But the Thirteenth Legislature of the State of Utah, appreciating the debt of gratitude due you, has made possible for us the occasion so eagerly sought. To carry out thef intent of the Legislature and to afford us the opportunity so much desired, I have set aside October 8, 9 and,. 10 for the official welcome by the State .to our returned service men. The program will be carried out at Salt Lake City and will include, besides expressions' of 'our appreciation, our humble tribute to those who have honored the pages of history by giving their;.

You have been most kind in keeping in contact with my many ad dresses and sending me the Courier appreciate more than I can tell. i have been around a little corner of this part of Lords vineyard, and it has all been very wonderful to me and a most glorious privilege. I First Portland, with its beautiful pines and millions of ' roses, its beautiful rivers and huge steel bridges, which are raised and lowered at 'different' i n ter rC'tSt' ships to pass thru; also the world renowned, Columbia Highway, with its many wonderful waterfalls and rock formations, the beautiful pine clad hills with the ferns and Oregon grape vines, which grow in profusion everywhere. Near the Cascade locks there is a large rock formation on either side of the Columbia river a legend is connected with it. The Indians say, that at one time it spanned the whole river, forming a natural bridge. They called it the Bridge of the Gods. After Portland then came Sunny Spokane, with its many wonderful concrete bridges and elevated railAs far as climatic condiways. tions are concerned it is very much like home, also the soil, shrubbery and houses.' Of course the streets are not, but they are much better in comparison to Portland, Seattle and the larger cities. I have heard people say who have been thru Utah that we have the most beautiful and decently laid out cities in the world, and yet they will not admit that it is due to anything more than ordinary mans wisdonT and intelligence. Vancouver B. C. was my next field of labor and a most wonderful experience it was, being the first time 1 was out of the United States. Vancouver is partially surrounded by water and many of the large vessels bound for Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands stop there to take on passengers. Accross the inlet on the North, the huge Rocky Mountains project their rugged heights into the azure blue. They are covered with beautiful forests which seems to be growing out of the solid rock. On clear, bright days, huge icy glaciers can be seen glistening in the sun. We lived only - two block from English Bay and the Bunsets there surpass anything I have ever seen.

V '"V Sincerely, Governor the mountains at home are wonderful, but the sun gradually sinking into the mighty ocean and casting its glorious rays accross the Bay is magnificent and beyond description. The people there too, are different than the people of the States. There are many Hindus with various bright colored turbans and the Chinese wear their native apparel. Sometimes I, felt very far away, in the other foreign place. Orient, The people among whom we worked are all English and entertained us royally. Their customs are very different from ours, and they have a quaint little brogue and many peculiar expressions, which is very amusing at times. Our landlady scolded her little daughter for wearing her roller skates in the house, and she said, I ovent skated about the oose naow. I enjoyed it all very much and wouldnt have missed the experience for anything; but it did seem good to get beck to the dear old U. S. A. again and be under the n of the Stars and Stripes.
