The first stop was Salt Lake Uity, where we took u sightsee ing bus in which we saw not only the city but the surrounding country as well. The Mormons were certainly were preserving people to wrench not only u living but built up a beautiful city in that ulkili soil. Every shrub and tree ha. been set out and has to be watered every day und every lawn is made of soil “hipped in. The pastel colorings of the lake itself made a sight never to be forgotten. The next day we had the thrill of going through the Royal Gorge. We pent nearl ya week in Colorado get ting acquainted with a sister-in-law with whom we had corresponded for years but never seen. I)o you remember Frank Tebow and wife who furnished the music for some special mee tings Rev. Pogue put on? We visited them in Malcom, I own, where he hud held a pastorate in the Baptist church for two years But to our surprise he had resigned to go to school some more. They were going to Chicago the evening o f the same day we started for Topeka.

Oklahoma looked the hardest hit by drought o f any state we were in .but relief came while we were there in four days o f regular Oregon mist. Our nephew took us through a cotton gin explaining all the differ ent processes nml it was one Of the mod interesting things we saw. The cotton crop in California looked su perior to that o f Oklahoma this year.

Two damage suits, each for $10,- 000, against the Southern Pacific company and L. C. Williams were yesterday filed in circuit court by rel atives of two o f the ftvi women who were killed I.abor day hi a train acci dent near Turne.-. Plaintiffs in the suit are A. E. Robertson, administra tor o f the estate o f Ayline Robertson, and H. M. Barnett, administrator of the estate o f Inez Barnett. Williams was the engineer o f the train which struck the car in which the Turner women were riding, going to Salem to work in the canneries. The complaint accuses the South ern Pacific company and its agent, the engineer, o f careless and negli- fence in the operation o f the train and alleges that, contrary to the ordi nance No. 72 o f the city o f Turner regulating speed o f trains in the cit; limits, the defendant was driving said train at speed in excess o f 35 miles an hour, and from 60 to 65 miles an hour. The complaint further alleges that defendants failed, upon approaching crossing, to blow a whistle, ring a bell or give any signal; and in failing to keep a proper lookout for vehicular traffic upon the public crossing. Ayline Robertson was 17 years old and Inez Barnett 15 years old when killed. Both were in good health the complainants state and had they lived during their expectancy, each would have saved and accumulated money an.l property, thq estate which in each case would amount *to $10,000. — Capital Journal . then we are not only trusted with the keeping o f our own souls but that o f someone else’s.
