LooK TO THE FUTURE.

We venture Il ESTATE that the real es-
tate business is in healthier and more
prosperous condition than it has teen
at any time yet. Many persons IL the
business will! fail, because not strong
enough for the race, but the level
headed, energetic ones, will make 1t
win. There are buyers, and there will
be buyers. These Will no longer be
spectators with a few dollars behind
them, but juoicious men, seeking for
permanent aud reasonable investments,
who will do much for Salt Cake, be-
cause of their interests, sad because OF
its opportunities.
There are very many places that lick
any thing like the opportunities which
this city possesses, but which outdc US,
because of greater harmony, further
sightedness, and clearer conception
of that business conduct which leads
TO more permanent, and therefore, in
the long run. more profitable results.
Few realize how tender was therecent

paramount adYantages-the really Won

active opposition on the part of great

a very unfortunate reputation and enc
which could not be recovered from in
some time.
OF course, We know absolutely that
there is q great future Cor This city and
for Utah Territory. In the natural
course of events it is inevitable that a
grand commonwealth with grand
municipalities VIII be the outcome of
the boundless resources of this
Territory boundless in extent
and variety. Mischievous men,
political bigots and others may. it is
true. retard it; bat it will come. Why
not then, ludIciously and wisely, (like
earnest men who look to the future and
for the employment that must yet be
furnished to countless hundreds,)
should we not wisely unite our ener-
gies and by fair and truthful statements
widely cireuIated and backed By our
own acts and investment, take su;h
steps as will bring into cur midst men
who desire 10 be inspired only by what
is,truthful and fair? There are many
idle men in Utah to day. To find
labor for the unemployed is a question
that has vexed even our labor

ity; but we know one thing GER
tain, that banks and men who
Will not lend to local Industries money
and who will not themselves take any
steps TO assist in the building up OF
manufactures are short-sIghted and
have little care for what the future may
bring to others. Only by manufactures
here may the babes of to-
day find employment when the years
of manhood are reached.
And it is to this end, not for any
feverish prosperity, not for blooms" or
conditions which a warm breath may
create and cold breath dissipate, but
for a future that will give to all the
children of our commonwealth an |

that the vast natural wealth with |
which the All Powerful has blessed this
Territory may be utilized for the benefit
Of those to whom God is daily giving
life, and to whom every man owes it
that he shall help them to work out a
temporal salvation.
