Glover. Took a walk the whole length of Main St. instead and sized up the town. On one side of the street a log residence, the hotel (part boards), the printing office, Woodmans Hall (both log) and school house. On the other side of the street a saloon, a residence & the store. But the log houses are well built, & the town has a beautiful location at the edge of broad valley close to Pine Creek and at edge of a long strip of murry pine that follows down the creek bottoms from the Mts. The creek is a beautiful stream, drawing Fremont lake with unlimited supply of water and power. It has approximately more than 100 feet fall in the 3 miles from the lake to town. Large [[ditches?]] have been taken out & carried over beautiful sage brush mesas of good soil. Good grass &
