which are millions OF sheep, cattle and

mines, whose miners rely almost wholly

There are not more than half men
enough here to do the work and for
that reason $50 Japs have been employ
ed IN the valley all summer.
Cost of living averages about the

THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.
We have an unusually healthful ci-
mate. Unlike the country bordering on
the seas, ana through the valleys OF
| the inland sections. where the humid
lily Is great the atmosphere is rare and
clear A breath of the morning is like
wine II stimulates and eXhilarates, Tho
death rate is very small, about 10 the
thousand population. People live TO
ripe old age and die, not from disease,
but like the tree on the eastern hill
side, because 1t Is old. The weather is
| perfection over 800 days in the year.
Zero is especially cold weather. But the
cold Is not felt as It is where the at

they do in many of the older states
The climate is especially favorable to
| those with weak lungs. Unless too far

after brief stay here. The rarified

| strength, and lives to bless the day he
came, All over Utah may be found
| rugged people who were not expecting
to live when they arrived. but who have
| since regained their health. II is true
| that some die. but In every instance the
| reason was that they delayed too long
| In an unfavorabe country, and the at
| mospherlc conditions here could not
| perform miracles. But the man whose
| lungs are affected only to an extent
| that his strength has not been totally
impaired, can come here and get we'll

All over the valley nature has estab-
lished natural sanitariums In the shape
OF hot mineral springs.
The waters OF these springs are very
efficient in many diseases. and in rheu-
matism they are almost a certain cure
for every case"
