creased enthusiasm at these meetings.
THE irrigation congresses are doing
great work for the development of the
west
Il wish that the east would come
fully to understand the resources of
and possibilities of this western coun-
try.
More fasteners should come out
here and go back and let the east
know what the west is.
THE opportunities here are wonder
full.
The young man could not do better
than come out here and grow up with
the country.
Possibilities of Future.
Il wish could have been longer In Salt
Lake City. In Ogden ] noted the great
sOlidity of the business center and the at
tractive residence section.
Il was surprised at the development
and cleanliness of that CITY
1t has been my good fortune to visit
Salt Lake City several times. The first
time was twenty-five years ago during
my law practice. The last time was when
l opened the campaign here in 1904 at the
II never saw a more cultured and en-
thusiastic audience
mo city has shown a more marked de
velopment toward becoming in all respects
a model home city
Il think we have not yet begun to ap-
preciate the marvellous possibilities of the
development of irrigation in your western
country. Utah is showing some of the
wonderful beneficial effects of il and
when irrigation is developed to its high
est efficiency it will vastly increase OPP
portunities and the wealth of the people
and support a largely increased and pro-
gressive population"
When the Fire Came.
Just then car rs caught fire again some
where near American Fork. The vice pres
ident surveyed the landscape. In the fore
ground was field of sunflOWerS. Back
of that were some rows of green weeds
with a couple of chimneys sticking up
among them. In the background was the
Wasatch range utterly barren, gray and
fOrsaken. The vice president asked an il
telligent question::
Are those mountains public lands?"
There was a slight pause
Say something about sugar beets, said
Mr. Glove the official chaperon.
There was a whispered conference and
the vice president continued his dictation.
Il am led to note the advance of the
beet sugar industry ] saw at Lehi-I saw

Call 1t Lehi" said Postmaster Glove.
g. the pioneer American beet sugar
machinery.
Power of American Machinery.
1T used to be said that American ma
chinery could not be made of a high
grade in the United States. This factory
has proved what all know. which is that
American machinery can be made to meet
every necessity in the development of this
cCuntry's wonderful and growing indus
tries.
There is no good reason why these
fertile VALLEYS of Utah should not pro-
present production and why factories
such as these should not spring up in
the future sufficient to convert all the
sugar beets Utah can produce into
merchantable commodity sufficient to
meet local domestic necessities, with
surplus for shipment to less favored Com
munities elsewhere in our own country.
MY various trips have convinced me
more and more of the possibilities of
this young state in the ways of trade
and commerce and in the development OF
an orderly and patriotic citizenship"
Something About Mines.
Say something about the Mines" sug-
gested the Provo postmaster.
When 1 was here in 1900 the mining
industry was in a discouraging condi-
ton, but I am glad to see there has
been a tremendous revival. in fact
very remarkable development which is !
understand, taking place in the mineral
regions of this state"
Another whispered conference took
place between Mr.. Shoots representative
and the vice president.
IT understand. Furthermore, that this
development is being made by local cap
ital and that 1t is not a mere specu-
lative matter"
The following and subsequent is ad-
vertised as the first and only Fairbanks
joke.
A Fairbanks Joke.
Sometimes mines because of their IN
human value are developed and some
times the public is mined
(Ha, ha-" said Postmaster Clove)
Ct don't know whether 1 ought to say
that" said the vice president, depre-
catingly9
c,Ah. let it CO." said Postmaster
This matter is not the case with the
Another whispered conference.
For Future Generations.
at is gratifying to note that the recla-
nation work meets with the hearty ap-
proval of the citizens of Utah. Its ben
effts viii be not merely for the present
but will be Of increasing Importance for
the generations that come after us
When he mentioned the mining industry
of the west Mr.. Glove interrupted:
That doesn't sound like your friend,
Golfers Weekly"
That publication having been recently
rather scathing on Presidential Candidate
Fairbanks the conversation naturally
turned toward ellison Gardeners article.
Mr.. Fairbanks said he had never replied
to the article. that it was first shown him
by the governor of Indiana, who agreed
with him that no reply was necessary.
Mr. Fairbanks said
"A lie must die. You have only to wait
for it to do and cannot hasten its
DEATH
Matters of History.
He told his companion that the log cab
in birthplace. the existence of which Mr.
Gardeners article disputed, really did ex-
list. And from that point led the discus
sion between them to pioneers.
MY people" he said. were pioneers
as were those of you gentlemen in Utah. "
Incidentally he attributed the Golfers
article not to Mr.. Gardner. whose name
was signed to it, but to an Indiana news
paper man VINO had been at one time
closely associated TO him.
Bearer Of Messages.
This evening in Provo Mr.. Glove said
that ne was the bearer of "a particular
message from Senator Smoot to Vice
President Fairbanks. but that he was not
at liberty to give out either the message
or the vice presidents answer. He said
that Senator Smoot had been called out
of town. and deputized him to do the err
rand Senator SmOot. who had been TAX
ing a trip across Utah lake during the
