Salt Lake City Utah, June 15-Oh that
could paint to you in words the beauties
OF this mountain valley! The sun has
kissed away the snow and nature has once
more wreathed herself in spring attire.
The foothills are covered with a wealth
OF velvety green dotted with flowers OF
gorgeous hues, and the air is heavily laden
with perfume. The peaks OF the grand
old Wasatch and oquirrh mountains, cove
cred with eternal SHOWS, stand like senti-
nes watching with jealous care the valley
below.
To stand on any of the hills surround
ing the city at this tme of the year glanc-
ing over the valley to the great Salt Lake
beyond Is sight never to be forgotten
The wonderful colorings of the noun

The magnificent sun sets over the lake and
mountain peaks must be seen to be appre-
ciated. Ought we not be thankful to Him
who so richly blessed this Western coun-
/ try with all that is grand and sublime +?

see nothing beautiful in these.mountains,
| hear no music In the madly rushing
streams that dance down the mountain
side and softly glide through the valley
with their silvery waters nourshing the
verdant pastures In their way.
What is more beautiful than ride
through any of our grand canons on a
moonlight night, when the mystic shadows
dance and the little ellis and nymphs seem
| to play hide and seek In every leaf and
flower. 1t makes us think Of Muller !
