We have been heralded," he said,
"as a party of Chicago boosters, but
you will find that before we are
through We are the best bunch OF
boosters for Salt Lake that she has ever
had. We are going away from Salt
Lake pledged to say all the nice things
possible about Salt Lake. and there is
no limit TO the possibilities. We have
seen your city, marveled at its beauty
and admired its progressiveness. We
cannot tell you how much We have en-
joyed your hospitality. We want 10 re-
ciprocate by doing all the good we can
FOR you, and if our little trip brings Us
into a closer friendship and to closer
relations we are repaid. We are going
to boost for the west in a way that will
surprise. You couldn't hire men to Go
you one-half as much good as we win
DO for you

The history Of Salt Lake City's pro-
gress. from its founding to the present
time, is a fascinating study and in
tensely interesting" he said The pio-
neers who invaded this valley mad no
precedent in history. Hitherto invad-
inE hosts have found a garden and left
il a wilderness. The founders of your
city found this valley a wilderness ana
left it garden.
To-day when I gazed on your wide
streets. your beautiful boulevards and
shaded parks, and on your magnificent
temple. I marvelled at the wonderful
foresight and the artistic acUmen of
your progenitors Salt Lakes begin
ming was ideal. The foundation for the
building OF a great city is Of the best.
Its present progress indicates that Salt
Lakes future as one OF America :
greatest and most beautiful cities Is u
certainty"
After the talks the guests bade their
hosts hurried farewells and were taken
in automobiles to the Oregon Short
Line depot, whence they left in their
special train on the journey downward.
The visit to Salt Lake was one Of the
pleasant stops Of 5.600-mile journey
taken by the Chicago people. In every
city the members of the party were
royalty entertained. and whether the
statement that the people of Salt LAKE
were the most hospitable hosts that the
members of the party had is as true
as similar statements made at every
previous stop and waiting to be made al
every subsequent stop, can only be con-

idea Of the trip was not to obtain bust
ness of any kind upon the trip, but 20
cement by acquaintance and good fell
lowship the commercial relations of the
northwest and west and Chicago.
Yesterday morning. when the speciai
arrived I'm salt Lake City. twenty-rOur
cities had been visited; the irrigation
country of Montana. Washington, ore
gOn and Idaho had been seen. The
mines Of Butte had been inspected, the
salmon fisheries of Puget Sound
brought up their prizes for the edifica-
ton of the Chicago men, the wheat
fields of Walla Walla were extolled by
enthusiastic residents of that section,
in fact. every conceivable industry OF
the west had been placed before the
Chicago visitors.
In the itinerary of the trip Salt Lake
City had been placed as the show city
Of the tour. But when the special ler:
for ogden at o'clock last evening the
Chicago men carried with them the i'm
preston that salt Lake City is the
scene of a commercial and Industrial

and supposing that for a day at least
we would be away from city that was
pushing forward But we were agree

has not been telling the rest of the
country about the progress il has been
making. But everywhere we saw signs
that were unmistakable The new build

of these buildings, means to US THAI
salt Lake is doing more than keeping
up with the rapid pace OF progress Sc
by other western cities. We enjoyed
the sights, the cordial hospitality or
Salt Lakes citizens, and hope that our
trip here will mean a closer relation
ship between the two cities.
Chicago has need of Salt Lake, and
salt Lake has need of Chicago. We

cities work together for the good Of
each other"
