After spending . couple of hours
in Dixon visiting with various bust
ness men there and enjoying q de-
the delegation went to Slavery, visit
ing with several people In that vi
cinity. They were entertatned for a
short time ut the home~o Mr.. and
Mrs. D. J. Wren, former residents Of
this city.
Returning to Dixon arrangements
were made for . short meeting to be
held late Friday evening.
Leaving Dixon about s o'clock
the delegation started for Bags
where a meeting was to be held that
evening. When about half way be-
tween Dixon and Baggs q bad hail
storm came up and by the time the
party had reached Baggs hail stones
were a couple Of inches thick on the
ground. This hail turned into rain
and snow, which kept us all night
and most of Saturday.
A meeting was held at Baggs on
Friday night at which L. E. Arm
strong CAV a short and very inter-
esting talk.
1t was the intention Of the Raw
AIMS -pN0nla, accompanied by many
Snake River residents, to go to Craig
Saturday to attend q big meeting of
the Craig Commercial Club. The
purpose OF this meeting was to bring
Rawlins and Craig into closer touch
with the idea that considerable of
the trade from that section might be
switched to Rawlins.
Owing to the storm the Rawlins
delegation decided to start for Wam-
suffer Saturday morning instead of
going on to Craig. Leaving Bags
about 10 O'Clock the cars bucked
mud all day, reaching Dad, &c miles
from Baggs, at 8 o'clock Saturday
evening. Mrs. F. B.. Bailey of this
city, who is conducting the Boarding
House at the Dad Shearing pens
served the tired and hungry travel
ers with a magnificent supper and
Mr.. Sprague. manager of the pens,
fixed places for them to sleep.
At Dad the was Joined by
Mr.. L. q. Maupin and Mr.. I. Ostling
of Baggs who had started out look
ing for the party when they had not
reached Dad at S o'clock in the aft
ernoon.
At five o'clock Sunday morning the
caravan again got ON the move,
away. After fighting mud all day
O'Clock in the evening. The cars
we're left at wamsutter, the travellers
returning to Rawlins on No. Is sun
day night.
On Saturday, when. about 10 miles
from Baggs, Mr.. Rendle was COM
PEELED to leave his car when in some
manner the fan cut a hole in the
radiator.
Every person who made this trip
to the Snake River country IL firmly
convinced that the first road that
should be constructed in Carbon
county IL the one to the Snake River
section. In wet weather this road Is
practically im~passable. but. Is 1t IL
the only outlet from the Snake River
section, It has to be used. For sew
eral days no mail Of any kind was
received ON the Snake River. The
mail truck leaving Bags Saturday
morning went into the ditch about
fifteen miles from BaSgs while the
mail leaving Wamsutter the same
morning only got about five miles
from that town when the truck
Studded and buried itself in the
mud.
Although the delegation that visit
ed Snake River did not get to accom-
plash what It started out to do, yet
those who made the trip feel that the
trip was not altogether in vain az
each one knows from personal
expertence just the condition of
thoso people are in a. far ~ roads
laeo coneofned.
1h1 Rawlins people who visited
onake River desire to extend to the
Atdents OF that section thanks for
Tie kandneas and courtesy extended
