When the town of Mexico, Mo-,

Post, the wet people said all kinds
of dire happenings would happen,
and that with the Punishment of sa-

The Hoxsey Hotel is a credit to
a town twice the size of Mexico, and
other improvements mark a progress

Now Writes With Feeble Hand, But
Tells OF Trip To California,
Where We Leave Him.

Hunter, Mo. Feb 10, l91S.-I
have been intending to write to The
Message for some time but have
been so feeble that l just put it of
from time to time.
But to begin: My daughter and
myself, after the death of my wife
in Mexico, Mo, decided to 90 to Cal
ifornia. 1t proved a wonderful trip
for both of us. We boarded a Mis-
souri, Pacific train at Kansas City.
Passed over some rough country and
saw some very beautiful country.
can not recall the names of many
Of the cities we passed thru.
remember Salt Lake City. Looked
over the place in wonder, and espe-
cially the great Mormon Temple.
How they ever built the great struc-
ture has been the marvel of the
world. The people scarce of money,
but one thing is sure, they had a
mind to work" Under the leader
ship OF President Young the work
was finally completed, as | have
said, remaining the wonder and mar
vel of the world.
From Salt Lake City we went to
Ogden, a very thrifty little place.
We crossed the great Salt Lake on a
new trembling bridge 1t was, as all
concluded, dangerous. But many
miles would be gained in the cutoff
route, so all decided to risk it. At
ter we were all safely across we
breathed easier.
We had more stop, but hurried on
and soon were in California. We
were happy for a time in the place
where in 40 and so men toiled and
sweat for gold. Some found it, but
many were disappointed
We passed over mountains high
almost as the heavens. l cannot re-
count all the wonders we saw; will
not attempt It.
One thing l regretted-we passed
thru Sacramento in the night 1t
was in thas valley the greatest gold
mines were developed. My father
died somewhere near that place. His
body sleeps near there on the top of
one of the mountains, place under
a pine tree he selected himself, when
he was told he must die regretted
that l could not visit his grave. He
was not what we call a Christian,
but he was a good, kind-hearted
man. Peace to his ashes l hope to
see him in the land of rest with 9TH
er dear ones gone before.
Our next stop was-I will write
one more letter and that will get me
back home at Mexico, Mo. w. H. H.
