A Unique Mode of Travel.

Under a $4,000 wager Geo.
Mcneil and ! H. Ellis, both of
Bountiful, Utah, expect to leave
for New York in specially con-
structed conveyances run by two
bears recently captured East OF
Bountiful
They made the attempt to go
few days ago, but one bear
wanted to start for SanFrancisco
so the teamsters decided to train
the animals little longer, or till
July 5th, after which they expect
to make the trip IN six months.
The Club Rooms at Salt Lake
will be the starting point. The
conveyance will carry literature
advertising Utah.

A Coed Time to Work

We hear very much of late
about the strin gency of money,
the sluggish demand for many of
our products, numbers of men
and women out OF employment,
especially iu~targe cities, etc, but
have we ever defined the true con-
dition of affairs from an unselhsh
and accomplishing point of view
to see jrst how bad or good
condition we are in.
Did II ever occur to you that
the town in which you live is the
best place in the world. 1t is
your home the place in which
you are building character. Your
family and quite likely the maj
orlty of your friends are there
Your successes and pleasures are
also gained and enjoved there,
and everyone in this vicinity are
doubtless enjoying more than
they probably appreciate.
On every hand there is evidence
of continued growth and pros
peritv. Crops never looked more
thrifty, indicative of a bounteous

: never looked better, dry farming
is rapidly developing to a solid
: and sure industry for this section,

{ can we but say; surely we are
successful.
1t is true that money is not sc
easily obtained as IT was two OF
three weary ago, but possible &
boon in disguise.
Speculation was the motive o
many and it needed checking
Booms were made a shammy
> business. Things had become
abnormal and a sitting was ne.
cessary as common result.
Now that things are calned
and adjustments have taken
place a more commend BILE spirit
c Duld not be exercised and nour-
ished than one of thrift, energy,
zeal and persistency in the mp
building of the town and the en-
couraging of good wholesome
and sane development.
1t has often been repeated that
any fool can make money. but 1t
takes a wise man to save it, SC
may it be said of men and com
munities in times of boom, any
one can succeed then. but the
place that keeps on growing
whether 4 boon is on or not is
the really successful community.
The thing to do and what our
people seem to be doing is to look
up, cheer up, and gaze at the
bright side OF things.
This is big world with any
amount of good things in it. II
we could but get out in the warm
sunshine of human kindness and
thaw out a little we would feel
better and enjoy the good things
of this life much more, and we
might add further, that now is
the time to make our home town
enterprising, and when working
for its institutions or speaking
well OF its affairs remember you
are accomplishing all the more
for yourself. Don't be foolish and
idle away valuable time predict
! ing failures and thereby decrease
the value of your property.
The world today can stand
more genuine encouragement
To Boost IS commendable, but
booms are not so good.
We welcome migration, we
encourage good people to come
and make their home here, and
feel they will find us cheerful and
looking to the bright side OF life,
