Two of Canon's Teachers to Be Given An
Elegant Summer Trip to
SALT lAKE---THE MORMON CAPITAL
<rhe Record Has Arranged to Present to the Two
rIost Popular Teachers Free Trip to Salt
Lake City Little Summer
Vacation Favor.

~ There is no more delightful place
in America to spend a short summer
vacation than at Salt Lake City the
Mormon Capital. And there are no
people who better deserve and who
will more thoroughly enjoy such a
vacation than the hard worked
teacher.
Believing both of these propositions
to be absolutely correct, THE RECORD
is arranging 20 send our two most
popular teachers to that inland sea
side summer resort for ten days
stay during the summer. We thor
oughly wish it were in our power TO
bundle up the whole force OF teachers
in Canon City and South Canon and
take them out there for a month or
two. but OF course that is out Of
the question. That is exactly what
we would do IL our mining stock were
worth par or If something else OF that
nature might happen. but at present
We will have to be content with
<enaking two teachers supremely hap
py for short time.
The trip will include tickets from
Cahon City to Salt Lake City and re
turn and free entertainment at ons
~ The principal hotels of that city
Tor week or ten dsys-if parties
haynt friends they prefer to visit
II il u desired stop overs will be al
lowed at any point between here snd
Salt Lake City.
Looking at 1t strictly as a railroad
ride, one could hardly suggest a
stretch OF road on which more beau
tiful and grand scenery is to be found
than on this trip. Scenery begins at
the Soda Springs and continues every
mile Of the way to Salt Lake. And
such scenery To those who have
not taken the trip it is well worth a
years earnings. and those who have
usually think it worth more. They
most always 90 again.
We will arrange the tickets so
that our fortunate guests may 90 by
the narrow gauge over Marshall Pass,
through the beautiful Gunnison valley,
the black Canon's, via Gunnison.
Ms,ntrose, Delta and Grand Junction,
End return by broad gauge through
Glenwood Springs, the Canon Of the
Grand. passing in view Of the Mount
Of the Holy Cross, climb up through
the rocky Eagle river canon, by the
way of Red Cliff. Tennessee Pass,
N.eadville. Buens Vista and back in
to the Arkansas valley. Going
around this Denver & Rio Grande
circle Of mountains, passes streams and
caions is its self prize well worth
the seeking.
Then there's the trip over the Rio
Grand Western from Grand Jurction
on. Its different from the mountain
ride but just as interesting. You
pass down from the mountains into
the fertile fields of the Mormon coun-
try and almost into the mountains
again.
Salt Lake City is strange land.
No city in the country seems so for
eign. so far away from everywhere.
yet SO restful and pleasing, Few
cities have 30 much Of historical in
terest. No city in the world has the
Mormon temples, tabernaces and as
sociations to be found here. Every
thing in Salt Lake from the humblest
cottage to the palaces of Brigham
Young has its charm and interest for
tho tourist. There is nothing to tire
one, except perhaps the wide streets.
Then there's the parks, the fort,
the public buildings, the lake--that
