Did you hear whistle just now
and do you hear a bell ringing D.?
That was the whistle on the great
new locomotive Progress. and Il is
her bell that is ringing.
They mean that a new time table
has been adopted and II you do not
hurry you will not get aboard
II Is a most magnificent train that
the new locomotive is hauling.
IL has last years increased values
on board and is on the way TO make a
display of them to the world.
What are they =? Why. you must be
a stranger. A gold increase over 1904
of s2,000.000; silver increase of
100000; copper increase OF s2,.
100000; mercury increase OF SI4,.
900. This in the metal line. But
there is plenty more, In sugar, in wool,
In livestock, and 100000 In the in
creased value OF real estate in Salt
Lake City.
There is another difference in this
last item. A year ago the values
were latent-people were dreaming
of an unearned increment-now the
values are active and the man who
puts of a purchase until tomorrow
will pay more than he would have to
pay to-day.
That Is, the boom is on. That is
what this train with the Locomotive
Progress attached TO II means.
And If you do not get aboard your
children, ten years hence. will be
telling OF the mistake you made.
Because you must know that the ad-
