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.
