reveal even more pleasant surprises. Tie new
buildings Of the residence districts .speal of the
progress being made. These buildings would not
be constructed wcre'it not for the influx OF people
from all parts of the land People making
their homes in Salt Lake because OF the work az
forded and the money which Is being put into cir
culation by those who have faith In her progress

CONFIDENCE ESSENTIAL.
Considering the amount OF good being done to
the people OF the city tho question may be asked,
rs Salt Lake doing all she can do for all sec
tions of the country?" This question is worthy Of
discussion 1t is matter of fact that in the past
too much attention has been given to individual
interests in Salt Lake. Tho fact that the sister
cities in the state tend to build up the capital has
been forgotten Boosting organizations have used
methods In favor of Salt Lake at the expense Of
the smaller towns and these have felt the dis
elimination.
The Merchants and Manufacturers association
has done much to overcome this feeling Every
boosting trip taken by this organization has as
sisted in giving confidence to Salt Lakes sister
cities In newspaper reports and in general affairs
better feelings would be evident If the smaller
cities Of the state given moro attention and
the fact held clearly that the capital is but one
part of resourceful Utah.
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
In the progression OF Salt Lake City, the Com
mercia club stands as a central figure. 1t is an
organization of strength and accomplishment Of
purpose. It's work in the past has been for Salt
Lake almost exclusively and yet much of the
membership is made up of outside people Viewing
this from an outside view point, it really appears
that this splendid organization could do more for
the progress of outside towns The suggestion that
the Salt Lake Commercial club join with like or
CARNATIONS of the state is II splendid and the
good to be derived for Utah would be hard to
estimate. a better feeling would be accomplished
between the leading lien Of the state \ better
understanding would be reached Salt Lake would
receive benefit from this accomplishment ana tns
~ possess q FACULTY of making cities progress.

no aid progress: II arbitrary rule could settle lhs
city, it would take but few moons before the
pace Of progression would be increased.
]. The same rules may be applied to the cond-
tons existing between salt Lake and the smaller
cities of the state, The success OF any Utah town
means much to the business affairs of the cap
ital Salt Lake is benefited by the growth of any
city. Sufficient reason may be found in this fact
to can forth the best Interests Of Salt Lake IN Do
nan of a better understanding between the cap
ital and hcr sister towns. United work is the
foferunner of the states advancement. No DIS
elimination Is due the smaller town. Unity OF Ell
forts is the secret of progress.
