other end of the line promises to estsb-

the two cities which is sure TO result in

While the territory being developed
by the salt Lake road promises to be
the field of considerable commercial
rivalry between the terminal cities.
both communities ought to profit
enough from the opportunities newly
created to satisfy them: and the terri
tory opened up will benefit immeasur-
ably by the competition which will

Los Angeles has some things Salt
Lake needs. and Salt Lake can prob

very short notice, and it is almost un-

and this year, the choice of weather
probably was in our favor. though no
Californian would ever admit it.
Beyond these factors, however. the
establishment of cordial relations is the
most important thing. and this excur-
sion may be depended upon to effect
that desirable end in such way as to
enable the two communities to work
together for their mutual advantage a
every line. Such union of effort as
should follow would bring about the
settlement and development of a great
mining and agricultural region in what
has hitherto been an almost unknown
land: it should establish cities in the
waste places, produce millions from
barren hills and enrich both the cities
interested beyond the dreams of the
men who have had the courage to build
a highway through the desert and unite
the valleys of the mountains with the
gardens of the Land of Sunshine.
Even if the result could not be fore
seen as between the visitors and their
hosts. it Is good for the business men

its leisure and freedom from care
