their eyes will gaze across the waters and
far into the glory of the sinking SUM- They
will think, perhaps, of the days when life
began to them, and how soon, too, they
may follow the orb of day, to lie still and
calm as the placid waters until the open-
ing of new life. This, it is true, is in the
years TO come. But the years will come.
These waters of Great Salt Lake have
also been demonstrated to be the fastest in
the world. Therefore, a short time only
can elapse before the great rowing contests
Will take place on this lake and Salt Lake
City be the great boating centre of the
country.
Salt Lake is the best place in the country
for health seekers.
Its bathing is unrivalled
While its mineral and sulphur springs
are but little known, yet in every drop of
their waters and in every breath of their
vapors are health and continued life. The
volume OF water from these springs is al
most limitless. There are recorded already
cures OF such a nature as TO appear almost
lncredulous. No need to wait at these
spring for the accumulation of the precious
drops before it is possible to get bath in
them. Here is lavish bounty, streams
that never fail. The Warm Springs are in
the city proper and are on the line of the
street cars. The Hot Springs, which are
the most noted for the curative properties
they possess, are but short distance be-
yond, and are also in the city limits. For
rheumatic cures the results following a
course of baths at Beck's Hot Springs is
little less than marvellous. So successful
have these waters been in the curing of rheu-
matte complaints that thosemanaging them
nave seriously contemplated the wisdom
OF offering to guarantee cures for rheuma-
tiSm.
ITS WATERS ARE EQUALLY EFFICACIoUs
for skin diseases, internal complaints,
blood poisoning and for many kindred all
ments Any number of private baths can
be supplied, in addition to those that are
now ready for the reception of patients.
Each bath has separate connection with
the pipe that runs directly from the spring
as it bubbles up boiling hot from beneath
the overhanging mountain. There is also
large plunge bath for the promiscuous
bathing, in which the water is cooler than
IN the baths prepared for the treatment of
rheumatism. In all the baths the water
mas to be cooled. 1t cannot be borne at the
temperature at which it energies from the
springs.
The air of Salt Lake city is light and
pure. Pulmonary complaints never de-
velop here and are durable, if any possi5il-
lty OF cure exists. Contagious diseases
are rarely known, and they never become
epidemic. Living is cheap; accommoda
lions are ample. All conditions are condu-
Give to health and to long life.
SALT LAKE IS THE GREAT RAILROAD CENTRE
OF THE WEST.
Nature has declared that it must be- 1t
Will be. Consciously, yet irresistibly, man
is striving to precipitate realization of
this natural ordination. The Union Pacific
branches, the Utah 81 Northern and the
Oregon Short Line have been consolidated
with the Utah Central railroad, and the
three roads now belong to one company.
The bonds of this company, with it's three
branches have been placed so as to raise
money to extend the Utah Central railroad
to the Pacific coast. This work has com
menced. The Utah & Northern, which
is now narrow gauge from
Ogden to Pocatello, will be widened
forthwith, and the trains will run
direct to Salt Lake city from Butte in
side of six months. All the Union Pacific
trains will run direct to Salt Lake city
Trains starting for any part of the Union
Pacific system will be made up at Salt
Lake city. All trains coming as far west
as Salt Lake will run to Salt Lake, and
passengers for points farther west will
board the Central Pacific trains at Salt
Lake city. Salt Lake will be the terminus
of all the Union Pacific system. This eff
fects the traffic of the whole of Utah,
Idaho, Wyoming, most of Montana, parts
of Washington territory and Oregon, Colo
RADIO, and of Nevada. This railroad deter
mination will make the vast expanse of
RICH AGRICULTURAL AND MINERAL COUNTRY
named tributary to Salt Lake city.
1t would be childish to suppose that any
company would run so vast and compli-
Gated system of railroads as the Union
Pacific controls from one end, and that the

where the greatest competition will exist.
The Union Pacific will in time run its
system from the center of the system, and
in that day-and an early day it will be
the general offices of the road will be at
Salt Lake City. This will be done. The
doing will compel every other road bidding
for the trade of the vast area already
named as tributary to Salt Lake to come to
this city and help in its development, or it
will lose the trade. Salt Lake will give
comfort only to those who give comfort to
it. The Union Pacific will throw it's whole
lot into Salt Lake. And no one will con
tend that the Union Pacific lacks the
power to make Salt Lake the largest city
between Chicago and San Francisco.
This the Union Pacific will do.
The Denver and Rio Grande railroads
are NOW widening their tracks. The work
will be done by July. This will bring
into Salt Lake city, without delay, not less
than two roads, and the Chicago & Rock
Island will be one, the Burlington system.
probably, the other. The rest will follow
pell mel. They will stop at Salt Lake
city for five years before making the grand
rush for the Pacific. They will, in this
i've years, adding to the work of the Union
Pacific. make Salt Lake city the largest in
the west. This will be done.
Even were all other things wanting, the
fact that
THE COAL FIELDS, THE IRON MOUNTAINS,
the vast silver deposits, lead, copper. and
other mineral deposits surround her, would
force recognition from the railroads. She
is the manufacturing centre of the west.
She has the shelters. The raw ma
terial will be brought into Salt Lake and
will be distributed from Salt Lake over
the whole country in manufactured arti-
cles. Railroads will precede this work.
They will precipitate its realization: They
will aid in its development and share in its
benefits.
Salt Lake is without rival She can
have none. She must be great city. A
great city must be a railroad centre Salt
Lake will therefore be a great railroad
centre. L. A. WICKERsHAM
