Town.
Correspondence of THE HERALD.
To take much space to describe this
beautiful town is almost needless, as it is
known from end to end in the west as be-
ing one of the prettiest spots in the entire
state. Here is found such luxuriant vege-
tation and beautiful foliage, with all kinds
of fruit peculiar to the locality, welcome
change in the arid waste travelled over be-
fore it is encountered.
The town is guarded by towering hills,
whose craggs and peaks form pleasing
contrast to the pastures and meadows near
the river 1t is at this point that we find
the "Toll Gate'' which the Union Pacific
illustrates so profusely, and the noted
Castle Rock" which looms up before you
like an immense castle. On the top of this
is flag POLE from which on state occa-
sions the American flag is unfurled.
Green River. situated 1S6 miles east of
Ogden on the Union Pacific, is one OF the
liyeliest towns on the road; it is very
pleasant as summer resort. 1t has for it's

being one of the best on the road.
