A tallow candle nearly. burnt .out,, and a with the -- match were supplied on leavout "injunction to blow 'it ing the room, or retiring. The nates here were $2.50 per day. The 70 mile trip over land through the Mountain Meadow country to St. George was a hummer. There were seven passengers beside the. driver and over fifty express packages and mail bags, all jammed into an ordinary three ' seated spring " -- - -- wagon. .We had packages un- our feet, and four . mail bags .weighing from twenty-fiv- e to fifty pounds each, over them. Several of the passengers had to trawl up next the bows and be on top the mail bags. der lu this condition the, party traveled from midday until midnight, through slush and snow, when a stop was made for dinner After unlimbering - for five minutes and treating our culinary physiologies to a repast of - vigorously cooked, overland trout and eoffee, we resumed our ; journey.

Finally the driver plaeed it on the feet of a small fellow he ad stowed away in a little corner of - his owi seat. Thus we traveled until thefollowingmorning,when we reached Oun destination. The stage ahead of us had tipped over, rolling dow-one of the gorges, mashing the vehicle and injuring some "of the occupants. Iho following day the four horse team ran off and smashed up another vehicle, but no passengers were aboard at the time. Taking another route out of the country, transportation and entertainment facilities were found to be crude and insufficient generally. Returning via Cedar City, the writer and three lady school teachers had arranged for ,a motor car to Lund, after laying over a day, because unable to get passage on-- the mail stage. The following day, after the mail had gone, we were informed that the trip was impossible. We I were left again. After sevearl hours of diligent search over the, town, the services-efan-- old gentleman was secuerd and by the middle of mile the afternoon the thirty-fiv- e ride was commenced, through the mud and slush t and in an open rig. For this, advanced charges were required. On their way out from Lund, two of these ladies had been misled by a resident who told them, that the stage had ceased to run, and proffered to drive them over, which he did, charging them $9.00 t for .the service. Twice victimized, and with appointments unfilled" to open their respective schools, these ladies were m fine trim for passing New Year resolutions; and whoevei undertakes to keep three such ladies, with cold feet, and serious countenances, smiling during mile trip through a thirty-fiv- e rntid and water, at night, in an open rig, and with two horse blankets for rugs, vill not need to record the event. He will remember it. The first necessary prerequisit to the progress and prosperity of our Dixie neighbors, is the establishment of a system of transportation. and convenient stop overprivilages that" would' secure so'medegree of comfort and safety to the traveler There seems "to be no 'commercial organizations to help in this, as other needed reforms. A system of affiliated commercial clubs could do wonders in impressing the people - with the proper steps to be taken in the development of their unique resources. The flavor of their tropical fruits and nuts is of the very best., yet there is but small effort put forth in the way of commercial orchards. In fact a round up of the stores in the larger towns, revealed the fact that they were purchasing figs, -etc., for local trade from other and waltowns in nuts, almonds, etc, from the wholesale houses in Salt Lake City.
