prophet of Mormonism, whose face impresses 
you with its strongly marked features as a man 
of indomitable purpose, and as has been said of 
Napoleon, as a man with “a will despotic in its 
own dictates,” an eye indicating a mind that is 
far-seeing and overshadowing all, a nature domi¬ 
nated by the sensual and baser appetites. Here 
also is “Temple Square,” where are situated the 
Mormon Temple, Tabernacle and Assembly Hall, 
which are visible from nearly every part of the 
city. With the exception of St. Patrick’s Cathe¬ 
dral in New York, the temple is the most costly 
church building in this country. For reasons it 
was forty years under construction; it is 200 
feet long, 100 feet wide and 100 feet high, with 
harmony with President Roosevelt’s ideas against 
“race suicide”), and had adopted two, and that 
the reason his other wives who had died were 
not buried in the same burying ground with 
Brigham was because the city council had passed 
an ordinance forbidding the burying of anyone 
else within the city limits. 
You frequently see the sign, “Z. M. C. I.,” 
which means “Zion’s Co-operative Mercantile 
Institution.” I was told that throughout the city 
and the State they have branch houses con¬ 
nected with the great central institution. They 
have banks, hotels and schools. One of the most 
imposing and costly hotels of the city. The 
Utah, was built largely, if not entirely, with 
California F. G. F. Protective League.

The California State Fish, Game and Forest 
Protective League, formerly known as the Cali¬ 
fornia Fish and Game Protective Association, 
recently adopted a new constitution and by-laws, 
and the naming of committees has just been 
completed. The officers are: President, Dr. A. 
M. Barker, San Jose; Vice-President, Plarry A. 
Greene, Monterey, and Secretary-Treasurer, E. 
A. Mocker, Capitola. One director has been 
chosen for each fish and game district as fol¬ 
lows: District No. 1, Mason Case, Corning; 
District No. 2, W. W. Monroe, Sebastopol; Dis- 
DELTA OF UPPER YELLOWSTONE RIVER.

money belonging to the Mormon Church. It 
does not matter how adversely you criticise the 
way the authorities of the church use the tithe 
money, yet the fact remains that in the use of 
the money at their command they are the over¬ 
shadowing power in a financial way in the city, 
notwithstanding a greater per cent, of the popu¬ 
lation is Protestant in belief and practice. There 
are many magnificent residences that attract you 
as you are looking over the city, many business 
houses that from their spaciousness indicate the 
great volume of business done, the great pleasure 
resort, Saltair Beach, with its splendid pavilion 
and bathing, the panoramic view from Ensign 
Peak about which I would like to tell you, but 
space forbids. Our next will deal with some of 
the wonders of Yellowstone Park.

consists of A. E. Holmes, San Jose; M. J. Geary, 
San Francisco, and Harry Harper, Capitola. 
This organization has been in existence for over 
thirteen years, and many important measures for 
the protection of fish and game have been fos¬ 
tered by it.

a tower at each corner 220 feet in height. The 
walls are massive and solid, being ten feet thick, 
built altogether of white granite taken from 
Cottonwood Canon, and as has been already in¬ 
dicated, stands on one of the loftiest points in 
the city, and it is said that it can be seen for 
fifty miles down the valley. Across the street 
.are the Beehive and Lion Houses, which were 
once the homes of Brigham Young and his 
multitudinous wives. The old prophet’s body 
now lies in the tomb in the square across the 
street from the “Temple- Square,” with two of 
his wives buried by his side, while his spirit has 
been passed upon by Him, Who judges everyone 
according to that which he hath done. Our 
guide informed us that Brigham had nineteen 
wives, fifty-two children (he worked in perfect
