RAY RAYMOND'S REASONS
WHY THE DAY SHOULD BE MADE
TO BOOM.
Colorado People Are Already Heav-
lily Interested in Utah, and the
Two States Should BE Sisters in
Deed as In Name.



will also be strictly in it."
Never has Utah been in any way
overlooked in the continued shuf1ing
of the gayeties as they have been
Transcribed on the bulletin board For
the days and weeks to come. Our new
state is billed to come in with all her
feet and tread them measure in jolly
form.
1t is feat in no way hard to ac-
complish. We should all join in max
ing it a fete day.
The date set for Utah to get in and
shine Respondent among those thor
oughly up-to-date and broad gauge
people Of the Centennial state is Feb.
IA. Speed the day!
That is also Shriners' day for Colo
RADIO, Utah and the remaining part of
| the world. while the following day is
deliberately set aside for the Elks.
Noble they are, too!
SOME POINTERS.
On the reverse side of a neat tim
erary gotten out for the events of Sat
urday and yesterday is a few of the
! gratuftous pointers given the public:
| a thousand people could come to
Leadville and not be noticed, and
leave and not be missed. Give Lead
| vile a chance and she will take you
in.
Do not come to help Leadville; she
needs no mans help. But come to see
the most beautiful palace in the
world. Do not stay away because it
is in Leadville, and not in New York
! or Boston.
There are front parlors on the ground
floor, facing the toboggan slide, that
can be rented cheaper than an air
| chamber in the Brown Palace.
WARNING!-Some things come
higher in Leadville than elsewhere
the atmosphere, for instance.
NOTICE.-Bring your backing box
and brush along, for it costs Is cents
10 get a shine and it doesn't last long.
Bring your razor and strop, for it
costs two-bits to get your whiskers
pulled.
" gee! Come and tickle US with
your presence"
u now propose to get down to the
cold, unalloyed facts in the case, and
plainly vouchsafe information to
Utah public that will net them well if
they will drink it down as the tureen
is turned for them. It's this: Utah
owes it to herself to send whole train
load of typical Utonians over there to
properly keep up our end Of the string
on the day named for us-do you hear?
It's a bristling fact that confronts US,
and I take it that we are not a people
to run away from pleasant duties when
they devolve upon US. The time and
circumstances are ripe for US to get
in and drill, and the state press should
strongly urge our people to line up for
the great carnival, an enterprise west
ern to the very core, and replete with
health and fun at every turn-we are
all interested.
The railroads have done their part.
They have made a round trip rate of
S12, and it admits of stop-over at
Glenwood on the return trip, if de-
sired.
Now then! What we want to do, is
to get hump on US. How? That's a
juvenile question, and any boy could
answer it, I'll just drift back over the
flown years and be the boy, and listen!
Salt Lake, Ogden. Park City, Mercur.
Eureka, Provo and Springville should
all send delegations.
Especially should our great mining
districts send their people-the reason
is doubly apparent. In Leadville will
be met thousands of people all talking
mines, and they talk Colorado mines.
They talk what thew know. They
want information-now let US give it to
them. Let US have our mining men
there to tell them facts that will as
tonish them What's the matter with
Mercur? Or Park City? Or Eureka?
Or Bingham? And other Utah camps
-eh? Colorado will not be jealous Of
our mining wealth Rather will she be
: proud to learn of it.
Do you see the point?
Our mining exchange here might well
| vote sufficient funds from its treasury,
; and designate a full score of its mem
bers to go and represent it. It's a
point well taken-do you see it?
. Our chamber of commerce should
send delegation of our prominent
merchants over there-the time has
already come for our merchants to look
, about and get focus on an enlarged
commercial supremacy.
Why couldn't our city council send
representatives from among its num-
Der? They could, and they should. Salt
Lake should be in it on every turn.
The real estate men should send a
goodly delegation-don' forget it.
The Shriners should get together and
give them to know over there that
Utah boasts of that order as well.
Don't let US plead TOO DuSy-can'
go now" There are many hundreds
who can go, and the time is ripe. Don
cease to remember that Leadville peo-
pie have come here In NUMBERS year
after year, and that whole raft OF
them have bought property here. They
l don't buy real estate there. They re-
main only to do business and make
their pile-then what? Just this-they
then seek such places as Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs, Manitou or Salt Lake IN
which to live afterward. Why not
Salt Lake? Now, do you see the point
more plainly still? I g-u-e-s-s!
In short, let Utah do herself proud
nv seeing that she is represented in
T,eadville on Utah day. Already many
= monument citizens of the city have
2 eienified their intentions of going anc
i even Idaho has put in bid for
Pocatello delegation to come down ant
ioin Utah. We want them to, for WE
claim relationship with Idaho.
