Looking to the West.
''Tn my stay in Chicago Of course |
was among the railroad men most OF
the time On all sides I heard many
things said about the west s the OBJ.
lective point of the railroads. For
instance, in talking to Santa fe
railroad official he said to me that his
road is interested in Utah business to
the extent that. 1T might become necess,,
sary TO build into the state as the oil
industry of the southeastern part of
the state is beginning to demand at
tention His words bear out the gen
eral talked Of need Of immediate ac-
tion on the part of our state TO get
into that territory from the north and
that without delay if the business Of
that section is to be held for Utah.
Gas TO general mercantile business
and manufactures, l found that sat
sfactory conditions prevail in the sec
tions I visited and that there is no
general we'll directed movement to
change locations. Let me say that the
work of the Commercial club of Salt
Lake will be to develop the agricul-
tural districts of the state Factories
and mercantile interests will locate
where there is a demand for their
products and it is our part now, be-
ieve, to bring the population Of the
state up TO a podnt where 1t VIII be
a natural inducement for factories and
the like TO come here. What Utah
needs, ] believe. more than any other
thing, is more people to till the soil.

of state development league now
under way. 1t should secure to the
state better results for the time and
money spent in advertising our re-
sources. With all the commercial or

we certainly can See Utah grow
Changes in Nebraska
Mr.. johnson attention was called

most progressive citizens came from
Nebraska, his former home. and he
was asked as to the progress in the de-
vclopment of the Tree Planters y
state He said in reply; Gone cannot
come to realize in a short stay Of the
wonderful changes in that state that
have taken place in the last ten years.
Naturally, Nebraska is an agricultural
state and most of the development has
been along those lines. Farming is a
science there. No matter how large
or small the farm. the same careful
system prevails and the farmer is re-
ceiving more than ever before the cor
rect returns for his labors in the way
of production. The state is represented
in the new settlers in the western
states, mainly Idaho. and they carry
with them the knowledge of farming
gained an their former localities. For
that reason the western states receiv-
ing settlers from Nebraska are sure
of class OF citizens that spells prog.
ress and development. / hope to see
many Of the Nebraska farmers coming
to Utah.
"I make trips east from time to
time and the gradual change of senti-
ment is noticeable Utah will without
doubt begin to feel the effects of this
change by receiving more than her
share of the constantly changing pop
ulation among the best class of citi-
zens in the country
