Salt Lake is today looking over the
events of the past week and wonder
ing what has been the profit thereof. ).
officials of the Salt Lake road have
their note books out figuring the cost
of two special trains hauled a dis
tance of 1900 miles and seeking to put
in columns their future profits; the
last of the Angelenos, travel-stained
and pleasure worn, will return to their
home city this morning and they, too,
will have discussed times changes for
the better in their own city.
The Salt Lake excursion is over. It's
events written in the pages of history
of the development of the west have
no counterpart in the past and can
have no repetition in the future.
These two great and growing cities
of Salt Lake and Los Angeles will soon
be too large and thriving to spare
their men of business-those who make
the wheels of each city's industries
move, even for a week. Loss Angeles
at the present time is not far from
that period in its development.
Again, uncertain as the future is, it
is not probable that the conditions
which made possible last weeks ex-
odus Of $50 Los Angeles pilgrims to
the sacred city of the Mormons will
again arise.
Events of Week Make History
With no fear of cont ADDICTION it may
be said that the events of last week
We're history making for both cities
and stand unique as such.
1t is true that during the opening
days of May 176 citizens of Salt Lake
visited Los Angeles under similar cir
cumstances, but the results were not
the same.
They visited the city's industries,
San Pedro harbor the pleasure resorts;
they marveled at the possibilities, the
permanent growth of this portion of
the state and they went home feeling
that they had had good time. Incl
dentially, these 176 men learned to
know each other, individually and col
lectively better than ever before. This
was something. While these men
probably recognized the opportunities
OF the south land. they realized also
that they have a great question to
cope with at home, which is to take all
their energy.
Few came here to invest, all came
for pleasure.
The visit of the Salt Lakers to Los
Angeles was an incident in the life of
the convention city, Its return by $50
Angelenos was an epoch in Salt Lakes
history. But to that later.
AngeIenos Learned Much
After all travel is the great educator.
Angelenos have heard Senator w. A.
Clark several times paint with oratori-'
cal eloquenee the possibilities that lie
at its back door and have heard the
real estate agents gloat over the DOS
sibilities of what is now in store for the
harbor Of San Pedro. The one has
mines and railroad demanding trafie
and the others have land to sell. Be
hind the talk Of both Angelenos thought
perhaps there was an over-enthusiasm
or a "nigger in the wood pile"
The trip Of the week just past con-
vinced $50 hard-headed Angelenos with
their hands on their pocketbooks that
neither was the case. Their journey led
them through region, much of which
Is now known as the Nevada and Utah
Hsserts. Strange to say, they found
