Latter-day Saints, Col. Trumbo took us to lunch at the
california market. "we then returned to the Grand
Hotel, and from there we took cars to the railroad
station for Monterey. Mr Badlam accompanied
us. on the cars was Senator Stanford. I had a conver-
sation with the Senator. He is very kindly disposed and
cherishes a very warm regard for President Young,
and our people generally, and I believe he is a true
friend of ours. He got off the train at Menlo Park. The
line of railway from San Francisco to Monterey runs
through a most beautiful country. The San Mateo Co.
Santa Clara, and San Jose and Pajaro Valleys are
very lovely we reached Del Monte, as the hotel and
and station is called, (120 miles), in the evening,
and were driven in the omnibus to the hotel, which
was only a short distance. To avoid being interviewed
M^r Badlam had us registered in his own peculiar
way and we had rooms assigned to us in a very
beautiful part of the house. The manager of the hotel
is an old friend and partner of his, and this was
an advantage to us. The dining room is very large,
and though simply furnished, is very beautiful. We
had a very good dinner. The drawing rooms of this
hotel open to the public, are very beautifully furnished and
very spacious. It is said to be the best appointed hotel in
the world and certainly everything that money could
purchase in fitting it up and providing it with every
modern improvement has been done.
