The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-01-25

the past are behind us; but behind US
also are our achievements, and we may ,
look back over the years that nave IN
tervened since the organization OF TINS
chamber in 1887, and be filled with sat
isfaction at the progress we have made
Since then the city'S growth has been
phenomenal, and it's credit has oeen
maintained upon high plane of excel
lence. Looking toward the future
see naught to discourage us; Salt Lake
is no longer an experiment, IL has
passed the point in population and
wealth where there is danger of retreat;
it is in the midst of an empire filed with
ImOSt wonderful resources, developed
and undeve.oped; it Is the halfway
house on the journey across re c1nti-
nent. Here travellers stop to resi-, and
view our historical wonders and scenic
grandeur. We possess that marvel, the
Grsat Salt Lake. The city is equipped
with every modern convenience and
comfort 1t will soon receive another
of natures benefactions in the shape of
fuel from the earth's reservoir, upon
which occasion celebration should oc-
cur here which will attract national at
tention. Railroads now resting at the
eastern base of the Rockies, must in
the near future reach us with their iron
parallels. Local conditions which have
| .ong retarded our growth have been
swept away. We have a climate in
comparable, SCENERY unrivalled, and are
! soon to enter the Union as a sovereign
state, when the prejudice OF capital viii
| be removed. and we shall enjoy a
steady increase in population and
wealth.
! With all these blessings, why may We
not turn our eyes to the future with
satisfaction. and cherish the hope that
here in this valley is to be built one of
the great cities on the great highway
