coats. That night we went to see The Spend thrift" and the next morning we were up bright and early on another sightseeing expedition, and here 1 fail down on my descriptive powers for l cant begin to describe all that l saw, for l can't remember all of it. Salt Lake is the cleanest city We have seen, and has beautiful streets, which are from so to l25 feet wide. We went to the Tabernacle for the noon reci- tai. It lasts fOrty-fye minutes, and when the congregation is all inside the doors are locked and kept locked until the service is over. They have here the largest pipe organ in the world. This tabernacle was built by the Mormons and is entirely support ed by them. In fact they own practi- cally everything around Salt Lake. We then went to the Hotel Utah for lunch. This hotel is said to be even larger than the Hotel Antlers, in Colorado Springs.
 We left Ogden, at 3:45 Monday af- ternoon and arrived at Judes Mrs. E. J. Barrow's, at Fernley,) at Fern ley, at 7:30 Tuesday morning. Jude, MT. Barrow, Bill, and Grover Wylds, met IS with outstretched arms and il passenger touring car. We tht look long rest and had good long family talks. Before 1 get any further, 1 must tell you about the sight through the Royal Gorge They put on an open observation car as they are passing through it, and think it was some Of the grandeSt scenery we ever saw. We followed the Arkansas river all through it; it made US feel somewhat at home, but it is i'm possible to describe it There are seventyt two peaks that can be seen from the gorge that are covered with snow and are said to be higher than Pike Peak.
 They had big dance for us last night at Wadsworth about two miles from Fernley, and We had lovely time. Oh, yes, they danced the Virginia Reel. l wasn't game enough to try it, but Buck did. Friday We are going in the maching to Reno and from there to Lake Tahoo, which is said to be the most noted resort in the country Then we are to take trip around the lake by boat. We phoned Dumb yesterday and he came down that afternoon. He and Gro yer Wylds have just come in from town to tell us of their arrangements for our trip, and have announced the following program: We leave Friday afternoon at 3:30 go.to Reno and spend the night, next morning spend the day on Lake Tahoe, then back to Reno and out to Belle Isle for a dance. Sunday morning we go to Virginia City and visit the Comstock Gold Mine. Back to Reno that night and take in the Moanna Springs.
 We found every one of the folks out here in fine health and doing nicely. and they as well as both of us send lots of love"
