Show PROMINENT OUTSIDERS VISIT THE UINTA BASIN "The Greates Amount of Rich and Diversified Resources A New Country Was Ever Blessed With." J. B. Maling and E. A. Manker, of Steamboat Springs, and W. B. Martin of Salt Lake City, came up from Myton Wednesday with Geo. H. Mulvey Yesterday they were shown some of the Strawberry elatcrite Veins. Today, on their return re-turn trip, they inspect one of the state's finest agricultural tracts-the widely famed Blue bench. Mr. Maling has his headquarters at Steamboat Springs and .will de-Vole de-Vole his time between that point and Salt Lake. He was formerly of Chicago and represents the interests inter-ests of a number of prominent capitalists of that city who are J turning their attention to the northwestern north-western field of investment, especially espec-ially that portion along the Moffat route. Two years ago Mr. Maling accompanied the Moffat road officials of-ficials from Steamboat as far as Vernal. He was so favorably impressed im-pressed with his first trip into the country that he has just now satis-fiied satis-fiied a desira to cover the whole, or at least the larger portion of, the great Uinta basin. Mr. Mank er has recently disposed dispos-ed of his- interests in the First Na- tional Batik of Steamboat Springs. He is also prominently identified with in real estate and cattle raising rais-ing of Routt county .The gentleman is on the lookout for something attractive in the way of investment in the basin and it is not among the improbabilities that he will become identified with this section. Mr. Martin is a prominent crt A-ist A-ist of Salt Lake and for some tim has been devoting a great deal of attention to the possibilities of mineral rubber. All of thesh gentlemen see a great future ahead for the Reservation. "I never saw a new country with so Many rich and diversified resources," said Mr. Maling to the Record. "And how it will fill up with people when the railroad reaches here. The climate, the seasons, the soil and the, water, will cause one of the greatest land rashes any section of the west has ever experienced. Yes, indead, the Reservation Reser-vation will fill up with . homeskers like the pouring of water into a basin Every man that stays with his quarter section will see his land go up to a hundred dollars an- acre.- In my opinion opin-ion that time is not far dittant. "Most ne' countries," continued the speaker, are more or less an experiment ex-periment There is nothing uncertain about the outcome of the Uinta basin. The tests have already been made. .The pibaeers of the Ashley valley have demonstrated what can be done on the Reservation. The homesteader knows absdutehBthat with water on his farm he is assured of abundant crops and long enough seasons to mature the best paying kind of produce. "The settlers here have the brightest future before them- than in any new country I-ever saw, and they should remember that those farmers in such places as Kahsa3 and Oklahoma who f are today living; in i.'.ansions and riding p around in their ?utos', never had in their pioneer life such an outlook as the ?eservi!ion seUler.-" |
