is by no means an unimportant one. For
years Salt Lake has been the headqusr
ters of the sheep industry (which has re-
turned great profits and assisted in build
ing UP this city. Next to mining, it has
been the largest single industry of the
territory, The owners of the fOcks OF
sheep, which are scattered over the
mountains and valleys, for the most part
make their homes in Salt Lake, or look
forward to the time when they can retire
here with their accumulated wealth.
Another factor of considerable moment to
the stock industry OF Utah has been the
establishment here in the past year of
large shipping yards.
AS distributing point, Salt Lake has
never lost the vantage ground she held as
the first settlement of Utah. Her growth
as the jobbing center of the inter- noun
tain country has been commensurate
with the rapid development of that coun-
try Merchandise for interior towns,
agricultural implements for the fields of
three states and territories, supplies and
machinery for the mlnes-in these prin-
cipal lines large mercantile establish
ments have sprung up and multiplied
with astonishing rapidity. Eastern fac

Salt Lake, and finally to the establish

say the first) requisite of an ideal place
for a home-remunerative employment
has been fully met in Salt Lake city. The
inducement offered by Salt Lake to labor
of both high and low degree is that which
invariably accompanies the development
of a country rich in natural resources
The enumeration OF city's resources is
in itself one of the very best guides in de-
termining the location of a home. What
ever may have been the doubt IN time
past as to Salt Lakes ultimate des-
tiny as the largest ana most prosperous
city in the inter- mountain country, that
doubt has been forever dissipated by the
events of the past few years. AS long as
the mountains continue to give up their
treasures and the soil to yield its harvests,
Salt Lake will not only be home of
health and beauty, but one OF profit and
plenty.
SOCIAL, RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.
What are the social, the religious and
the educational advantages offered by
Salt Lake? What OF her protection from
crime; from devastation by fire? What
rates of taxation does she exact in return
for benefits of government? Finally,
how does the cost of living in relation to
wages compare with that of other cities
of our land? These are questions which
every homeseeker asks, for they are vital
elements in the consideration of the ideal
place for home.
The social characteristics of Salt Lake
city necessarily partake OF the spirit OF

the west, an NJ n ariy of the rugged
west. We are not hemmed by extreme
conventionalities, dominated by caste of
any kind or enervated by over-indulg
ences. The oppo .tunities open to all for
advancement and enrichment, make each
man coDsiderate of his neighbour; for the
poor man of today may be the rich one OF
the morrow. The spirit of freedom, in
dependence, hospitality and invincibility
characteristic of mountainous regions
everywhere, mark the life of Salt Lake.
Opinion is democratic, honest, open and
unaffected The gentler influences of life
have by no means been wanting. Even
in the primitive days of the Salt Lake
colony, when t. e struggle was often one
for actual exi tie &c, the fine arts were
cultivated. theatre, in many
in the land, was erected at
time when the trade of the community
was largely conducted by barter. Music,
drama, sculpture and painting had their
devotees. The result of that influence is
seen in the number of artists whom Salt
Lake has given to national renown.
Thus the asperities and the amenities of
long been noted fer the cultivated and
critical quality of s neople in the fine
arts The influence of such tastes ever
refnes and ennobles the home.
Every phase of religious life is repre-
scented in Salt Lake city, with as complete
liberation as exists in any part OF the
world The great temple and tabernacle
are fitting emblems of the sacrifice,
fervor, industry and indomitable perse-
verance in religious convictions OF the
heroic band which crossed an almost I'M
known land, full of dangers, to establish
here IN mid desert their faith. Other de-
nominations, too, have here beautiful
and fitting monuments to their faith.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM OF SALT LAKE
is one of its recent marvels. 1t will take
precedence of many of the Oldest cities of
the land Its distinctive excellence lies
in the fact of its being founded on the
most advanced ideas of educational work /;
that system which, based on German
methods, has been modified to meet the
exigencies of this busy, practical west
ern hemisphere. The results al
ready attained are most fattering.

The bug-bear OF all governments, taxa
ton, falls with light touch upon the Salt
Lake property owner Not for a moment
is it to be supposed that this grants i'm
munity from grumbling and protests,
which are inseparable features OF taxa
ton in all times and all places. No city
in the west, however, and few cities in
the Union, have lower rate of taxation
than that laid by Salt Lake upon her
citizens.
That country offers the cheapest living
which gives the most for, not dollar,
but for days wages. By this standard
Salt Lake Will compare favOrably with
any part OF the United States. The cost
of transportation over a long, mountain
Gus and sparsely settled country neces-
sarily adds a percentage to the cost Of
commodities. Wages, however, are a
greater per cent. over those paid at the
board than are commodities above
those of the same locality.
1t is, however, to the homeseeker that
Salt Lake most especially appeals. The
American citizen who wishes to get the
maximum OF life's happiness from his la
Dor, finds in Salt Lake opportunities IN
equaled elsewhere. This picture is not g
fauciful one. Few come to Salt Lake to
establish a home who ever leave it.
So far as natures bounty and man 8
providence can provide, Salt Lake is an
ideal place for home. Those other eIe-
ments that alone can complete the ideal
home-love, kindness ana hope-must

for us, the natural resources were of such
varied and prolific character as to give
employment to wide range of talent.
The soil, the quarries, the mines, the
banks of clay, the mountain forests, the
lime rock, were all made subservient to
mans uses. As the necessities OF the
community were supplied and the wealth
of the city grew, there gradually devel-
oped a market for yet other materials of
the ground, SO that now asphaltum,
onyx and many other products alike I'M
known and unused in early days, have
acquired great value. Yet above all
other industries combined, in its impor-
lance, has been mining. The wealth
produced by the pick has moved the
wheels of our commerce and given to Salt
Lake its chief prosperity. Directly de-
pendent UP the mines are the shelters,
the large supply houses and the agricul-
tural community.
SALT LAKE IS THE CENTRE
of the mining activity OF Utah, and is the
mart for the general exchange of products
of mine and soil. Besides this, the city
has become the home of those who, hav-
ing attained opulence through discovery
of the precious ores, desire to pass the
rest of their days free from care midst
pleasant surroundings.

are of that kind which employs few men
instead of that enormous type in which
man degenerates into mere automa-
ton. Perhaps the largest OF all
our factories are the wooden mills,
the paper mill and the shoe factory.
Home industries of every kind have
been fostered and encouraged from the
days in which the first settlers came into
the territory. The cracker, candy.
pickle, box, bottling, chemical, silk,
collar, thing, and ouher small industries
in the aggregate give a vast amount OF
