Besides those are Mills creek, Parley's, Emigration, and City Creek canyons, all extremely picturesque ana delightfully romantic. Pleasant Drives abound in scores around the outskirts of the city; along the quiet country roads, and through the lanes dividing meadows of rich green alfalfa and fields of grain; while the majestic mountains are never entirely lost sight ot. From under the branches of trees and above hedges of the wild dog-ros-glimpses are caught of snow.covered peaks. A Douglas, and then a mile further on to the mouth of Emigration canyon Is most delightful. It was here that the sight of the Mormon pioneers was Urst made glad by the vast expanse of Salt Lake valley sud-denly bursting upon them, on the 9th of July, 1S4.. The Great Salt Lake. "I think." says Ernest Ingersoll, "few per- sons realize how wonrterfullv. strangely beautiful th's inland sea is," and' speaking of its sunsets Phil Koblnson has said: "Where have I not seen sunsets, by land and sea in Asia. Africa, Europe and America, and where can 1 say I have ever seen more wonderous csoulnosreintg, more electrif j ing effects than in the ou the Great Salt Lake of TUah." Salt Lake Is as beautiful a sheet of water as can be found anywhere. The waves are a bright blue or green, and as they dance on Its surface It? would be hard I o tell which color prevails.

Senator Stanford is back in his scat today, after a trip to California. His health has not lieen restored by travel. After sitting in the chamber a short time ho called a carriage and took a party of his friends to the race track, where one of his famous electioneer colts was to try his mettle. The senator thinks that this horse will prove a world heater, and ho displayed hirn to his friends with much prldo. Tho senator will soon sail for Europe. It is doubt-ful if he continues in public lifo long. At the beginning of this session he in-troduced some queer Lflls, which drew a great deal of attention to him. He liad the most liberal plaus for relieving the agricultural depression. For a few weeks he was hailed as a deliverer of tho oppressed. The cranks gathered around him, aud the senator plunged into the subject, and was in-terviewed right and left. His express-ions grew moro nnd more radical. Friends at length interfered aud planned this trip to California. They have also induced the senator to decide upon tho European journey. It was found to be absolutely necessary to get him away from Washington and to turn his mind from gigantic ideas of governmental philanthropy. New York Monoy and Stocks. New York, May 6.

Numerous letters have been received iu response to these circulars, and Indicate much dissatisfaction at the proposition to divido the fair by putting the lino art and foreign exhibits ou tho lake front and tho agricultural, livo stock aud implement exhibits at another point, say Garfield park, or in tho of tho stock yards.

Wool Frospotits In the West. American Wool Reporter. Our local correspondence from the wool-growin- sections oT the interior affords much valuable information to those interested in wool, regarding the prospects, prices, etc., of the coming clip. Tho mildness of the past winter in nearly every sectiou of the west is a subject of general remark, while tho strong demand for mutton sheep is an important factor of the situation and one which should not be lost sight of. The condition of sheep Is almost every-where reported as excellent, and tlie blades of steel which have thus far d tho lleece have revealed a strongly grown, light conditioned staple. It is needless to say that the grower's views as to values have not changed iu tho direction of their expressing a will-ingness to accept less thau last year's prices for their wool; on the contrary there is overv lirobabilitv that the snu- - son will be slow iu opeuiug, owing to tho wide difference in the views ot the dealer and grower. The former has tho unprofitableness of last season's busi-ness still fresh iu his mind and tho de-pressed condition of woolen manufac-turing interests, which is axiomatic, staring him in the face, while tho latter has received for his clip iu '89 and stimulated by tho belief of very bene-licia- l results accruing in the event of the passage of a bill in congress iu the dir-ection of the iucreased duties on wool. While the losses in Eastern Oregon, Northern California, Nevada and cer-tai- u portious of Utah have been heavy, the slight impetus given to sheep hus-bandry by causes previously cited will moro than offset diminution in the range districts, and we have every rca-so- u to believe will result in a very no- - ticeaule augmentation of tho wool pro- duction of 1SJ0.
