Show THE SALT AIR HOTEL The Finest Pier and Pavilion on tho Lake It Will Be First Class Tlio Rio Grande Western Said to lie Backing the Schema Saltair is shooting to the front The iron torso is headed that way on bands of steel To the outside observer there may be no sense in building a railroad to Saltair Wait and see I There are not many men in this city given to building railroads to tho moon in I fact it is hard to get them to back a rock ribbed proposition The men who arc back of tho Saltair enterprise en-terprise never speak It is even said that they muffle the spikes for fear of attracting attract-ing attention There is something ahead of the Saltair road as well as behind it There is ahead of it a hotel such as the people bare been praying the Union Pacific people to build It will indeed be a surprise sur-prise to look down South Temple street and see the great towers of a modern watering resort palace lighted up by electric elec-tric light just thirteen miles out from the cityA A big hotel a long pier and an immense pavilion are all ahead of the Saltair railroad rail-road and the only object for not building them uutil the railroad is completed is for the very good reason that their erection will require millions of feet of lumber and this can be transported to the lake shore cheaper after the railroad is completed than before It is claimed that the Rio Grando Western is very friendly to the new resort and it is even intimated that it is back of the scheme though this is not known It however how-ever has been no secret that the Rio Grande has for many years been anxious to have a resort on the lake to bo able to compete with the Union Pacific in offering its tourists tho lake trip and since it has built numerous branches over the territory excursions from local points to the lake will cut quite a figure in the passenger receipts One thing only is certain and that is that the Saltair railroad means another bathing resort on the lake that will far surpass in its buildings the present improvements at Garfield |
