FOR THE GREAT LAKE.
For Great salt lake. GOV Cutler had
a decided word of praise. In para
rranh descriptive of its beauties he ex-
pressed the hor.e that he would soon
sas PLEASURE craft upon it. and camping
parties seeking its islands. There Is
moi another such body of water as this

travelled the world over, you would
come back at last and say you had not
sen anything to compare with 1t
Nothing can equal the wonderful bath
ing the tnvigorating air; the changing
beauties. the glorious sunsets, which a
\ y.rson was once heard to remark are
almost as beautiful as those painted
by Iambourne and Gunner, AS a health
and pleasure resort and a mine of in
exhaustible wealth, 1t stands without
a rival And l look to see the time
when sanitariums will be built on its
shores and hotels on its islands; when
large craft, filed with pleasure seek
ers, will explore and visit every part
OF this inland sea. The possibilities OF
the Geat Salt lake are just beginning
to re appreciated

OF Utah and its prospects, he de-
clsred that they We're never so good
md were worthy of good name
The people here" he declared, have
worthy land TO live in. Dry and
barren and uninviting at first, II has
responded 10 the toll OF its people
like the desert rock TO the stroke of
Mosess rod. 1t has become as fer
tile as the watered plains of Egypt.
The fabulous mines Of Solomon sink
into insigniticance when compared
with ours Each year the cattle on
thousand hills pay kings ram
som Shelters and mills and factories
distribute millions OF dollars annually
among the workingmen of the state,
for the support and education of their
families. And these splendid condi-
tons have been brought about in
spite of the severest difficulties.
WhN do I rait 70 and
|Eain these self-evidnt facts? 1t Is
because I wish them spread as far
rs possible, in the hope that they
may reach each time they are re-
peated, a new place where lies and not

The fairest of all the AS, the very
stones would rise and say the things
would leave unsaid. The rocks
would shout them to the valleys; the
valleys TO the lakes and rivers; the
waters to the towering peaks. And
their echo from the cliffs would be a
rebuke to any citizen who. having an
opportunity TO say these things. leave
them unsaid.
We are proud of Utah. From it's
iarthest hamlet to its most populous
city our state is thing of beauty
and ioy forever" 1t is, to para
phrase the title of the Elks. THE
Best Place on Earth" And its peo-
We are as good as can be found under

AS TO SANDER.
This being admitted, would It not
be well for the citizens of the state
70 take up the slogan, Let Utah he
represented by its friends, not mis-
represented by its enemies?" For so
long MS cours of systematic SANDER
and abuse Of Utah and II citizens Is
pursued by certain penny-a-liners and
dsruntled politicians, Utah cannot
hope TO reach the proud position II is
Iendued 10 in the estimation of the
world You know. ladies and gentle
men what has given rise to this
abuse. You know how insncere its
