KIND WORDS FOR ZION

question was settled yesterday at
high noon at the luncheon given by the
members of the Salt Lake Real Estate
association to the members of the re-
atty board of Los Angeles and the real
estate men representing Riverside,
Long Beach, san Bernardino and tn
other cities in the immediate vicinity
of the southern terminus of the Salt
Lake Route.
At the luncheon ties of friendship
and business relations were cemented
that viii prove in time to be Of great
value 10 all the communities repre-
sented. The pleasing feature, and the
one of deepest significance to the resi-
dents OF Salt Lake. is the high opinion
formed of Salt Lake and her environs
by the visitors; the open and enthu-
siastiC expression Of this opinion; the
determination of far-seeing business
men among the visitors to Join their
fortunes TO those Of the men who en-
teTtained them.
The luncheon proper, served in the
annex to the dining room. was enjoyed
by company that crowded the room
TO the limit. Thomas Homer, president
of the local organization. presided. and
gramme many oratorical bouquets were
hurled back and forth, many sensible
things We're said

sires to sell at twice what he paid
for it.

Mr. Hack said, ~and the city looked
good 10 me- 1 bought 100000 worth
of property l paid for it, and I have
the money with which to improve the

to sell at any price

enthusiastic applause 1t was taken as
proof that the men from Los Angeles
who are purchasing real estate i'm the

lation, but that they have faith in the
future of the city and viii help build
