Show FOUNTAINS OF IIE1LTII Found Bubbling up in All Parts of "Utah. "MILO-ZIP" ON "UTAH'S FAME." Are the People Prepared for the Thousands Thous-ands of Weary Travelers Who Seek Our Invigorating Clime? I Editor Bugler: Two weeks ago, under the caption cap-tion of "Utah's Fame," you made reference to this Territory as a great health resort, to which thousands of the world's uleasurc hunters would come for health and recreation. Your reference was pertinent and allow me to supplement it with mentioning in some detail some of the great attractions which will bring people here merely to regain their health or to find the recreation which they seek. In the hrst place, our climate is among the strongest inducements. It is said that it did not please God to make anything perfect, but be came as near making the climate of Utah perfect as anything that left his manufacturing establishment. establish-ment. Then there arc the pure air and the grand mountains, the fertility fer-tility of the soil and the resources of the valleys and mountains. But the greatest features abounding in Utah are the mineral springs and Great Salt Lake, the greatest sanitarium in the world. The day will come when the waters of Salt Lake will have a reputation as much exalted above all competitors as the snow-crowned snow-crowned r eaks surrounding it are above their own foundations. Besides the lake, there are numerous nu-merous health springs scattered through the Territory. Between this city and Brigham, as everybody every-body knows, are the Ogden Hot Springs. By the expenditure of several thousands of dollars the place is destined to become one of the most popular pleasure places in Utah. Further north, and partly in Utah and partly in Idaho, is one of the most picturesque places and bodies of water I have ever seen. I refer to Bear Lake, which some day will become a great pleasure pleas-ure resort in the summer time. To the south-east of Ogden are the peculiar Hot Pots. They are located at Midway, in Wasatch County. Directly east of the Pots is Brighton Bright-on Lake. Of course it is generally gener-ally known that near Salt Lake City are the Warm Springs and Beck's Hot Springs. South of Salt Lake is Utah Lake, and a beautiful sheet , of water it is, the largest body of1 fresh water west of the Missouri river. Inr Spanish Fork canyon are the wonderful Castilla Springs, than which there are none in the west so powerful in curing the dis- ease of rheumatism. About $50,000 , have been spent in improvements on this resort, which in comparison with other Utah places, surpasses ' them all in advantages. It has the finest mineral water for bathing bath-ing and drinking; there is an abundance abun-dance of fresh water, grand scenery and is the only all-the-year-round pleasure resort in Utah. Farther south are Funk's Lake, Fish Lake, Panguich Lake and many other places suitable for pleasure resorts. . As a camping out ground, Utah is not surpassed. Willi all these ; advantages the time must come i when the weary, disordered. , health-seeking sufferers must flock 1 hereby the thousands, and hence the appropriateness of your suggestion for the people to prepare for the i mi migration. They are coming. Are Ihcpeople of Utah preparing to receive and entertain them? With these visitors will come thousands of dollars which they will spend freely if the treatment is worth the price set on it. Utah has millions in her watering places which may lie regarded with pride and as the means of adding gnatly to the wealth and attractiveness of the Territory. Mn.o-Zir. " Ogden, May 3rd, 1H02. |
