The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-11-21

Joe Bass, and We were very much at
home. They make a specially of rails
Belgian hares and were treated to a
delightful repast of Belgian hare,
milk fed spring chickens and all the
other good things for which Los An
geles is noted.
We forgot to mention that we had
the pleasure of meeting Miss Beulah
Bronson, who will be remembered by
many Missourians as the private sec
rotary and companion of the late
Bishop Grant and wife. Miss Bron-
son is stenographer in one of the
largest law firms in Los Angeles and
seemed delighted to meet a bunch of
former acquaintances from the East.
1t was with regret that we came to
the time when we had to turn our
backs on so much of beauty, friendly
consideration and good cheer, and we
could not help thinking of that good
old hymn:
The dearest friends must part,
Who has not lost a friend?
There is no union here of heart,
That must not have an end"
Bound for salt Lake.
When we left Los Angeles Friday
| evening at s o'clock several friends
were at the depot to bid us God-speed
on our journey. One lady brought a
bag of California's choicest fruit and
told Brothers Crews and Love if l
behaved myself they might share the
same with me. I presume l gave a
good account of myself, for lam sure
l got a goodly share of the fruit.
The trip was n of two nights and
a day, and when tell you there was
nothing but sandhills and sage brush
to break the monotony through Ne
vada you will understand how tired
we were when we reached Salt Lake
City. l did not sleep we'll enroute,
and nothing is more natural when you
are on a railway train han to eat
when you can not sleep, and that may
account for the fact that l got my
share of the fruit. We shall not soon
forget the gift and never forget the
1 giver.
We arrived in Salt Lake City amid
a downpour of rain with heavey over
hanging clouds, which drowned about
all our ardor for sight seeing in the
sanity city. Salt Lake City nestles
down in the great Salt Lake valley
with snow capped mountains keeping
watch toward the eastward, and like
; a babe drinking life and strength from
1 the holy breast of mother hood, this
beautiful city has grown into a heal
thy American city. 1t is noted fol
its broad streets, which every one
loves, until they have to be paved
The clearest and coolest water one
ever drank runs down from the noun
tains the year round, and almost the
whole year round flowers bloom ant
birds sing, giving n the impression
of a veritable paradise. The wealth
err conditions dampened Dur ardor tt
see this sainted city, yet we started
~cumstances to see what there was
to be seen. 1t being Sunday the city
was closed, and | must say Salt Lake
The Mormon Temple.
City comes as near keeping the lie
on on the seventh day as any city
ever saw. Like all OIL other tourists
our objective point was the Mormon
Tabernacle. Upon our arrival there
we found a guide just about to star
out with a party of tourists, and he
very kindly asked us to register anC
join the party. We were glad to &C
cept this invitation, and after the
trip was over we deemed ourselves
fortunate in the fact that the guide
who conducted the party of which
we we're a part was exceedingly wei
posted on what the Mormon religion
stands for, and very eloquently gave
us some of the history of the church
We are frank to confess that wheI
we were through listening to this
man we had a better impression o
the Mormon church hat that which
we had hitherto entertained.
This Tabernacle is a remarkable
structure in many respects. 1t vii
hold 1 1000 persons, and is so arranged
that one seat is just as desirable al
another, and all seats are free. w
saw the famous pipe organ and saw
tested the wonderful acoustic proper
ties of this building. Standing NOR
! than 200 feet away we could hear thu
sounds produced by a man rubbing
his hands together. At the same dis
| lance we could hear a pin fall tina
was dropped upon a table. After tn
I very interesting lecture to which w
! had listened, we went to the beauti
full Utah hotel to find our friend ant
brother, A. F. Neal. Here we met
| large number of the home boys, VIII
Wed with each other in making !
pleasant for us. Mr.. Washington, VIII
! was in charge during the absence o
Mr.. Neal, had us come down and tai
to the boys, and we net as fine an
clean looking a set of hotel men a
we ever saw They appreciated I
the fullest extent 1.-THE plain talk w
gave them and made us their guest
in an auto party for seeing the city
