AFFIRMATIVE ANSWERS ONLY.
VIII Salt Lake keep on growing?
Yes. VIII real estate continue TO
advance? Yes VIII the wonderful
Industrial and commercial activity Of
our city keep its present momen-
tum? Yes.
Every year OF the past decade has
shown a gain on the preceding year?
II there has not been as much build
ing construction within the city limits
the past year as one could have wish
ed It has been due solely to the scar
city Of material and labor enter
ing into building. And yet the figures
show an increase over 1905 by million
and hale OF dollars,
The very prosperity the city is en-
Toying has in measure retarded
building. for the reason that all the
brick within the capacity of our local
plants were absorbed by the smelters
and rehnerics. while skilled labor has
found steady end remuneratlve work
IN the same direction In Salt Lake
brick forms the foundation Of all our
good construction. on the top Of this
came unheard Of advances in the price
Of lumber. bringing building TO the
highest cost ever known in Salt Lake
City Hardware, too. shared in ad-
vance IN price Yet even with un-
limited funds, and a disposition to
push construction at whatever cost,
the salt Laker found himself ham
pered by the Unprecedented condi-
ton of the labor and material market.
Houses for which plans were drawn n
year ago have In many Instances not
yet started. others have dragged and
halted.

yet TO comprehend all Of It's meaning?
But 90 to the men who are behind all
those projects, ana ask them what Will
be done for Salt Lake IN carrying out
the plans they already have IN hand.
and with no uncertain tones they VIII
tell you there is no better city to In
vest money in west Of Chicago,
WESTERN PACIFIC.
The Western Pacific is the latest and
greatest of our gifts, George Gould
does nothing by halves he never "lies
down" IN anything he begins. The
transcontlncntal railway has been the
pet of his fancy; st now lacks but some
eighteen months until he can ride IN
his private car over his own roads
from Atlantic to Pacific. even as Mr.
Hartman now does II enters virgin
country: 1t gives to Salt Lake as much
new tributary territory as She Ind al
together up TO the year 1890. Only as
we enjoy the fruits Of this vast enter
prise viii we appreciate IT, For let
it be frankly admitted, salt Lake lived
in untulhlled promise so many years
that she can now only realize her trl-
umphs when she actually tastes them
Two old Salt Lakers Bogue and Nc
CARNEY, nave in charge tho engineer
ing and construction OF the new great
road; and both, in their quiet unoh-
truslve way, say that no one city from
end to end Of the Western Pacific line
will benefit from the road as much as
Salt Lake.
TWO GREAT NEW DEPOTS.
The present year will be noted for
another very important action on the
part ~ the big railroad interests m
Salt Lake. and that IS the definite
steps taken IN the direction OF erecting
two union dcpots next season For
q decade almost this has been spoken
of, but Il has always been vaguely in
the future, Now uncertainties have
been swept away aud hope Is to be
turned INTO realization, and instead OF
