The large number of pleasure seekers !
On Sunday were amply repaid by going |
to Lake Park resort, and fnCing the |
bathing in such fine condition that |
many were loathe to come out and |
hen the boating, seldom have we ever
seen tbs surface of the lake so favorable
.Or this amusement, resembling the
ACE of a mirror, in which was pictured
our majestic mountains on the east, and
Church Island on the west, looking
more like gigantic painting, than the
surface of the water. These pleasures
we're kept up long after the sun went
lown. and the beautiful electric lights
shOne out in the surrounding darkness
Ike bright stars.
THE UTAH CENTRAL EXTENSION.

st. George, thus cutting off good many |
Dad grades which otherwise will have |

essen the cost of the road at least 81 800 |

some other company unless the Utah |

HoYT SHERMAN, superintendent of
Garfield Beach, instructed Captain
Douris, chief of the bathirg depart
ment, to Investigate the cause of the |
complaint made by a visitor to the
resort on Saturday evening-that
ladyGsMilp desired to take her 3-year-
old II in the bath house with her |
was Gid that she could not do so with
out paying the usual price-25c. In
reply Captain Douris writes as follows: |
81 have investigated the case re-
ierred to in THE SUNDAY HERALD, in |
which party claims to have paid 25c.
admission to the bath houses for 3
year old child. My gate keepers both
positively say that nothing of the kind |
occurred. The gate keeper on the
west side says that one gentle
man, two ladies and little |
girl, all having bath suits and |
keys, wanted admission on these tickets, |
which was of course, refused. " To which |
Mr. Sherman adds: IF your correspon-
lent was one of the party of four having |
four bathing suits and keys, seeking al
mission through the gates on three |
tickets, he or she was manifestly wrong. |
IF, on the other hand, they wanted to |
lake the child through the gate simply |
% look after it, they should, and pro-
oably did, know that a word to Captain |
Douris would have settled the matter |
instantly without the necessity of rush
ng into public print, From what | Can
earn of the case, your correspondent |
should remember that courtesy is alike |
,ommendable in the patron as we'll as
he employee"
