ing. in company with the Colorado gen.
tlemen who made the trip hitherwerd
with him. Yesterdays severe and I'M
expected orm showed us at our worst;
but it did not deter the members of the
party organized and engineered by Mr..
Carter from considering prospects an
examining some properties. Those OF
the gentlemen who visit our city for the
first time are quick to appreciate its ad-
vantages, and it is evident that Mr..
Carter and his partner, Major Stanton,
are not slow to point out such as might
he overlooked.
Mr.. Carter says this is only the begin
ming OF his excursions here, and that
before he gets through with his present
plan mos of the, men of means in
Denver will have visited this city, and
he is confident that an investigation of
the advantages of Salt Lake will Ger
tainly be followed by an investment.
One gentleman Of the party, who pro-
ceeded to California last night, stated
that while he had already invested
here, he would be glad to put in more
means, and he was gazing at the
driving snow while he made the state
ment.
Mr.. Carter, speaking on the subject,
stated that he found no difficulty in
convincing his atquaintsnces that Salt
Lake was the coming city. Il have
three applicants where 1 have one piece
of property to SELL" said be. TINS
much I may say: Those bring mere
are men of means; men who can invest
if they feel disposed; men who wish to
invest, and men who undoubtedly will
invest. My work is of advantage to ALL
al l see no reason why parties having
property to sell should not join
with US to give opportunities for the
Investment of means by enterprising
business men from other sections.

arily, they will make their interests

every way. Many of them will become
permanent and enter. rising citizens.

high that men of sense would not

We might all just as well give
up. I make no reference to particular
Drms, but there are those who have
ought to sell properties to gentlemen [
have been instrumental in bringing
here land who have come prepared to
make inyestments). but these real es-
tate parties have been unwilling that
we should reap any of the reward, Yet
they could not be induced to contribute
toward my expenses in bringing these
customers to them. | hardly tSink
real estate men appreciate the good
they are capable of accomplishing in
advancing the material prosperity OF
Utah, and there is wisdom IN the Sc
lection by property owners of persons
with whom to trust their properties.
AS a matter of wisdom, q wise man
should prefer to dispose of piece of
land to man of great means, at even
less figure, than to a man OF limited
means, because the man of large
means will improve his own
ings in proportion to his means.
Buildings: enhance the value of the
property itself snd its surroundings
The commission is proportional to the
value of the property or the price OBJ
tanned for it, and it is no more troutle
to sell large than small piece. There
is philosophy in the business which
many have yet TO learn.
This much 1 can say: My aim is to
bring desirable class of men to this
city. l have done so in this excursion
This is only the beginning. | should
like to be in position where l can in
duce these men to place money here
home. I would like the cooperation
of other real estate men and of owners
who have property to sell. 1t would
help the city, and 1 presume will not
be called overly immodest if l say it
will not hurt our firm. We are bent on
doing all we can TO forward the inter
ests of Salt Lake City. We expect to
make good living out of it, but what
we NAV make W II not be drop as CON-
pared with the b anefits 10 this section,
il we continue to bring in such class
OF men as have visited here this time.
And it is with the best class only-men
of means and enterprise that we are
doing our work"
Mr.. Carter was little indignant at
the course pursued by one or two real
estate f rms, and learning what our re-
porter cid Mr.. Carter was extremely
mild in his expressions concerning
them.
"By the way" he cried. as the re-
porter turned to leave, put me down
as a devcut and unconditional believer
in the coming of Salt Lakes greatness
and prosperity"
The party will remain about ten
days.
Mr.. Creswell, of the big printing
house in Denver, is with the party.
So also is MIR. Whitehead, Golden,
Colorado, banker; and a very clear
headed business-like gentleman he is.
He has been looking at several places.
One large tract is now being considered
by him.
