Will be crowned with fiattering success
this year, and MAKE the resort a factor
IN the excursion business this season.
The Salt Palace.
Utah's glittering Salt Palace. which
is situated within easy walking dis
lance of the business center of town,
ranks among the foremost show places
of Salt Lake City As its cOgnOmen
would indicate, the big place Of amuse-
ment is constructed as regards visible
detail of just everyday salt that
abounds in the region of the lake. The
structure is an imposing edifce, sur
mounted by a Shapely dome and flank
ed at the south end by a couple of tow
ers that add to the grace of the build
ing. Nesting among stately avenues
OK poplar trees in the enclosure that
covers an area of ten acres, the Salt
Palace is essentially a cool resort for
the tourist or resident of this city to
visit.
During the short time that this new
amusement resort has been opened to
the public il has sprung into prOmi-
nence as numbering among its attTac-
tons the fastest eight-lap track. to the
delight of the vast thrOngs that at
night witnessed the races under the
rays of the arc lights. This fascinating
sport as the season heightened out be-
came the leading attraction in Salt
Lake until on several special occasions
as many as 500 people were turned
away from the gates. The bicycle track
was erected at the cost Of $500 and
proved a winner from the initial meet,

the patio. His hacienda, like most Of
its kind was a large square building
with courtyard in its center. In this
case the patio had been transformed
into 3 shady little garden with orange
trees. bananas and other tropical pro-
auctions. Grape vines climbed round
the light pillars that supported the We
randa that surrounded it and covered
its roof with a mass of foliage dotted
with great purple punches Of grapes.
Two or three little fountains were half
hidden among the trees, and the air
was heavy with the scent Of the orange
and citron flowers.

Harland had shot I was not sure of it.

him are likely to open their lips on the
matter, and no one else will have a
