Home again to Nebraska; The Nobbjest
The Noblest, The Nicest State
After All
Home. June 5th, 1877.
In the years gone by, as we gathered
round the camp fires on the bald prair
ies of Nebraska, and counted the years
until the great trans-continental Rail
road should be built and this immense
country fairly developed, among the
dreams of life was this hoping to
be one of th e first correspondents that
Would cross the plains, and while all
Was yet fresh and new and untold by
pen or pencil, to write the history
of this wonderful region in words that
many men would read, and paint the
strange weird scenes soon to be com
mon property of half the avorld in
unique pen pictures that would live
perhaps for aye.
The mutations of time brought th?
great railroad, years before w dreampt
the time could come, and developed
the fertile plain, and Nebraska grew
and blossomed as the rose; but others
pictured the wonders of the great
Platte Valley, the terrors of the wide
Alkali plains, the delight of Echo and
Weber and for the first time in my
life I found my self the other "day on
the road to Salt Lake, across the
boundless plain once known as the
great American desert.
THE EDITORIAL EXCURSION l'ARTY
of Nebraska left Omaha May i.'4th on
the 11:30 train from Omaha, over the
great TJ. P. R. li. with a joily party of
CO persons aboard.
The first and in fact all portions of
the road have been so often and so
completely described by tourist after
tourist and writer after writer that
I could not hope to present it in a new
light and 'shall rot attempt it. These
remarks will be confined to our sensa
tions on the trip, the advantages of
the different regions passed over and
the probable results of further cultiva
tion civilization, !tc.
FROM OMAHA TO NORTH PLATTE
we pa3 over a fertile region, adapted
to the highest S3-3tem of agriculture
that modern science has developed.
From there westward we approach
the regions where irrigation is necess
ary for crops, but grasses of the most
nutritious quality still flourish, and
large herds of cattle and sheep feed on
the broad expanse.
SIDNEY.
TTithin the limits of this article it
is impossible to mention all the towns
we pass through, arid not necessary to
dwell on their peculiarities or advan
tages, beautiful as many of them are,
and desirable as the whole region is
for the emigrant and agriculturist.
They have been described so often that
only those having peculiar attractions
or later dsvelspments will be treated
of here.
Since any patent guide books have
been issued Sidney has become one of
the great outfitting points from which
to reach the new and rich mineral de
velopments in the Black Hills. Until
a few months ago it was described as
a station on the U. P., 414 mile3 from
Omaha, 4073 feet above sea level, and
a subdivision of the road. To clay it
is perhaps the most lively and enter
prising town on the road. New houses
have sprung "up hourly, hotels have
been thrust up from the prairie, and
four horse coaches and six mule teams
stand ready to haul men or freight to
any quarter of the Black Hills at all
hours. The. depot is crowded with
unique Specimens of frontier life. The
rattle of the dice box and the shout of
tho keno man mingle queerly with
the scream of the locomotive and the
click of the type setters in the T?!-;-raph
offce. PamiSiar faces that you
may hare known any where from Maine
to California at some time greet you
in the streets, und everybody is alive,
hpppy, and apparently sanguine and
triumphant. Get out, grasshoppers,
Sidney don't care!
CHEYENNE,
316 miles from 'Omaha and GO 11 feet
elevation is perhaps the next point pre
senting peculiar attractions for our
purpose. It is the Capitol of Wyoming
Territory. The Penver Pacific II. R.
here leaves for Greely and Denver, and
the tourist f of Colorado generally. Here
we may find Gov. Thayer, when at
heme, and did find St. A. D. Balcombe,
Wm. Sweezy, and several other'Nebras
kans too numerous to mention.' The
stock interests which eenter here are
Immense; it is also a great outfitting
point for the Black Hills since the dis
covery of gold there. Stock thrive
winter and summer on the native grass-
s. Mos3 aga!x3 and precious stones
sage brush and aikali patches seem to
bs scattered around from here en pretty
evenly. You pays your money, you
takes year choice of any or all of thera,
that is if the cars would stop and let
you.
We liac left Nebraska and all that
pertains to her surrouudings behind
us now and enter a region so en
tirely different that an absolute change
of nomenclature must be1 studied to
even describe it. The green" grabs' of
the nrairie has disappeared, huge Loul-
dtis are piled in every fantastic shape, j
the earth changes, varies in color, and
the rock? change to suit the whims of
mother earth. Sage brash abounds.
Grease wood crouches on the plain, and
snow capped peak appear on both
side? of the ioa3
AT SHERMAN
we pass the highest point over which
the R. It. crosses the Rocky Mountains
650 miles from Omaha, 8,242 ft. eleva
tion. When the road was completed it
was the highest point reached by' rail,
it lias since' been eclipsed in that res
pect. Here every body gets out to see
if they can feel (?) any difference in
the air, tradition avowing that many
people cannot breathe comfortably at
this height. 1 must confess that I
could perceiye no difference, I think
the air very common about Sherman
just as it is here.
DOWN WE CiO
to the great Laramie plains, over Dale
Creek bridge of course, and all won
der at its delicate tracery and fancy
the consequences should it breakdown,
or the train by some means leave the
track. At Laramie 23 miles fiom Sher
man we have dropped almost 1,200
ft and enter upon the great sheep
plains. To the Southwest the snowy
range glitters in the sun, to the right
we catch a glimse of white sheen from
Wind river mountains or peaks in the
Black Hills.
6?8 m:les from Omaha, at Carbon,
we strike the first coal beds of the U.
P. The veins are six feet thick, about
150 men are employed in the mines, the
road uses the coal. For domestic pur
poses the Rock Springs coal is the best
however.
BITTER CREEK,
so well known in freighting days, can
not be passed without at least a. l:ue;
for what old Nebraskan has'rot'known
some cuss from Bitter' Creek" in
the course of his pilgrimage. The wa
ters of this stream are indeed so bitter
with' alkali as to be almost useless; the
whole country though is underlaid with
coal.
Rock Springs, 831 miles from Omaha,
is the great coal station on the line. It
is a lignite but little inferior to anthra
cite. GREEN RIVER.
The Green River country abounds in
beautiful scenery, "(Castle Rock, The
Twin Sisters, Giant's Club. Giant's Tea
Pot," and buttes and crags of every
grade and shape can be seen while pass
iug through this region. Petrified fish
sre found in great numbers. Chnrcli
Buttes are a wonderful formation, but
the action of the weather and the in
creased rain fall is fast decrepitating
the rocks so that scientists estimate
that in 50 years there will be hardly a
vestige of these beautiful shapes left
for travelers to wonder at.
Moss agates and other valuable
stones are found here. The rocks seem
piled in ruch wonderful masses,
while the country, barren and sterile,
is ridged with chasms and cleft with
seams so ruggedly, that the constant
query runs in the mind: What was
this all made for ? It certainly seems
of no use only to look and wonder at.
The snow sheds are thick here, near
Piedmont we passed through one 2700
feet in length.'
SWEET WATER.
Whether to offset bitter creek, or for
some otuer goou reason, tne stream
which bears this euphonious name
winds through. "Devils Gate" in sinu
ous wavy threads, that might with pro
priety give it the name of Silver Wa
ter. "Independence Rock" and "Twin
Teak," both land marks on the old stage
line can be seen as we pass along the
Sweet Water.
WAHSATCII,
on the divide between Bear river and
Echo Canon, 9(J3 miles from Omaha,
GS7l feet elevation, is the last point be
fore w e reach one of the great wonders
of the route:
ECHO CANON.
To most of our party this was entire
ly new and enchanted ground. Excla
mations of wonder, awe and astonish
ment broke forth at every curve in the
road. One pair of eyes are not enough
to take in its beauties in one trip, and
yet strange to say, the postal clerks and
railroad men pass daily without a sign,
and some of them do not even, know
the names of many of the wonders we
momentarily exclaim about. So sure
ly does familiarity breed contempt, ev
en when applied to the great works of
Nature.
Both this and Weber Canon have
been described so often that it will
not be attempted here in detail. "Sen
tinel Rock, The Witches, Needle Rocks.
The Tombs, Pulpit Rock, Monument
Rock, the beautiful scene at the mouth
of tho Canon, and the Cliffs" form the
principal land marks known to trav
ellers, but weeks could be spent there,
and new beauties found every day and
hour.
WEBER.
Beyond Echo we pass the thousand
mile tree, a gaunt oak with one rag
ged arm extended, from which swings
a sign telling you that 1000 miles of
U. P. iron rails have been travelled
over.
The "Devil's Slide" amused the prin
ters greatly, and the jokes of the boys I
on the feelings of the old man did he j
ever slide down there were immense
on the other hand if this schute had
any relation to printer's devils, the
conjectures regarding the condition of
their pants after the slide were exceed
ingly humorous.
Weber Station, 1008 miles from Oma
ha, 5.130 feet up in the world, is a Mor
mon village, and here for the first time
we see
z. c. 51. I.
"Holiness to the Lord" cabalistic
characters engraved on the mind of ev
ery one who ever visited Utah.
The first named urinal translated
are, Zion's Co-operative Mercantile In
stitution," and the last is the motto
they claim to da business on, Ave sup
IKise. The scenes through Weber canon are
a3 varied and beautiful as in Echo,
though of a different style. We pass
through a tunnel in Weber and then to
oeuEN,
the last town on the V. V. IX. R. and
the last on Weber river before it enters
into great Salt Lake. It is 1033 miles
from Omaha; and is also the real busi
ness Junction of the U. P. U. K., and
the C. P. R. R." The U. P. track irT ac
tually laid a few rnilea XurtheT wear,
but for all practical purposes Ogden is
the terminus of the U. P.
Here some of our party stopped, our
self among the number, others went on
Saturday evening and arrived in Salt
Lake about 8 o'clock. President Brig"
ham Young placing h'is own private
car at the "disposal of the Nebraska ed
itors for their use and comfort.
Ogden claims 7,000 people a majori
ty of whom are Mormons. It is divi
ded into upper and lower Ogden, one
on the bench at the very foot of the
mountains and the other on the rlat.
upper Ogden is mostly devoted to
handsome residences and lower to bus
iness. They have a Mormon Taberna
cle, and Episcopal, Methodist and
Presbyterian Churches, two papers;
the rreenian. Gentile; and the Junc
tion, Mormon. Beardsley, of Lincoln,
once, keeps the eating house and keeps
a good one too.
NEBRASKANS.
In short all along the road we find
Nebraskans and Salt Lake is full of
them, one feels at home most any
where and. can drop down tn some
chap and talk of the old days any
place he puts up at.
. Ogden canon is very.fine, a number
rode out to see it on Sunday, (couldn't
help it, you know,'it was then or not
at all).
This Editor sat in a big arm chair
all day long, sick, mad, hungry, and
'dassent eat'. Never mind, we saw
big mountains covered with snow right
at the end of our nose almost. It fair
ly seemed as if we could hook the pines
in with our cane. Think of that the
2Gth of May. Then we saw Mr. Dee,
Ann Eliza's first husband who lived
next door and we read the history of
the Mormons and watched the blue
clouds with the peaks showing through
while the wife went to the tabernacle
and heard Brigham preach, a mild ser
mon of ?4 of an hour long; then Elder
Cannon (smooth bore they call him)
arose and shot off anything but blank
cartridges at the Gentiles for one hour
and a half, gave us "Hail Columbia,"
they say. It was called Conference
Meeting.
Some of the twelve Apostles and
a number of the Bishops were all up in
the big square pulpit which brother
Brigham preaches from. Among the
rest were John Young, called the Apos
tate, a son of Brigham.
These conferences have been held
this winter and spring all through the
Territory, their object is to unite the
Monnens and increase religious zeal:
in short, a sort of Mormon revival, or
camp meeting.
e;EX. tom Turn
with his wife and Miss Minnie Warren
accompanied us from Evanston in the
same train, they a!so laid over at Og
den and attended the tabernacle.
They were udmitte-d through a side
door to the pulpit and were introduced
to Brigham, the apostles and others
while Apostle Cannon was preaching.
The boys thought it a good joke on the
little General to bf thus received into
thbosom of tho Mormon Church, as it
were. In the late evening we manag
ed to walk round town a little and
thus passed our first Sunday in Mor
mondom. MONDAY MORNING
we left for Salt Lake City, by the Utah
Central R. R. Bishop John Sharp Su
perintendent and a mighty grand Su
perintendent he makes too, for the
Nebraska boys at least, showing us ev
ery kindness and passing us to and
from over the road in every way that
could best facilitate our movements
or enable us to acquire information.
Utah
was settled in '47, by the Mormon?, the
country then belonged to Mexico. In
'48 it was ceeded to the U. S. but being
thought comparatively worthless no
government was extended over it and
the Mormons set up a government
which they called "The State of Deser
el"; from this name comes the frequent
title of Deseret in Utah, as the Deseret
Nat. Bank. The Deseret News.tlie Des
eret Co-op. etc.
In 1850 the U. S. ignored the Des
eret government and organized a Ter
itorial government over tho country
calling it Utah, Brigham Young being
appointed the first governor. In
1870 it ha 1 90,000 population by U. S.
census. It is now estimated at 130,000

SALT LAKE CITY.
one of the wonders of the world, thir
ty years ago a dt-sert wa-te, fifteen
years ago, even, but a collection of in
significant adobe houses, to day is a
magnificent creation of human energy
and skill. From out this desert, this
alkali plain, has arisen a cLy as won
derful, a people as curious, and a
wealth as boundless as the wildest
stories of eastern romance or western
novelism ever evolved from o'er
wrought brain or semi-trance. It is
to us a new world, another creation;
allther cities in America are but col
lections of houses, more or less cosily
or imposing; herds of human beings
striving to trample each other under
foot, in the good old fashioned way.
mostly after the same pattern and the
same methods: here we have a new
Revelation, a new climate, new styles
of architecture, and different motives,
arms and objects in life. The same
ness and lameness of other cities dis
appear in S ilt Lake, an I for a season

mormons.
We had no idea people were so cu
rious about the Mormons'. Since re
turning we have been' questioned over
and over with great minuteness abo'ut
Brigham" Young." the people, the city.
For these reasons we shall devote more
time to SaU Lake, and what little in
formation we were able to gather
about Mormons than we had at first
intended.- .
WHAT TVE-riD.
The main portion of the Editorial
Excursion arrived in Salt Lako Satur
day evening, May 26, and on Sunday
viewed the city in carriages. Sunday
afternoon Elder Orson Pratt preached
in the Tabernacle to the editors directs
We did not Iar the senrtcn, biit the
Tribune thinks he tried to bamboozle,
the Nebraska editors, lie recounted
the trials and tribulations of the Mor
mons, their persecutions by the Gen
tiles and their de iverance from many
straits by the hands of the Lord. He
instanced tho water around Black
Rock, and the increased rain-fall in
the territory as God's work to help the
Mormons. Denied emphatically that
they had any idea of war, bloodshed
or armed resistance," and advised us
all to go home and tell the truth about
the Mormons and nothing else
which we are about to do.
THE TRUTH.
The burden of Mormon talk is in
fact that they are persecuted and lied
about, by the gentiles and the gentile
press and we heard a number of re
quests like this, only tell the truth
about us, and no lies and we are satis
fied. The trouble is that truth in this
world looks so .different to different
parties and is so much warped by the
prejudices, ambitions and yearnings of
poor human nature Jiat what seems
absolute truth to one person or set of
persons appears gross superstition or
abominable lying to others. "To at
tempt to pass any really intelligent
opinion of the Mormon question from
a three ihvys visit would be the height h
of foil-. We can say this, there is a
deep and terribly strong feeling be
tween the two classes, Gentiles and
Mormons. The Gentiles accuse the
Mormons of liyng, wilful deception and
inculcating vows of vengeance and hate
against every Gentile who comes to
Utah to live.
The Mormons on the other hand say
they are lied about, imposed on by the
government officials, and threatened
with destruction and annihilation by
the gentiles. They accuse them of
bringing druidieness, gambling, and
prostitution in their train, of endeav
oring to subvert the religion, pursuits
and intents of a peaceful, quiet and
industrious people.
No person who has not been on the
ground can form an idea how these
views and opinions have become de
veloped in the residents there, and how
absedutely they enter into every walk
of daily life; in business, friendships,
politics, and religion.
If a gentile shows the least tenden
cy to excuse Moiinonism, if he av ws
friendly feeling personally, he is at
once dubbed "Jack Mormon."' If a
Mormon associates too large'. y with
gentiles, or approves of their coining
and settling, and disapproves of polyg
amy he is soon set dowu as an " A pos
tate." A Mormon mu3t implicitly believe
in and encourage Monuonism, church
rule and dislike of gentiles (to sav the
least) to remain in good fellowship
with his kind, and the gentiles must as
absolutely deny Mormons nearly all
goodness, manhood, truth or virtue, or
labor under the suspicion of secretly
being in sympathy with Mormons and
Mormon doctrines.
That such a state of society creates
strong prejudices any one can see, but
that there is 01 was any desire on the
part of the Mormons to rebel against
the Government, to shed blood, to fight,
in plain English, is in our opinion all
bosh. Strong as the two factions op
pose each other, wide as their differen
ces are, fierce as they strive for the pow
er to rule the Territory, nothing so ab
surd as armed resistance ever entered
the mind of Brigham Young, nor of
any sensible mormon. Nor will sensi
ble persons east believe the views held
out by many mormons, viz: Thai the
Government, that means the gentiles
and all of us propose to anger, taunt
or force the mormon people into open
rebellion that they may seize their
wealth and their hard earned property,
wrenched from tho tlesert's arid waste.
The idea is preposterous, whatever ig
noraut ruffians or too aspiring politi
cians may have dreamed of, rest assur
ed the people, the great American Na
tion, would never assent to any such
vandalism, and woe be to the men who
wtuiM attempt it. The mormons are
entitled to great credit for their perse
verance, their pluck, their work. "They
have m;ide a city and a country a-most
literally, as of yore, from nothing
from nothing that other people ever
tried to make cities of. We should al
ways remember that. They have rights
there. They have already a patent, so
to speak, on the country, they invent
ed it, they made it what it is; nothing
urged against them can wipe this fact
out.
On the other hand they cannot ex
pect to disobey the laws, to set up one
man power as above that of regular
government, or to ask for one kind of
law for the Mormon and another for
the gentile, be it about marriage, relig
ion, or anything else.
The N. Y. Herald correspondent dis
torted Brig'iain's words, thre is no
question about that. Fairly read and
interpreted they could not be constru
ed into a threat against the. U. S. or the
Gentiles even, as from mormon hands.
We do not believe there is any arming
and drillhig. To be on the safe sidf?
Gov. Emery made a requisition for j
more troops, perhaps he was right;
they can do no harm, but no more se
rious outbreak was ever contemplated
there than here last fall when we heard
the cry of "Hitchcock and anti Hitch
cock" or "Rose water and anti Rose
water." It is just such a strifo. It is
a nzm iu lunijuci. i "uui I

Honey,
I'itelier's "astorIa is a complete substi
tute for Castor Oil, and is as pleasant to take as
Honey. It is particularly adapted 10 Teething
and irritable children. It destroys worms, as
smiilates the food, regulates the' stomach, and
cures .vind colic. Few remedies are as efliea
cioii3 f'.ir Fevorishness. e'roup, Worms, and

purely vegetable preparation, more effective
than Castor Oil, and neither fairs nor gripes.
