INTO THE TREASURY OF UTAH

EDWARD H. HARTMAN estate has Just paid into

ward of industry; of thrift, and of GROWTH The
Hartman lines own and operate fewer than 900 miles
of railway in this state At the time the single line
of the Union Pacific constructed from border to
border it is questionable if the entire business of the
company throughout all Utah within twevemOnth
would yield much as this single reward now paid
freely and without protest.
DESCRIBING and recounting the various enter
prses that have gone to make this vast reward possible
is not necessary. Irrigation projects such as tne
Pute canal and reservoir, which has reclaimed home
sites for two thousand families the opening of mines
the building of great reduction works the estab
lishment of smeterS, employing thousands of home
builders and tenants, and the great business blocks
recently finished in Salt Lake City have caused within
the State of Utah, growth of wealth almost unprece
dented in the annals of time in fit proportion and ratio
to this unprecedented reward.
A REWARD awaits you. As the Union Pacific

They Like Liberal

The Hutchinson Daily News OF
last Wednesday had the following
to say regarding Liberal and the
bond propositions: IF the plans
of Liberal people carry, the pres
ent water system which is made
quate will be extended so as to
take care of the necessities of that
community. There is to be an
election July 6 for the purpose of
voting water works bonds to the
amount of $50, 900, to be used in
the extension of the present sys-
tenn. And the good workers there
are interested in having these
bonds voted. Liberal, probably
more than most any other South
western or western Kansas city,
is going to the front. 1t has a
good class of people boosting it
and the Rock Island railroad is
one of the big features of this
latest development. But city Of
the size of Liberal must have lar
ger and more extensive facilities
for water and other public services
to make its future assured. This
is why every effort is being made
now to vote the bonds
1t is told that the bonds have al
ready been sold, providing they
are voted at $l.06. This is an I'M
usually good proposition and
shows particularly good manage
ment of the city's affairs.
Hutchinson wants, Liberal to
prosper, for she is q neighbor.
And she wants to see all of that
portion of Kansas do well, by
building larger and by making
such towns more comfortable
places to live.
The extension of city improve
ments, such as additional water
service, is one of the things that
bring about this growth"
