Trip to the Great Northwest
By A. T. GREEN
® (CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK)
We now come into the state of Utah,
:ue first stop wo iuuk<-'“ being Qgden,
which Is a Urge place on the Orejjt
Short Line railroad surrounded by some
verjt nice looking farming country uudet
irrigation .ys we pass down toward the
Great Salt Lake country in the Salt l,»l 1*
Valley; to our left is the great high
mountain that seems to tower above the
valley like a great cloud: to our right is
a wide stretch of level . .entry , v<t?
ed with grass, and lots of fine cattle feed
tug on same. Sorely this i- a laud of
plenty. iNow we are nearing Salt Lake
City and will attempt to tell something
of the place, it is a busy town with large
blocks and wide stieets, with massive
storrf'of all kinds. The place that most
interested the writer,, as well as most
visitors, was the Temple Block
The first place visitjd was the bureau
of Information where strangers are cor-
dially welcomed into comfortably lur
nished rooms and at brief intervals par
ties are formed and escorted through
the buildiogs and grounds by ladies and
gentleman who give their time freelly
lor the entertainment of the visiting
public. We visited first the assembly
hall, a semigothic structure of gray gran-
ite which occupies the southwest corner
ot the grounds It Is 68x120 feet with
a seating capacity of about 2,000. It is
tor roligious services, public lectures and
Concerts, f o r which the Tabernacle
would be too large, There arc'no rented
scats or pews in any of the places of
worship as all people are served alike,
we were informed, banker aud day Jab-
orei seating themselves side by tide,
Ko collections are made and no contri-
bution Loses are found in the place.

next visited the Great tabernacle, one of
the wonderes of the world. We enter-

we rested until morning, then took a
look at the great capital building. Wt
went up in the g^eat dome where w»
eouid see the city which was a great
sight to us. We could see the snow

their dead ancestors and quote 1st Cor,

You Grasp It?
Washington, D. C.
Without any previous knowl-
edge of bookkeeping or short-
hand I entered your college and
s udied both subjects, Zheu,
without one day’s experience as
i bookkeeper. I passed the
bookkeepers (rumination a s
given under the U S. Civil ser-
v ee rule, and aui employed in
the U. S. Treasury Department
here. After leaving school 1
did not use my shorthand one
diy for more than two years.
Then I went in an office and took
business dictation and transcribed
my notes without the least diffi-
culty. If you are contemplating
taking a business course, take
none except the “Byrne”.—
Will Rarnett.
I entered the C. C. B, C. the
19th day of July and after taking
combined course for four
months and two days I accepted
position a s bookkeeper and
stenographer at the Union Nat-
ionnl Bank of Chandler, Okla
homa, and have had no trouble
at all with my work.—Lawr
ENCE COX.

ing aud Shorthand in existence.

ment is also operated.
