Show FftOM THE FAIR. A "Dispatch'' Correspondent GIvjs a Pleasing- Description of a Trip to San Francisco Varied Scenes and Incident!. To the Editor of The Eveniko Dispatch. Probably your readers would like to hear from two of Provo's citizens who have just completed a jorrney from Ogden to San Francisco. After boarding board-ing the train Tuesday morning at 2 a. mM you may depend there was no sight seeing, for in less than a half hour everyone was dozing semi-occasioDally, not being able to go into oblivion by the rattling of the train, the. gentle voice of the conductor and the many vialls of the porter, and various other things to disturb the sweet slumber one was craving for. At last daylight approaches and still nothing to Bee but many miles of barren country in the great American desert. Toward eyening we are near-ing near-ing snowdrifts and snow-sheds, sheds about twelve miles ' long. We soon And ourselves in Truckee. Snow up to the car windows, as high as twelve feet with men still at work Bhoyeling to keep the track clear. I never saw such a sight. We travel on rapidly,and the appearance appear-ance of things soon change. We are now in the beautiful depot of Sacramento, Sacra-mento, remaining there about fifteen minutes, while sweeping goes on through the cars and on the pavement in the depot, the passengers are walking walk-ing and stretching themselves ready to proceed to their final destination. Speeding a:ong through beautiful fields under cultivation one is reminded of home. The California grape vine seems to require no irrigation as the ground is very damp, and some places even swampy. All along the line Eucalyptus Eucalyp-tus trees spread a beautiful green, and evergreens are the feature of the country. Reaching Benicica bay, I shall make no attempt to describe it,but will leave that for my Provo friends when they come to the fair. Among things on the bay attracting my attention was a sign, "Hint Saloon." No time to take the hint so that opportunity had to pass. Passing glorious Oakland, we sail presently for San Francisco. My first trip on a large ferry boat. If I did go into ecstasy over somethings that some people probably think nothing of, I know that everybody will feel likewise like-wise for the first time. Here we are in the metropolis of the west. Fair grounds nearly completed; weather fine; Golden Gate garden, a paridise; flowers blooming everywhere, streets crowded; noise deafening; everybody in a rush, exceot mvself. being tired and weary from sightseeing, sightsee-ing, but recuperating for the requirements require-ments of the occasion. Ott 1 Lie. Bkooklyn Hotel, San Francisco, January 27, 1S94. L. O. Taft has a 7-year-old daughter lying ill of Bfight's disease of the kidneys. kid-neys.

It is understood that the Colorado-English Colorado-English syndicate will today make another an-other payment of $22,500 to the Mer-cur Mer-cur Mining & Milling company of Camp Floyd. The co opany has already received as a forfeit $25,000 from the syndicate, and there is eyeiy reason to believe that the money will be forthcoming forth-coming today, in which case the foreigners for-eigners will assume partial control of the affairs of the company and upon the payment on the first of June of $250,000 more, full control of the Mer-cur Mer-cur company's interests in the Camp Floyd district will pass into its hands.
