Utah's Pioneer Day.


As the day Of general patriotic celebration,
the 24th Of July is second only to the Glorious
Fourth" in the hearts of Utah's people 1t was
on July "a, l847. that the intrepid pioneer, sue
cessful colonizer and, as the Mormons sincerely
believe, inspired prophet. Brigham Young en-
tered Great Salt Lake valley in charge Of the
advance company Of the migrating hosts OF Lat
ter Day Saints. The achievement may be well
commemorated in story and song, 1t was the
advent of the conquering army of invasion into
the stronghold of the great American desert.
In the spring Of 1876 more than 1000 wagons
Of the Mormons were rolling westward, and the
line Of march stretched from the Mississippi to
Council Bluffs. There were in the company not
half enough draft animals for the arduous jour-
ney, and but an insufficient number of able
bodied men to tend the camps. Women had to
assist in driving teams and stock, and in other
acteristic cheerfulness the people made the best,
and that proved to be great deal, out of their
lot.
A pioneer company preceded the main body.
This party, as originally constituted, comprised
IA men; case of illness. which appeared at
the start, reduced the number by one. Three
of the pioneer bands were accompanied by their
wives, and with the women were two children,
making 4 total of l48 souls. Wagons there were,
as also some horses, but all too few for the
journey; and many of the company walked the
full 1000 miles across the great plains and for
uluuIlB uSScIlS.
After over three months journeying the pio-
neer company reached the valley of the Great
Salt Lake; and at first sight Brigham Young
declared it to be the stopping place, the gather
ing center for the saints. But what was there in
viting in this desert spread out like scorched
scroll. devoid OF welcoming message and bare
but for the picture it presented Of wondrous
scenic grandeur! From the Wasatch barrier the
colonists gazed upon a scene of intrancing
though forbidding beauty. An arid plain, trimmed
by mountains like literal basin, still held the
salty dregs of what once had been an inland sea.
A more uninviting spot they had not passed In
all their journey. Could this be the promised landi
But the voice of the leader was heard: THE
very place" said Brigham Young; and in his
prophetic mind there rose vision of what was
to come, He saw towns and cities, hamlets and
with the fairest Of all, city whose beauty OF
situation, whose wealth of resource should be-
come known throughout the world rising from
the most arid site of the shimmering DESERT
hard by the barren salt shores of the watery
waste. There in the very heart of the wilder
ness should stand the house of the Lord, with
other temples beyond the horizon of his gaze.
On the Path of July, l847, the main part OF the
pioneer band entered the valley of the Great
Salt Lake, and that day Of the year is observed
as legal holiday, and day Of gladness and
thankful rejoicing in Utah. From that time to
the present the stream Of immigration to these
valleys has never ceased.-Dr James E. Tai

LEGISLATURE WILL
FIX STATE CAPITOL
Rebuilding Of East Wing" Will
Be Left to Lawmakers Of
Next Session.
DANGER NOT IMMEDIATE
tFrom a staff Correspondent,

(From Staff correspondent)
Lincoln, Aug. 2S-(Special. IKE
building the east wing OF the state
house will be up to the next legisla-
lature, the committee appointed by
Governor Morehead. which met this
morning, taking a stand in favor OF
making report of the condition OF
the same and leaving it to the lcgis-
lature to meet the emergency.
The committee, consisting OF Prcsi-
dent of the Senate Phil Kohl OF
Wayne, Speaker George Jackson
Senator Spirk OF Saline and Repre-
sentative Peterson OF Lancaster, with
State Engineer Johnson and some Of
the members of the State Board OF
} Public Lands, accompanied by the
governor, made close investigation
of the state house and its condition
going to the top and following down
on the inside to the bottom.
Up around the dome on the side
next to the east wing they found sew
eral cracks where the stone had
pulled away fro mthe dome, large
enough to stick fist in, but it was
the general condition of the wing
which appeared to cause most con-
Germ.
No Immediate Danger.
According to State Engineer John
son the outside layer of stone has
sunk below the rest of the wall about
four inches. This has weakened the
whole wall. He does not think there
is any immediate danger, but believes
the legislature should take some step:
as soon as it convenes.
The wing might fall tomorrow OF
it might stand for considerable time
but the face remains that the board
considers that it would be almost
criminal negligence on the part OIL
the legislature not to take some steps
toward repairing the wing.
Governor Morehead, who has moi

frankly stated that he thought some.
>sthing should be done. He thought

Il believe i twould be like pour.

which took place The whole build

offices are fairly comfortable, those
on the north side are almost unin,

believe we should tear down the cas-

The matter was left for the state
