Show iJ. E. KEAEKS' VISIT. A Prominent Minnesotan May Cast His Lot In Utah Again. James E. K earns, formerly a reci-dent reci-dent of rark'City, arrived in Salt Lake ihe other day from St. Paul, to siend the winter with his brother, Hon Thomas Reams. His brother thinks I Utah is all right, and he would be pleased to have Jami remain here, which, he may conclude to do. In- an interview" the other day, Mr. Kcari's, the-visitor. -said: "I tome from one of the greatest wh.-at countries in the world, included within northwestern Minnesota and the two Ukotys. Irrigation is not thought cf in that territory, for there are plenty of rains, and then in winter time the ground freezes so deeply that the moisture mois-ture is a long time coming up and out in the spring, and that keeps the surface sur-face moist and fertile. Duiuth, the head of lake navigation, is becoming one of the greatest shipping points in the Union, and cargoes are not only re-sbippod re-sbippod to all the great lake points and New York, via the Erie canal, but to Atlantic seaboard points by the ocean route through the St. Lawrence river. The shipping interests have all they can attend to with the rush of constantly con-stantly increasing business. The Northwest North-west country is well provided with railroads, and with ample lake shipping ship-ping facilities, that part of the Uniited States cannot be called very slow." |
