beauty.
Pine trees which rear their tops
heavenward to an immense height fur

scene. Beneath these trees the visitor
who has been fortunate enough to
bring along his camp kit may erect

An effort Is now being made TO place
Bryce canyon under the supervision OF
the Bureau of National Parks for prop
or protection and exploitation. When
this has been accomplished, no doubt
there are thousands Of Americans who
will learn OF the existence OF this sec
ton of Utah. who have long imagined,
II they gave It n thought, that this
particular portion of the country was
simply strip of desert. covered by
cactus or sagebrush. and inhabited by
the tarantula and rattlesnake. What a
pleasant awakening they Will have.
Indications are that next season
there Will be a constant stream OF Wis
TORS to Bryce canyon, for those who
have made the pilgrimage In the past
few months viii undoubtedly arouse
the curiosity OF their friends by the
all too inadequate description they win
give of their jaunt TO the canyon which
is not canyon.
And this curiosity viii lead many |
to journey to the beautiful southland |
Of Utah to see for themselves Just |
what their friends were trying TO de- |
scribe. And they will not be disap.
pointed. They viii probably say: "No
wonder he couldn't make me under
stand. Wonderful, Pshaw, there are
not words enough OF lnudatory ma
ture In the dictionary to convey a real
description"
In fact, they will wonder why they
had not before been advised OF the ex-
Istence of this wonder spot, which II
Il had been advertised In the past,
would have been long listed as the
eighth wonder Of the world.
Days might be spent In this section
with profit, and they would be happy
