BOOM TALK,

No one questions that The HERALD is
thoroughly IN earnest incitswork foF
Utah S prosperity. When it speaks en-
couragingly of boom, tits not boom
in the sense of a feverish excitement
which, when the reaction comes, leaves
the place infinitely worse than it wa
before. The boom we want is one so
solidly founded that there can be 70
disheartening reaction. There is a
future for Utah. It IS a gre at
future in more than a commercial
sense, though that is the point now to
be considered. AS compared with any
city this side of Omaha on the east and
San Francisco on the west, Salt Lake is
without rival in her opportunities
founded upon the abundance Of re-
sources with which Utah is so manifc
entity blessed. AS jobbing centre she
stands pre-eminent in the inter
mountain region, but before this will
materially contribute to the greatness
there will need be a material increase
IN the inter-territoral popu alton.
The rspidity Of real estate iran .fers,
while it betoksns asrowing activi y
AND an easy state in the money market
is not an unfailing sign of permanent
prosper:tT, The unfailipg sign is in
information of the character received
here yesterday, and in the work of our
citizens blessed with the spirit OF enter
prise. An Iowa canning firm has writ
ten announcing its intention of coming
here and starting a fruit canning es-
Enlistment, if the proper encourage
ment be offered.
The shoe factory now in course OF
erection By 2. c. NJ. l., the severa
wooden mills, the chemical and glass
works-these tell of boom that is last
ing and spermanent. The omission of
reference to mining, and the several in
dustries founded upon it. is not due to
any idea of its insigni6cance; only, il
does not seem to fit here.
How much stock will our citizens
take in the proposed canning establish
ment2 How much will they take in
other industries. These show the IN
failing confidence of citizens in the flu
ture of their own section. Without
this con6dence it cannot b. inspired in
others. We want imported money. II
can be coaxed here by the faith OF those
living here. By that faith the boom
which will follow may be made az last
ing as the resources and heaven-blessed
soil upon which it wifi be based. Why
in yesterdays HERALD it was an
uounced that the CUimer Bros. were
going into the manufacture of demi
Johns, This is enough to make tee
totaler shudder. So far as THE HERALI
Is concerned it would rejoice if the sb-
stemiousness of the world were such
that the mere mention of liquor o.
beer bottle or demijohn would be tt
all ss if one spoke in an unknown
tongue. May that day come. But i
is not now. Beer bottles and demijohnt
are made. This is material age. PEG
pie must be fed and some will feeC
others by drinking brewed beyer-
ages and distilled liquors, aRs
since these things,-harmless il
themselves, but so unfortunately
associated-Gre to be made, then le
them be made here. This reasoning
does not go to the brewing of malt o.
the distillation of liquors. If.therefore
demijohDs are to be made, We rejoic,
thRt'the Gunner Bros. have the'push tt
go at it. 81 sa 9.a
Gentlemen of means, that is the kim
of talk which means the right kind of
boom-shoe factories, :woolen mills
smelters, glass works, soap factories
with the great basis of agriculture upol
which to rear these neutrality-suspicious.
ures.
He talks best who does most. Tn
boom comes to those who make, il
They make who go into it.
Can't you-see it, gentlemen?
Let US have the canning establish
ment.
