money outside e. pay for what It could
produce az home enrichcs The outsid,
producer and rcmains IN poverty.
For example, the money value OF
vegetables grown aad consumed In
Utah remains here In the hands Of the
people OF the state, but money paid Tor
vegetables grown ia California and
consumed In Utah. goes To California
and helps 10 Increase the wealth OF
that state
So with every other commodity and
yet Utah people with their eyes open
import from other states and foreign
countries great quantities Of fresh and
canned vegetable. scini-tropical fruits,
canned and dried fruits. Cantaloupcs,
cherries, berries raisins. peanuts,
walnuts. prunes. figs, Wine, brandy.

WHY SEND ELSEWHERE?
Loads Of money-enough 10 half build

every day % pay for the above imports.
every one Of which ought to be ana
could be produced at home.
They can be grown or manufactured
here az cheaply as anywhere In the
world, and by producing them profit
ablY, employment would be furnished
the thousands Of men and women OF
the state who are now IDLE for half the
year.
II II wonderful that money is scarce
ana so hard 10 get hold of while there
is such a steady stream of IL going
out OF the state by every train?
Is IL strange that we hear talk of
hard times, or that 40 many sober mon
are compelled 10 subsist on l5 cents
worth OF coffee and doughnuts a day?
II cannot be denied that a large per-
centage OF Utah people are poor IN
purse nor doubted that they viii re- !
main so as long as we continue buying /
from other states and countries articles /
OF prime necessity and luxury that can !
be produced at home, and by the peo- /
pie OF the state.
EARLY FRUITS.
Not unlikely many will ask where in
Utah such things as very early yege-
tables and fruits which come In during |
the winter from the Imperial valley.
raisins. cotton, almonds. sugar cane,
iron and steel can be produced
The answer is that In the broad
country between the san Pedro rail
road and the Colorado river. a region OF
most diverse resources, all the COM
modities mentioned and q hundred 9TH
ers, can be produced, and those that
are 10 be eaten can be produced as /
early as In the Imperial valley or any :
other part Of California

held counties and In the Arizona strip
north Of the Grand canyon. is to be
round practically every desirable eli /
mate that can be found anywhere in
the world
All the conditions favoring the pro-
duction OF every useful thing We import
are present In that favored region
RICH SOIL.
Soil as rich as in any country: cli-
mate uneXCelled for temperate zone
and tropical agriculture and horticul-
ture; iron ore OF the first class In in
exhaustible quantities, with coal TO

supplying more and cheaper fuel than
Utah has ever consumed fuel oil ter
ritory as rich perhaps as any In Texas |
or California; grazing lands extensive |
enough to accommodate all the stock
