and we phoned the hotel at our next stop and arranged for them to hold the purse and money for him. It was there when we returned from Canada.

Another excursion we took to Canada was also under the able leadership and supervision of Brother Normal Erickson, who was a very able and efficient supervisor. We went west through the Rocky Mountains, after visiting the Cardston Temple, over a very picturesque and beautiful country, including the wonderful trip up Mt. Ranier to the Glacier and down to Seattle and Portland, When at Portland, we stayed over night with Kneland C. Tanner, son of my sister Annie C. Tanner. He is a prominent lawyer in Portland and has a beautiful home on the west side of Portland. He drove us around the city and we got a good view of the city. He and his lovely wife took us into their beautiful home and treated us royally.

We also took an excursion to visit the temples south of Salt lake City. This was under the sponsorship of Brother Bradford and most of us were temple workers. We left Salt Lake quite early in the morning and went through the St. George Temple that evening. The next day we went to Boulder Dam, which was not finished at the time. We had to go back to las Vegas to get a place o spend the night. The next day we had trouble with flat tires and were late and had trouble in finding a place to stay at night, but we arrived at Mesa the next day and were received kindly by Brother Charles R. Jones, president of the Mesa Temple. Brother Phelps, half brother to Joesph Phelps, and an own cousin of the Clarks, took us to his home, where we stayed with him and his lovely wife. Both of them were temple workers and were taking the same parts as Wealthy and I were taking. We had the pleasure of being the witnesses in two of the temple on the trip. Bro. and Sister Phelps took us around the country, visiting the orange, lemon and grapefruit orchards and seeing some of the Ancient Canals and other relics of by-gone days, built by a people little known by the people of the world.
