Editor, Tun Xi-;Yrt:-- Thinking a few-Hues few-Hues from this part of th.e country would be interest i ; , o- to your readers. 1 humbly submit the following. I left my home in Toquerville September:!. Sep-tember:!. 1S!. to fulfill a mission to the Northern states, where I was called. I loft Salt Lake City at 7:25 p. m on September Sth, arrived in Omaha, Nebraska, at 7:1") a., m. in company with live Elders. We laid over one day and visited the Omaha Slate Exposition. Exposit-ion. We saw many grand sights; one in particular that attracted my attention atten-tion was the Government department building, where we saw all the ancient and modern war guns and cannons. Utah had also brought in her mineral wealth for competition. In this respect I was told she ranked first amongst all her sister states. The state of Georgia exhibited the finest ijiu-ility of fruit to my notion of any oilier stale in the Union. I came to Chicago and visited the stockyards and many .other places of interest. From there I was assigned to my field of labor in Racine, Wisconsin. Racine is built op the shore .of Lake Michigan. I only labored in Racine one month. I was then sent to Portage, in t,he same elate, where I enjoyed a very pleasant winter and made some good friends. "We held our conference in Portage on March 11th and 12th. Apostle Heber J. Grant and Sister L. L. Green Richards, of Salt Lake City, were in attendance. The conference was held in the Court House, and had a good attendance. at-tendance. I was assigned to labor in Janesville, Rock county, Wisconsin, with Elder James E. Knopp, who has labored in this eitv the past winter. The weather is very cold here at present. The work in this state is very promising and many are investigating the Gospel, and we are looking forward to a prosperous year, I look forward to every Thursday, when The Washington County News reaches me. It is very interesting interest-ing to read the hews from all over the county. I remain, as ever, your well wisher for the success of your valuable paper, James E. Anderson, Janesville.
