Show It is said the contract foT' the basement base-ment of tho Ontario hotel is about to be awarded. Tho hotel registers show no diminution of visitor to the city, uiid with greater accommodations tho num- ber will swell accordingly. There is room right now for both tho East end and Ontario hotels. No other city offers so many sights and attractions to tho stranger, and nothing but the fear of liuding all tbe hostleries crowded deters many transcontinental tourists from dropping off and spending a few days here. The time is not distant when Salt Lake City will be the natural sanitarium of the west and tho great lake the fashionable resort of the inter-mountain country. There, loo. tho lack of hotel facilities operates to our prejudice. Witiout advertising the healing properties prop-erties of tho hot springs, the rejuvenating rejuvenat-ing effect of our dead sea, the invigorating invigor-ating zephyrs of the mountains, tbe absence ab-sence of fierce windstorms and other if cliinatio advantages, tho flow of visitors from all parts of the country is so steady as to make Salt Lake one of the best of western hotel towns. |
