Yards the Cliff House and Niagara Falls and andon andon on Cooks Tours and on the Seeing Things Cars They have heard of them and they want to be able to talk about them w when they get back home to people peo who dont want to listen Salt alt Lake Cit City and on Saturday nl nights In particular Davis County or orIs oris Is It a go to the Lagoon When Senator Bam Bamberger erger gets his almost railroad Into that city Ogden will also go to The Lagoon The Lagoon Is an amusement park not essentially different from other amuse amusement amusement ment parks For since whoever of blessed memory invented the made to tofit fit tame Amusement Park every Bold Bad City has its little lit little tle Sunday Sweetheart tucked awa away within good reaching distance against the time when work is over and the bright little lights glare begins to hurt An innocent harmless pla plaything of shade and sort soft sunlight You can sit all day In any Washing Washington ton hotel lobby and find fault with the colors In the Congressional library the dome of the Capitol or the United States Stales house of representatives The Ideal Washingtonian has the most dim ideas concerning the Interior of the monument and whether Lincoln or or McKinley was shot In Ford theatre or bar It If you want to know an any ot of these things lay for the first tourist you ou can find but If you OU want to get to the almost any anybody b body dy can tell teU you ou what time the Luna park cars leave from In front of the From the tho Auditorium Annex to the Waldorf aldorf A across from the Wells street depot ask the way to or orthe orthe the how of the stockyards and If your our friend In too much of a hurry to gt get to the White City he may tell you ou to look In the city directory tory or go to a bookstore and get yourself a copy of The Jungle And so 80 It Is It If you wish to get to the Lagoon watch atch the shops Saturday night as they empty and wonder If it worth while to go to toa toa a place in which will spend the thelast thelast last quarter ot of her six fifty a week wonder It if It worth while when from the street car you see a woman carrying to the depot her baby be because cause laUle she Bhe wants wanta the nickel to buy pea peanuts peanuts nuts to teed feed the HIp bears Wonder Vonder If it Very much worth while to follow tollow so 80 many smiles where according to the logic of those who have ceased to be beable beable able to enjoy enjo there should be tears The smiles will lead you toward the Lagoon Follow them There are much worse things to do than follow the trail ot of those whose pleasure drags away at a weeks end Instead ot of over overcrowding crow crowding the hours Defeat of the Desert There isn t much difference In these amusement parks Willow grove and Rocky Glen and Luna and Belle Isle and Far Rockaway and the Lagoon and the tho thousand others Some of them are a trifle more elaborate but they all are places to gO to not to have been to Places to which the only excuse to go Is to want to be bes beo I o s I r 1 t aM aMY aMU a U Y p M o i i V 1 amused If you cant be amused at any of them you ou are too old or too fat fatmen men mentally or in love with a girl In an another another other town who Is probably at an another another other amusement park with somebody el else Ill admit that last as a detri detriment ment But looking at people who are arc happy happ Is good even for fir that The amusement park represents the last word of Mother Nature plus the American inventor to get the smiles out of the American heart and put them on exhibition The Lagoon is a aLuna Luna park with a western accent It If you ou could get at atthe atthe the soul of It It would tell you a long story about how much It cost its ex exact exact act largest crowd and lIe The people I Iare are not so well dressed as they would be nt at Cone Coney Island but they have the I Coney Island smile But It if oud go goback goback back east and tell them how the La Lagoon I goon was dug out of a swamp and the park filled in about it of the fight with sand fand and salt falt of the effort to get a thou thousand nd trees to grow where there was not before a sagebrush he would take off his hat as the tho easterner al alwa wa ways s does to the last great American epic The Defeat of the Desert The Lagoon Described The Lagoon is seventeen miles north of Salt Lake City and Is reached ed b by a railroad which Is also in winter as well as summer the outlet for a respectable enough milk and suburban trade to justify its existence The road is now extended beyond the park toward Og Ogden Ogden den which place it will eventually reach It Is also Intended to electrify It at the proper time and so to make electric communication between the two cities of Salt Lake and Ogden The season at the park is as is the tho case with practically all the Salt Lake Cit City resorts from Decoration day to Labor Laborda da day daThe The lagoon the lake was formed b by damming up a former salt swamp and andIs andis Is now fed by means of an elaborate system stem of artesian wells There Ther are supposed to be fish In It I dont want to be particular but Its an awfully good rule not to use a stronger word than supposed with regard to fish you have not seen On the lake is a puffy launch also row rowboats rowboats boats of a particular kind which you youcan ou can rock it if you are that kind and not get drowned About the lagoon Jagoon are the tho shoot the chutes a contrivance consist consistIng fug Ing of an inclined plane up which you are hauled in a flat bot bottom bottom tom car by means of a cable attached to a gasoline engine Whereupon hereupon you ou are shot down again Into the lagoon At the exact moment your car hits the water It Is transformed into a Ken Kentuck Kentucky tuck tucky flatboat the chauffeur becomes a gondolier and the occupants scream Incidentally you buy your tickets at atthe atthe the entrance gate They are collected by the Individual at the top who turns the car about for It to shoot down I want to know what would happen it if you should appear at the top There would certainly be no better method of ejection than to fire you I down the shoot whereupon you OU would I got get your our ride This would i seem to me to present a problem of a proper revenge against the grafting penniless Next door is a roller coast coaster er In front is of course the ubiquitous ubiquitous tous These three are entered as the final tribute to the sixth American speed The fast car on the roller coaster has made the
