lb I. UUWUNtY CLARK WRITES OF TRIP One of a Series of Letters Received by This Office necei.v ea ny 1 nis unice

Recently * Tlir following is from the pen of .Mrs. T. Dowdney Clark, of Woo<|. bury, whose summer home is at 821 Third street, this «ity.. Mrs. Clark i- mi active worker in. the ladies' Summer Auxiliary, of the First M. K. Church, and. has just rompioted a 10,000 mile trip tlirough-jJujAwest iinVj Ilrilish Columbia. • I must tell you in this second let- • ter of our stay in Salt Lake City and the Yellowstone Park. When wa crossed the boundry line and really were in Utah, every one becnnie interested in . knowing that we were among Mormons at last. Thk city itself is a beautiful one and like\ most of its sister cities of the west, luis many handsome buildings, wide streets and fine shade trees. Of course, the "Mormon Temple Block" i- the center of^nttraction, with its , mugnificient temple, which cost over ?' 1,000.000 and the talieriiut'le where the great electric organ is 'located. This organ has betwedn seven and eight thousand pipes, and in order to make these pipes speak, wind is forced through then* in five, ten and . fifteen-inch pressure. These pipes vary in length from five-eights inch to thirty-two fret. The intrrior of the organ contains. 'one hundred ami twelve sets of pipes, which are divided into seven sections. In addition to the four banks of manual keys .-md the pedals, there are no less i than two hundred and seventy dif- | forent appurtenances which the or- < gamut must remember. The choir : l the largest regular church choir in i the- world), consists of about .".00 1 voices, give their service*, and sing I also the great oratorios, and have < made imqiy tours outside of the State. No one sings in this great i choir unless, he or she truly has n aiuging voice. We hail the great I pleasure of hearing both choir and I organ,. and my "heart was carried r array on wings of entrancing melody t to celestrial heights, where, me -1 thought, 1 could catch the flutter of t angle wings, and glimpse the glisten- c ing sheen of their snowy robes, and t almost hear the voices of our loved f one* who have passed on and up to I I be is-aViful Chief God. For a brief time we stood on celestial r I .eights, the cares and sorrows of life " had faded away ami we were bask- 1 ing in the glory and effulgence of J 1-erfect heavenly lor'e. * We found ' the Mormons looked, r spoke and acted just like other people. I really was surprised, though c i.f rourae that was ridiculous. When " .me looks over the beautiful city, it ' s very hard to realize how desolate •' it once was with its rocky soil ami li its sage-bush. In July^ 1R4T, a small p company of Mormon pioneers, under 11 .the direction of Orson Pratt and'*1 v Krastus Snow, made a camp and turned the water* of the mountain 2 strrems on the sun -baked soil "ami u plowed a few acres of ground; the next day when the main body of pioneers arrived, six acres of potatoes were planted and this was the a I ginning of Salt Lake City. • ci The Mormons appeared to be a b happy, ambitious and prosperous c| |>eople and we failed to see any wo- U| men with "the picture of breaking hearts on their fuces. Of course, not f, •all the people are Mormons. It is „| estimated about forty-fjve .to sixty f, |wr cent, of the city people are Mor- r, mons, While from sixty-five to ninety-five per cent, of the eounlry K people are; in fact, many people are ol Mormons who won't acknowle<lge it. r, Great Salt Lake is a beautiful lake, set in a ileep basin and surrounded by mountains. It contains four n) times more salt (In proportion to it* j| size) than the Atlantic Ocean. After = a very enjoyable stay, we left fyr Yellowstone Park, this Is called the "Wonder Playground "of the World." Here we spent fix* delightful days and nights, traveling by big auto busses together one hundred and i ninety-five miles, and stopping at a different khotel each night. We had mnn'y, many thrilling rides, such narly.w- ropds, sharp curves and such clevaUfin* aaparhere from su^ thousand to ten thousand feet^Arie mountain scenery is superb, the geysers Afrom "Old Faithful," which spouts hot water ope hundred and fifty feet InVthc air) to the smallest ones, also the wonderful hot springs, boiling and bubbling up out of deep basins of sunset colors and the "paint pots" and the mud volcanoes, all these wit* intensely interesting. The grand canyon presents' a picture never, to be forgotten. What forms more amusement to the tourist than anything else. Is Ming to see the bears. After dinner . at night, just before dusk,* is the best time, and the guests of the hotels In large numbers take up their pilgrimage to the dumping grounds fthe place where the food and refuse from the hotels is thrown), where safely stationed behind a fence of two wires, wait for them to, appear ami soon they arrive. They are considered quite Lame, but again and again the caretakers of the hotels tell us , to take no chances, as many accidents have happened. Two young ladles of our party slept one night in a room on the ground floor with no screens in the'

awakened by mighty growl, and rattling of tjn caps ; terribly scared a, shut and locked the-wind..*,. i,ut vou chn imagine they did not get ,nuch '8 sleep that night. One big blaQk bear came out in the road one afternoon,- while our partv was motoring, and one of the ladies if threw him a small cake and then I- started to pat his head, when he !1 quickly nipped d her hand fortunatek ly no harm was done, but she did not s' repeat it. A man snapped his fingers L seVerul tipies at a bear when the enraged animal suddenly turned, clawed it htm terribly down the si.le and threw him almut .twenty feet, so" lie was a [. .patient in the hospital for several > w>' enjoyed seeing hufaloes ut the ranch.
