Excursion.
ADVISE FUTURE JOURNEYS
SUCCESS OF PLAN GUARANTEES
SIMILAR PMGRIMAGES.

The boosters are home. after hay
ing visited thirty-six towns and adj
dressed 10000 people.
Boisterously boosting everything
bcostable, the boosters boosted
throughout Utah, registering an IN
OF Allied success in each of the places
visited, and ending with the Logan
celebration as q grand climax 1t was
the first party Of organized official
boosters that ever went out of Salt
Lake, and the Commercial club mem-
bers, under whose auspices the trip
was made, are immensely tickied over
the results. That trade viii be brought
TO Salt Lake which Salt Lake never
had before seems foregone oonclu-
sion, and that a spirit OF commercial
fraternity at last has been aroused
from one side of Utah to the other is
the assertion Of each member who
went on the spellbinding pilgrimage
Only once did the boosters train
pass through home" while on the
Journey. That was Thursday, when q
few business men who couldn't posi-
bly, afford to be away from their Of
fees and stores any longer, dropped
out But news of the progress being
made had reached home town ears
and there were two men ready to take
the place of every one who quit, when
LAlC OUT again.
Many Orators Discovered.
Salt Lake need not lack for i'm
promptu orators after this for mary,
many moons. Citizens who never
dreamed they could make q speech
ano of whom such an accomplishment
was deemed mpossible-broke the
fettered bonds Of passivity and burst
into ferY0red eloQuence time and
again It became so much the Gus
tom for some of them to say, ''Mr.
Chairman and gentlemen" or Fellow
citizens Of the great commonwealth Of
Utah." that some of them are reported
having gone TO bed chanting those
words last night.
Salt Lake will have toastmasters
right on the spot for any sort of ban
quet that may happen hereafter, for
this boosting journey. when they were
pressed into platform service whether
they would or no, has had great re-
suits on behalf Of the cause OF ora
tory. --s.-
of course" said one of the re-
turned boosters last night, I'VE don't
expect to lay a dollar down In one
place and pick up two close by es q
result Of this trip about the state.
There are no unreasonable expecta-
tons. no f1atulent hopes But the gen-
eral result must be considered as Ger
TAIN: Ira0e mere and elsewhere about
Utah will be benefited"
That there win be more booster ex-
cursions Is the positive statement. The
Commercial club may send out an
other In the fall before the state fair;
