A SOUVENIR

DESCRIPTIVE ^_ 
 
 Q ALT LAKE CITY has been called "the Metropolis of the Rocky Mountain Region." It is situated on a eloping plateau 
 <& in the northeast corner of Utah, on the foothills of the Wasatcu Mountains which tower 10,000 feet above it, 20 miles 
 south of the Great Salt Lake. The city covers about six square miles and is laid out in blocks of five and ten acres, intersected 
 by streets 80 to 132 feet wide. The business portion is surrounded with residential streets of shaded lawns and houses, ami 
 throughout the city, which is thoroughly irrigated, are abundant shade and fruit trees. This, together with the climate, which 
 is salubrious and bracing, makes the city exceptionally attractive for residence. 
 
 The Great Salt Lake was discovered in 1833. In 1847 the Mormons, led by BKIGHAM YOCNG, arrived in the valley, 
 l>egan at once to cultivate and irrigate, and inaugurated the wonderful work of reclaiming to man and civilization what had 
 been an uninhabitable desert, fighting the Indians for their lives and crickets and grasshoppers for their crops. The city was 
 incorporated in 1851, with 5,000 inhabitants. The population is now 35,000. In 1852 the Tabernacle was built, seating S.COO. 
 The large Tabernacle, seating 10,000, was finished in 1867. The Temple, begun in 1853, to cost *10,000,000, is now Hearing 
 completion. Other noteworthy Mormon buildings are the Assembly Hall, Council House, Tithing House, Lion House, Beehive 
 House, and the Gardo House, President TAYLOR'S residence. The city is well served by a street railway system, and hns an 
 efficient Fire Department as well as water brought from without. Its connection with 'the world is through the Utah Central, 
 Denver & Rio Grande; and Utah & Nevada Railroads which open to it the great transcontinental systems. The principal daily 
 newspapers are the Deeret Nem (founded 1850), llernld, Trittwie and Democrat. There is an excellent theatre, seating 1,700, 
 and the Walker Opera House, built in 1881 at a cost of $130,000. The business of the city is large, its merchants handling 
 the great cereal and mineral products of the Territory, and its manufactures for home consumption and export are varied and 
 extensive. Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, handsomely housed, has a Mock in trade of over a million; there arc 
 several national bxnks, hospitals, churches, Catholic and of the principal Protestant denominations, and numerous educational 
 institutions, among which are the Deseret University, St. Mary's College, Hammond Hall and All Hallow's Colleere. Liberty 
 Park, attractively laid out, is a popular resort; Port Douglas, a United States post, is near and accessible to visitors. Over 
 100,000 people annually seek pleasure at the Great Salt Lake, easily and cheaply reached by rail. 
 
 The Great Salt Lake is 80 miles long, 50 miles wide, and from 20 to 60 feet deep. It is fed by four rivers and many- 
 mountain streams which bring down the salt with which the soil is charged. It has no outlet and the salt remains. Salt is 
 obtained by evaporation and over 100,000 tons have been taken out in one summer. The water contains 14 per cent, of solid 
 matter of which 85 per cent, is salt. In some places it is so buoyant that the bather can hardly sink, and to swallow it is 
 often fatal. The Bathing Pavilions at Garfield Beach and Lake Park Resort rival any sea-coast structures of the kind, and 
 the citizens swarm there of a summer's afternoon in numbers to remind one of Coney Island or Atlantic City. 
 
 The progress of Salt Lake City and Utah has lieen remarkable and their future is a great one. A recently organized 
 Chamber of Commerce offers information and encouragement to all who wish to invest capital. New and first class hotels 
 invite the overland tourist to a few days' sojourn that will prove the most interesting on his trip.
