Quaint. Queer and Curious Salt
~ Lake Elf

The late Col. John Cockerel in
The Cosmopolitan said. "There are
three unique cities in America,
and one ofthese is Salt Lake City"
1t is not only unique in its temple,
tabernacle ahd other Mormon
church institutions, but quaint in
appearance, with its wide streets.
immense blocks and martial rows
OF shade trees. 1t has, perhaps,
more attractions to the square yard
than any city in the country, and
its climate. while temperate all
the year round, is particularly de-
lightfuI Iii summer. The Great
Salt Lake. with it's magnificent
Saltair resort, where the water is
"deader snd denser' tIian that in
the Dead Sea in Palestine, is an
att action in itself that people
come miles to see. There are
many cool mountain and lake re-
sorts near by, nlsa numerous very
pretty canon and park drives, and
hot sulphur springs. Fishing and
huntingscan be had in every di-
rection. The trip from Denver to
Salt Lake City and Ogden. via the
Denver and Rio Grande and the
Rio Grande Western. is one oi nm.
surpassed pleasure. Here nature
is found in her sternest mood and
the whole line is Il succession OF
rugged canons, waterfalls and pic
iuresque valleys. No European
trip can compare with it in grand
eur of scenery. During the entire
summer there will be low eXcur
sion rates to Salt Lake City and
contiguous country. 1t is on the
road to the Pacific coast, il that is
your destination. Write S. h.

Death of an Old Settler.

Simeon j. konkel. OF Stohing.
ton. died in Kansas City, Mo-, Dec.
IA, 1908, at the age of about 5S
years. Mr.. konkel had been OPP
Grated ON for necrosis of the femur.
The operation was successful, but
when the bone began to heal it
closed The medullary canal, and
as result the marrow could not
drain itselt, aud from this hidden
source OF infection, he died.
Mr.. konkel was one of the earl
v settlers of the county. having
lived here since the spring of 1886.
He leaves to mourn his departure
u vile and nine children, some of
whom are prominent teachers in
the county.
The funeral serm on was
preached by Rev. +. NJ Shea at
the Stonington school house Sun
day. Dec. 90. A large congrega-
tion being present, the house could
not contain all. Mr.. konkel was
a member OF the Church OF God,
AN organization that has no socic
tv in this county. He was strong
character. and man who was al
ways ready to defend his princi-
pals in religion, morals and poll
tics.
The family and relatives have
the hearty sympathy of the COM
munity and all who know them,

GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing IN 1t and No Danger
of Being Drowned.

no Living Thing IN 1t and No Danger
of Being Drowned.
The water of the Great Salt Lake
Utah. is clear and transparent,
with IL bottom of fine white sand
and II margin OF incrusted salt. 1t
is one of the puresL and most con
centrated briues in the world. Its
waters give sustenance to no liv
ing thing; there is not the smallest
insect or worm TO frigh:en the
most ,imid batier, and the bath
ing is the most perfect sen bathing
in the whole OF North America or
in Europe. No human body can
sink in it. Your body will per
sistently rise up, the shoulders
above the surface, or you may
even sit down in it. Its wonder
full buoyancy NUT be experienced
to be realized. No knowledge Of
swimming is necessary; one may
enter the lake without the slight
est tear; all you l,aye to do is to
lie down and float. But to swim
in it, that is another thing. When
your hands are put under the wa
ter to take stroke, your feet, like
Banquo's ghost, will not go down.
1t is impossible to keep more than
one end OF your body under water
at time. Nearly half million
people bathe in the Great Salt
Lake every year; they come from
all over the world, and tourists
are beginning to realize that Salt
Lake City with its magnificent
surroundings presents the greatest
scope OF novelty, and is destined
to be a leading watering place,
Salt Lake City and Great Salt
Lake are best reached via the Den
yer & Rio Grande and the Rio
Grande Western. Via this route
the traveller has a choice of two
lines through the Rocky noun
tains-vi, the Royal Gorge. Lead
Vile, Canon of the Grand River
and Glenwood Springs, or via
Marshall Pass and the Black Can
on OF the Gunnison; and ii a round
trip ticket is secured reading both
ways via 1.-The Scenic Line of the
