THOSE
HALF -DOLLAR SHIRTS
A PLEASANT TRIP.
Mr. P. R. Plodgeni and Mr. W. N.
Manning returned on Saturday even-
ing from an extensive- trip throughout
the Went. They sty they enjoyed it
atd their looks corroborate their
words, having each a goed coat- of
tan as well as an increase of avoir-
dupois. They Were absent seven
weeks. n
They went to the - Coast via the C.
P. It„ visiting the principal points as
they -weni along. Speaking to The
News -Record MT, Hodgens said that
Winnipeg, Calgary and Vaacouver
were bound to be east trade centres.
The latter city impressed him most.
The trade of the Coast is rapidly leen-
Utilizing there and it seems to have a
great future ahead of it. -
They spent at much time as they
could spare at Banff and the Glacier
House in the Rockies which :have be -
tame great resorts for touriste.
They were ,a few days it Victoria
and also visited Esquitnault and oth-
er places of interest before taking boat
for San Francisco. Tlte. titer of t
Golden Gate did not very favorably
impress thein except from a sight-
seer's standpoint, They " took in"
all the sights:, including China Town
where 30,000 Mongolians congregate.
Their return home was by the
southern route and they remained ov.
er a week in Denver, Colorado. While
there they paid a visit to fatuous
Pike's Peak, nearly 15,000 feet above
. sea level, and from the sunintat saw
the sun rise, or.e of the gratidest views
itnagitable. From the point where
the escent begins in earliest it is but
one mile in a straight line to the
summit, but by the tortuous course of
the " cog" railway it is nine miles.
The trip up was made at two o'clock
ee in the morning.
. Messrs. Hodgen$ and Manning spent
a day in Salt take City and visited
the great Ifformott Tabernacle, a mon-
ument to the industry and teal of the
followers of Joseph Smith. The tab-
ernacle was built When the tearest
point readied by a 'railway was near-
ly a thousand miles distant. The
roof is shaped like a turtle's beck, is
ten feet thick and lit its construe.
tion wooden pegs mid gut were
used instead of hails. The a-
coustic properties of the Madill
which Will hold 9,00e0 people, are re-
markable, a person spa eing in a

It has not been • very generally
known that the Laurier Government
kas had a force of 'men engaged build-
ing a wharf at St. Joseph, but such
is the case, hevertheless. The work
had made considereble• progress wilco
the storm of Saturday intervened and
•swept away what had been accomp-
lished. • .
This St, Joseph wharf illustrates
the utterly reckless extravagance of
the Government and even black -is
