Mr.. Roberts came to this city from Mis-
souri, in 1854 and remained two years
when he went to California and engaged
in gold mining. In 1858 he returned to
Utah and on July of that year started
out TO carry the first weekly mail from
Salt Lake to California, at that time a
rather dangerous occupation which
necessitated being accompanied by half a
dozen sturdy guards.
At late date he in company
with Major Egan, George Chorpen-
ming and AL Huntingdon started
out with an interpreter to explore
the road to Gravely Fort on the Hum
boldt. He was afterwards appointed
division agent there, which position he
retained until the fort was broken up.
Mr.. Roberts then returned to Salt Lake
city and with Mr.. Bassett engaged in the
mercantile business under the firm name
of Bassett & Roberts. On the discovery
OF the mines of Sweetwater he went to
that part OF the country and met with
success as miner. After the Indian
outbreak there he came back to this
city and engaged in various business
enterprises finally drifting into the drug
Nelden he conducted successful bosiness
for years.
His wife, who died about year ago,
was Miss Emma Benson, daughter OF
Bishop Benson. His eldest son also died
recently. The doub bic bereavement affected
him greatly, and he never recovered from
the blow. He was highly respected by all
who knew him and it has been said that
he had not an enemy in the world, and
that drawer man never lived. In Mr..
Roberts good man has gone to his rest.

is due, displaying how and by whom our
resources have been developed until they
have become such prominent factors of
our prosperity, and beautiful city has
been built upon what was an arid waste.
1t will simply be statistical and histori-
cal business statement, showing our
growth and present unexcelled facilities
for the transaction of trade and commerce,
ard the eligibility of Salt Lake city as a
health resort or Mecca for the tourist
and traveller.
Territories, like persons, must either
advance or retrograde, and II we rest con-
tented with our efforts in the past we
shall surely lose ground in the strife for
progress with neighboring states. Dur
ing this period OF depression there has
never been better opportunity to present
the manifold advantages our city presents
to the capitalist, merchant, investor or
settler, and to elaborate the superior
status our city occupies, financially and
commercially. Many pamphlets have
been issued on these subjects, but they
were usually published in the interest of
some particular corporation or enterprise.
and hence were specific and not general in
their scope. The souvenir history will
EN- brace all the salient features OF Salt
Lake city and the adjacent country, and
will be most valuable incen-
tive to an examination of our
some demonstration of their utilization
| by our citizens; thus forming valuable
ssobject lesson' to those who are seeking
for the more available and beneficial in
vestment of capital, or for engaging in
more profitable commercial enterprises.
| In the furtherance OF this work we seek
| the aid of our citizens, as in helping US
they most effectively aid themselves, and
| by means of this souvenir and its large
distribution the attention OF people all
over the United States will be called to
the exceptional facilities, in numberless
ways, our city affords. This work will
be gratuitously distributed all over the
! United States, especial attention, how
ever, being given in its distribution to
make it more thorough in those places
accessible to our trade and commerce. In
the presen tation OF its manifold merits to
cur people by our canvassers, THE HER
AID bespeaks for them the courteous
attention of our citizens and to sug-
suggest to them that during time OF
unsettled conditions is the time to place
before the public our superior advantages
when everyone is prosperous, then the
prosperity begets satisfaction and utter
disinclination for change, but when every
financial and commercial corn is being
compressed by the tight boot of business
depression, alteration of the trouble car
be sought and successfully found in the
superior advantages of our city and state.

Bank Reserves the Largest in the West
Salt Lake City May Feel Proud.
More public Improvements under way
than in any other city OF its size. And
business in better condition $50 say the
travelling public. Salt Lake city's ex-
travagant councilmen may feel proud,
they are doing magnificent work, and
every business man in the city (whether
the city is carrying him for special taxes
or noD, should at least show his appre-
citation. We have been offered, consider
ing the times, an excellent price for our
bonds, and the bond buyers know the Sc
curity is gilt edge. They are simply talk
ing advantage Of the opportunity given
them by some OF our daily papers, there
fore they do not offer par.
More families are being supported
through the public works than in any
other city. More merchants are receiv-
ing the benefits than in any
other city. The impression given to
outsiders and capitalists is worth more to
the city than the total cost OF these mag
nificent improvements. Our water sys-
TEN alone, owned by the city, is worth
more than the amount Of our entire in
debtedness. The 5000, 600 expended in
public school buildings (the finest in the
west) is worth to the city ten times their
ccst.
Our street paving is credit to the city,
ard those who do not Mish to wade
through the winter mud, as heretofore,
should feel this time for conGratulation,
not kicking. Our city and county build
ing, at a cost of half a million dollars
our copper plant and its bonus, our
| gravity sewer and its contractors, are all
ornaments of the city. Last but not
least, our great sanitariEm in the heart
of the city, at a cost of $4,000 and sup
piled by water piped from our hot springs
of wonderful curative properties, will be
I-opened to the public in few days.
Taking all these things into considera-
fion East Waterloo lots at 500 per lot,
one half cash, gives you an opportunity
for profitable investment seldom offered.
East Waterloo is the most desirable
part of the city,
East Waterloo has many new and hand
some residences.
East Waterloo lots have cement walks
to car line.
East Waterloo has an excellent car SER
vice, Sc. fare.
East Waterloo lots at $3.50 per lot will
double in value in the next two years.
See for yourself and be convinced.

MIR. BURLEY RETURNS.
The Situation East Unchanged, but All
Are Hopeful

D. E. Burley is back from his trip to
Omaha. He says there was no special
significance in this trip, as it was simply
one of those he must make periodically.
He brings no retrenchment news further
than that which has already been given
out and says that so far as he knows no
additional changes will be made in the
Salt Lake office. Business, he says,
in both Omaha and Denver, is
very much more dull than it
is in Salt Lake, and in fact Kansas City is
the only place he has been to that shows
nearly an equal amount of energy and
thrift. There is more hopeful outlook,
as it is the general impression that the
bottom has been reached.
