 The University of Utah comprises thorough collegiate courses leading to degrees in General Science, 
 Liberal Arts, and Mining and Electrical Engineering; besides which a State Normal School and a Preparatory 
 School are conducted under the direction of the University Faculty. 
 
 Excellent opportunities are offered to students who desire to pursue Electrical and Mining Engineering- 
 Courses, and also Courses in Arts and General Science. 
 
 The Laboratories are thoroughly equipped for work in Chemistry, Assaying, Electrical Measurements, 
 General Physics, Minerallogy, and Biology. 
 
 Shops are provided for work in wood and metal for students in Engineering and Science Courses. 
 
 The Normal School offers a four years course leading to a certificate of graduation ; and Advanced Courses 
 leading to a degree and a normal diploma. The certificate entitles the holder to teach in any of the common 
 schools of the State for five vears without examination. The normal diploma is equivalent to a life certificate. 
 
 The Training School and Kindergarten connected with the Normal School are equipped in accordance with 
 the most modern ideas. 
 
 Manual training and laboratory practice in elementary sciences are features of the normal training courses. 
 
 The University now occupies the magnificent site of sixty acres, granted by Congress, and the new 
 buildings overlook the city and the beautiful valley of the Great Salt Lake. 
 
 The State Legislature of this year (1901) has established the State School of Mines in connection with the 
 University. This will give a great impetus to the engineering work in the University. 
 
 This School of Mines being situated near large electrical plants, gold, silver, lead and copper mines, and 
 smelters, leaching works and mills employing the latest and best methods used in the reduction of metals from 
 their ores, offers greater advantages than most other similar institutions, 
 
 A small annual registration fee is required, but no tuition is charged.

 Christ; Second, repentance; Third, baptism by immer- 
 sion for the remission of sins; Fourth, laying on of 
 hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

 by "prophecy and by the laying on of hands," by those 
 who are in authority to preach the Gospel and adminis- 
 ter in the ordinances thereof. 
 
 6. We believe in the same organization that existed 
 in the primitive church, viz., Apostles, Prophets, Pas- 
 tors, Teachers, Evangelists, etc. 
 
 7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy,

SKETCH of 
 
 UTAH and MORMONISM. 
 
 By Orson F. Whitney. 
 
 THK PKOPHET .lOSKI'H SMITH. 
 
 T TTAH owes her existence to a religious movement simi- 
 lar in some of its phases to thac which ]><'<>]i|.<l the 
 shores of New England with representatives of the Anglo- 
 Saxon race and laid the foundation of the mightiest gov- 
 ernment of modern times. No complete history of the 
 United States could be written without some reference to 
 the Pilgrims or Puritans who fled from persecution in tin- 
 Old World to find religious freedom in the New. No 
 sketch of Utah would be complete, or even possible, 
 without some reference to the Mormons, or, to give them 
 their proper title, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- 
 day Saints; for it was that Church, persecuted in the Kast 
 and pausing midway in its westward flight from Nauvoo 
 its last foothold within the confines of civilization 
 that sent forth the Pioneers who founded Utah, and has 
 ever since furnished the bulk of the bone ;uid sinew that 
 has built up the State. Mormon ism and I' tali are insepar- 
 able themes ; as much so as any coupling of cause and effect. 
 
PRESIDENT BRIGHAM YOUNG. 
 
 The founder of the Church was Joseph Smith, a native 
 of Vermont, who, as a boy of fourteen, in the forest- 
 fringed districts of Western New York, received visita- 
 tions from on high, apprising him of the apostate condi- 
 tion of Christendom and authorizing him to establish 
 anew upon earth the true Church of Christ. His first 
 visitation was in the spring of 1820, when the Father and 
 Son appeared to him; opening the new gospel dispensa- 
 tion. Subsequently he was visisted by an angel named 
 Moroni, who revealed to him the existence of some golden 
 plates, hidden in a hill near the village of Manchester. 
 These plates, temporarily entrusted to him by the angel, 
 were covered with ancient hieroglyphics, which Joseph 
 Smith by means of the Urim and Thummim also de- 
 livered to him by the angel translated, and gave to the 
 world as a result the Book of Mormon. It is a record of 
 the ancient inhabitants of America, from the time of the 
 Tower of Babel down to the early part of the fifth cen- 
 tury of the Christian era, and is mostly a history of a 
 people called Nephites, a branch of the House of Israel, 
 who, led by Lehi and his son Nephi, of the tribe of Man- 
 asseh, and followed by some of the children of Judah, 
 came from Jerusalem about the year 600 B. C. and peo- 
 pled South and North America. To these descendants of 
 Abraham the Savior appeared, after His resurrection, and 
 
PKKSIDKNT JOHN TAYLOR. 
 
 taught the fullness of His Gosj>el, supplementing and 
 preceding the teachings of other prophets, the last of 
 whom was Moroni, afterwards the angel custodian of the 
 golden plates, who, while yet a mortal, about 420 A. D., 
 hid them in the hill from which they were taken by 
 Joseph Smith. This place of deposit was called by the 
 Nephites, Cumorah. The Book of Mormon takes its 
 name from Mormon, the father of Moroni, who recorded 
 upon the plates the history of his people, the white pro- 
 genitors of the dusky and degenerate American Indians. 
 Among other angelic visitants connected with the 
 rise of the Latter-day Church, was John the Baptist, 
 who, on May 15th, 1829, conferred upon Joseph Smith and 
 Oliver Cowdery the Aaronic Priesthood, empowering 
 them to preach faith and repentance and to baptize by 
 immersion from the remission of sins. This was followed 
 by a visitation from the Apostles Peter, James and John, 
 who conferred upon Joseph and Oliver the Melchisedek 
 Priesthood, which gave them i>ower to bestow the Holy 
 Ghost by the laying on of hands. Thus equipi>ed with 
 the Bible and Book of Mormon as their doctrinal stand- 
 ards, supplemented by immediate and continuous revela- 
 tion, this twain known as the First and Secoad Elders of 
 the Church with others ordained by them, went forth, 
 preaching amid the hottest persecution the restored 
 
PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF. 
 
 Gospel, healing the sick, casting out devils, and otherwise 
 ' 'confirming the words with signs following. ' ' Their first 
 converts were made from Western and Southern New 
 York and Northern Pennsylvania. 
 
 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints- 
 nicknamed "Mormons" for their belief in the Book of 
 Mormon was organized at Fayette, Seneca County, New 
 York, on the 6th of April, 1830. Within a year it moved 
 bodily to Kirkland, Ohio, which became during the next 
 seven years its headquarters. In 1831 it established a 
 colony in Jackson County, Missouri, the site of the future 
 City of Zion, the New Jerusalem, which the Saints, who 
 are of Israel, mostly of the seed of Ephraim, gathered 
 out from all nations, expect to rear in fulfillment of 
 prophesy, preparatory to the second coming of the Savior. 
 
 Persecution followed them both to Ohio and Missouri. 
 In the fall of 1833 they were expelled with fire and sword 
 from Jackson County, and early in 1838 the main body of 
 the Church, having lost some of its prominent members 
 by apostasy, abandoned Kirtland, with the Temple they 
 had built there, and concentrated, twelve to fifteen thou- 
 sand strong, in and around Caldwell County, Missouri, 
 where they founded Far West and other flourishing settle- 
 ments. There trouble again arose, caused by religious 
 and political differences between them and the older 
 
settlers, and in the fall and winter succeed- 
 ing, the Jackson County tragedy was re- 
 peated on a larger scale. Under an order 
 issued by Governor Lilburn W. Boggs and 
 executed ty Major-general John B. Clark 
 and others, in command of an overwhelm- 
 ing force of militia, the entire Mormon 
 community, after many of them had been 
 killed in battle and in massacre, their lead- 
 ers imprisoned, their homes devastated, 
 were driven in mid-winter from the confines 
 of the State. 
 
 K indly received by the people of Illinois, 
 the expatriated community settled on the 
 east shore of the Mississippi, in Hancock 
 County, where they founded their beautiful 
 city of Nauvoo, surrounded by other Mor- 
 mon settlements, both in Illinois and Iowa. 
 There they remained for seven years, in- 
 
 \ :i:<>ri' <>F i "IT. INDIANS. creasing rapidly by immigration from the 
 
 States, Canada and Great Britain, until they aggregated twenty thousand souls. Religious and political 
 animosity still purMied them, and finally on the 27th of June, 1844, their Prophet, Joseph Smith, and his brother 
 Hyrum. tin- Patriarch of the Church, who had surrendered for trial on a trumphed up charge of treason and 
 riot, were murdered in Carthage jail by an anti-Mormon mob, while under the pledged protection of the Governor 
 of the State. Justice was never done upon the murderers. 
 
tinder Brigham Young, the successor 
 to Joseph Smith, the Mormon people, in 
 February, 1846, began their famous exodus 
 from Illinois, leaving Nauvoo with, its 
 Temple, which had just been dedicated, to 
 be pillaged and desecrated by their enemies. 
 From their scattered camps in Iowa, and on 
 the Missouri, in the summer of that year, 
 went forth at the call of their countiy the 
 Mormon Battalion, 500 strong, to assist the 
 United States in its war against Mexico. In 
 the spring of 1847 the Mormon Pioneers 
 (one hundred and forty-three men, three 
 women and two children) lead by Brigham 
 Young in person, leaving the main body of 
 the people encamped upon the frontier, 
 started upon their historic journey to the 
 Rocky Mountains. Traversing the track- 
 less plains and snow-clad mountains lying 
 THE LION AND BEEHIVE HOUSES. between the Missouri River and the Great 
 
 American Desert, on the 24th of July they entered Salt Lake Valley, where, in the midst of desolation, surrounded 
 by savage tribes and suffering untold hardships and privations, they founded Salt Lake City, the metropolis of the 
 Inter-Mountain region; the parent of more than two hundred cities, towns and villages, that owe their existence 
 to the Mormon people and their great leader, Brigham Young. The residue of the migrating Church followed the 
 Pioneers to their new-found home in the wilderness ; thenceforth the gathering place of the Mormon people.

 on the 9th of September, 1850, Congress 
 organized the Territory of Utah, and

Though no longer Governor of Utah, 
 Brigham Young remained President of the 
 Mormon Church, and as such was the real 
 power in the land. Under his wise and 
 vigorous administration the Church was 
 built up rapidly, the whole surrounding 
 region explored and colonized, irrigation 
 established, arid lands reclaimed, cities and 
 towns laid out, Indian tribes placated, local 
 and foreign missions opened, immigration 
 encouraged, and the Territory from north 
 to south made to hum like one vast hive, 
 the home of these busy bees of industry. 
 The settlements founded by the Mormons 
 on the shores of the Great Salt Lake formed 
 nucleus for Western civilization, and 
 
 a 
 
 made possible the colonization of the vast 
 inter-mountain plateau known as the Great 
 Basin. Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Col- 
 THE GARDO HOUSE (Residence of -President John Taylor). orado, Wyoming, Nevada (once a part of 
 
 Utah) Arizona and New Mexico owe their existence as organized commonwealths to Utah and her founders. It is 
 claimed that a Mormon colony gave California her first newspaper antedating by three years the Deserst News, 
 the pioneer journal of the Rocky Mountain region and it was the picks and shovles of Mormon Battalion boys, 
 honorably discharged after faithfully serving their country, that brought to light the auriferous wealth of the far- 
 famed Golden State. For twenty years after the settlement of Salt Lake Valley, Utah was comparatively isolated, 
 
working out her destiny amid the many un- 
 propitious elements by which she was sur- 
 rounded; battling with crickets, grasshop- 
 pers and drouth, and now and theu taking 
 up arms to protect her children from pillage 
 and massacre by the marauding and men-i- 
 less savage. An occasional emigrant train 
 passing on to the coast a visitation more 
 frequent after the discovery of gold in 
 California with the regular fall arrival of 
 Mormon immigrants and trains of merchan- 
 dise from the frontier, was about all there 
 was to remind the dwellers of these 
 mountain fastnesses "a thousand miles 
 from anywhere" of the civilization they 
 had left behind. In the ox-team and hand- 
 cart days it took news three months to 
 travel to Salt Lake City from the Missouri 
 River, and almost the same length of time 
 BHHMIAM YOUNG'S GRAVK. from the sparsely settled Pacific Coast. 
 
 Tlic pony express and overland stage coach subsequently did much to abridge time and distance, but it was not 
 until isfii thai A transcontinental telegraph line brought Utah into immediate communication with the outside 
 world, and not until ISi'.'.i that the shriek of the locomotive broke the stillness of the mountain solitudes and threw 
 open the peaceful settlements of the Saints to the encroachments of modern civilization. 
 
 A new era then dawned upon Utah, an era of electricity and steam; telegraph lines were constructed all over 
 
the Terrtory, railroads built in various directions, and the channels of trade widened, extended and multiplied. 
 In all these enterprises President Brigham Young was the leading spirit and most conspicuous figure. The 
 Deseret Telegraph line, built by the Mormon people, under his direction, preceded by two and a half years the ad- 
 vent of the Pacific Railroad. This period saw the inception of that mammoth business concern, Ziou's Co-opera- 
 tive Mercantile Institution, organized by the Mormon leader to unite and consolidate the commercial intei'ests of 
 his people. It also witnessed the reopening of the mines, which, uncovered by General P. E. Conner and other uou- 
 Mormons in 1863-4, had languished for lack of capital. Sampling mills and smelters were now erected, ore aud 
 bullion shipped, and Utah, ever at the van in agriculture, began forging to the fore as a great mining common- 
 wealth. With the influx of non-Mormon population consequent upon these developments, came the organization 
 of rival political parties, the first that Utah had known, upon lines running parallel with religious and other differ- 
 ences between Mormons and Gentiles. By these names were the two classes in the community commonly called, 
 though they were known politically as the People's and the Liberal parties. The Salt Lake Herald and Salt Lake 
 Tribune, both great newspapers, the former independent, the latter anti-Mormon in tone, came into being as suc- 
 cessors to other journalistic rivals of the Deseret JYews; and non-Mormon churches, of which there had. been a few 
 in Utah from the beginning, were now rapidly multiplied. Against these powerful agents, mostly working with a 
 more or less united purpose for its disintegration, Mormonism, strongly entrenched, continued to hold its own. 
 In the midst of the changes thus inaugurated, Brigham Young, the founder of Utah, died at Salt Lake City, 
 August 29th, 1877. 
 
 As early as 1862 Congress had legislated upon the subject of polygamy, the plural marriage system of the 
 Saints, practiced by Joseph Smith and other Mormon leaders at Nauvoo, but never publicly promulgated by the 
 Church until 1852. Never at any time did more than two per cent of the Mormon people practice plural marriage, 
 though all or most of them believed the principal to be divine. Mormon polygamy was nothing akin to the poly- 
 gamy of the Turks or other Oriental peoples of the present time. It was the Patriarchal order of marriage, practiced 
 by Abraham, Jacob, Moses and other ancient worthies, and was one of the principles of the Gospel as restored 
 through the Prophet Joseph Smith. To the Saints it was the key to the celestial kingdom the highest degree of 
 
!.<)<. AN. MANTI AM) ST. t;K< U< ;K TKM I'l.Ks. 
 
heavenly glory where family relationships 
 formed on earth according to divine law, 
 are perpetuated. The anti-polygamy act 
 was not enforced, and for twenty years re- 
 mained a dead letter, the Mormons regard- 
 ing it as unconstitutional, since it infringed 
 upon a principle of their religion, and many 
 non-Mormons, including men high in the 
 councils of the nation sharing the same 
 view. It was declared constitutional by 
 the Supreme Court of the United States in 
 January, 1879, a test case that of the 
 United States vs. George Reynolds having 
 been submitted in order to draw forth a 
 decision upon the subject from that august 
 tribunal. 
 
 In March, 1882, Congress enacted the 
 so-called Edmunds Law, under which an 
 anti-polygamy crusade was inaugurated in 
 THE JEWISH SYNAGOGUE, (Salt Lake City. ) Utah, Idaho and Arizona, wherever the 
 
 Saints had settlements. The Edmunds Law, like its predecessor, made punishable by fine and imprisonment the 
 marrying of plural wives, but went further than the statute of 1862 in that it not only inflicted heavier penalties 
 for that offense, but also made punishable, as unlawful cohabitation, the living with plural wives; in fact, the 
 mere acknowledgement of a plural wife was construed and punished by the Federal courts as "unlawful cohabita- 
 tion." During the progress of the crusade, in March, 1887, the Edmunds Act was supplanted by the Edmunds- 
 
Tucker Law, under which most >f the pro- 
 perty of the Mormon Church was forfeited 
 and escheated to the Government. Upon 
 the sufferings inflicted during th;it period 
 of trouble no citizen of Utah loves to dwell. 
 From 1884 to 1890 the Territory was raked 
 from one end to the other as with a sharp- 
 toothed harrow, and the Church made to 
 w'eep bitter and even bloody te;u-s. Hordes 
 of deputy marshals, tunifd loo-i- ii|>on the 
 helpless community, hunted their victims 
 with the assiduity of sleuth-hounds. Men 
 and woflaen were agonized to an extent 
 almost unbearable. One man a Mormon 
 citizen of high repute was shot and killed 
 by an over-zealous deputy, who. indicted 
 and tried for manslaughter, was acquitted 
 in the District Court. Delicate women, 
 
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ fleeing from arrest, often in the night-time, 
 ST. MAKV'S ( ATHEDRAL (CATHOLIC). died from terror, exposure and exhaustion, 
 
 01 siiuVring injuries from which they never recovered. The exchequer of the Federal courts was swollen to 
 repletion from fines collected in polygamous cases, and the penitentiaries were crowded with convicts for con- 
 srience sake. Nearly a thousand convictions under the anti-polygamy statutes testify to the rigor of the crusade 
 and the sincerity of the Mormon people in the crucial test of their integrity. Scarcely a man, and not one woman 
 for the women and children were imprisoned also weakened under the terrible strain brought to bear by the 
 
iron hand of the Government through its 
 local representatives, and purchased immun- 
 ity from persecution by a "promise to 
 obey. ' ' Among those who went to prison 
 rather than be false to their convictions 
 and renounce a principle of their religion, 
 were Lorenzo Snow, George Q. Cannon and 
 Francis M. Lyman, three of the Twelve 
 Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of 
 Latter-day Saints. Hundreds of other 
 Elders among the most reputable in the 
 community were fined and imprisoned for 
 like cause, and nearly all the Church lead- 
 ers were driven into exile. The settlements 
 of the Saints in Mexico and Canada were 
 greatly strengthened by emigrations from 
 Utah and Arizona during this troubled 
 period. President John Taylor, who had 
 succeeded Brigham Young as the head of 
 ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL (EPISCOPAL). the Church, died in exile, July 25th, 1887, 
 
 a victim of the crusade, a martyr to his religious convictions. 
 
 With the advent into power of his successor, President Wilford Woodruff, came in September, 1890, the 
 Manifesto, discontinuing the practice of plural marriage. The people were told by their leader that the Lord 
 accepted of their sacrifices, and desired them now to submit to the law of the land. They obeyed. An era of 
 good feeling ensued. Mormons and Gentiles affiliated socially and politically and were friendly as never before. 
 
Local political lines, upon which a lon^and 
 bitter fight had been waged, were obliter- 
 ated, and the citizens generally, regardless 
 of past predjudiees and affiliations, divided 
 on national party lines as Democrats and 
 Republicans. Presidents Harrison and 
 Cleveland, in successive proclamation >>. 
 pardoned all polyjramists, and the Mormon 
 Church property, confiscated under the 
 operations of the Edmunds-Tucker Law, 
 was restored by act of Congress to its right- 
 ful owner. Utah, a Territory siuce 1850, 
 was on January 4, 18%, admitted into the 
 Union as a State. 
 
 The present leader of the Latter-day 
 Saints is Lorenzo Snow, who on September

 Wilford Woodruff, succeeded him as Presi- 
 dent and as Prophet, Seer and Revelator. 
 FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Eighty-seven years of age, but with power 
 
 of mind and body unimpaired, he has taken hold of the helm of the Church with a strong and steady hand. A 
 natural financier, his first moves have been largely of a financial character, to relieve the Church of the heavy 
 burden under which it has labored ever since its finances were crippled by the confiscation of its property under 
 the Edmunds-Tucker Act. President Suow is also a man of fine spiritual perceptions, of literary tastes and 
 poetic temperment, and possesses to a marked degree the love and confidence of his people. His two counselors

 The prospects of Mormonism were 
 never brighter than now. Its devotees in 
 all the world number about three hundred 
 thousand souls, mostly dwelling in the 
 "Stakes of Zion," of which there are forty- 
 five located in the Rocky Mountain region, 
 from Canada to Mexico. The outside mis- 
 sions number fourteen, and comprise most 
 of the countries of the globe. The Mor- 
 mon Church is recognized as the most com- 
 plete and effective in existence, surpassing 
 even that of the powerful Roman Catholic 
 Church. Without entering into a detailed 
 description of it, suffice it to say that at the 
 head of the Church are three High Priests, 
 constituting the First Presidency, and next 
 in authority to these are the Twelve 
 the Patriarch and the Presiding Bishopric the 
 of the Church under the direction of the First 
 three High Priests, who, with a High Council of

 Bishopric, under whom are Priests, Teachers and Dea- 
 cons, officers in the Aaronic Priesthood, as High Presto, 
 Seventies and Elders are officers in the Melchesidek 
 Priesthood. The High Councils are the appellate courts 
 < >f t lie Church, the Bishops' courts being the lower tribun- 
 als. The extreme penalty imposed by these courts is 
 excommunication. The present personnel of the r'ir>t 
 Presidency has been given ; that of the Twelve Apostles 
 is as follows: Brigham Young, Francis M. Lyman, John 
 Henry Smith, George Teasdale, Heber J. Grant, John W. 
 Tylor, Marriner W. Merrill, Anthon H. Lund, Mathias 
 F. Cowley, Abraham O. Woodruff, Rudger Clawson and 
 Reed Smoot. 
 
 Utah has had fifteen Governors, all but two of them 
 non-Mormons and all but one appointed by the President 
 of the United States. The solitary exception is the 
 present Governor, Heber M. Wells, son of General 
 Daniel II. Wells, deceased, formerly a leader among tin- 
 Latter-day Saints. Governor Wells is the first Mormon 
 Executive since Governor Young. He was elected in 
 November, 1895, and installed in January, 1896; he was 
 re-elected November, 1900. The other State offices are 
 about equally divided between the two classes of the 
 community. The population of the State has alw:i\> 
 been overwhelmingly Mormon. 
 
THE SWEDISH LUTHERAN CHURCH. 
 
 Among the many points of interest in and around the 
 metropolis of Mormondom are the Temple, the Tabernacle, 
 the Lion and Bee-Hive Houses, the Guardo House, the Eagle 
 Gate and the Theatre; all projected by Brigham Young, and 
 completed, with one exception, during his lifetime. The 
 exception is the Temple the sixth one erected by the Saints 
 begun in April, 1853, and finished and dedicated in April, 
 1893. The Tabernacle has an auditorium capable of holding 
 ten thousand people, and contains one of the finest organs in 
 the world; the Tabernacle Choir, a famous body of singers, 
 carried off the second prize in a choral contest at the World's 
 Fair in 1893. The Lion and Bee-Hive Houses were President 
 Young's residences, and the Eagle Gate stands on the spot 
 that was once the entrance to his premises. Other objects of 
 note are the Assembly Hall, the City and County Building, the 
 Saltair Pavilion, the Garfield Bathing Resort, Fort Douglas, 
 the Pioneer Monument, and last, but not least, the grave of 
 Brigham Young. Fort Douglas, on the hill east of the city, 
 was founded by General P. E. Conner, commanding the Cali- 
 fornia and Nevada Volunteers, in October, 1862. Saltair on 
 the Lake shore, erected in 1893 by Mormon capital, is a most 
 beautiful specimen of architecture, and without doubt the 
 most magnificent bathing pavilion on the face of the globe. 
 Another attraction and pleasure resort, quite as unique, is the 
 Salt Palace, Aside from these, Utah has many other 
 
notable structures, such as the State University at Salt Lake City and branch at Cedar, the Agricultural College 
 ami Brigham Young College at Logan, the Brigham Young Academy at Provo and branch at Fort Cameron (Beaver), 
 the St. George, Logan and Manti Temples, and the numerous handsome church and school edifices that dot the 
 landscape in every direction. The free school system of Salt Lake City is one of the finest in the Western <-, .untry. 
 Utah with her wonderful climate, her unlimited resources and countless attractions, offers the gr-;it<->i induce- 
 ments to capital seeking investment and to people in quest of homes.

 A Typical Mormon Hymn. 
 
 By Eliza R. Snow. 
 
 O mv Father, thou that dwellest 
 
 In the high and glorious place! 
 When shall I regain thy presence, 
 
 And again behold thv face? 
 In thy holy habitation, 
 
 Did my spirit once reside? 
 In my first primeval childhood, 
 
 Was I nurtured near thy side. 
 
 For a wise and glorious purpose 
 
 Thou hast placed me here on earth, 
 And withheld the recollection 
 
 Of my former friends and birth. 
 Yet ofttimes a secret something 
 
 \Vlii>]T('<l, -you're a stranger here;*' 
 And I felt that I had wandered 
 
 From a more exalted sphere. 
 
 I had learned to call thee Father, 
 
 Through thy Spirit from on high; 
 But, until the Key of Knowledge 
 
 Was restored, I knew not why. 
 In the heavens are parents single? 
 
 No, the thought makes reason stare! 
 Truth is reason; truth eternal 
 
 Tells me I've a mother there. 
 
 When I leave this frail existence, 
 
 When I lay this mortal by, 
 Father, Mother, may I meet you 
 
 In your royal courts on high? 
 Then, at length, when I've completed 
 
 All you sent me forth to do, 
 With your mutual approbation 
 
 Let me come and dwell with you.

NOTEWORTHY INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 The University of Utah. 
 
 The University of Utah (the State University) now comprises three schools: the School of Arts and Sciences, 
 the State School of Mines, and the State Normal School. To meet the demands of students from different parts 
 of the State where there are no high schools, a Preparatory department is maintained. 
 
 The University was established in 1850 by legislative enactment, but existed in most part only in name 
 until 1869, when Dr. John R. Park was chosen as its President. Since 1869 it has grown gradually until now it is 
 the foremost educational institution in the whole intermountain region. 
 
 It is located adjacent to Salt Lake City, on its beautiful new site on the east bench which overlooks the City, 
 Valley, and the Great Salt Lake. With the snow-capped mountains inclosing the valley, the view as seen from 
 the University site is made one of the grandest in the United States. 
 
 The cut on the opposite page shows the Library Building, one of the three large buildings completed in the 
 fall of 1900. There are two more now under way of construction. In the fall of the present year, 1901, there 
 will be ready for occupancy, therefore, five fine new buildings, all well lighted, heated and ventilated; namely, the 
 Library, Physical Science or Engineering, the Museum or School of Mines, the Normal, and Shop Buildings. 
 
 All the buildings except the one for shops are three stories high, and from 120 to 140 feet long, and from 62 
 to 68 feet wide. Each one is especially constructed to suit the particular kind of work for which it is to be used. 
 
 The Physical Science Building is essentially a laboratory building, for it is used for work in Chemistry, Metal- 
 lurgy, Physics, and Mechanical Drawing. The arrangement and equipment of this building are of the most 
 modern character and indeed unique. 
 
LIBRARY BUILDING UNIVERSITY OF UTAH. 
 
The Museum Building is arranged for class and laboratory work in Geology, Mineralogy, Botanj^, Zoology, 
 and Physiology, with laboratories and class rooms and working museums, all carefully fitted up for the purpose for 
 which they are to be used. This building also has a large, fine auditorium and a gymnasium. The auditorium is 
 to be used for a study room and also for all kinds of students' gatherings. The gymnasium is fitted up with the 
 various kinds of apparatus used in physical development and supplied with shower baths and other conveniences, in 
 every way suitable to fulfill the needs of gymnastic work. 
 
 The Shop Building is so contructed as to make it convenient and most suitable in every way for all sorts of 
 work with the best kinds of machinery, for carpentry and pattern making, forging, casting and moulding and 
 engine testing. 
 
 The Library and Normal Buildings are constructed especially for the work to be accomplished in them, and 
 provided with facilities and conveniences unsurpassed in most other like institutions. 
 
 The professors and instructors in the different schools of the University are specialists in their several depart- 
 ments and nearly all have done wo.-k in, or are graduates from, the best Universities in the United States.

 Salt Lake Business College. 
 
 One of the most important institutions of the State is the Salt Lake Business College, the oldest, the 
 largest, and most successful busiress college in the West. It was established in 1888, and for several years had a 
 steady growth. In 1899, when Prof. Joseph Nelson became its President, the college put on its seven league 
 boots. The next year it had grown to such an extent that it had to seek a new home. It found one in the Zion's 
 Savings Bank Building, where it is at present located. The fact that there was not a vacant seat in the College 
 this year speaks volumes for the Institution. It has a corps of thorough, practical business teachers, men who 
 have achieved high honors in their respective departments. 
 
 During the thirteen years of its existence the Salt Lake Business College has turned out thousands of 
 young men and women, who are making their mark in the business world. It took them in in a rough state; it 
 
/.ION S SAVIXCS 15ANK ^ SALT LAKE BUSINESS COLLEGE 
 
 polished them and sent them out a credit to themselves, 
 their employees and the institution itself. 
 
 After taking a course in the Salt Lake Business Col- 
 lege, a young man can go out and make his way in the 
 world; he requires no bolstering up; he can stand alone; 
 his success is assured. 
 
 This Institution furnishes hundreds of young people 
 with pleasant and profitable positions every year. It is a 
 credit to the State.

 Zion's Savings Bank. 
 
 Zion's Savings Bank & Trust Company is one of the 
 historic institutions of our State. Founded on August (>th, 
 1873, by Brigham Young and his associates, it has ever 
 been prominently before the people of the State, and while 
 its growth at first was slow, it has been constant and 
 steady. 
 
 At the present time it has opened 27,770 accounts, 
 with aggregate deposits of $2,682,605.30. These accounts 
 are opened by all classes and quite frequently by children 
 and married women, who, under the laws of Utah, have 
 a right to open accounts in their own names subject to 
 their own order without the interference of any other 
 person. 
 
OQUIRRH SCHOOL BUILDING. 
 
 The smallest amount received is $1.00, 
 and no limit is placed as to larger 
 amounts to be received, although deposits 
 in excess of 5,000 are only received upon 
 special arrangement made with the Presi- 
 dent or Cashier of the bank. 
 
 Many deposits are received from other 
 lands and the institution although small 
 compared with some of the great financial 
 institutions of the money-centers, has 
 an international reputation for stability 
 and fair dealing. 
 
 The bank building, which is shown here- 
 with, is located at No. 1 Main Street, at the 
 South-east intersection of East Temple 
 and South Temple Streets, and the statue of 
 Brigham Young, surmounting the Pioneer 
 Monument, is placed to face toward the 
 Bank and the outstretched arm of the 
 great pioneer leader to point to its doors.

 Saint Hark's Hospital 
 
 St. Mark's Hospital was first established in 1872, and was the first hospital in the State. Through the 
 earnest work and energy of its founders it soon became a powerful factor in this community and a great blessing to 
 
the mining camps around. It was incor- 
 porated in 1878 and continued its'"uHeful 
 work in the building at the corner of Fifth 
 East and Third South streets until the 
 autumn of IS'.t.;. when these buildings were 
 abandoned and the main building of the 
 present hospital was occupied. 
 
 The Hospital is plc.-isantly located at 
 the north of the city, and commands a 
 beautiful view of the surrounding moun- 
 tains and valley. 
 
 The building has two wings, each four 
 stories high, and contains several large 
 wards besides a great number of large,com- 
 modious private rooms, oj>erating room, 
 laboratory, offices, etc., and an K pis. -opal 
 chapel. The most modern surgical appli- 
 ances and appartus are in use, and the most 
 noted physicians of the Stale in attendance.

 The Salt Lake Private Hospital. 
 
 A little over a year ago the Salt Lake Private Hospital was established for the accommodation of that large 
 class of persons who dread the removal from home life and comforts necessitated by a stay in tin- laryvr hospitals.

This institution offers all the comforts 
 of a home with all the advantages of a

 will find it especially convenient. It is 
 justly popular with lying-in women. Pat- 
 rons are allowed their choice of physicians. 
 
 The hospital is located at 352 East 
 First South Street, in a quiet residence 
 district only three and a half blocks from 
 Main Street. A physician is resident at the 
 hospital and skilled nurses are constantly 
 in attendance. All surgical and non-con-

 St, Mary's Academy, 
 
 This Institution, established in 1875, is 
 under the direction of the Sisters of the 
 Holy Cross, from the well-known and justily 
 celebrated St. Mary's Academy, Notre 
 LOWELL SCHOOL. Dame, Indiana, where they spend many 
 
 years in preparing themselves for their great work, the proper education of youth. It is located in Salt Lake City; 
 is easy of access by rail from the North, South, East and West. The object of the Academy is to prepare young 
 ladies for any sphere of life to which they may be called ; to give a thorough knowledge of letters, science and 
 art, based upon a solid moral and Christian education. As true education consists in the harmonious devetope- 
 ment'of the moral, intellectual and physical qualities, a system that ignores_or .neglects any of these elements of

the triple culture of the heart, mind and 
 bodyjmust be radically~'defective. Hence, 
 the care taken at St. Mary's to strengthen 
 the heart as well as the mind, the soul as 
 well as the body to prepare young ladies 
 to not only grace society with their accom- 
 plishments but honor and edify it by their 
 virtues. 
 
 The Academy buildings, of brick, with 
 stone trimmings, are spacious, comfortable 
 and commodious admirably adapted, in 
 every respect, to the object in view at their 
 erection. Modern improvemements in light, 
 heat, ventilation and for the safety of the 
 pupils are employed. There are extensive 
 and beautiful recreation grounds provided. 
 
 The course of studies in the various 
 departments is as extensive and thorough 
 as long experience in teaching and a large 
 and capable staff of teachers can make it. 
 The best systems of instruction are adopted, and the best authors selected for each branch, including art and music.

 One of the grandest finished graves in the 
 West is that of the late Fred H. Auerbach, which 
 is located in the Jewish Cemetery on the south 
 side of the City Cemetery, and a cut of which 
 accompanies this sketch. In life Mr. Auerbach 
 was perhaps the most popular Hebrew in Utah. 
 He made a record for philanthropy in his public 
 life that his friends are justly proud of, for while 
 he was building up an immense fortune by his 
 business tact and industry, he was giving to pub- 
 lic charities and needy individuals with a liberal- 
 ity indicative of the good Samaritan. Mr. Auer- 
 bach's name will be long and favorably remem- 
 bered in Utah. The grave lot is surrounded by a 
 beautifully designed iron fence, and a massive 
 marble stone and a marble seat are placed at the

 other State in the Union contains within its borders such a vari-

 the outside, there are very few of the necessaries or luxuries of 
 life that could not be produced within the boundaries' of Utah iu 
 abundance. It is an empire within itself. The fact will be easily 
 
 sustaining a very large population, and affording a variety of 
 scenery that makes the whole State singularly attractive and a 
 charming place of abode. A greater portion of its area consti- 
 tutes the eastern and fruitful portions of the Great Basin, that 
 strange region whose waters are lost in the earth and never 
 reach the ocean. The eastern half of the State is drained into

 realized by a study of her endless variety of ag- 
 ricultural and mineral products. Although it is 
 but fifty years since settlement began in Utah, 
 the extraordinary scope of our possibilities in 
 mining, agriculture, industry, in ranch and range 
 production, and internal commerce already de- 
 veloped, proves this beyond question ; and much 
 of what is now imported might easily be pro- 
 duced in our midst, should it become necessary. 
 With every variety _ 
 of climate whica 
 is generally salu- 
 brious and agree- 
 able, there are the 
 valleys for the far- 
 mer, the gardine r 
 
 and the fruitgrower; the foot hill slopes and terraces for the sheep raiser; the moun- 
 tains for the miner; the scenery and hunt ing among the mountains, the water fowl 
 and grouse of the prairies for the pleasure seeker; the thermal springs, the Salt Lake 
 air and bathing for tin- invalid, and plenty of opportunity for enterprising men. 
 
 The people of Utah are fraternal, progressive and well abreast of the Ameri- 
 can tide of advancement; in each town and hamlet there is a marked degree of am- 
 bition towards refinement and intellectual developement, there is not a settlement 
 without its literary society, and in music, painting oratory, social culture and 
 
 in general educational matters, the people rank with any Western commonwealth.
