S A friend oftlie cilltorllvlng In London who visited Utah last Buuimer writes about lila visit hero and pays ua n llnu ' compliment amongotlier things ho sajs: "I liavo held all my Utah friends In ' great esteem und eiuill nevor forget their kindness, their consideration, and their nordlalllty. Thoso things havo been fruitful In fostering a contemplative spirit and my experienco has partaken very much of a panaromlc nature and I havo lived several times over again In tho mountain scenes of the western world. What I have learned and seen i affords mo much subject for conversation and thought, in fact I hold tho same truth now as when in your midst, viz. If necessity ever compelled mo to cast I my lot uinong you I could be very happy ' " In your modern Zioii and among ngj the people whose Industry lini been so blessed that one rouM almost soy with 1 " propriety "In the wilderness shall water I break out, and streams In the desert, fl and the parched ground shall become a n pool, and tho thlisty land' springs of H water." H I onjjyed tho climate of Utah im- H mcosoly, I slmpely think it a lovwly one. Of course, Ionlysaw tho best phase of It, gj prohapi n western winter, except In tho I golden west, would not prepooses mo bo I much.

K The floral and horticultural specimens discovered In tho subllmcst mountain m Bystcm In the world seems to haunt me fj with tho mostexquslte wonder. jfj Thoso inaccessible mountains of rocks nd tlio towering heights still appall us. lio facfiiatlon of such magnificence still ttracts mo and wo fell wo could live for-ver for-ver In such Beetles of splendor. Burely null things before which man's beet chievemcnts dwarfs Into insignificance ro but harbingers of a still morucxalted ubllmity "For tho Invisible things of llm from tho beginning aro clearly Bten elng understood by tho things that arc lade." I should like to have wintered in Utah lien my storo of Information would havo oen exhaustive nnd complcto. My ionds did suggest it, but It was not 3 practicable for many reasons. Thoso jr wonderful mountains clad In the majesty I of a snowy mantlo, standing in their , grim sllcnco together wit'i crisp frort bound vallejs would havo conveyed to iiny mind in tome degreo an appreciable realization of these indescribable, un-tg un-tg fathomable nnd uncontrollable laws of 1 naturo which work silently and surely to obey tho behest of the Great Disposer 9 of events."
