INDtdRIAL SITUATION IN THE TNrERaIoUNTAlN WEST
Prsed BY the Oregon Short Line
i OF whea and potatoes of beets and tomatoes,
i OF bailey, of oats, and of rye
! We forward tonnage, without counting dunnage
i Whlc runs into totals sky high.
The products Of dairy and orchard carry,
4 And attic and sheep from the range;
4 We mlna ore and sme bullion in tons by the million
! Quarry stone and burn brick for change
We havs bees making honey, which runs into money
And mills grinding wheat into -four
We ha mountains snowcrowned whence the dow
Bringing life giving moisture and power.
We takf salt from the lake We have clay which bake
j In o pipe, which sell far and near
There's thick wool Sheep and soils rich and deep
| We raise three crops of hay in a year.
We put up condensed milk. We have Utah-grown silk;
And we're making cement that
We make harness and plaster; burn lime like master,
And make wagon and tents
We make mattresses here and spring beds it's clear
That at nghtfall folks take rest.
We make butter and cheese and peaches and peas
And make catsup that ranks with the best.
We dig coal and do cokng and for those who choking
With dust when the gets dry
Bottle mineral waters for the thirst of daughters
And beer too, boys hows that for high?
While you might think it risky also make whisky
With stills shipped from good old 'Kaintuck''
And before prohibition change the condition
Let's raise glass, fellows. Here's luck!
Our beet sugar makngs giant undertaking,
Nine factories ship all through the world.
We're putting candy the boys say is dandy,
For it makes great hit with girl.
Crude oil we're refining, while folks do the mining,
Or pumping, perhaps should say,
From the wells they've been digging, equppng and rigging
At Spring Valey-few miles away.
In our "Dixie" there's cotton Now THAT'S not so rotten;
Did you spose raised things of that kind?
W. ,1,r ,Jc Iried frY+'c
And much else that can't call to mind
We have fodres and packers; make biscuits and crackers
Dried beans; and fat horses and hogs
Of resources no limit-and say wait minute!
We make ice and cut lumber and logs.
True out here at present, it's not overpleasant
To railroad, but let recall
Although SOME of our jobbers insist robbers,
They're not the whole State, after all.
Now our folks who PRODUCE haven't very much use
For a quarrel unless theirs reason,
And reducing rate from some faraway state
They're would assist them this season.
For of imported stuff therell be always enough
Make market for all our production
And we'll always have tin" for the things SHIP IN
So it's OUT BOUND want the reductions.
For the things we SHIP OUT make bank account stout
Not the things that purchase and import,
And we don't care to cry if the IN tariffs high
What is low tariffs for EAPORI.
When the railroads reduce things PRODUCE
That assists in reaching market,
But low rates that apply on the things that we BUY
Help the SHIPPER; not us, KINDLY MARK it.
Seems thes somewhere hitch BUYS himself rich,
But he makes himself rich by producing,
And just follow our tip Watch the things that SHIP,
Not the things that BUY, when reducing
We make pickles and soap, and still more things we hope
We may add to this engthenng list
We maks shoes We maks boots We knit swell union SUITS
Also shawls Of the best insist
We make stout overals, and we make Christmas calls,
And we'd like to calling on you,
But to those far away there's just this we can say
Come out West and be prosperous
To EMPLOYEES THE LINE
COURTESY COSTS NOTHING AND YIELDS LARGE
