/ l$fl This synopsis by Mr.. Harris Of the
work accoinpli shed by the Con1merc
club UNDERSTANDS rather than exag-
gerates what has been done. When
the efforts of the represen tatives from
Utah succeeded in securing the promise
of the next annual encamprnentEo of the
! Grand Army OF the Republic, it was
the Commercial club that unhesitating-
i " qua anteed the money that would be
\ needed and thus secured the ratifica-

the Young Mems Christian association
was In financial distress, this club
came to It's rescue and as o. result, In

citizens. s;if
Two hundred and fifty thousand dol-i
lars have been subscribed and paid by
the club members for the erection OF
the club building. This shows the /

This is a. great year for Salt Lake
state Of Utah. a II over the city the
sleep of the sluggard Is 3rudely dis
turbed by the hammer and the saw Of
the artisan. Upon every business street
new and magnificent buildings are be-
ling reared. Upon every residence
block beautiful dwellings, are being
built. Everywhere the arts Of the land
5beautify the surroundings. Millions are
being expended by the railroads, for 1t
+ is conceded that this Is a great natural
transportation center. Millions are be-
ing expended by individuals.
s Hundreds of thousands VIII call this
their abiding place. There will be
more farms and fewer desert places.
There Will be moro mines and smelt-
gers and more factories and shops Bet
/ ter than all. there Will be reared here a
race of men and women who will be
the very flower. OF the citizenship Of
the republic The desert Is hard to
conquer; but when It surrenders its
fertility brings surprise. 1t is q. fact OF
history that the arid regions have ever
produced men ana women OF the most
perfect type. Ages ago this arid land |
was the home Of an ancient civilization
of d type higher than that OF any OF 4
the forgotten races of men, and 1t Is to
become the home of men and women |
animated 1.-THE very highest ideals Of
patriotic purposes. r.
S5s No man can more than dream of the |
future geatlless ofsthis nation. The /
mai.veIs7 of the past century will be as
nothing when compared with the dis |
tcoveries of the century that is to come.
Though man has taken to himself the |
wings OF the bird ard has hitched his |
car to the flash OF the lightning, that
which he will yet accomplish is not
even yet dreamed by the widest en-
.thusiast. Man has not reached the PIN
,nacle OF his power. That point will l
never be attained. for, as eternity has
no beginning and no end SO man will
newer uncover all the secrets of nature
or of life. Upon land and upon sea, in
mechanics, III art, in learning and In
wisdom this nation Is to rule the world,
and In the unfolding OF the future the +
people of the arid west will do their
part Let us put behind us the things
that are hateful Let US bury forever
all elimination and recriminatfon. Let
us perform the work at hand Let lis
conquer the desert and enslave the
mountains and help Utah to come into
her own: 81
