in the morning; and the future looks
! brighter and we know the hold on life
will be stronger than before the trip
was taken.
Viewed from the standpoint of pleas
ure, there is nothing more agreeable
and refreshing than visit to the lake;
and as to health, the salt waters Of this
great inland sea are almost a sure cure
for catarrh in all its forms, and in the
healing of skin diseases there is moth
ing better
In the summer months, during
which period bathing in the lake is only
permissible, the old and famous Gar
field Beach resort is crowded day and
night and with the opening of this
popular place of recreation this season,
every effort has been made to keep it
in line with its former record as a
place that is kept perfectly clean and
neat and respectable.
There is no prettier place in the west
than Garfield Beach, with its pavilion,
bath houses, depot and bowery, and
with its beautiful background of pic
turesque and rugged mountains, in the
foothills and canyons Of which. after
a refreshing bath, a most agreeable
walk can be taken.
The beach, also, which is sandy to the
very edge, makes bathing both safe
and attractive. and the entire sur
roundings are of the most satisfactory
nature.
Garfield Beach was reopened on July
/, and since that date the patronage it
has received is all that could be de-
sired, and the number of visitors is in
creasing daily
This resort is being managed this
year by Commodore L NJ. Barrett. who
is so well and popularity known
throughout this inter-mountain region;
and in running the place he is ably as
sisted by efficient employees, who have
10 ether wish than the pleasure and
comfort of their guests.
Division superintendent F. Wash
burn, who has general charge of the
y. z. line and its hotels in Utah, is
giving an excellent train service, and
the run from this city to the beach is
made in about thirty minutes, while
mine host Latimer, of the Garfield
Beach hotel, sets an excellent table
and tprDvides comfortable, beds for
transients and regular guests.
The beach pavilion has been newly
painted and arranged and in this en-
joyable retreat out in the lake, Oh
sens orchestra holds forth in the after
noon and evenings in renditions OF the
latest and most popular musical selec-
tons, and on week days the light
fantastic" is INDUCED in from early
afternoon until midnight.
The bowery, with its luncheon tables
free to all guests, where they can
spread and partake of the contents of
their baskets, is another commemorate
feature of this resort-in fact, the place
was built for the accommodation of
the public, and this ls why it is so
popular with the masses
This promises to be great season

excursions have been booked for this
beautiful and sequestered spot.
