from Minneapolis, St. Paul, Cleveland.
st. Louis, Chicago and other large CT les
to visit Utah. The railroad people,
seeing the benefit which would accrue
to their roads as we'll as to Utah, &C
c p ted the proposition upon certain
conditions, which are that the citizens
of
OGDEN, SALT LAKE AND Provo
shall raise sufficient money to meet
the expenses of properly advertising

gests that each of the three cities
furnish representative TO cooperate
with Jae railroads In the work Of
advertising, and that an illustrated
pamphlet, devoted to q description OF
the immense resources and attrac-
lions OF the Territory ne gotten, and
distributed where they will do the most
good. Such plan would undoubtedly

plan To them. All present expressed
themselves az being very Iavorably i'm

this excursion u huge success, provided

them in raising fund. Mr.. Carter's
next move will be to present the matter

after which it IS hoped that the Salt
Lake Chamber of Commerce will re
u1est the Provo and Ogden boards to
