WASATCH,


Beautiful Wasatch' Is an appropri-
ate appellatlon for this most charming
resort Seasons come and seasons go,
yet every year seems 10 bring added
charm to the wild mountain nook
nestled between hristllng cliffs, with
the rushing stream chanting rough
but musical lullaby to add to its pic
turesque repose.
In these days Of abnormal weather
records It Is something TO have re
treat Of blended beauty and comforta
BILE temperature within q few hours
ride from the heat Of the metropolis;
for contrary reports Notwithstanding,
Wasatch Is a paradise Of comfort COM
pared to the city. From noon till
O'Clock the heat Is such in the open sun
that one does not willingly brave Its
unsheltered rays; but along the stream
and In every shaded nook about the
place the breeze that blows ceaseless-
ly from the upper canyon, makes the
place delightful, and at no time in the
day Is the heat so searching that cool
spot cannot be found, nor 50 oppres
slve that one cannot be moderately
N"HiiOll dple III any lVNdlNg'
firmed pessimist could do aught but
reyel-and that demonstratiyely, too
In the divine nights that bless
the retreat. Breezes cool and
laden with the lcent OF vine and ce-
dar and the mystical sounds that
haunt the canyon make them posi-
lively blssful. Now too, there Is
moonlight, and one has only TO pic
ture the overhanging peaks, on one
side lined with trees, and on the other
slipping in almost perpendicular lines
OF white cliffs, touched with the mon
light, and with the canyon lying be-
tween In conservative shadow, with the
tumbling stream clutching here and
there the reflected light from the hill
sides to gain some idea of the charm Of
the scene.
II IL worth a elmo 10 the roof top
Of the hotel to watch the stars twinkle
above the edge OF white granite, sharply
outlined against the indigo sky. There
are two or three evenings when the
moon herself peeps into The canyon,
possibly with a curious desire I, note
the divine effects she has been n.anip-
ulGting hitherto, as IL were, behind the
scenes. For one OF these nights a
a roof party is planned, and the guests
will repair In a body to the top OF the
hotel and keep vigil, with the expect
ant canyon, for the appearance OF the
regal luminary above the hilltops.
Fish seem TO be more plentiful this
season than for many past. II was
a sight worth the best efforts Of an
enterprising kodak TO witness the gle,
Of small boy who yesterday landed
trout Of respectable size almost un.
