THE AGE OF STEAM.

For half. century steam held I'M
disputed sway in the commercial world
as the most potent factor in industrial
progress and the development of new
country. A mightier power has been
introduced The age of steam is pass
ing.
Yet how important has been the part
of aeam in the great achievements of
the last half century.
There are men now living who were
grown and married when the total
railroad mileage in the whole United
States was no more than the total mile
age in Utah today
The east and west, the north and
south. are bound together by steel
bands. Distances have been obliter-
ated, difficulties dispelled and a growth
pourished by the railway systems of
the country that no land ever wit
messed before.
Utah has been benefited in many
ways The present wealth, importance
and advancement of the state is due
in large measure to the railroads.
Great systems converge here. The
Union Pacific, from the Missouri river;
the Short Line, from Portland and
Butte; the Southern Pacific, from San
francisco; the Rio Grande Western,
from Colorado and the east: then there
are branch roads and lines within the
state, while the Utah & Pacific is being
pushed toward Los Angeles, and the
Burlington is headed this way and pur-
chasing land in this city.
The steam locomotive and the rail-
way have done a mighty work in the
development of the west and are des-
tined toe play a still more prominenr.
Part hereafter in the upbuilding of this
state.

for with good crops the prices of farm
products have been unusually low, still
they have created a fair share Of the
wealth added TO the state during the
year. They have made up in abundance
what they failed to realize in sales.
Utah has this advantage of many of
the older and Weather states of the
east We do not depend upon asricul-
ture altogether, nor upon mining alto
gether. When the fertile valleys yield
to cultivation and irrigation, and the
mines pour riches from their horns of
plenty. and the stock upon the ranges
thrive and fatten, it is reasonable to
say that prosperity is with US. Let US
all pull together for betterment OF
our good times.

But here the needle plies its busy task,
The pattern grows. the well depicted

And CURING tendrils gracefully disposed,

UTAH is ALL RIGHT.

While the panics have been shaking
the wealth centers of the east. there
have been no financial failures to speak
of in Utah during the past year. On
the contrary the state has been unusu-
ally prosperous-not as a result of the
artificial prosperity with which the
east has been tickled. but with genu-
inc. material prosperity which has
drawn capital to the state and has I'M

That all my kin have gone.

WHO ride tonight with thee?"
THE days of grief, the days of joy,
Are they who ride with me-
God keep thee merry little man;
Go whisper them that mourn
How surely comes again the day
When Christ the Lord was born.
And be not sad. my little man.
But when thou. too, art old
And DER the wintry wastes you come,
A weary man and cold,
Right cheerily, l pray thee. then
To keep this gracious tryst,
And leave thy weary burden here
Where cares grow light, with Christ
Now bid thy gallant company
Ride onward without fear.
For /. the King of Christmas.
Have blessed the glad New Year.

There is very little mystery In Titian's
life and practical unanimity as to his art
He was the most finished embodiment of
the sensuous aspect of the developed rem
aissance of Italy. He was also, on account
of his life of 80 years, a living history of
Venetian painting in its whole period of
bloom. He witnessed both the dawn and
the decline of the golden age of the rem
aissance.
Titian's surroundings made him what he
was Before his day Venetian art had not
come into line with other Italian schools
The cold, diplomatic, mercantile Venetians
had loved the gorgeous side of the ancient
art Of the Byzantine empire; they had not
felt the religious emotions that accom-
panied and made possible the GiottesQue
art of the rest Of Italy. Superb color and
lack of inner life characterized their
school of painting until the middle of the
fifteenth century, only generation before
Titian's birth. 1t was then that the Bel
lini family imported into Venice some of
the results of the study Of the antique, of
the science of perspective and of the hu-
man form and character, that had been
transforming the Tuscan school of the
early renaissance. Still, even under Bel
lini, the Venetian school maintained a dis
tinct individuality, due to the character of
the people and the atmosphere of the la
