CONDITIONS GROW BETTER
~ c. ScHRAMM RETURNS FROM
EAST FULL OF OPTIMISM.

The best of feeling prevails in the
east toward the people of this section.
said F. c. Schramm. who has returned
from trip TO New York following the
conclave of the Shriners in st. Paul
Every one with whom ] talked had the
kindest word for Salt Lake. The i'm
preston is general that Salt Lakes
future is assured. and that this city will
be one Of the big centers of the coun-
try.
In New York, where I looked over
the stocks of fall goods, / found a re-
stored confidence that was surprising.
The people seem no longer to be afraid.
They will tell you that, oh, in Salt
Lake you weren't hit half as hard as
we were here
THE stiffening of the price of cop
per and the improvement In the metal
market generally, / was told in New
York. meant a permanent improvement,
and. in view of the fact that mines and
smelters are opening up again. l am
quite convinced that the New Workers
know what they are talking about.
Money was much easier when 1 was
there than II had been at any time,
practically. since the depression, and
this was taken as a wholesome sign.
But most of all was i impressed with
people have for the west and especially
for Salt Lake.
From a Republican Standpoint.
When you ask me about politics.
must say that my stay in New York
was of such brief duration that / did
not have really a fair opportunity of
feeling the public pulse Being ar Re-
publican myself. it may be that my i'm
pressions were that Taft had the better
of the gait. I took pains, however, TO
call their attention to the fact that they
must not make the mistake of underes-
timating Bryan's strength, and | told
them, as we'll, that 1t was my belief that
Bryan is a bigger. broader, stronger
man than he ever was before.
THE weather in New York was suf-
focatingly hot. II that is a good way 10
put IL. The humidity is so high thar
RI person keeps hopping and hopping
and never seems to make an impress
sion on the perspiration that rolls out
o. one. The only relief one finds is at
the beaches, but in the city it is a holy
terror. Why. today would be. called
nice day In New York. In Chicago the
heat was bad, too. but Chicago gets
little let up once in while in Its
breezes from the lake. But I'll tell you
right here. that the people of Salt Lake
don't know how well off they are.
Salt Lake Attracts Attention.
"Our delegation to the Shriners' con-
clave attracted attention on all sides.
The Ell Kalah patrol was cheered all
along the line and when the Utah men
came out in their full dress aud feZ at
night they were given another ovation.
In comparison of numbers. Utah had
quite the best representation in the cell
ebration.
The ST. Paul and Minneapolis tenn
Piles treated us royalty. There was
nothing too good for us. We were TAX
en- everywhere and saw everything.
The business meetings. too. were most
successful. Altogether 1t was fine
convention.
1.-THE trip TO st. Paul in our special
train was one Of the most enjoyable
u have ever made. There was a geniS1
company and not single incident arose
TO mar the pleasure of the occasion.
"But after II Is all over. / am glad to
be back in Salt Lake again and enjoy
the cool breezes and the delightful tenn
perature." (the thermometer was 81 at
the time) land to say again that IL they
had such day as this back in New
York-a day that you call hot-they
would call il a nice day"
