THE ORGANIZATION HAS AT LAST
BEEN PERFECTED.
An Address, Setting Forth the Oh

CIearings-The Real Estate Trans
fePs.

AS result of many preliminary
meetings, the Utah state bureau of in
formation and promotion has at last
been fully organized and will shortly
open headquarters in this city.
The following address put out yes
terday gives the objects of the organ
ization, together with the officers:
Let us be known by our deeds"
The officers and directors Of the Utah
state bureau of information and pro-
motion beg to announce through the
columns of your valuable paper that
the organization is complete.
Our aim is lofty and inspired. Ne
ceSSity is the mother of invention
1t was through necessity that this
bureau was created.
From all parts of the world letters
of inquiry are constantly being re-
ceived by the secretary Of state and
private firms, appertaining to the vari-
Gus industries of Utah, but neither the
archives of the state nor these firms
can furnish the much-coveted informa-
ton To supply this long-felt want,
the Utah state bureau of information
and promotion was founded.
To the people, we say there is
grand and glorious future for Utah.
Let US not lose our enthusiasm; let US
introduce an agitation which appeals
to reason and argument; which Will
stir the heart of every true Utahnian
with figures of arithmetic rather than
figures of speech. We have within our
boundaries nearly everything the
world is known to produce. OF the SO
counties in the state there is not one
without important interests awaiting
development. Each is bound to all, for
the success of one means the success

done right, or at least insufficiently.
The resources of the entire state must
he advertised. It is not enough to go
before the farmers and get one and
another TO whom We sell small strip
of irrigated land. MOI We must sweep
a wider circle. Instead of farmers
scattered here and there, we want
to till the vast fields, until every one
is under cultivation. This will bring
ealth to our communities and good
ly fund into the county treasures.
In five years, trainloads of fruits and
every product of our soil viii be sent
broadcast into our sister states The
railroads Will branch out and assume
greater activity; freight rates will be
lowered, and instead of being known
only for our potatoes, the state will be
known for the choicest of everything.
What applies to our orchards, farms
and fields, applies to our mines and
other industries. Millions upon mil
lions of hidden treasure lie waiting in
our mountains and hills for capital
and labor to develop them. The world
does not know it, for if il did, eager
hands would come and dig for them.
Many branches of manufacturing in
dustries which can find no material to
work with in other states would well
come the opportunity to start here at
our bidding. We want them; we need
them; we can get them.
The phenomenal resources of our
state cannot be exaggerated. They be-
long to US; they are ours to develop.
The secret of success in life is to be
ready for the opportunity when it
comes. The opportunity is at hand.
We must all go forward and do our
will repay US in after life with q
usury of profit beyond our most san
guine dreams" Through cooperation,
Utah has already accomplished good
results. Let us now unite as one solid
answering body, and forge to the
front
