Since then many miles of similar plots hare keen constructed. Two elements entered into the building of this style of street surfacing. The first was utility and the second was beautifying the city. The Hist was probably the mors important. Were it not for this plan, building widths Instead of the sixty-foo- t the streets would hare been restricted to forty-foo- t thoroughfares that now exist, the pride and Joy of all Salt Lakers. The future was reckoned with and consideration district had expanded to twice and eren thrice its present else, there would be no condition to yielded that traffic was certain to increase and in the generations to come, when the present business area. It is probable that fifty years from now it may stretch into a hundred when the contend with that has hampered the growth of many other cities; namely, narrow streets in the down-towpresent generation has been succeeded by the second and third generations, it will be freely remarked that were it not for the wisdom and foresight of those old fogies of 1910 and 20 much Inconvenience would be encountered by narrow steets, the ordinary civic of our present civilisation.

" RlltftL. peeiai te Tbe Tribes WASHINGTON. one for the Tribune-Overlapathfinder, 1 which has covered over of highway, for the benefit of the touring ptihlio through this intermountain country. Each year pees a heavy tncreaSb 4n travel over roads in many cases - motoring unfamiliar to the drivers and each year Tribune atrip maps of thesa roads become more popular with the traveling ' public. The work of roada hea been reduced to a science, which fcean has sccomltahed only by years of study. 'Tbs work -- of mapping - and - logging roada for motorists was originated by The Tribune more than fifteen years ago. Thera was no established precedent to follow and the work was developed step by step, year by year, until the present system of atrip maps is recognised as the most efficient now in use In America. Others have adopted The Tribune idea until now practically evary section of the country has Its pathfinders out each year preparing data for the motorists' uaa. Few, however, have gone aa ter as The Tribune in compiling the data gathered each year into book form, so the motorist oaa each season equip himself with a tour book, knowing ft contains the latest informatics obtainable on the roada covered. Each year The Tribune pathfinder baa been compelled So extend its territory In this work So meet the increased demand for toad information. With Sait laka City as a center. The Tribune now covers ail the main highways and crossroads la every direction for a distance of about 404 miles. However, in the ease ef the Zion Park highway to - southern ttallfornla he highway map extends to Bare tow. Cal., a distance of TIB mile. This year the new Victory highway, the shortest known route between Belt i Lake and Denver, was added to tbe strip ' map collection as far as Steamboat .Springs Colo. The route haa developedn coneiderabie travel during the past and bids fair to become one of the Utah important highways leading into over this from theaat route erdseee the continental divide at , Berthoud pass at an altitude of 11.330 feet. The road also crosses the divide on the Babbit Ear pass at an altitude of 4(00 feet Tbe state of Colorado is - building fine graded roads over both of theso passes, and it Is surprising the ease with which they can be negotiated. The scenery over both Babbit Ear pass end Berthoud pase is unexcelled. The Victory highway enter Ienver through Idaho Springs over the Lookout Mountain boulevard, past Buffalo BUI Cody's grave and through the beautiful town of Golden. In northwestern Colorado, howler. the famous Yampa valley, through Which the Moffat raUroed runs west, furnishes beautiful scenery for the motorist. The .high mountain passes, together with the Yampa valley and the Uintah basin, give the tourist an idea of crosscountry scento routes as far as Colorado and Utah are concerned. Realising the Importance of the Lincoln highway to travel. The Tribune pathfinder this year extended its strip map system as far east as Laramie, Wyo. At this point the tourist may continue straight east through Cheyenne or turn south to Denver, following the old Overland trail when the village of La Porte. CXk., was considered an important town. However, Port Collins, a few miles away, haa grown into a city to take the place of 1a Porte, famous when ox team travel bound for the Pacific roast was at its height. The Lincoln highway east of Salt Lake will always be an important through route traveled by tourists who desire to make time rather than see mountain scenery. Trips to the Grand canyon. Including Rryco and Zten oanyone. were made this ear. This was the sixth trip a Tribune pathfinding car had made to the north rim of the Grand canyon. It was hi 1412 that the initial visit was msde. This car pioneered the way to the Grand canyon and ths route through the Kalbab forest was over the virgin forest bed, with ho sign of a road. The compaaa pointed the way and the soft pine needlee did not greatly interfere with the progress of the car. A splendid highway has since been constructed through the forest, following practically the route laid out toy ' The Tribune pathfinder nearly ten years ago. Many minor changes were msde In map to the Grand canyon ihla yaar be- cause of highway improvements. Yellowstone park, Jarkaen Hole and a direct route into Montana wa covered again this season. These routes have all been mepped before, hut construction on the roads made It necessary to again go over the highways.

Bv the thousands who each week, through the medium of the automatic picture machine, journeveil to the famoua beauty spots of the intermountain region, it will be remembered that every eonecivable type of scenic picture was included in the hundreds gathered for display. The Grand can von, Zion national park, Brvces canyon. Cedar brakes,. Yellowstone national park, tbe canyons about Salt Lake, views Jo the west where deserts and desolation reign and to tho east, where mountain barriers yielded scenes of rare finding; all were photographed for reproduction. The original colors were transmitted from the photographers brain to the glass slide to appear as in reaht In all nearly 400 dif reproduced on the baloptieon during the period extending from July 20 to November 0. Every twenty seconds from 8 oclock in the evening until 12 midnight, one picture was shown. Disking a total of 720 times a view was flashed during the evenings entertainment and 82,280 during the season. Approximately 5000 milea was traveled by Tribune photographers in . search of pictures. Although closed for the winter he baloptieon will resume its mission, that of bringing to Salt Lakers and all others the message of the intermoun-taiof the touring season territorys acenie wonderland, with tho . opening next spring. ' tween Ashton and the perk. Early this fall the government started work graveling the graded road between ihese paints and assurance has been given that this work will toe completed before the park opens next season. Other main highways which will be Improved for next year's travel are the Wendover road leading to San Francisco through northern Nevada. The road over through Echo canyon. leading east first-clathe Lincoln highway, ahould d in condition, and much Improvement should be found on the Grand canyon highway below Mary aval.
