Show COOL AS A CUCUMBER At Brightons the Coming Summer Resort UIDSOMMEB SHIVERING SPOT The Healthy FareThe Lovely Silver Lake Register I of Tourists Telephone c mmunIcmton 1 FRIGHTeN Big Cottonwood Jyi ly IStttj 1887 S It will sound increrfibla to such of your readers as do n know it to learn that within thirty miles of torrid Salt Lake there is r retreat lovely as the Valley of the Chamonni where at the same time you are crowding trains to the lake in quest of cooler and purer air we of thu luouqtaina promenade the woods with overcoats and wraps or peruse the summer novel around a crackling cottage stove It costs but little more to live here than in the city after you are on the ground hotel board and lodging are 12 a week j board alone 9 j this considering con-sidering that the place is almost in accesible by teams and that all supplies sup-plies have to be got up with a struggle something like the breaking of new country at every trip is not excessive ex-cessive The fare at this cafe de Brighton is just what one wants and would be disappointed not to find at a country table Cream galore thick yellow and seemingly in baustible butter irom the churn everyday every-day buttermilk the richest red lake trout occasionally j hot biscuit and the usual more rugged list of meats potatoes pota-toes and etceteras Of course if you have your own tent or cottage as many swell city folk have you cook for yourself and only depend upon Dame Brighton for your milk and butter and if yon want to goo go-o that extent for you trout as well when she will let it go This the Walk era the Hamptons the Andersons and the Godbes who have their own houses hero are accustomed to dOj but one doesnt get many tastes of trout away rom the hotel table j the speckled denizens deni-zens of the lakeit is all still water tish lug here hold themselves exclusively oack for the hotel and scorn to bestow any notice upon a fly that is not cast by Tom Brighton Jr the boy whom he has solely inducted nto the mysteries of his art Our dudes with their gaily tinted flies their 30 poles and their silk sea grass lines lit all day in the boat and never get so much as a rise while the hotel bov sitting in the same boat clad in a bluu Jumper and trousers fastened around he waist with a gingham string a freckled face a deep crack in his lip and with a birch pole and line of white thread steadily hauls out struggling halfpounders and nonchalantly adds them to his string Silver Lake is just now at its love heat nearly every night brings a light shower and the sun of tne next morning makes millions of diamonds upon the wilderness of pines and quaking asp with whichour little circular cir-cular valley is girt around j the ten acres of green pasture slope that stretches between the houses and the lake was never greener the great rugged bold peaks that rise to the sky on two or three sides of us never seemed more commanding com-manding or majestic the air is of the purest and coolest and one drinks in health and invigoration with every draught feeling their strengthening virtues as he inhales It would require no great stretch of the imagination to fancy this little valley val-ley ten or twenty years hence as great a resort on the Utah Denver Rio Grande as Manitou is at present on the Colorado line It will be strange if some one before long does not appear with money enough to buy the Bright ons out and erect here a great summer hotel to run a tramway from Alta a distance only of three miles and to place the grand air of the place within the reach of invalids who are now debarred de-barred from it by the difficulties of the trip After all what city folk most want in hot weather is cool weather and the man who can bestow that boom at a minimum figure especially if it is only half a days trip from your doors is the man who will be rewarded with most of the city folks money It is for children that the air of the mountains seems most salutary there are half a hundred youngers shouting about the place at this writing most of whom were weak or puling or threatened with some complaint or other when their parents tore them from the city and in half a days journey laid them back in the days of April and May or forward for-ward to those of Indian summer The lusty lungs and rosy cheeks and sturdy legs tell what even a few days in the mountains have done for them Brightonsas a summer resort has at tracted enough attention to cause the telephone people to aim for it with their poles and wires A force of a dozen men has been at work for a week spanning the distance between Alta in Little Cottonwood and the Crescent Cres-cent mine in the Park This is a distance of eight miles and the wires are all strung except over a strip 2400 feet wide which is included in four mining claims belonging to Mr A G 1addock Mr Paddock having no love for monopolies it appears wants the telephone monopoly to re imburse him tor the privilege of stretch ing their wires over his ground j the telephone people demur and how much delay be caused I may before we are I placed in wire communication with the outer world is uncertain The following have registered at the hotel thus far this season Charles Read Salt Lake George W Groo Matt Connelly David Keith R A Brighton Ontario Mine 0 F Annett Salt Lake A C Hammond and wife Misd Minnie YoungW C Wallace Park

Sloan are among those looked tor within the next few days Just as I am ready to send this off Mr Brighton who took the contract erecting the telephone poles informs me that the difficulty with Mr Paddock has been adjusted and that by 2 today Alta and the Crescent mine will be in communication with each other which means that Alta will be in communication communica-tion with Salt Lake j the instrument for Brightons has not yet arrived but is expected daily when it comes we too shall be able to rack your soul with daily records of the status of our thermometer GAX |
