a.
ereelion of snch plant at salt Lake City
three domons,ra,ions must DO made.
First-That salt Lake City was con-

surfing reasonable cost for the wholesome
and necessary articles OF tho table, were

The largest populaiion conferred at ono

tered because of It's attractions as n
home, gave promise OF plenty OF stable,
reliable labor at reasonable compensa-
were therefore favorable.
Second-A reasonable price Of fuel

ces on that woro giycn.
Third-lieasonablo and indlscrimina-
tive freight rates must be secured.
The matte and richer ores of souihwest-
ern Colorado, OF Montana, of Idaho, OF
