Glencoe, a Delightful Resort.

Glencoe, the picturesque Bear
Lake resort, is becoming popular
place for pleasure seekers. Last
Sunday fully 100 people were gath
cred there. About 40 were from
Montpelier, while the others hailed
from different points in the county
and from Cokeville, Caldwell, Lo-
gan, Ogden, Salt Lake and other
points.
Besides those who were snjoying
the day at Glencoe, at Fish Haven,
two miles distant, many others were
tinding equal enjoyment, either
lounging on the shady banks, taking
dip in the lake or sklmming DER
its placid water In row boats.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Rose, who
are in charge at Glencoe this sea-
son, are exertlng every effort TO
make it pleasant for all who come.
There is a pool table for those who
find amusement with the sscue and
and ivorles," for the lovers Of mu-
sic there is a piano, and throughout
the shady banks are cozy seats for
those who derive pleasure from
"quiet tete-a-tetes. The tents are
furnished with comfortable beds
and the hotel table is supplied with
the best that the market affords.
Those who enjoy boating, will
find a no more beautiful body Of
water in the west than Bear Lake,
and it Is hard to imagine more de
lightful past.time than a boat ride
on the lake Just at twilight. The
groves on the west bank of the lake
and mountains beyond present a
scene upon which ones eyes would
never tire of gazing. Many who
have visited other western resorts
declare that Glencoe excels them all
for boating, bathing and the beautl-
full scenery surrounding.
See other western resorts if you
must, but see Bear Lake FIRST, is the
advice we offer TO those who are
pleasure bent. You will never re-
gret the time spent on the shores of
beautiful Bear Lake.

honor on our state during the last
