UTAH TO the FRONT.
The financial progress which Utah
has made since the development Of hei
resources began has been good. When
her isolation aud utter poverty durins
the early years OF her settlement are
considered, her finanolal record be-
comes more than good; 4, h splendid.

Of the Territory was bampefed by con
diilons that kept onterprising men
