| os ANGELES AND SALT LAKE.

or of the Los Angeles excursionists Is
about the most forcible demonstra-
ton possible Of the enterprise and
alertness that have made the south
ern city one of the wonders of mod
ern municipal progress. Believing
that their visit to Salt Lake offered
an opportunity to exploit the at
fractions OF their city, both as a
field of investment and place for
the mOuntaineers to visit for recrea-
ton and enjoyment, the Angeienos
have taken practically half of the
edition to set forth the advantages
they have to offer.
While Salt Lakers have been aware
of the charms of the southern coun-
try, the travel involved heretofore
has prevented them from realizing
fully the INDISPENSABLE beauty of the
Pacific riviera within touch of Los
Angeles. Now that the journey Is
so short and comfortable, it Is safe
to say that a very large majority of
the pleasure seekers of this whole
region VIII spend their vacations
within an hour or two's ride of the
southern capital.
More than that, the people of
wealth who naturally seek a miIder
climate in the winter, viii have their
winter homes in Los Angeles itself
Or IN some Of the delightful commu-
mites that lie IN the valleys or among
the foothills of the Sierra Nadrcs
nearby. Some have already acquired
beautiful homes there. and others will
inevitably follow. On the other hand.
We Salt Lakers are quite sure that

ME Salt Lakes charms and find it
one of the most beautiful of all in
land cities, particularly during that
part of the year between June and
December. just as the mountain folk
long for sea-IcveI at times, so the
seacoast dwcller viii come to enjoy
the dry, bracing atmosphere of the
inland plateau, with its great salt
sea and incompatible summer
charms. They viii find. too, I'M

area on the continent, and an oppor-

ties and Investments such as few of /
them have dreamed of until the new
railroad mfolded a view of this new
empire almost at their door.
When the visitors from Los An |

ind such a reception as could only /
be given to the guest whose coming /

Lake has had occasion to exchange
inequalities with the sister city ever .
since the days when the pioneers
drove their teams across the desert
To the little Pacific port and returned /
trcIghtcd with the necessities of life,
since the time when the wavfarers
seeking the golden shore came
through ON their long journey and
made this their halfway oasis.
SO the new era of friendship Is
only a renewal of the intimacy that
was interrupted when the first trans
continental line diverted travel 10
the northern port, and it IS good to
welcome anew the men who used to
know and be known to Salt Lakers.
together with the newer generation
which has built the great city of the
south.
The Commercial club and the men
who journeyed with it to Los An

the princely entertainment given
them when they made their trip, so /
1t IS only natural that they should

appreciation of the courtesies they
received; and besides these more for

strangers may be assured that every

Is becoming more marked as the iden-

fields, where Salt Lakers also are
the towns and camps

both cities working side by side. and
the Utah smelters afford the chief
market for the ores produced by cap
