THE PROMISED LAND.
Why the Tourist, Traveller and SUDDEN,
Should Visit Utah.

There are two reasons, either one of which
ought to be conclusive with every American
citizen.
First The trip from Denver to Utah via
Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt Lake Route
is the grandest to be found anywhere on the
continent. No European trip OF equal length
can compare with it i'll variety and grandeur
OF scenery and wealth of novel interest.
Second You should go because, when You
have made this wonderful trip, you will lind
Utah at the end of it-Utah, one of the world's
amous spots and a land of gold, silver, copper,
iron and coal; of lofty mountains and fertile
valleys; OF vineyards. fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City, the capital, is of great interest
on account of its historical and religious asso-
Citations. Here are Hot Thermal Springs,
Warm Springs, Sulphur Springs, sanitarium,
Parks, Drives, Canyons and the most health
full climate on earth. Great Salt Lake with the
new and beautiful Saltair Beach Resort of
Moorish design, has no equal in America.

The bicycle has already largely in
vaded the domain of the horse as a mo.
tive power in the pursuit of pleasure
and travel. Now comes the horseless
wagon to further expel him from a
great deal of his drudgery. Here is
what the Times-D Democrat says Of it's
introduction in New York City:
IAN innovation in street traffic in the
form of a h~orseless wagon was seen in
New York Thursday by a large crowd
in Washington Square. The wagon,
which FL appearance does not differ
materially from the ordinary one, has
been brought to this country from
Paris, where similar ones are now in
use on the b~0ulevards, both for pleasure
and business purposes. A public test
was made Of its capabilities Thursday,
and its performance vas apparently a
success, SO far as speed, easy riding and
management go. The h~orseless wagon
is the invention of Emile Roger of
Paris. 1t is an automatic petroleum
vehicle, and rectified petroleum of a
density of ZOO is used as a motive pow
er. It is very simple in arrangement
and easily controlled. The motor,
which is Of horizontal movement is in
and can be used for any other
purpose. It is fitted with a bicycle
like arrangement of spracket wheels
and chains on either side. A crank in
front guides the vehicle with accuracy
and three brakes keep it under con-
tr0l.n
