Mr.. LAWRENCE LOYAL TO BRIGH-

Mr. H. W. Lawrence is loyal to Brigh-
ton as a resort. 1t has been the sum

believes its climatic advantages unex-
celled. Its altitude, 1900 feet higher
than thatsof this city, insures deli

ly picturesque and there is some fish

CAPTAIN YOUNG LIKES FISH
HAVEN.
Captain Willard Young waxed enthu-
sastic over the advantages OF Fish
Haven, Idaho, as a place in which to
throw off the burdens of life and get
near to natures heart" 1t is not easy
OF. access and can only be reached after
a long stage ride from Montpelier, Ida.
1t is q picturesque village on Bear
lake. empowered with trees, and fur-
nishing all the creature comforts OF
which a prosperous village in the centre
e =, 1,-o1 raepinn boast.
The boating is fine. and the hsnlng-
well the captain wakes so eloquent on
that theme that the listener is per-
suaded that Isaac Walton's shade is
fixture in that section, drawn there by
the Incompatible facilities Tor MS
favorite pursuit. There is an abundance
of fine fruit which adds to the attrac-
tions OF the place.
A BELIEVER IN THE TENT.
A gentleman who is an enthusiast on
camping said that for the past thirty
five years he had scarcely missed
summer among the mountains, ana ne
had. chosen to live under canvas as De
ing the most healthful mode. Elderly
people. especially if delicate, should Sc
cure the comforts and ease OF motel lie,
but for the young and those Oh ROBUST
middle age, no manner OF summer re-
creation is equal to camping in one Oh
section abounds. A party should have
a proper outfit, good team ana
strong wagon or carriage, suitable
means of shelter, warm and heaVy
clothing, and food adequate as to quail
ity and quantity. There are some I'M
portant- considerations too often over
looked by campers. One is that there
must be proper shelter. A heavy can
vas tent or strong wagon cover is ab-
;,,6i h1o There must
also be plenty of pure air in the tenn
porary home. People are inclined TO
think that because the cold penetrates
the tent, fresh air does likewise rms
is a great mistake. The tent should be
open at both ends to insure perfect ven
tilation. When persons return from an
outing among the mountains, feenng
the worse for wear" it is almost GER
tainly because they have neglected the
precaution of securing the best posi-
BILE ventilation Another necessary pre-
caution is the wearing of heavy cloth
ing and thick shoes. Ladies who wear :
thin-soled shoes should have stock
of overshoes in the outfit. If the
camper spends all his time lying under
a tree engrossed in some absorbing
reading matter, he will return to town
disillusioned but if he takes plenty of
exercise every day, making pleasant
little side trips in search of picturesque
hooks and views, he will return to town
with an alarming appetite and bound
less enthusiasm about life in tent.
One advantage of camping over hotel
life. as the speaker viewed 1t, is the
superior excellence of the food. You
can carry a well filled larder with you,
and enjoy luxuries as we'll as substan-
tails. ~
SODA SPRINGS.
Joseph E. Caine is a Soda Springs
enthusiast, and of the famous resort
he says: To attempt to- describe the
fascinations of Soda Springs, as a sum-
mer resort, to one who has never come
under their magic charm, is an almost
hopeless task. To some people it APP
pears as little less than a barren sage
brush plain with few uninteresting
hills as a background; and, when seen
under a monday sun this is a natural
impression. But to one who has come
under the spell there are attractions
untold.
It is under the rays of a rising sun
or in a summer evenings twilight that
we find the charm. The absence of
verdure is compensated by the many
neutral tints of the different forma-
tons, and the dark green Of the cedars
blending with the sagebrush and rustic
shanties, is restful to the eye and
soothing to the senses.
The first white people to enjoy the
sparkling waters of these wonderful
mineral springs, were the early-day
Oregon emigrants, who on their long |
tramp to the northwest Pacific, fol- |
lowed old Lander's trail. Later came
the Morrisites, who after their trouble |
in Utah, were planted (alive) by Gen |
eral Conner upon little alkali desert
on the north bank of the Bear. Many
of the original log nuts still stand, and
a few of the old colony still live to
tell the story of what is now known
as Lower Town. Nothing. could be
more picturesque than this little clus-
ter of houses, where everything is in
dicative of old age, the people, for the
most part, are in the decline of life,
and the log cabins with their
wlnitewashed sides and dirt roofs,
suggest modern antiquity; while the
ground itself, if it were ever produc-
tive, is now as dead as the hopes
of the people who sit there awaiting
the end.
Probably the first salt I.aker to take
an interest in Soda Springs was Pres
ident Brigham Young whose log cabin
still stands at the side of u fresh water
spring on the old emlgrant read. Next
came Captain Hooper, who as early as

creek. A few years later Captain
Hoo per built a log rabin near the big
spring which now bears his name and
from tiaat time up TO his death he
never missed summer in Soda
Springs. A few years LATER the cap
tain built two rustic cottages, which
still stand near the Hotel Idanha and
