The scene viith has been presented to us in this oolitkal and commercial center ol the Territory ol Utah has been very full of beauty and very full of bright hopes.

My service iu publx life has been such as to call my special attention and to enlist my special interest inter-est in the people of the Terntoiy of Utah. It has been a pleasant duty to welcome the Dakota.s, Washington, Montasa, Idaho and Wyoming into the great constellation ot the States. 1 think it has not fallen to any President of the United States to receive under public law into the Union so large a number of free states The conditions that surround here in this Territory of a material kind are of the richest and of a most hopeful character. The diversity ot your production of your mines of coal and silver, iron and lead and gold placed plac-ed in such proximity to make the work of mining and reduction easy and economical. eco-nomical. Your well watered valleys capable cap-able under the skilfull touch of the .husbandman, .hus-bandman, of transformation from barren waste into fruitful fields.

To this the Secretary made the reply Well! well! This is, indeed, fine. It: is a beauty and no mistakes." Other remarks were passed on the merits ol the production and the matter ended: The hist stop was made at the beet f 11 gar manufacluiing works betweeu Lehi and American Fork. The buildings wete all handsomely decoiated, and a large number of people gathered to welcome wel-come the Piesibent. The President acknowledged the welcome, wel-come, referring to the importance of establishing es-tablishing manulaciuis, the employees of which would buy the products of the farms, thus the agricultural and the manufacturing man-ufacturing classes would help each jther No substantial prosperity could come to any community who spent its money abroad.

The crowd 111 waiting at Liberty Park was an immense One and the grounds were packed with people when the front of the parade reached the spot, It was ' with the greatest difficulty that the , speaker's stand was reached and the surging mass that thronged aiound the platform threatened its total anmliation. But like all American audiences they settled down and accepted the inevitable Those that were close prepared to enjoy en-joy the affair while the outers resigned themselves to their fate, The stand was crowded with the leading lead-ing citizens of the Teriitoiial, city and county officials. There wete also three membeis ot the Utah Commission, Colonel Col-onel Godfrey, Judge Williams and Governor Gov-ernor Robinson, present.

When all that could get wiihin hearing were comfortably fixed, Governor Thomas advanced to the front of tiie platform and said: "As soon as you are perfectly quiet the exercises ex-ercises will commence. It was fume time before that quiet was obtained, but as all things have an end the confusion prevailing was no exception ex-ception and soon quiet was restored and the Governor delivered his address ot welcome as follows: governor Thomas's welcome It is my pleasant duty, in pehall of al' the people of Utah, without regard to party or creed, to salute you;to welcome you to our Territory, to extend to you and yours the hospitalities of our people The pleasure of ihe welcome is only tempered by the regret that your too brief visit will not half permit the people as you sweep through the different cities and hamlets in your line of travel, to give full expression ot their kindly feeling feel-ing or to emphasize the respect they hold lor you personally and for tue ex alted office which you fill. The people of Utah are justly proud of their Territory. They believe it has natural advances greatly superior in wea ih tu grandeur to those of ai.y other State or Territory of the Union. The mountains which seem to you so rugged and barren are really treasure chambers wherein is hidden wealth enough to give dignity and glory and power to an empire. The majority of our people are in the beautitul valleys. the sugar used by the people of Utah would be made at home. The next stop was made at American Fork. The Piesideut heartily thsnked the people for their kindly welcome- referred re-ferred to the presence of Ihe children, whose bright laces greeted him, and said they weie the hope of the Territory. The train reached Provo on time. Here there was veiy large gathering of people peo-ple and as at all other places on the rouie. the President was greeted with hearty cheers. Springville was reached a few minutes min-utes later. Over two thousand people had gathered at the depot The President wa introduced oy Governor Thomas.
