Salt Lake City, Utah, October
LEFT Omaha at 1885 a. m.
Monday. Had two band practices,
one in the morning ana one in the
afternoon. Made plenty of noise.
The girls were given another car
to sleep in. We have the whole
car to ourselves and can make all
the noise we want. Everybody had
a good sleep last night-plenty of
room-in bed by $3.50.
We have gone through Wyom-
mig and are now in Utah. The
scenery is beautiful. It's a clear
day and the mountains don't seem
more than a few blocks away.
Last night we stopped at Chey-
enne for about Is minutes and the
band got out and played some
Minnesota songs at the station.
We had quite an audience and they
seemed to enjoy it.
1t is now 9:15 a. m. and we are
just getting into, Salt Lake City
where we are going to play a few
pieces.-G. M. Smith.
