Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sept. 29,9.30 a. m. 
We arrived here safe and sound this morn¬ 
ing and are in the hands of the Union Pa¬ 
cific R. R. Co., at their emigrant depot. 
Everything is clean and well regulated, 
and they will take good care of us from 
this place on through. The Southern Pa¬ 
cific competition stirs this road up and 
makes them do as well as they can by us. 
In fact we are better looked after than first 
class passengers who have to look out for 
themselves. The Emigrants are of the bet¬ 
ter class: the poorer class cannot go so far. 
There are better dressed and just as good, 
if not better, looking people than we in the 
crowd. Shall get our last meal of warm 
victuals here, |for 25 cents. All imaginable 
supplies are kept on hand, that we could be 
supposed to need on the journey, at cheap 
prices. Emma has gone to bed to get some 
rest, as our train does not leave till 5, i\ k. 
We are well pleased with second class and 
emigrant fare so far, with the exception of 
one division of the Chicago, Rock Island 
and Pacific Road, where they crowded us 
and tried to make us ride in a smoking car. 
From Davenport. Iowa, to this place, we 
rode in a first class car and had a whole seat 
each from Iowa City here. Rested and 
slept as well as we could in a R. R. car. 
Most of the passengers are going to Cal., 
but lots of them go to the Sound. The 
weather is cloudy and foggy, a little chilly 
but not cold. Have just had a good din¬ 
ner, the first at a table since we left home. 
We now really commence on our journey. 
Guess we will stand it all right.
