FROMLOSANGELES Miss Kate Touhey Writes Interesting Letter to Her Brother, James, Here HAD A FINE TRIP Traveled With Lady Whose Husband Controlled the Coffee Market Recently James Touhey has received a letter from his sister, Miss Kate, who ics now located in Lob Angeles, Cal., having been transferred by the treasury department of the United States government from tile Indianapolis of lice, where she had been employed the pust several months. The letter follows: Ix)s Angeles, Calif., May 18, 1921. D»ar Brother; — Arrived here Sunday night at 10:45 after a truly wonderful trip. I don't know that I will he very successful in describing il to you hut will do the best that I can in limited time. Leaving St. Ixiuis we run along the Missouri river for two or three hours right along side of the (rack. The land through that part of Missouri and Kansas is very much the same as in Indiana, therefore not very Interesting in the way of scenery. Got into Kansas City about 4:20 p. m. and met Hancie Enright, who used to he in Decatur years ago, now married to Mr. Qriesheimer of M uncle, and opreuting the Park Hotel in Kansas City. She insisted on my having a cup of coffee with her but the station is so immense there, that I scarcely had time to swallow it and beat it back for the train. Kansas City is extremely hilly, (we would call the hills mountains hack in Indiana). When I woke up the next morning 1 was going through what is called the Bad Linds of Colorado. Miles upon miles of sand covered with sage brush, which is a very small scrubby cedar. There is no water in this section so the land is practically worthless except where they have irrigation plants, and you cannot imagine tile remarkable change. One will run along for miles feeing nothing but that small sage brush and dead dry land, then you will strike an irrigated farm green as velvet. There was a family in my car coming out here to I.os Angeles, who had shipped their pdlly parot by express. They expected to find it at Kansas City and feed it. but Polly missed connections somewhere and there were loud walls of grief and cussing the Missouri-Pacific Railroad company. We heard considerable about Polly for some time hut gradually their grief wore off and 1 lost them at Salt Ijtke City. Out of Pueblo on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad we strike the Rocky Mountains, going through the Royal Gorge. Here the mountains tower hundreds of feet high, sheer rock on one side, und the Arkansas river rushing madly on the other. These mountains are in all kinds of shapes, sharp pinnacles of rock, then rounded, and ever mounting higher and higher. Occasionally deep ravines run away below, seeming to offer away through, then repenting, and ending in towering Willis of rock, shutting out the intruder completely. Linking at these impassable mountains of rock I was lost in wonder at the courage and strength the pioneers had to even attempt to find away through to the other side. Words fail me to.tell you the beauty of the mountain peaks, covered with eternal snow, and glis tening In the sparkling sunlight. For miles they seem to stretch in every direction, criss-cross and cater-cor. tiered. To me what was most beautiful of all is the purple haze that seems to cover them, it is as though you were looking at them through a blue smoke, deeping to all shades of purple, and in the shadows cast by the clouds, to almost black. Below’, these beautiful tints, above, their snow caps dazzling white. In some high places they thrust their peaks through the fieecy clouds, which seemed to hover over them as a protecting mantle. From about noon to 7 that evening we were steadily climbing, two engines pulling us, and near Tennessee pass, 12,000 feet high, we passed through a snow storm. I presume on the mountain tops it was quite heavy, hut we merely had the fringe. Along the road here are built snow breaks, a sort of the old time farm fence. The snow piles against these bars and thus, to some extent, keeps the truck < tear. At Tennessee Pass we cross the divide. On this side all the water luiis to the Atlantic, on the other to the Pacific. Here it grew dark and thus shut out the vie* of these marvelous mountains. Next morning, however, I awoke to find myself stiil among them and remained with them to Salt Lake City, at which place 1 arrived at 11:25 a. m. Here Mr. Murphy, who worked with me in the Indiana office, met me ut the train, and both he and his wife were lovely, entertaining me in the very best way possible. Os course the first point of

Interest was the Mormon temple und tabernacle. The temple is a beautiful piece of architecture, hut not all the Mormons are allowed therein. Only those who live according to the Book of Wisdom, as we were told by the guide, and to live according to that hook, one must not use tea, coffee, liquor, give tithes and a lot of other thingß. On the top of one of the towers is the Angel Morona, who took up into heaven the three gold plates from Josepii Smith, the founder of Mormonism. This statue Is of hammered copper overlaid with sheet gold, hut I presume the action of the weather has tarnished it so that It fails to show up as one would think. The tabernucle is an egg-shaped building seating 8,000 at any time and the guide told us, hud accomodated 15,000. it was built in 1862 to 68 und as nails at that time were SIOO per keg, and hail to he brought over the mountains, there In not a nail in the construetion of tills building, the beams being fitted so perfectly with wooden pins ami bound by rawhide. They have in it one of the finest pipe organs in the country, the timbers being dragged 320 miles. The stone also wus hauled for Hie temple by oxen something over 300 or 400 miles. The sounding properties of this tabernacle are so accurate that we went to the hack part of the building 300 feet away a man standing that far away would whisper. which we heard distinctly. He dropped an ordinary pin into his hat and it seemed that it might have been a nail, the sound was so great. They have a museum on these grounds In which is all kinds of relics, that I would have liked to study had I the time. I did see petrified cliff dwellers with the hair still on their heads. You know Utah is a remarkable state containing the homes of these ancient people dwelling among the cliffs in the sides of the mountains years and years ago. Salt is a wonderful city lighted by the finest system I have yet seen. The same person who planned the lighting for the world's fair at San Francisco put in the plant here, anil on top of tlie high hills that night, one could look down on thousands of twinkling stars of brilliant light. They have some truly fine buildings here, ail owned and controlled by the Mormon church, which is very wealthy be organized as in that church, they and very powerful. They have the finest organization 1 believe in the world anil if any political party could would have a walk-awav. First comes the president of the first council, which is the highest office. Then comes the second council. Then the twelve apostles, Senator Reed Smoot, ranking third, I was told in line to/ the presidency. Then the elders, then the heads of the seventies, down to the readers. Every one has some place in the church and some particular work to do. They have the state divided into precincts and wards for their work, and in fact, it is a wheel within a wheel. Their organization building one would think would he a state capital, so fine and large. They have recently constructed the Utah Hotel, than which there is none finer in any city. I left Salt Like at about 1:30 Thursday, my train being over an hour and a half late. Crossed the Salt Lake, which is, I believe, 100 (Continued -on page four)
