MONHE|M PARK TO
HAVE BERRY FETE
New Addition to the City Will
Offer a Unique AttraC-
ton June 5.
FRUIT is GROWN THERE
VISITORS INVITED TO ENJOY
ICE CREAM AND CAKE ALSO.

Salt Lake City residents are to be
treated to a strawberry festival June
on the property known SIS Monheim
Park addition. on the east bench. just
south of Twelfth South. adjoining
Twenty-third East The strawberries
are grown on the premises. something
rarely the case In any new addition,
and absolutely unique In the annals of
Salt Lake City realty history. Ar
rangements are being made to have
automobiles meet the Sugar House
cars at the end OF the line near the
penitentiary, and carry visitors to the
addition on the extrtme east bench,
under the shadow Of the mountains.
An entire acre has been devoted to
the cultivation of the fruit, and 1t is
declared there Will be strawberries
enough to supply any number of per-
sons who go to the place.
Not only Is Monheim Park addition
farthest from the smoke and noise of
the city. but 1t combines the advan-
tages Of city and country In q degree
not attained In any other addition
here. Although the last of the new
additions in point Of development, 1t
can be reached easily from the extern
sion of the LIE Grande Young railroad
to Hollywood This extension is to be
made in the near future, according
to the owners of the road, and Will be
the second Of the interurban roads to
be established here. the new Bamber-
ger road being the first
VIII Become Unique
The addition thus will become
unique in such locations near Salt
Lake, since It VIII be the first strictly
suburban addition. All other addi-
tons placed on the market here have
been only q little removed from the
settled district and have been reached
by extensions of the regular street car
LIE Grande Young railroad, Monheim
Park will be provided with regular
railroad service, and residents there
will not be compelled to take long
rides IN ordinary street cars
There Is no intention on the part Of
the owners Of the property to place it
in competition with additions which
have been opened in the more thickly
settled districts It is suburban prop
erty. and the owners Of homes there
will find advantages which cannot be
found anywhere else in the city. Wa
ter for the tract viii be provided
from either the Parley's canyon or
the Big Cottonwood canyon water
systems, both Of which pass directly
through tia property. Streets are
being laid out and building lots plat
ted. These lots are being sold at
prices which it is thought make the
property one Of the best of the new
additions for investment purposes.
Large Orchards, Too.
AT present a large orchard and an
acre of strawberries are maintained
on the tract. 1t is a noticeable feature
of the place that there is never late
froSts there, the mountains to the east
protecting the place from the breezes ]
Of the canyons and preventing any
sudden change in temperature such
as affect other east bench tracts Last
spring, when crops In the lower levels
Of the valley were injured by frosts,
and when II was cold in other east
bench additions, there was no dis
experienced in Monheim adj
dition.
These are only a few Of the advan- |
tages Of the place. The advantage of |
view of the valley Is an |
asset found in no other locality, and |
one which will appeal to many. Free |
from the mists and smoke which az |
feet the lower levels, the place prom |
Ises to become one Of the most at |
tractive sections for summer homes, |
and equal In beauty and other advan- !
ages to the additions farther In.
The strawberry festival will be held |
al day long, and no one will be per !
nitted to go away from the place IN
It will not be necessary for |
parties which visit the place to pro-
yide lul.cneon. as cake and ice cream |
