Mr.. Igleheart spoke OF the interest
OF the newspapers in the Commercial
club from its inception. He said this
was not due 70 philanthropic motives
alone, but TO the knowledge that every
thing which tended toward the up
building of Utah would help the news
papers and every other institution
which formed a component part Of the
commonwealth.
George NJ. Cannon discussed THE
City of Salt Lake. as follows:
City Of Salt Lake.
It seems TO me we should consider our
subject from three standDosnts the city

rapid but stable. Steadily she has be-
come prosperous business community

Her industries have steadily grown In
both size and number. Her mercantile
houses have conducted a satisfactory
business. Her banks have been a symbol
of all that is solid. No city OF the west
offers better inducements. To capital

The press should not be forgotten Salt
Lake City has reason TO be proud. not
alone of the number of her daily papers
and her magazines, but also of their en-

Goodwin, that Mr.. Mccormick never
