The Treasure in the Hills.

When man first trod the new-made earth
Whose plastic clay had given him birth,
Dame Nature started ~ i'm fear
I To find despOiling hands so near
She hurried stealthily and still.
And hid her treasures in the hill,
\ hill that peaks far upward sent
In undiscovered continent
She thought man would cross the vale,
Her lonely treasure house would scale.
Then time rolled on. There came a race
That lived and died and left no trace
! Then came the red man, and but felt
The spot. where Mother Nature knelt-
Then came the white man from the east,
In mind the greatest strength the least
And all that Nature had concealed.
Beneath his touch became revealed.
He brought the grain. the tramp of hoOf;
He reared the shelter of a roof
( He built his home upon the earth,
And ogden bIOssOmed into birth
And thus are born such homes as these,
( The product Of necessities.
It was the need of mighty mart
! That made ChiCagO's pulses start
Each found treasure all its own
One hidden in decaying stone,
The other in the shining rail
And in the caTKO-laden sail
Each recognized the others needs, ,.
And. with that knowledge, sowed the seeds
OF that great future Of the race,
Awaiting only time and place.

Views of Visitors.
Perhaps one of the cIearest statements
of just what the purpose of this trip is
was made by Frank Hibbard. fourth vice
president Of the firm of Hibbard, Spen-
He said in the course of an interview:
One of our great aims is to find out just
where Chicago is being Disseminated
against in the way of railroad rates, etc.
To this point particular attention has
been paid and where there appears to
be discrimination. all the influence that
the association can bring to bear will be
exercised to remedy the condition. Our
prime purpose OF course IS TO come into
close personal contact with the business
men of the west, so that they may know
with Just whom they are dealing in the
future. Then have headquarters in
the Great Northern building, Chicago,
where visiting merchants from any Fart
of the country can find every accOmmO-
dalton and convenience. He may obtain
catalogues of dealers business pointers
etc He will feel that ne is among

ISOLATION.
Best Conditions in Decade.
From my observations since leaving
Chicago, this part of the country is eX-
perienclng the most prosperous period
that ii has in ten years. While in the
east labor conditions may be a little IN
settled. here the mills and factories are
too busy filling orders. too busy tending
to their knitting. TO give room for such
complications Everywhere we note what
the railroads are doing for the country
Here in Utah great benefits are going
to be reaped.
