The Grand river canon is more

a good rest for the night and
arrived in Salt Lake City early
this morning. We took a trip
over the city and saw many
points of interest. We went to
the great Norman temple and
heard the largest pipe organ in
the world. 1t was indeed won
derful, the voice pipes sounded
like a chair back of the organ.
| never hope to hear anything
more beautiful in this world.
The temple is a great building,
said to seat about $1,000 people.
The building has neither nail,
iron or steel in it. We saw the
monument erected in honor of
Brigham Young also his grave
and the graves of three of his
wives. He had 10 wives and 81
children. We saw the beautiful
home of his last wife, she died
at the age of sc years, still

We were due to leave the City
at 1:30 but did not get out until
an hour later. We soon reached
the great Salt Lake of which we

Aug. 80, 1915.


Dear Friends:
When last | wrote you we
were speeding along toward
Colorado Springs, we arrived
there about 200 P. M, Saturday
August %. 1t is a beautiful
place. About seventy-five of us
took the trip to Cripple Creek,
the rest went to Pixies Peak, it
is about ffty-seven miles from
the Springs by rail and 81 miles
on a straight line. The scenery
on the way was indeed beautiful,
the great hills and valleys are
beyond description. We were
1929 feet above sea level when
we reached the highest point.
The mining district is quite a
wonder to sight seers. Every
thing to eat is extremely high in
that section. Eggs and bananas
5 cents each, coffee 10 cents a
cup. We left Colorado Springs
at 400 A. M. Sunday. At
Canon City we took on a tourist
car and soon arrived at the
Grand Canon, where some size
rocks are to be seen on all sides.
| am sure no one has ever been
able to describe the scenery so |
shall not attempt to do so.
We travelled over the rockies
all day and part of the night.
When we were travelling over
the Pacific slope some wonderful
sights were brought to view.
Snow on the mountains was
beautiful indeed. We all put on
wraps and closed our window for
some time. We travelled along
beside the Arkansas river for
some distance and when we

Dear Friends:
Here | am at this great place
of beauty and wonder. We ar
rived here about Is minutes lat'
Tuesday afternoon. We had {
beautiful reception at Oakland
Across the Bay from here
committee of about six or eight
people met us on the train anc
gave us boquets of geraniums
and ferns. We then got of
the train and took the ferry
boat and crossed the bay to Sar
Francisco. 1t was about sunset,
however the lights of the city
flashed on before we landed and
it was indeed beautiful sight.
We all registered at the same
hotel and are like one large fam
lily there is only l49 of us.
We took observation cars the
next day and took in a portion
| of the city and the pacific ocean.
We went through Golden Gate
Park and the beauty of the place
is marvellous. There is no need to
try to describe what we saw.
| Of course the ocean was grand,
| the seals on the rocks were in
teresting as we'll as handsome.
There was quite a lot of rub
Ger neck wagons out (ours was
an observation carr each car
seating about AZ people.
Yesterday we went out to the
fair grounds, where about 49,
300 or probably $4,000 or 10000
people were to hear Taft
speak. We saw the airship fly
ing and it fell into the bay. The
man was not killed however as
he turned the machine loose and
jumped into the water and was
rescued by a life saver.
The tower of jewels is the
most beautiful sight on the
grounds, it contains 435, 900
jewels, each jewel costing $1.25,
and it is more than 400 feet
high. 1t has every color of
Jewel that is used. When the
sun and light is good the jewels
sparkle continually, making one
think of the City we read about
| in the Great Book of Life.
The different state buildings
are of great interest to the sight
seers. Every one having a
moving picture show free to all
visitors.
They have the most peculiar
conveyances you ever saw to
carry you over the fair grounds,
not free though. They have trains
the tracks about 18 inches wide
the. most interesting means of
travel | saw owing to the small
ness of the trains.
Tonight is our reception night,
we are all supposed to look our
best and act as all Mississippians
should
There was quite a write up in
the paper about the Grown in
Mississippi" special and some of
our photos were in the paper.
Tomorrow is Mississippi day.
Suppose we will have to take it
all in.

WHAT CLUB BOYS ARE DOING
$500 on Setting OF Eggs-Good
Results Obtained With Corn.

In South Dakota one poultry club
boy made net profit of $500, based
on setting of 10 eggs.
The state agent for Utah reports
$2S.75 as the highest net profit COW
ering the season, while Oregon re-
ports $50 over the same period.
In the clubs that have raised corn
and pigs jointly, some good results
have been obtained.
A pork and crop production boy Of
Minnesota made $11S net profit for
the season from nine pigs and an acre
of corn. His corn yielded 95 bushels
to the acre.
In Utah, where conditions are not
nearly so favorable, the boys did well,
one member making s3156 as a re-
suit Of his combined work. His corn
showed yield of S675 bushels.
Practically all of the Sugar Beet
club members are in Utah and Col
orado. The state agent in charge of
club work of Utah reports 1884 tons
as the highest yield, and SALTS as
the highest net profit. Five hundred
and forty-six club members reports
show an average yield OF 20.4 tons
and an average net profit of $3.50.

Goldfish Market swamped.

A big thrush of Goldfish along the
northern and eastern coasts during
the latter part of June caused sail
famine in the Ancient Colony The
salt used by the Newfoundland fisher
folk for curing their catch is obtained
from Trapani in Sicily and Cadiz in
Spain. Practically all the salt in the
island has been absorbed, and 1t is
claimed that about $4,000 tons more
could be. advantageously used IL it
were available. At least this guam
tity, and probably more, has been
ordered. and should arrive during the
next month, but much of it will como
to hand too late to be of any real serv-
ice. This shortage of salt is likely to
affect the banking fleet also, which
has had exceptional good fortune in
its earlier voyages this year. The
average price of cod paid last year
and the year before, both III New
foundland and Nova Scotia, was about
$3.50 per quintal but with foreign
markets as they are at present it is
hoped that at least another twenty
five cents per quintal may be OBJ
tanned. The fact that fish of late are
so plentiful is inducing industry, and
also stimulating smaller operators to
prosecute the shore fishery more ex'
tensively.

II Civilians Learn to Shoot.

Civilian rifle clubs are lately re-
ceiving much attention. They have
developed number of men who are
excellent shots with 22-caliber rifles,
indoors, at a distance of so to rs
feet.
Comparatively few, however, are
able to handle the modern high-pow-
cred 30-caliber United States maya
zine rifle and nit target 1000 yards
away Moreover, even were all our
men good shots, it must be remem-
bered that shooting IS merely one of
the important parts OF soldiers
training. and that it is very small
part
The soldier who can do nothing but
shoot has about the same relative
value as a polo player who can sit
on fence and WELD a mallet skill
fully, but who cant ride horse
