north wing of the building, consisting of twenty-seven rooms, and costing $25,000, is near completion, and the college will open in September, 1893. No expense or labor is to be spared to maintain one of the greatest nonsectarian training schools for teachers in the land. Owing to its connection with the already thoroughly equipped and well-established Conservatory of Music, musical advantages are open to all attending the College, as are the advantages of the College to those attending the Conservatory. The training in all departments will be modern,

the attendance during the first year having exceeded the highest expectations. Each department is complete in itself and furnished with instructors of ability and years of experience as educators. A noticeable feature of the Conservatory, is that of enabling its pupils to progress rapidly, thoroughly, and artistically, by means of the understanding inculcated while beginning their studies. Its pupils are spared years of superfluous work, the degree of excellence not being lowered by reducing the time of study; and although many years can well be spent

in the Conservatory, young teachers who can attend but for a few months, will find it greatly to their advantage to do so. No efforts will be spared to make this institution the most practical and useful one of its kind in

America. Besides the fine College and Conservatory, now in course of erection in Brighton, there will always be a thoroughly equipped department near the business center of the city for the accommodation of those who may

find it more convenient. This young, but live and thriving institution is the pride of Utah and the intermountain region.

The social amusements of the city are pre-eminently refined, a fact notably demonstrated in the several literary, musical and athletic clubs. All first-class theatrical attractions stop at the city for from three to four nights. It is a matter of congratulation that only first-class companies can afford to make the long jump from Denver to Salt Lake City and San Francisco.

Among the resorts of Salt Lake City are Fort Douglas, situated on the eastern bench and affording an excellent view of the city, Liberty Park, whose drives are exceptionally fine, and the Warm Springs, two miles from the Temple, the waters

of which come from the rock, 103° Fahr., and are beneficial in cases of rheumatism and kindred troubles. Two miles farther are the famous Hot Springs, possessing almost identical properties with those of the Arkansas Hot Springs. The attractions of the popular resort of Great Salt Lake are too well known to be dwelt upon. The buoyancy of the waters is wonderful. In either shallow or deep water one is able to float like a cork, holding the shoulders and head well out of the water. The waters themselves have many hidden virtues, such as curative powers in various nervous disorders,

and a bath is a boon

alike to the healthy and feeble. Ample provisions are made for the comfort

of the bather or spectator at Garfield Beach. Music, dancing and all sorts of amusements are provided. A new resort, the Saltair Beach, which boasts of one of the handsomest pavilions in the country, fifteen minutes' ride from the city, has just been completed and opened to the public. It will afford further accommodations for all who visit this glorious lake. The boat club have their boat house and headquarters at the lake, and a regatta is among the many attractions every summer.

There are many other attractive resorts hidden among the mountains whose rugged grandeur encircles the beautiful valley.

The cañons that break the mountain fastness are an inexhaustible source of gratification to the explorer. They are possessed of great beauty at all seasons of the year; in the spring when they are pervaded with that mysterious sense of awakening nature, when the birds are returning and the breezes are laden with a fresh, sweet odor more pungent than sandalwood and myrrh, in the summer when every tree, brush and bank is clothed

in the voluptuous effulgence of leaves and flowers, in the autumn when the gorgeous red brown, gold and orange sunset tints cast their glow over mountain and valley, and in the winter when white-frosted trees thrust their branches up from gulches deep with snow, and the fleet hare leaves the imprint of his little feet on its surface, betraying his home to the hunter. Far up in some of these cañons are summer camping-grounds, walled in by high stone barricades rich with granite. There among the dense foliage, by the side of the bounding ice-cold mountain streams, summer idlers build their cabins and erect their tents, forming little col

onies where they may enjoy an uninterrupted siesta for weeks if they so desire. There are also hotels in some localities, hidden among the mountains in such picturesque wildernesses, that while one may find there congenial companionship among pleasure or health seekers, sportsmen or artists, he can also enjoy the utmost solitude where he may commune uninterruptedly with nature. Such are the environs of the thriving, prosperous and well-regulated metropolis of Salt Lake. The city may proudly lay claim to attractions and advantages possessed by few others, and the tourist, the invalid, the home-seeker, the artist will ever regard it as an ideal locality.
