For a Postoffice-object That the

Tuesday, Aug. 16, 1898, viii be not
able date in the history of Utah's
beautiful summer resort. for on this
day an association was formed to give
permanenee to the place and secure
important Improvements.
SILVER LAKE ASSOCIATION.
A number of cottagers, property
owners and others interested met on
Tuesday afternoon at the hotel and
formed themselves into an organiza-
ton to be known as the Silver Lake
association. 1t was determined that
hereafter the resort shall be known as
Silver Lake. The government and con-
troll will be vested in a board of five
trustees. to be elected annually. For
the coming year the following persons
were elected: o. w. Powers, presi-
dent; H G. Whitney, secretary and
treasurer; j. L. Rawlins, j. H. Moyle.
Mrs. W. B. Short. Robert A. Brighton
was elected marshal.
A PosToFFICE.
A petition will be presented to the
government, asking that a postofiice
be located here during the three
months from June Is to Sept. Is, the
route to be established from Park City.
1t will be shown that a large amount
of mail is received at Silver Lake,
Mountain Park and other places in
close proximity in Cottonwood canyon.
The name Of Brighton's Lake was the
universal choice. but it was thought
impossible to secure a postoffice under
that name, as there is a town in the
state named Brighton. and confusion
in the mail would follow.
OTHER OBJECTS.
Other objects that the association
will have in view are TO prevent the
befouling of the water, preserve the
trees and flowers and restrain hunting
within the limits of the law. To aid in
accomplishing these things, an effort
will be made to have Marshal Brighton
appointed deputy sheriff. The good
roads" problem will also come in for
a full share of attention.
It is with pleasure that mention is
made of the prospect that this beau
tiful mountain retreat which is now
almost in a state of nature, will be
improved by art in manner not de-
tracing from its natural charm. The
proprietors of the hotel contemplate
enlarging Silver Lake by the construc-
ton of dam, bringing it nearer the
hotel. Other plans of identifying the
grounds and furnishing greater attrae-
lions are under consideration. 1t is

advantages of summer school have
also been suggested.
