Has Done Much for Salt Lake.
The trip has thus far made much for
Zion. II has made much for the fu.
ture. Idahoans like Salt Lakers They
hold they are their kind of people,
know what is what and are ready to
boost. Not only ready, but they are
doing so, and if the present trip does
not do Salt Lake business houses thou

not the fault OF the Boosters.
The praises Of Zion have been sung
from daylight until dark and from dark
until daylight. and Idahoans have ca
pitulated. From now on Zion will get
the business from Idaho Southern
Idaho, Central Idaho and as far west
as Weiser, for the latter city has
warm spot for the business men Of Salt
Lake. And why should they mott
Idaho and Utah7 VIII they work to-
gether' Well, ] should say yes. Ida
hoans are not like Missourians, they
don { have to be shown They see for
themselves, Salt Lake from n trade
standpoint is their mecca and there the
pilgrims will journey to purchase their
wares. Freight rates are in favor Of
jobbers of Zion and OF Idaho points.
Portland Made Tour.
Two weeks ago Portland jobberg
made tour Of Idaho. They were on
a pleasure excursion, True, Boards Of
Trade, Commercial Clubs and Mayors
and citizens turned out to welcome
them. Few of the webfooted fellows
got out from the cars. Idaho towns
did not look good TO them.
Next week Omaha business men will
invade this territory. They will sing
the songs and sound the praises of the
city on the big muddy across the stream
which marks the end of the Union Pa
ci6c railroad, but Idahoans will not
listen TO the song of the Omaha siren.
Zion is good enough for Idahoans. The
week following Denver business men
will come to Idaho. Residents of Col
orado are boomers; they are boosters;
they know how to talk, how to enter.
tain. They will Sing about Denver,
and Denver is good, but 1T is not Zion,
Denver business men waste time com
ing to Idaho This Is not their field,
They cannot get in. In the classic
language of the baseball man the 'sllde
Denver slide won I go in Idaho.
Salt Lake in the Swim.
The gem State has cast her LOT with
Utah and Salt Lake and the merchants
of Zion have so TO speak, got the world
by the tail. We are in the swim. We

business talk by business men of Zion
who have spent eight days in mission
work. which has been fruitful.
