The Pori of Musing Men UTAH STATE IS RELIEF TO HER MEN SPOT WHERE BRIGHAM YOUNG SAID THIS IS THE PLACE WITNESSED BY THOUSANDS Canyon Near Salt Lake Noted as Place Where Pioneers of Years Ago First Viewed Great Salt Lake Emigration ' City Salt Lake Seventy-fou- r years and a day after that memorable morning of July 24, 1847, when Brigham Young raised up from his sick bed In a primitive prinrie schooner at the month it Emigration canyon and gazed upon the valley of the Great Salt Lake, thousands gathered Monday morning in the same memorable spot and confirmed in consecratiou, song and a ritual their leaders prophecy that v this is the place." The occasion marked the unveiling of a shaft raised as an historical monument upon the very spot where the pioneers of 47 gazed, for the first time upon the valley of their destina-tioThe shaft Is set amid the tumble weed andsage brush of the historic credit. It is made of concrete set upon hase of native Utah granite. On the face of a reproduction of a buffalo ikull are the words: A Bulletin of the Plains. Below is the inscription : This Is the place. Brigham Young, July 24, 1847. The dedication of the monument was under the auspices of the M. I. A. and ether church organizations. President Anthony W. Ivins presided. The-fladraped monument was officially un- - retted by Elder Preston Nlbley. Ardmlnscent account of the arrival ef the pioneers at the mouth of Emigration canyon was given by W. W. Biter, who arrived in Salt Lake six weeks after the party of President Young. Mr. Biter same with Els parents and was then 9 years old. He 3e- dared there was no doubt but wbat the spot selected for the monument was the exact location where President Yonng uttered the words, "This is the place."' Mr. RIter exhibited the original guide, written by William Clayton, in which is designated and described tlie spot where President Young stopped. The speaker said that at the time President Young was ill with mountain fever and was lying in a bed prepared for him in the wagon of Wilford Woodruff. When the spot was reached upon which the monument stands toturned the day, President Woodruff side of the wagon around to permit a view jto the westward. It was then, according to Mr. Biter, that the pioneer leader lifted the flap of the wagop covering and after an extended survey of the valley said : It is enough, this is the place, drive on. Mr. Riter declared that when lie fot lowed six weeks late and gazed upt the valley from the same spot, to his youthful eyes was sickening. He said he was convinced as fi boy TTiat .it was not tile place. And I was not alone in that dismal There were foreboding, he said. others of stronger mould than I to , whom the valley looked lonely and dis- ' mol." Elder Brigham H. Roberts, assistant church historian gave an official account of tlie landing of the pioneers in Salt Lnke valley. He quoted from the ledger accounts of President Young and others of the party to substantiate the accuracy of the route and the location of Jfie spot, where the party stopped. Eider Roberts told of the planting of the first potato patch in the valley a few days after the arrival of the pioneers.' The valley he said, was ex plored by a party of nine men under the leadership of Orson Pratt on .Tuf? 22, two days before the arrival of th main party. A true and official account of tin naming of Ensign peak was given by the speaker. He sal'd it did not acquire its name through the raising o' the Stars and Stripes, as was generally believed. He declared the peak war designated as a spot from wffleh ar ensign to humanity would be raised Thereupon, he said, was subsequent!' raised the standard of Won- and th-- hlll eest designated as Ensign peak.

Premier - Briand sent a note yesterday in reply to the British note on the Silesian issue, expressing lack of conviction that the supreme council could serve any useful purpose by convening before measures are taken to aiure order and provide for the security of the allied troops now in the district. News received here Wednesday from Opeln was far from reassuring. The attitude of the German press, as interpreted by the French dispatches, was increasingly provocative. France, it is declared, recognized that danger threatens from the side of the Poles, as well as from the German side, making It doubly necessary, in the French view, to increase the allied troops. Precautions, first, decisions afterthe wards, probably will remain French view, it is indicated, unless there are unforseen developments. ' French official circles received a shock from the British governments reply, and in some quarters torelations are deday Anglo-Frenc- h scribed at critical as a result. The French government is said to have been unprepared for the severity aad unyielding tone that this mornings newspapers indicate characterizes the British communication. Editorial comment suggested that the British prime minister, David Lloyd George, acted entirely toe hastily in refusing to agree with the French view that additional allied troops were necessary in Upper Silesia. The commentators also declared that he failed to inform himself fully, regarding the necessity of prompt allied action, and added that had he waited a few hours longer, he would have had before him a unanimous report from the allied high commissioners at in which it Is urged that Immediate reinforcements be sent. While most newspapers agree that rethe incident brings Anglo-Frenclations to another delicate point, Le inJournal saya the problem i not soluble and in its final analysis, not of a nature to aeriously trouble the comity of allied relations.
