our churchschool-teachers taking part in dramatic per-
formances, I have consented that Bro. Geo. Cluff may
finish his contract with the Dramatic Association
of Thatcher, which he had made before he had entered
the Churchschool Services. He has only three more
performances to give. I have succeeded to cure
Bro. Cluff of his dramatic and elecutionary craze,
so that he will settle down now for a more steady
course in life. There is a glorious opportunity for
him to do a great work there.
By advice of Pres. Layton, I stopped at Tuczson, on my way to Maricopa, to call on the Division Supt. of the Southern Pacific
to secure halffare rates to Ogden via California. I presented
a letter from Supt. Horsburgh of San Franciso, promising
me halffare rates. That Division Supt. at Tucson treated me
very uncourteous and refused to do anything, ignoring
the letter of his superior. I have seen in the papers since,
that a Strike of the employees along the line was to take
place that same evening, which may account for his
ill humor. I felt mad, took the train for Deming, just
coming in, and wrote a letter of apology to Pres. Hobson
from Deming. At the latter place I held a long conver-
sation with Bishop Johnson, just returned from Mexico.
The Diaz Academy is progressing finely, and the two
teachers will soon apply for Licences.
