is a mark of intelligence on the part of her
people and qualification to those who
have stood sponsor for her assured Repub-
icanism in future, which happily is now
the present.
'tAll these facts convince conservative
minds that the immediate industrial fu.
ture of Utah is brighter than that of any
other Western State. Her resources, great
and varied as they are, are destined to an
early and vigorous development, and these
will be followed by the introduction of
many manufactures of which she is quali-
fed by the existence of resources ard by
the presence OF population that will war
rant the undertakings
az am satisfied also that the new State
will note a rapid and a great growth in
population, which will extend to the agri-
cultural classes as we'll as to mining and
to skilled la Dor in the many rnanufactur-
ing industries that are destined to be in
augurated in the near future. 1t must not
be thought that Utah is exhausted agri-
culturally. She has several great canals
that are in course for construction and
which will increase the agricultural area
materially, while the field for the intro
duction of capital into other irrigation
systems than those already begun or in
contemp plation has hardly been ap-
preached, much less exhausted.
Utah is filled with valleys and the cities
nestle along the base of the mountain
ranges that hem in these beautiful valleys.
Out of the gorges and canyon defiles that
lead into the valley from the mountain
Businesses are innumerable streams. All
these are being harnessed and utilized for
the generation of electrical currents that
will furnish power and so minimize the
cost of manufacture and the supplying of
motive power. Besides, Utah has linn itless
coal fields, so that the power must be

in region that has coal at its very door.
''On the widely extending knowledge of
these facts, and numberless others that are
in line with them, the people of our new
State are looking forward to a stead y
though rapid growth, which will result in
an era of development and prosperity the
like of which we believe has never been
known in the West.
