from the rest, and these are sold to poor people at
the cost of the material. There is one kind of cracker
exceedingly light and palatable, the broken parts of
which are ground up into what is called "Angels
Food," for babies. Col. Trumbo took Brother Cannon
and myself from the factory to the Alaska Commer-
cial Co., and introduced us to M^r. Sloss, President
of the company, and from there went to the Pacific
Bank, and was introduced to Dr. R. H. M^cDonald,
who is the President of the Bank. He gave us a most
interesting discription of his settlement at Nauvoo as a
practicing physician, just before our people were driven
out. He described the part he had taken in defending us,
and the threats he had received because of his friendship. He
had visited Springfield and had seen the Governor, Ford,
and represented to him and to other leading men the
condition of affairs at Nauvoo. He was also at Nauvoo
when the City was attacked by the mob, and spoke of the
death of Captain Anderson and his son. He had seen
them when they were killed. His recital of events there
and of the share he had taken in them was listened to with
much interest by all of us. He spoke very warmly of the
