(Concluded from last week)
On the seventh day just before going
out in the city for a "sightseeing"
trip we saw Smith go up in
his aeroplane. He looped the loop
and did other aerial stunts
Our first visit was to the Presidio
Roahmrnfinn whom \vn Qn\V Fort Point
and Fort Winifred Scott. Presidio
Reservation covers 1100 acres of territory.
There were houses on some
paTts of the coast, that extended out
into the bay. The houses contained
mines and were placed out there in
case of war. While there we saw the
"Golden Gate" called this because of
the fact that it greatly resembles
the Constantinople Golden Horn. The
bay washes one side of the city and
the ocean the other, and this Golden
Gate connects the two and forms the
northern boundary. We saw the sunset
at the Golden Gate which was
beautiful. Sun rises on one side and
sets on the other. At Fort Scott
there were great big guns stationed
on the bank facing the bay. The
soldiers were seen practicing. Nearby
was the Post Guard barracks and
the Alcatroy prison; also an immense
golf court where sham battles arc
had.
We next traveled through the Richmond
district, which covers onefourth
of San Francisco; then on by
the Sutro Heights to the Cliff House.
Ouc from the ClilT House could be
seen a large rock, which had quite a
number of seals on it. These seals
were protected by the Government.
Near the Cliff House was an old ship,
_ the first that ever sailed to San Francisco
around the Northern Passage.
We went through Golden Gate Park.
?l:_l i 1 1 r?n l nt.fl Ji |
wnii*u nas ajlw utius wi iuiiu in
While there we stopped by one of the
nurseries and saw lots of pretty dowers.
There was quite a pood deal of
Cecil Hemp to be seen. This hemp
is used to make ropes. It has to be
mashed and rolled and after going
through the various processes, is
ready for use.
Wo stopped by the old Mission j
church of San Francisco. There we |
saw the grave of Hon Louis Antonio |
Arguello, who was the first High
Governor of San Francisco under the
the Mexican Government. He died
in 18.10.
After having lunch in the city we
went out to China town. There we
went through many cur:o stores, then
our guide took us around the little city.
We reached a music master's studio,
and upon going down a flight of
steps, we found him there realv and
; willing to play us a few pieces on his
J various instruments. We saw the telje^hone
exchange, which was operated
j by Chinese girls?the only one owned
by the American people that is rui
by the Chinese. We were taken to see
a private family, in order that we
might become bptter acquainted with
- their mode of living. There was the
mother and her three children, also
the grandmother to extend us a welcome.
The mother and her oldest
daughter were sewing buttons on
some shirts which they had gotten
from a factory, which paid about ten
cents for a dozen. The two small
children sang and recited for us. Their
mode of living did not appeal to me
at all, and they were what" I would
term "poor housekeepers." Their
beds were made like large shelves,
havfig a lower and top berth, with
no sign of a mattress, just merely a
pillow and some quilts. This family,
however, were of the poorer class,
and we cannot judge their whole
race by them. We went in one of
the drug stores and while there met
one of the Chinese doctors. We were
shown two small boxes of ginseng,
costing $7,000. This medicine is used
for most any kind of disease.
San Francisco has a population of
530,000. She enjoys but two seasons,
winter and summer being left out of
the calendar. Spring begins in November
and continues to April, when
| autumn commences and rounds out the
' year. It never gets very cold, neither
does it (ret very hot. This accounts
I for the lovely display of flowers, trees '
( and vegetation which they have the
I year round; however, there was not as :
pretty a display as l.os Angeles had to
oner.
We loft San Francisco on the 12th. i
After our arrival at the Union For- :
ry Building, wo boarded the Western;
i Pacific ferry for the transfer ride I!
j across San Francisco Hay to a town J i
named Oakland, l'rotn there we went . 1

o'clock midnight, and went direct
our rooms at the Hotel Utah. Ji
before reaching Ogden we had 1
unique experience of being carried
rectly across Great Salt Lake on
trestle thirty-four miles long. T
trip across the Lake was a beauti
sight. The sun was brightly bea
ing at first and then gradually sa
behind the horizon, making a disp]
of various colors, each and every c
being reflected in the smooth qu
waters. This lake is 100 miles lo
and ir. places 60 miles wide, and fr
one to fifteen feet deep. It is
times as salty as the ocean. The s'
face is flat, with the whiteness
hard packed snow.
The next day, after having brej
fast, we hired an auto and went or
sight-seeing expedition.
Salt Lake City has a population
92,777 or more. The tallest buildi
was twenty stories high. It took
years for this building to be built,
I the stones were hauled from a di
ance, and the only means of hauli
was by using oxen, which were v<
scarce at the time of the erect1
of this building.
We took a sight seeing trip throu
the city. We first saw the Imi
gration Pass, ofT in a distance, 1
tween two mountains. On the 24th
July, IS 17, one hundred and for
three men, three women, and two cl
dren crossed the barren lands to mi
their home there. Only one ce<
tree was seen at that time, but uf
steady work and perseverance, tl
soon had the Great Salt Lake off
| one side, the land well drained, a
trees planted everywhere. The M
Jmon religion was soon established,
which Joseph Smith was the origii
tor. These Mormon pioneers w<
from Illinois. Smith was killed
Missouri. Ringham Young was a
a great leader. We saw a grist n
that he built in 1852. He was kno
i to have -had 19 wives and 56 childr
I We sa\^. Ahe graves of three of 1
wives d children, also his gri
, which was near. There was a lar
[ flat stone over his grave that weigh
[six tons. Smith also had quite
numbeb of wives. It was said th<
was known no jealousy among th<
wives. When the Government pass
the law in 1890 prohibiting more th
one wife, there was electee a Govei
ment home for the ditcardc d ones, 1
only one applied.
We saw the remains of an old w
which had beer mod around the ci
nine miles around at that timeprotect
the inhabitants from the 1
dians. There was also Ensign Pa
where the first flag was planted. \
went through Liberty Park, whi
consists of 100 acres. There wc
many \:trieties of trees to he se<
also flowers and animals. The ci
has spent $100,000 on play proun
for the children. We saw Wasat
mountains, the tallest one around t
city, which is 12,680 feet high. ^
saw the quaint little cottape whc
Maude Adams was horn, also Soc
Hall where she first appeared on t
stape.
Within the city is Temple Squa"

? ncssee Pass, 10,210 feet aloft, thouph r
the Pacific slone was ehanped for the q
Atlantic. This is the top of the Continental
Divide. At Malta, to the '
, north of us, was seen Mt. Massine, a
2. 14,424 feet, the hiphest peak in the
?*1 State of Colorado. At Malta we saw ^
the bepinninp of the preat Arkansas
river, which was followed for 150 ^
t? miles to Pueblo. At Texas Creek, we s
,s* came into the bepinninp of the Grand
Canyon, of the Arkansas. An obser- a
d|_ vation car was attached here. This j
a Canyon is ten miles lonp, and follows ^
the Arkansas river from the hiph ^

allowing Bear Creek for miles,
n some places the roads were so narow
it seemed almost impossible to g?

We visited the U. S. Mint building

Ipon entering we went up a flight of
teps, then went on a little balcony
/here we could watch the work from

Vo ^ews From Soldier
Means That He is Safe
Although the failure t^ receive leters
from men in the service is not
ileasant to relatives and friends at
tome the adage "no news is good
lews" never was more true than at
iresent. The report of every casualy
at home or abroad is immediately
fired or cabled to officials at Washington,
being relayed from there with>ut
loss of time to the emergency adress
of the soldier or sailor affected,
t is also at once released for publiation
in the newspapers. No news ^
f casualties has or will be held up. ^|jH|
No man in the service has received
rders not to write home; he has been
rged, on the contrary, to keep in
ouch with relatives and friends. The
orces in France have at their disiosal
post cards giving general inforoation
in regard to health and the
eceipt of letters and parcels, which
nay be dispatched without payment
f postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
ntended for soldiers and sailors
eaches them promptly. Where the
egimental and company designation
f a soldier is not known it may be
scured by application to The Adjudnt
General's Office, Washington,
). C. In one week 1,074 letters with
lsufficient addresses were received at
his office. On 1,2112 the addresses
'ere completed and they were forwarded,
123 were returned to senders,
8 went to th dead-letter office beause
sendrs' addresses were not givn,
and the balance were held with
he view that the addressss might be
impleted later.
