In 1847 the founders, a handful of pioneers, the Immortals of the Mormon people, ended their memorable pilgrimage through more than 1,000 miles of unbroken wilderness and laid In the desert solitudes the foundation of a great Intermountaln empire. Today It Is the center of a vast region filled with wealth and diversified resources and the scene of activity In mining, manufacturing and commercial affairs. The old and the new are strangely blended in Salt Lake City, the homely material and all the manufactured used In the construction had to be hauled by express from the Missouri river. The acoustic properties of this enormous assembly hall are the marvel of builders. At a distance of 200 feet the dropping of a pin can be distinctly heard and a whisper is audible 200 feet away from any standpoint in the building. In the west end of this building is the great organ, conceded by visiting musicians to be one of the finest Instruments in America, If not In the world. It was constructed over 30 years ago entirely by Utah artisans and mostly from native materials. The dimensions of the organ are 30 by 33 feet, and the front towers have a height of 48 feet. It has 110 stops and accessories, and contains a total of over 5,000 pipes, ranging in length a ALL HANDS WENT DOWN. k tun : i To Left, Assembly Hall; in the Center, the Tabernacle; Right, the Great Temple.

Almost Ihe first thing the visitor does upon reaching Salt Lake City is to visit the Temple, which stands within sight and sound of the business center. Work began on the Temple with the first beat of the city's heart and continued unremittingly for 40 years. It cost over $4,000,000 and is one of the notable buildings of the continent. It stands upon an and towers above all surrounding objects, its whole form outlined against the sky line before any other sign of the city can be seen. Its exterior is graven with the curious symbols of the Mormon creed, and its loftiest spire is surmounted, fully 213 feet above the earth, by the golden figure of Moroni, the angel who revealed the religion of the Latter Day Saints to Joseph Smith. The Interior of the Temple Is sacred; none but those of the faith are ever admitted through its iron doors.

One of the oddest cases of revenge recorded in the annals of the history of the city of McAlester has been brought to light In this city. James Bickers of Munday, Tex., pretending to be Dr. J. M.

Marshal Bickers of Munday. The evidence seemed so clear and accurate that Marshal Bickers was actually arrested and confined in the Jail at Munday, only being released on a Sr,,0i!0 bond. Miss Peak, the unsuspecting notary public at the office of Redwlne and Bonesteel, accepted tho affidavits and listened to the doctor's story. He was a young physician who had been on hand on the train at the death of Bickers; the wounded man had told him of his fight with his brother in which he had been morsudtally wounded.
