I I “The Knutsford,” Salt Lake, Utah — Illustrated. the knutsford •> it Salt Lake’s Palatial Hotel. Cost $750,000. Furnished at an Expense of $150,000. Exterior and Interior Views In Every Way Equal to “The Auditorium” of Chicago. HIS magnificent house, completed in May and opened for the reception of guests on June 3d, 1891, represents an actual outlay of $750,000. It is not only a source ot pride to Salt Lake City and the inter-mountain country, but stands as a lasting monument to the enterprise, pluck and energy of the builders and lessees. It is built of gray granite, has a frontage of 165 feet on State Street and 250 feet on East Third South Street, and is seven stories in height above the basement. 1 here are 250 guests’ rooms, single or en suite, 75 of which have baths, while cn every floor commodious bathrooms have been provided. The ventilation and sewerage is as near perfect as modern sanitary engineers could make it, while the character of the building renders it practically fire-proof. The Knutsford is centrally located, near all the places of interest and important business houses, on both electric car lines, and is thoroughly equipped with all modern im- provements. The cost of furnishing it alone was more than $150,000, and neither pains nor money have been spared to make it rank as a first-class, home-like hotel. That the reader may form some idea of this magnificent house, a brief description is given here. THE QUESTS’ CHAMBERS are on the upper floors, and they are finished and furnished in an Orien- tal manner. Every room has outside windows and abundance of light and ventilation. . Handsome Moquette carpets of gobelin-blue, terra cotta, red and olive cover the hall floors, which are continuous around the entire building. All the rooms fronting south on all the floors are carpeted with Axminsters, Moquettes and velvets, both in single and en suite. Bath rooms with all conveniences are attached, also fur- nished in mahogany, natural cherry, old English oak, antique oak, sixteenth century, cremona and Flemish iron. The corner rooms, or suite of rooms, fronting south and west contain large bay windows, and a superb view is had of the valley, lake and mountain ranges; in fact, all rooms on the south and west and east sides afford magnificent and charming views of the valley, lake and mountains. THE BRIbdL CHAMBERS are regally beautiful, fuinished in mahogany, the floors covered with the softest of Axminster carpets, beautiful in color and design, while the furniture is satin, upholstered in colors of ivory and old pink. THE ROOF is fitted up for promenade concerts, and the view from this elevation and the observatory cannot be excelled in the country. FIRE PROTECTION. While the hotel is practically fire-proof, every precaution has been taken for the safety or the guests, as every device for the prevention of damage by fire known to mod- ern science has been used in constructing the building, while inclosed fire escapes, down which a child can climb with ease, are on both sides of the building. Further no build- ings are attached, the hotel occupying a half block of ground. THE ELEV4T0R5, two in number, reach the seventh story, are very rapid, and are provided with all the safety appliances known. THE BdLSEMENT is utilized for the electric dynamos, which supply the light for the entire building, steam laundry, hydraulic lifts, wine rooms, baggage rooms, storage, engine and boiler rooms, etc., etc. THE ANNEX, four stories in height, contains the kitchen, refrigerators, vegetable cellars, bakeries, store- rooms, and has 100 sleeping apartments for employees. THE KNQT5FORB, in its entirety, is not excelled by any hotel in the United States. Its furnishings are beautiful in the extreme, and were selected with a view to please the eye as wejl as for the comfort of its patrons. That it has been admira- bly done is evinced by the large patronage it has had from the open- ing day. The cost of furnishing it alone was more than $150,000. The hotel is admirably situated. The electric cars of both lines of railway pass its doors, and it is pre-eminently the hotel of Salt Lake City, where one can enjoy both luxury and comfort, and it may well be said that at last Salt Lake City, the coming commercial center of the West, and the tourist’s resort, has a hotel to satisfy the most fastidious. The Knutsford orchestra gives music during dinner every even- ing, and affords much pleasure to the guests. THE MdNdQEMENT. Mr. G. S. Holmes, the proprietor of this fine hotel, is fast becom- ing one of the first men in this line in America. That he has shown remarkable ability, superior management, pluck and energy, in spite of much discouragement, is undisputed. There is no better evidence of this than the fact that he has beaten the record in the opening of a hotel of great importance, in a first-class manner, in less time than was thought possible to do, viz., within sixty days after signing the lease, and he purchased the furnishings 2,000 miles from home. The selec- tor 18 were not only made quickly, but with excellent judgment and taste, completely adapted and suited to the various departments to which they belonged. The detail and system necessary to conduct such an institution, backed by confidence, shrewdness and judgment, belong to this young manager, and he is deserving, indeed, of all the success that is possible to obtain. Any city would feel proud of such a citizen, as the influence or such men is soon felt, and they do much toward the advancement of all surroundings and should have the support of all good citizens. Mr. F. S. Harris, the polite and affable clerk, is at the head of the office force, and is one of the most popular hotel clerks in the West. He has been with Mr. Holmes for a number of years, and his friends are legion. Mr. Harry Burton and Harry Ferguson, with Misses Halkett and Kenrick, help make up the office staff. . Mu Frank Maynes, steward, and Mrs. M. A. Behrens, housekeeper, are valued heads in their respective departments; in fact, all the important positions are filled with com- petent and experienced help, thereby giving excellent service and showing Mr. Holmes’ ability to properly carry on a business of much complication smoothly and successfully. We predict for him a big success, and certainly wish it, as he richly deserves. 2 “The Knutsford,” Salt Lake, Utah — Illustrated 200 ROOJWS 50 SUITS WITH BATHS bay WIDOWS The ^VLost Central Iioeation in the City And St^ietly piist^Class . . . . . .

BUSINESS PART OF SALT LAKE, UTAH. SALT LAKE CITY, the inter-mountain metropolis; "a beautiful and progressive city of 55,000 inhabitants, surrounded by a vast tributary country, rich and varied in its resources and wonderful in its possibilities; the Mecca of seekers of health, wealth or pleasure. Sait Lake City, the beautiful metropolis of Utah, nestles at the foot of the Wasatch range of mountains, and overlooks the grand valley of the Great Salt Lake. Not only is it the metropolis of Utah, but it is, in every sense of the word, the railroad, commercial, mining, smelting, manufacturing, educational, social, amusement, and in every other sense, the center of the inter-mountain states and territories, including western Colorado, northern Arizona, eastern Nevada, all of Utah, southeastern Oregon, Idaho, southwestern Montana and western Wyoming. This gives her as a tributary country, for the supremacy of which she has no rival, a won- derfully rich, productive and rapidly developing section fully 600 miles square, in which she is steadily extend- ing her trade and strengthening her relations. Situated as Salt Lake City is, 600 miles from Denver and 800 miles from San Francisco, in the center of a population of quite one-half million, she is destined, with the rapid and substantial growth of her tributary country, to excel, in the rapidity and solidity of her advancement, any other Western city which has yet astonished the easy-going people of the East. Salt Lake City of a few years ago was only a bright and refreshing spot in a trans-continental trip, where the tourist might stop for a day or two to gaze in wonder upon and ask innumerable questions concerning the peculiar church and creed of the then vast majority of its population. It is still a point of interest in that respect, but the great stream of tour- ists is augmented by the greater stream of people who have come and are just beginning to come to Sait Lake City in response to that impulse of the human nature which prompts people to go to that locality where condi- tions indicate that in the shortest time, with the least effort and the greatest certainty of success, one can improve his circumstances, either financially, physically or otherwise. The wonderful possibilities of Salt Lake City for meeting such requirements as those just indicated have begun to be noised abroad, and the result is that within the past three years her population has increased fully seventy-five per cent., and now numbers more than half a hundred thousand; her wealth has trebled, and likewise her business. Her commercial importance and her manufacturing enterprises have increased in number and outgrown in extent the most ambitious expectations of their energetic promoters. Her advantages and her possibilities as a healthful local- ity, where the climate, the thermal and medicinal springs, and the wonderful bathing in the Great Salt Lake, will do more to benefit a greater percentage of afflicted humanity than will nature and science combined at any other locality, are spreading her fame. At no other^ place on either continent will such a wonderful and such a close alliance between the various features of a health and summer resort be found as at Salt Lake City, where the mountain breezes, with their usual sajine qualities, give life and vigor to failing con- stitutions, and where waters bubble from the bowels of the earth, laden with qualities and ingredients in such equitable proDortions as to prove a panacea for scores of nature’s ills; where, too, over-worked and fatigued bodies may strengthen and renew their vigor in the tissue-building and life-giving waters of the great inland sea, whose invigorating qualities and tonic effects render the Great Salt Lake at once the most refreshing and most beneficial bathing place in the known world; and from floating on whose billowy bosom ’tis but the ride of an hour to altitudes in cool and shaded canyons, where mid-summer’s heat is exchanged for autumnal breezes, coupled with all the delights and pleasures of a typical mountain resort, simple in its rusticity, healthful in its simplicity and delightful in the matchless beauty of its surroundings. To all of these lavish bestowals nature has added, for Salt Lake City’s aggrandizement, untold wealth in minerals and agricultural countries, which present an ideal reciprocity and are limitless in their possibilities and certainties. With these environments contributed by nature, and with their utilization by an energetic, industrious, intelligent and prosperous people, Salt Lake City’s present and future are such as to command the attention and to merit the praises of all per- sons whose ambitions lead them to seek new fields for a display or an expansion of their talents and their capabilities. MANUFACTURES. In the matter of manufactures there is no Western city which has more readily accessible raw materials necessary to conduct manufactures of any staple character. She has an abundance of excellent coal, which is already much cheaper than in many Eastern cities, and is being rapidly cheapened by the development of new coal fields. The Utah coals possess excellent cokeing qualities, and Utah coal is alone used in smelting ores at Salt Lake City. No better iron ore exists in America than is found in Utah in close proximity to Salt Lake City. There are some 400 different manufacturing concerns in Salt Lake, with an extensive investment of capi- tal, whose annual output in round numbers is estimated at $12,000,000. With a market of half a million of peo- ple, almost any line of manufacturing that pays anywhere in the West will pay in Salt Lake City, where the citizens are glad to extend a reasonable amount of assistance and encouragement to any legitimate manufactur- ing enterprise seeking a location here. 4 ‘'The Knutsford,” Salt Lake, LItah — Illustrated.

She has two clubs — the Alta, with a membership of 250, and the Utah Club (the latter just started), with a membership of 109. There are innumer- able social, literary, musical and other ciubs. Salt Lake is a great musical center, and numbers among its musical organizations the Choral Society, of 400 voices, with an orchestra of 40 pieces. The Apollo Club, of 40 voices; the Ladies’ Guitar and Mandolin Club and the Spanish Students’ Guitar and Mandolin Club, each 40 pieces, and the Young Ladies’ Musicale are the principal organizations. Many social clubs are organized dur- ing the bathing and dancing seasons at various resorts in and near Salt Lake City. The best theatrical attrac- tions stop here, and the city is without a superior as an amusement center. The Salt Lake Theater, with a seating capacitv of 1.800, is first class in all its appointments. The Military Band Concerts at Fort Douglas, a United States Post adjoining the city limits, are very entertaining features of summer evenings. EDUCATIONAL. Salt Lake has a thoroughly-organized public-school system, with schools in each of the 22 wards, in which are emploved about 120 teachers. With the rapid increase of population this number is growing. The Deseret University, which is a territorial normal school, is located here, and has an attendance of about 350. /\11 branches usually taught in state universities are taught here, including military instructions, by an officer of the United States Regular Army. The Territorial Deaf and Dumb Asylum, in which the latest methods are used, is in Salt Lake. Nearly every evangelical denomination has a college in this city, where are taught those branches taught in denominational schools in the East. There are, in fact, about 50 educational institutions in the city. Notable among these is the St. Mary’s Academy, conducted by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, where the finest of musical talent is employed, together with painting, fancy work, art. in all its branches, and all studies usually taught in such institutions, including shorthand and typewriting. With their large, commodious and well-ventilated building, including a new addi- tion just completed, 64x168 feet, three stories and basement, with ceilings from 13^ to 16 feet high, situated on an elevated site in the most healthful part of the city, commanding a charming view of the Wasatch Ranges, the beautiful valley, the Great Salt Lake, with its island mountains, together with their well shaped and com- modious grounds, it is the most complete and desirable institution of its kind in the West. Salt Lake City is also quite an art center and has an artists’ society. RELIGIOUS. All Protestant denominations are represented by flourishing congregations. The Catholics have two flour ishing and wealthy congregations. No one need have any douots about finding ample religious or any other advantages in Salt Lake City, to which they have been accustomed in the east. SUMMER AND PLEASURE RESORTS. As has been stated, Salt Lake City people are great pleasure-seekers. There are on Salt Lake a number of very fine bathing resorts, which, in their bath houses and general appointments, are superior to nearly all the Atlantic resorts. These are Garfield Beach, Lake Park and Syracuse. Solitaire Beach. Crescent Park, Buffalo Park and Stansbury Park are new bathing resorts, expected to open during this or next season. Bathing trains leave the city for these resorts every hour and return every hour. The resorts are from 12 to 22 miles distant from the city, and the runs are made in from 30 to 45 minutes. There is nothing which excels the water of the Great Salt Lake for bathing. It containes in solids from 17 to 22 per cent., while the water of the ocean carries only from 3 to 5 per cent. There is absolutely no danger in bathing there, as it is impossible to sink, because there is no undertow. There is alwavs sufficient movement in the water to make easy, undulating waves, upon which bathers delight to float. The bathing season lasts from May 1st to October 1st, and nearly one-quarter of a million of bathers annually indulge in a dip in the lake. There is nothing more invigorating or has a more tonic effect than a bath in the Great Salt Lake. Within and near the city limits are numerous thermal and medicinal springs, whose waters, of temperatures varying from 106 to 118 degrees, possess wonderful curative properties for rheumatic and similar troubles, and also for diseases of the cuticle. These healthful advantages, taken in connection with Salt Lake’s wonderful climate, make her as desirable a health resort as is to be found anywhere. Up the various mountain canons which open into the Great Salt Lake valley there are numerous mountain resorts, where may be enjoyed a restful and refreshing period during the summer days. Many Salt Lake people enjoy their summer outings by camping up the various canons, which are accessible by delight- fully romantic drives or railways, affording a business man an opportunity of spending the day at his business and being with his family at night in their mountain resort. Delightful trips for tourists who have the time, and they should certainly take the time, can be made to the various mining camps, situated from 12 to 80 miles from Salt Lake City, where trips may be made through some of the greatest mines on this continent. The mountain streams near Salt Lake City afford some of the finest game fishing to be found anywhere. 6 “The Knutsford,” Salt Lake, Utah — Illustrated WE MAKE A SPECIALTY OP hawing Visitors all the Points of interest in alt Lake Gity IN A WAY THAT GIVES UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION FORTY PASSENGER RAYMOND COACH .
