why the Tourist, Ira Weller and Student
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
kl0 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 in variety anu grandeur
OF scenery and wealth of novel interest.
Second You should go because, when YOU
have made this wonderful trip, you. will find
Utah at the end of it-Utah, one of the worlds
Lannon's isan U.S. spots and q land OF gold, silver, copper,
valleys; OF Vineyards. fruits and flowers,
Salt Lake City, the capital, is of great interest
On account OF its historical and religious asso-
cations: Here are Hot Thermal Springs,
Warm Springs. Sulphur Springs, Sanitarium'
Parks, Drives, Canyons and the most health,
ful climate on earth. Great Salt Lake with the
new and beautiful Saltair Beach Resort of
Moorish design, has no equal in America.
