On the 1 H i ti day uf May 1904, after
a eojourn of 32 years in the west, we
siaiied on our font trip hack toward

from Covj to Union, iu cmipsuy witb
Mrs A Ct Co-ikliu ami fmuily taking
passage on the O K & N traveling by
way of Huntington and Pooatello.to

companions much to our regret to
take our way among strangers.
We g ive our most earnest attentioo
to the variable scene along our way,
some were good to look upon many

ii", were vnid of every feature that
makeslifo desirable;)et human nature
is suob that wherever it can do the
best financially is the place that suits
it most. Hence tbe source ol many
desert towns.
Often while passing along tender
memories and pleasant visions uf the
beautiful Oracde Hondo were indulg
ed in. Being delayed some three hours
at Green River our party thought it a
good opportunity to got a "square
meal" aud boldly marched into the
rosturaut only to retreat later with s
decided opiuiou that the corners had
tieen knocked otT and the meal wa

"switched otf" and allowed to sleep a

Nearly every faruiei is minus a barn
and many of the buildings especially
the out buildings are of the tumble
down sort. The average farmer of to
day of Union couuty would not rest
until euoli buildings were more "turn
hie down" and new ones placed in
their stead.
The orchards consist, generally, of a
few trees set closely together growing
rampant, without pruoeing or cultiva
tion uf any kind. Olten they eaamed
to be mo.e tor shade than anything

witb a scrubby growth ol woods are
lying idle lands that we bad expeoted

seems to be conservative and like to
