From Douglas Park, on

tomorrow morning, any morning, and
Jump into your automobile and take
a run to Douglas Park on tho great
southeast bench which ovcrlooks Salt
Lake City and the Salt Lake valleyl
Tho view presented from this subdi-
vision to Salt Lake City cannot be
equalled anywhere In the world There
Is q panorama Of nature unfoldcd such
as would be worth a trip across the
continent TO sec. Tt cannot be de-
scribed 1t might be painted upon can
vas, but no word painting can tell of
the beauties spread before you when
standing at any point in Douglas Park.
From any viewpoint. and every spot
Of ground in Dovglas Park Is vie~-
point, the picture is magnificent. On
the east are the snow capped peaks
OF the majestic Wasatch range, and no
difference how much YOU stady this
part OF this great panorama of nature,
there are always new beauties pre-
sented. This morning you discover
beauty spot you had not seen before,
Tomorrow morning you gee another and

piGture, such one rs can be seen no.
where else.
Then your eve wanders ovos the
valley If the mountain. picture Is mag.
nificent, and it is, whut can be said
of the valleys Everywhere there IS a
velvety carpet of green beautiful be.
yond compare There is the dark green
Of tho trees which have Just budded
Into life, thele are blossoms in varie
gnted culprs which cover peach and
apple, pear and apricot cherry and al
mund trees, and this is such a picture
as can be seen nowhere else, for no.
where else can you stand upon an ele-
vation such as the site Of Douglas Park
is and command such sweep of noun
tain and valley
Looking to the west over the valley
you sec q streak Of silver in the Jor-
dan river: then further to the west you
see the great dead sea of America, the
waters of which IN the morning sun
CLEAN and glisten and SPARKLE, and you
lack words to express your admiration
for the superb view You see the tow
ers and minarets of the great pavilion
at Saltair Beach, and they. too, ghsten
like shafts of silver as they are gilded
by the rays of the morning sun. 1t is
ideal. It is perfection
Then to the west again towers the
snowy peaks Of the Oquirrh range, In
the foothills Of which lies the greatest
copper camp in the world, and along
which runs one, two, three railway
lines. ono Of which is the most costly
piece Of railway construction in Ameri.
ca, and from the smoke Of locomotives
you trace the movement of the trains,
ore laden they are, as they move to-
ward the great smelter and mills at
Garfield. And from your viewpoint in
Douglas Park you discover in the
Oqnirrh range Of mountains pictures
that you have never seen before, just
as You did IN looking at the Wasatch
range, and you invoIuntarily turn your
eye to the east, and there Is presented
another magnificent picture which had
escaped your observation, And again
you cannot find words to express your
admiration. The view is the persona
fication of the beauty of nature. 1t
is magnificent beyond description or
compare.
Then you do not wonder why the
school board OF Salt Lake City selected
the southeast bench as tho site for the
high school buildings why All Hallows
college decided to erect their splendid
buildings on this eminancej why West
minister college constructed their col
lege upon this bench; why the state of
Utah builded the state university upon
the east bench: The reason for all this
is SO apparent that one, though blind,
could see. 1t is the ideal spot to locate
the Athens of this great state; Chill
dren, as veil as those of mature years,
learn more rapidly, they have higher
aspirations when surrounded by all that
is beautiful; they make better men and
women when they can commune with
nature; when they can see the mag.
nificent pictures which only nature can
present.
Then yon do not wonder why the
great rush to this beautiful subdivision
10 Salt Lake, Douglas Park, by Utahns
to secure home sites; why they have
invested in the short while Douglas
Park has been on the market one hun
dred thousand dollars in lots.
You will have spent an hour OF more
