Tho curious lako which unfolds un-folds its bosom among your hills moistens moist-ens the desert, winds, and a salubrious air, fresh and full of the salt of life, (ills your lungs with health and heals the sick of all the world. The money centers of tbe east, ho said,; had full confidence in Salt Lako City since it had been taken charge of by the Americans. It had every advantage. advan-tage. "The hides of the herds," he continued, contin-ued, ':that graze in your valleys are turned into shoes, too, by your enterprising enter-prising manufacturers to clothe the feet of your people. The wool that grows on your ewes is woven into fabrics by your own wills and every necessity of man has been anticipated in the evolutions evolu-tions of nature, including all the minerals; min-erals; niountaius of iron, stratas of coal, seams of silver, fissures of gold, quarries of marble and building stone," |
