OFF TO THE SUBURBS.
Suburban Trains Commence
Running to the Beach,
LINCOLN PARK AND GRAND VIEW.
The Pioneer Effort of What will be a Big
Enterprise-A Fine Trip for
Fifteen Cents.
Ho for the suburbs !

Ho for the suburbs!
One more train service started up in Salt
Lake yesterday, and one more step was
taken in the series of big strides which are
placing Salt Lake in the front rank of live
and progressive cities
The first suburban train ran out to Lin
coin park and Grand View on the southeast
bench yesterday. The run was the culmi-
nation of an agreement between the owners
of Lincoln Park and Grand View and the
Electric Street Railroad company and the
Salt Lake 81 Fort Douglas, by which the
railroad companies are bound to run
TWELVE DAILY TRAINS,
six each way, to the subdivisions named, and
all for the sum of fifteen cents for the
round trip. a heavy bonus was paid down
by the real estate men, but what it is they
do not care to say. They are confident
their property is what the public wants
and that within few months there will be
enough business men residing out there to
more than make good their outlay.
At II o'clock party Of about fifty took
the electric car on First South, ran out to
the foot of the hill on Eleventh East and
were transferred to the Salt Lake & Fort
Douglas; they made a quick run around the
hill and took in all the beauties of the view
from the Fort Douglas eminence. The
train first landed the party at Wagner's
grove, where a collation. was spread by
Wagner himself and quickly discussed by
the party. The run was then resumed
down to Lincoln Park, which is two and a
half miles from the heart of town and two
blocks from Liberty park; it comprises the
old, well-known Mcdonald farm, a tract of
fine alluyial soil
LOCATED ON A GENTLE SLOPE
er,ooking the city MIR. Wantland
through whose rustling and enterprise
the whole east bench has been brought
the various blocks lay, the num-
Der of lots sold and the number
still for sale, and the expressions heard
showed that the "sold'' mark would prob
ably be written opposite good many more
before week passed. Grand View, Mr..
Perkins subdivision, lies little farther
south, and is also on a beautiful slope of
fine ground, several residences already
being erected and occupied in or near the
subdivision. Work will begin this week
on ten houses, for which the contracts have
been let by Mr.. Perkins, and the frequent
and cheap train service is relied on to bring
many more city people to the ranks of SUB
urban residents.
quick run was made back to town, and
the whole party deposited on Main street,
where they started from.
A SHORTER ROUTE
will at once be operated by taking the
electric road to the corner Of Seventh East
and Eighth South streets, and connecting
there with the railroad. This trip will only
consume twelve minutes from the post
office to either of the two suburbs, and the
owners confidently think many people will
avail themselves of the prevailing high
prices in the city to close out their property
and move out to the east bench, where they
are IN the country but only twelve minutes
from business. The party yesterday CON
