the Alaska Yukon fair and he talked so
much OF the Great Salt Lake that made
up my mind to see II II I should ever
come this way. Unfortunately I struck
my uncle away from the city. but I have
found that my visit will he too short to
see everything OF interest
Denver seems to be "A great summer
resort There are people from all over
the United States visiting the state Of
Colorado this year. Salt Lake should
get many OF tho visitors when they go
to southern California for the winter"
