CANADA COMMEMORATES EVENT
OF ITS FIRST STEAM VESSEL
IN CROSSING ATLANTIC OCEAN
(By QUINTON JAMES)
*H AMr(nt*e
Jtt*t a hundred years ago the
lirat Canadian vewel crossed the
Atlantic under steam. It was the
Royal William, a combination sail
fog ship and steamer.
Today in commemoration of the
♦vent Canada has. issued a special
stamp of 5-cent denomination. The
central design is a drawing of the
Royal William as, it plowed into
the Atlantic. The color is blue.
She was not th# first steam ves
sel to cross the Atlantic, two others
having accomplished the feat, in
18th and 1827, Nor was she built
with that idea in mind, having
hern intended primarily to run be*
tween Quebec and Halifax.
One of her owners was Samuel
Cunard, and the trip across the
Atlantic was made with the in
tention of selling Her in Europe.
That first trip required 280 days
and 830 tons of coal. Ultimately
sold for approximately $48,000.
she later served in the Portuguese
navy as a transport and in the
Spanish navy a* a warship, being
condemned in 1847.
United State* Usees
Great Britain, the first country
to print an official government
stamp in 1340. has had 28 issues
arnee that time in which there
were basic changes in design.
On the other hand, the United
State* government, which turned
out its first official *tarap in 184?*
ha* had 81 basic issue*, both reg
ular am) commemorative, to date.
It is interesting to note that
early British stamps were only
one and two pence, while the first
en part in many movements for
the welfare and progress of the
city as a whole.
Aside from these activities car
ried on from time to time, the club
has sponsored a number of social
entertainments, all of which have
proved to be most enjoyable
events.
The affair tomorrow afternoon
gives promise of being well-attend
ed, according to those that are
making the arrangements, and a
request is made for all to be on
time for the opening of the social
session, which is one of inany that
will be held during the coming
months.

What’s Happening
It’ll cost collectors quite a bit
to get a complete set of those re
cent Italian airmails issued in con
nection with the Balbo flight. The
entire issue contains 40 different
stamps—each stamp really being
three stamps in one—with a total
face value of $106.72. That figure
doesn’t take into consideration
the rating cataloguers will place
on the issue, either.
Special consideration Is to be
given collectors under anew or
der to postal employes issued by
C. B. Eilenberger. third assistant
postmaster general. He asked
employes to be on the alert for let
ters and parcels appearing to have
a philatelic value, urging that
they be given a clear cancellation
with black ink and that care be
used not to obliterate the stamp.

THU KEY WEST CITIZEN
NELSONS RELATE
STORY OF TRIP
(Continued from Page One)
met by Mr. Nelson’s brother, Carl,
whom he had not seen for 43
years. He was a boy of 12 years
i when they parted in Copenhagen,
Denmark, and now Carl is a gray
haired man of 55.
They breakfased in a hotel and
then started in an auto to the farm
14 miles away. More mountains
.were crossed and driven around
;and after these adventures, ar-j
rived at the farm.
There they met Carl’s family
of six, Mrs. Nelson and five chil
; dren. Four grow-nups and one
| boy of 11 years. There they re-!
jmained for six weeks, visiting the
! neighbors in the surrounding
i country, which is hilly and almost
inaccessible in places,
i Remarking on the clearness of
! the atmosphere, Mr. Nelson stated
I he climbed one of the high moun-'
i tains and could see Mount Cookfj
covered with snow, 110 miles dis-j
tant, as clearly as Sand Key can'
be seen from Key West on a clear
day.
Cold At Timet
At the end of six weeks, the;
weather was rather cold at this
time, especially for Key Westers,;
the return to Cayo Hueso was
started. The sea voyage was
practically the same, stopping at J
the same points. At Tahiti they!
arrived during one of the native,
season festivals and witnessed'
some marvelous dancing by both
men and women. One of the j
suits used in the festival was
brought home by the Nelsons.
Arriving at San Francisco July
29. they remained for two days
and then left over the bus line on 1
the morning of July 31, 8:30)
o’clock.
From Frisco to Oakland by fer
ry and then through hilly country
and farming lands. The through
level sountry to Sacramento. The
harvest season was almost over but
it was learned that there had been
abundant crops.
On the trip from Sacramento
the trail led over mountains and
at times the travelers were 7,000
feet above sea level.
The next stop was at Reno, Ne
vada, the city of speedy divorces.
A waiter in a restaurant told Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson they gould get
a divorce in 30 minutes.,
From there to the Mormon
state of Utah and Salt Lake City
was reached the next morning.
The whole distance between these
cities is practicaly a desert, with
out the slightest sign of vegeta
tion.
Salt Lake is beautifully laid out,
with wide streets 100 feet wide
and sidewalks 25 feet. The blocks
are about 800 feet long with mag
nificent buildings.
Describes Scenes
Temple Square, where the tem
ples and places of worship are, is
10 acres square and surrounded
by a stone wall 12 feet high. In
this is the tabernacle which seats
12,000 worshipers and has a choir
loft that seats 300 people.
The roof of this great edifice
is like an umbrella and not a pillar
in the center. The acoustics of
the temple are so wonderful that
the drop of a pin can be heard
from one end to the other.
The walls are 10 feet thick and
so is the roof. The timbers of
the roof are put together with
wooden pins and rawhide.
In the square is also the temple
which is constructed of native
granite cut in the mountains and
hauled to the site by ox teams.
The walls are eight feet at the bot
tom and six feet at the top. No
other workmen are employed ex
cept Mormons and no one allowed
to visit but followers of the faith.
It took 40 years to build,
i In the square are monuments of

WED THIS WEEK
This is the first week in eight
no marriage licenses have been is
sued from the office of Judge
Hugh Gunn. Eros must be on his
vacation.
During the entire month to date
there have been only six licenses

SOME STINGY

faith, including Brigham Young,
Hiram Joseph Smith and Hiram
Smith, and others who helped to
make the history of the state and
its religion.
There is also a beautiful mus
eum with a large amount of In
dian and Mormon relics. Here
can be seen the ancient clothing
worn in the early days of The Lat
ter Day Saints, and other curios
that are seldom shown.
From Salt Lake City the route
carried the travelers through Wy
oming, Nebraska, Missouri, Ten
nessee. Georgia, into Florida.
Here they stopped at Lake City,
and then to Tampa, and then to
Wauchula, where they had a de
lightful time for one week, with
old friends made when the Nel
sons were living in that section,
nine years ago.
Back to Tampa, then to Braden
ton, Fort Myers, through the Ev
erglades to Miami. After two
days there meeting old friends
they left for Key West, arriving
on Thursday, August 17.
Though Mr. Mrs. Nelson

ience and had a wonderful time in
their travels, they told The Citi
zen they were glad to get back.
