Tho history of Tooele, like that of
nearly all of the intermountaln locali-
ties, was settled and begun under
Mormon supervision, in fact under the
direct guidance OF that stalwart plo-
necr, Brigham Young. "Tooelc" Is the
Indian name for "bullrush." and was
adopted In accordance with general
inclination throughout America TO
mcmorauSe old Indian tradition and life
In the activities OF the new world
Real estate values in Tooele like
those of most of the cities in the inter
mountain region, arc within reach of
all, but this state of affairs is not apt
to continue for any great length of time
on account of tho demand which the
hundreds of new people who have
moved into that region, create. New
structures have gone up. business
houses, as well as homes. TO such an
extent that Tooele Is now considered
one OF the largest and most important
of Utah's- towns. improvements havo
been made In every direction: new bus
mess blocks have been completed, and
the city In every respect has taken
upon Itself cosmopolitan ar.
Among the many things worthy OF
notice In Tooele today Is the fact
that the fruit industry there is felt to
have many phases of exceptional ad
vantage. In this particular district ap-
pies, peaches and prunes are all easy
TO raise. and although the locality has
as yet received no great impetus ii is
thought that the near future has many
surprising things in store. The soil
about Toocle Is of such a texture that
almost any product raised In the In
tcrmediatc zone may be produced with
success. The coming OF the great smell

largement of the gardening and agrI-
cultural industries In general Tor al

eggs. garden products, and various
other staples used about the home
greatly exceeds the supply. There Is.
therefore, at Tooele an almost unprcce-
dented opportunity for the young farm

In this district peaches of the finest
variety are produced with an excellence

unexcelled in the inter-mountaln re-

Much of the successful farming about |
Tooele is the resultant of that marvel. |
GUS system of irrigation which was in |
stituted by Brigham Young in early |
pioneer days. Like many other cities |
IN the intermountain region. Tooele has |
had marvellous advancement under |
this wondroCs system, and today, il It |
is carried to Its fullest extent, hun |
dreds of the present population will |
find In this thriving city an opportunity |
which has been for years their dream |
In every sense of tho word, Tooele Is |
n most delightful city in which to make |
a home. Its schools rank among the \
very best In tho state. Its municipal |
government is directed by men of influ-
ence and power. and the general cllma-
tic conditions are of such a nature that
little Is left to be desired. With con-
servative growth tnerc Is little doubt |
that Tooelc during the coming year
Will manifest an even greater activity !
and even greater advancement than 1t |
has during the past summer and au-
tumn. This being so, no city In the In
termounta1n region presents such op-
portunitles to the farmer and tho small
investor. Situated as it is, near to Salt
Lake CITY. containing as 1t does hun
dreds of men who devote their time at !
the great smclter. ii affords a lack OF |
agricultural competition which is al |
most without comparison In this re-
gion. One cannot do better than to IN.
vestigate thoroughly. by n personal WIS.,
II or otherwise, this wondrous smelter
city.
