| Show SUBJECTS which are treated in a practical strain A correspondent E T J furnishes the following there are so many travelers that are returning home just about now dow froth from foreign shores as well as from mountain retreats that it seems to be only ody repeating an ott told story to describe one solitary trip to points either near home or far away and yet each account has its own peculiar fei features tures which are all the more interesting in proportion to the manner in which the story is told without departing in the least from the strict line of truth therefore in place of personal incidents of t travel r avel I 1 will note a few of my observations during nay my late out THE EARLY PIONEER cannot help remembering the rude and undeveloped state in which he be found the mountains and vallies of utah and when he sees the wonderful c changes anges that have been wrought in four decades decade s ne he feels proud and justly too of his mountain home he is amp amply I 1 y

christendom who are so well conditioned as are this people and yet I 1 discover they are menaced with dangers of many kinds utah has certainly been a fruitful field for the agents of foreign manufacturers rs who have received from us millions of dollars of hard earned money nor is this all for many persons have involved themselves hopelessly in debt for aftic articles les that could eadi

notes to secure which mortgages on homesteads have been given which cannot be redeemed and the property has lias to be sacrificed leaving the individual the possessor of used up machinery and broken
