The road could afford to carry the

party went in bathing, but the waters
of the lake have receded so much
that we had to walk "A quarter of IL

Salt Lake City is unlike any other
city ON earth. Its streets are 1872 feet
in width, and its telephone, electric
light, telegraph and trolley wires are
all carried on immense poles, erected
down the ENTER of the street. on each

villages, composed of small cottages,
built around the interior, and IA whole
community living in there, almost
completely shut in from the outside

horses, and pigs running at large;
