SWISS WILD FLOWERS.

(By Elizabeth Minot in the April Trave
Maeazine)
High above the TerInatt road,
Where the mountain torrents foam,
Where the gray green glaciers lie.
Where the chamois seeks a home
Over every jutting crags
Close 20 every patch OF snow.
Crimson. purple, pink and white.
Alpine flowers boldly grow.
Fair wild rose, and deep blue sage.
Pink with roseate hue Of dawn,
Gentian and forEet-me- -nots.
Underneath the Matterhorn,
Noddlng lightly in the spray.
Harebells deck the swift cascades:
Mountain sandwort on the heights
Turns to pink when daylight fades
Crimson. purple. blue and gold.
Flaunt the blossoms in their pride
Mystic fairy lands OF old
With such splendor never We'd.
Bluebells close to the saXifrage,
Edeweiss in wooden born.
Heavenly blue forget-me- -nots.
Underneath the Matterhorn.

and after finishing the survey for the
proposed system returned to Salt Lake

his specifications and these will prob
ably be sent TO the offices of the water
works company within the next few

Mr.. Caldwells investigation resulted
not only in proving the feasibility Of the
undertaking, but showed that the cost
Will not be as great as had been antici-
pated. After measuring the llow of water
at the spring west OF the power house
the engineer declared that the spring will
furnish an abundant supply of water for
the city and this will do away with the
necessity of installing a costly pressure
pipe line from the big springs.
