It is not only uni que in its temple, tabernacle and other Mormon church institutions, but quaint in appearance, with its wide streets, im mense blocks and martial rows of shade trees. It has, perhaps, more attractions to the square yard than any city in the country, and its climate, while temper as, ail the year round, is particularly delightful in summer. The Great Salt Lake, with its magnificent Saltair resort, where the wales to “deader and denser” than that in the Dead Sea in Palestine isaa attraction in itself that people come miles to see. There are many cool mountain and lake resorts near by. also-numerous very pretty canon and pash drives, and hot sulphur springs. Fishing and buntiog can be had in every direction. The trip from Denver to Salt Lake City and Ogden, via the Den- :r 3k Rio Grande and the Rio Grande I’cstern. is one of unsurpassed pleas ure. Here aature is found in her stern est mood and the whole line it a suc cession of rugged canons, waterfalls and-picturesque valleys. No European trip-can compare with it in graudeur of scenery.
