Borah to Meet Train.
The President will not visit Boise
Senator Borah's home city, but word
was received aboard the presidential
train early today that Senator Borah
planned to greet Mr.. Harding on his
arrival at Pocatello and accompany
him to Idaho Falls. Gov. Moore. ac-

stop at Pocatello, in addition to the
address. includes an automobile tour
of the city and review of the school

to tour the city and then inspect a
model irrigation district.
The presidential party crossed over
into Idaho after two full days in
Utah. longer period than has been
spent in any other state. The visit to
southern Utah and to Zion National
Park, the newest of the nations play
grounds. made deep impression on
both the President and Mr.. Harding
Had Wonderful Day.
I'VE have had a very wonderful day
today-wonderful in many ways" the
chief executive said in addressing
citizens Of Cedar City last night after
returning from the 125-mile trip into
Zion Park. We have come to have a
new love for the beautiful; we have
found a new charm in the marvellous
works of nature: we have seen ex-
hibited the results of her convulsive
moods. and then in the canyons and
gorgen and other aspects of Utah S
magnificent scenery we have seen the
effect of her relentless force operat-
ing throughout the ages. With il
all. l think we have come to have
perhaps, even a greater reverence for
the Creator, a new wonderment at His
purposes, and new curiosity to know
when we ourselves are going 10
understand fully Gods purposes"
If 1t was a wonderful day for the
President, 1t was equally wonderful
to the people of southern Utah, some
OF the younger of whom saw their
first passenger train when the presi-
Dental special arrived at Cedar City
over the just completed extension of
the Union Pacific from Lund to that
city. Many, including even the
pioneers who went into the desert and

United States they ever had seen.
Gets Cordial Greeting.
They gathered from miles around
into the little villages built in oases
claimed from the desert by irrigation.
and with waving flags, presentations
of flowers and fruit and singing of
sones greeted the presidential party
as 1t passed toward Zion Park. Most
of them were still along the roadside e
the party motored back to Cedar
City late in the day, singing God Be
With You Till We Meet Again" The
greatest day in their lives had come
and was gone.
Mr.. Harding spoke at Zion City as
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: If it wera
not so late i should like to wait tor
few moments, because the man who
operates the radio amplifying de-
vice has not as yet returned from the
trip, and / wanted you to see one OF
the marvels of modern science as ex-
hibited in the amplifying of public
speech. 1t is not very often that
those so far from the larger centers
have such an opportunity, and
though you would enjoy the expert

his voice carried from this pla atform
TO the farther edge of your city and

pleasing 1t Is to US to be so cordially
greeted by so large a representation
OF the citizenship of southern Utah.
Pride I'm Achievement.
"One of the things that has enter.
tanned most has been to see how men
and women will toll with all their
might and with all their hopes on a
little strip of land. making mother
nature yield to their designs. / have
come to the conclusion that 1t is due
to something more than the mere
ambition to subsist and make home
L believe the more impelling purpose
must be an inherent one in man tc

After all. that is about the great.

happens that we have too little o1
such inspiration in the great working
centers of population, but out here
in the great valleys a man turns his
hand to toll, sometimes successfully
sometimes with disappointment, ano
