DEATH OF MIR. NORTH.

The news of the death Of Mr.. Jacob
MoritZ was genuine shock to this
community. Few were aware that he
was i'll, and the most of those who
knew that he was in Europe, supposed
he was there on pleasure trip.
Mr.. Moritz was an enterprising. push
ing, business man Of long residence in
this city. IL may truly be said that he
was the man who built up the business
of the Salt Lake Brewery from nothing
to its present huge proportions. His
business foresight was good, his en-
terprising mind took IN all the possi-
bilitics of the business TO which he de-
voted his Ific.
Mr.. Moritz IS life was nearly all spent
in this city. and all the time he has
been hustler. He was also genial,
kindly gentleman. He will be much
missed in Utah, His acquaintance was
very wide, and the threads of his bust
ness reached into almost every hamlet
in Utah and the surrounding States His
hosts of friends will grieve at his death,
and their heartfelt sorrow will go out in
full measure to The bercaved widow.

SALT LAKE ROUTE OPEN.

The Tribune earnestly conCratulates
ihe officials of tho Salt Lake Route
upon the rcopcning of their line from
this city to Los Angeles so soon after
the disastrous washout of last Deccm-
hcr, Their full train service goes INTO
effect again tomorrow, and This city
and all the intermediate country VIII
be immensely benefited thereby.
This short limo TO the coast has, ever
since its first opening, been one of the
great assets of Salt Lake City. We get
access TO the semi.tropical climate ana
products of southern California, and the
southern Californians get our products
and get access to our bracing climate
in a day, II is all very highly to the
advantage of both. and both have en-
.oyed it TO the full; this route S scrv-
ice has also been of inestimable bene'
iii TO all the region between this city
and the coast. that region having had
market opened TO il for its products
of every kind, from ores to fruits. IT is
a rich region along this Tine or road,
one affording ample business for the
carrier, and of corresponding advantage
TO the settlers on the line. both in city
and country.
The officials of the road deserve the
warmcst commendation in this connec
tion. They have been earnest. diligcnt
and generous in pushing the work of re-
construction after the discouraging
floods of last winter which washed out
l15 miles of their track. II was a heavy
problem they had to solve. but they
went at it with stout hearts and willing
minds The result is the reconstruction
of the destroyed part of the road aud
the opening of the full line in an al
most incredibly short space of time.
During the coolest part of the winter,
very little could be done even by way
OF preliminary work. But as soon as the
weather admitted of it, the work was
begun in earnest, and was pushed with
an energy and zeal that brought sur.
prising results. The track is ready
and tomorrow the full benefit can be
enjoyed by all. II is great achieve,
