Show SALT LAKE LADIES AS TOURISTS. Male Escort Disdained, As They Are Abundantly Abun-dantly Able to Care for Themselves. A short time ago a number of Salt Lake ladies conveived the idea of going on a tour of pleasure to the Pacific coast. They scorned tho idea of male escort, and thought that if Nellie lily could get around the world in less than eighty days all by herself, they were certainly equal to tho emergency required re-quired for a journey of two or three thousand miles within the bounds of their own country. Aud then tho fun of tho thing; oh, it would bo splendid. So away they went on n lark of their own, determined to make the most of their holiday. It happened that C. E. Irigalls, ' of the Union Pacific., was a fellow-passenger on tho same train with theso fair denizens of Salt Lake, and his company had to be borne as far as Portland, Oregon; but from that city they were determined lo " paddle their own canoe." The ladies have been heard from at Portland, where they arrived last Saturday. Sat-urday. They were to embark next day on a steamer for San Francisco, nothing daunted by the terrors of mal do mer and Capo Flattery. From San Francisco Fran-cisco these adventurous daughters of Zion intend going southeast as far as Ensenada, and they may perhaps wander off into tho Yoscmitc valley. Thence they will start for home, where there is no doubt they will arrive quite safely. The party cousists of tho following fol-lowing ladies: Mrs. M. M. Kaign, Mrs. II. A. Hanks, Mrs. Henry Heath, Mrs. II. C. Taylor, Miss Hattio Heath and Miss Delia Heath. |
