Afterwards we held meetings in Morgan and Richfield and Kastdale. the last twenty, five miles away across the Rio Grande river over which has been built a siupen-douiron bridge. The drive to Kastdale was. most interesting and there were novelties to be seen in Spanish and Mexican "" houses which are' any thing-b- ut artistic, though situated as thay are might be called picturesque. Kastdale is beautifully and at present prosperous' under the direction of Bishop Jensbn who seems to possess the elements of character necessary, for colonizing.
