THE YEARS EXHIBIT.

Inc year now swiftly drawing to close
opened full of doubt, distrust and mispiv-
ing for the people of Utah. This was
markedly the case with the citizens of Salt
Lake. The so-called "boom, of 1880 er
tended into the early summer of 1890. and
then collapsed. Booms are good enouph
while they are on, but experience has
proven that in the long run they are MIGHTY
bad things for the many, although the few
may profit from them; that thew are had
Tor the city which they attack however
eager the people may be to induce them to
come. They are almost Invariably followed
by reaction, which is too often accor,
panied by disaster. Mushroom growth is mot
nealthy. II progress is unduly swift it
will be succeeded by period of tagging
until the general average has been made
good. The history of boom towns is not
pleasant story to those unable to .sget ort,,
In time Fortunately the Salt Lake bonn
was OF short duration and not of gigantic
proportions. 1t was also fortunate thar
the booming done here was not entireI,,
OF the windy order. There was a substan.
laI foundation upon which to build

Desirable location meant all that the ex-
preston implied. The city is situated in
the center of district extending 500 miles
IN any direction, and every section of this
vast territory contributing more or less to
the business and welfare of Salt Lake
With such foundation, with such re-
sources, and with the confidence of our
own people of that order which cannot no
easily shaken, year of booming could not
do great damage.
nevertheless at the beginning of the wear
people realized that the reaction was unon |
the town and they knew that we mpst nor,
for whatever of unhealthy growth and
of extravaganza we had indulpad
in. Furthermore the financial panic in
the east occasioned by the BAR1No

and this will always be the case whilst We

continuing the Liberal party, united with

and that which kept the Liberal alive hav-

Inc political movement here told about
we regard as extremely important and
mighty beneficial. Its excellent effects are
already felt everywhere in the territory.
Inc old feeling of hate which was so in
tense eighteen months ago, and which was
encountered In every walk of life is fast
passing away. In some local communities

early coming of peace and that unity of
purpose and sentiment which leads all
good citizens to labor for the welfare of the
community, however widely they NAV
differ in their political principles. The alb
sence OF that spirit of unity has been q
severe detriment to Utah, retarding growth
and development and conveying to the out
SIDE world the impression that the com
nunity was in state of constant strife
and disorder.

When The CHRISTMAS HERALD of 1900

A TRIP TO THE WORLDS FAIR

Four hundred years will soon have come

OF the New World. In commemoration of
his great discovery, the Worlds Columbian
