Little Zion. which Dr. Fisher declares outranks anything in American scenery, is to be the next national park. This information infor-mation came to Dr. Fisher after his view-s had been sent to Washington. Here are the courts of the patriarchs, the court of music, the court of many waters, cotirt of saints and the court of ages, which are so little known to the people of Utah, yet which rival the scenic wonders of the Yellowstone Yel-lowstone and of Yrosemite. . "We live in one of the most beautiful beauti-ful portions of the world," said Dr. Fisher, "but we forget the beauties and grandeur .in an age of commercialism.
