Interest, and objtvtivea, and their Uvea to blended In the one great purpose for which they served that their greeting was generally, "Hello, Buddy." Ahl there is a world of meaning la those two words. They have power enough to win the affections of a bitter enemy. They put 1U feelings to flight In a hurry and seem to draw people more closely together in a desire to enjoy the contentment and happiness of living the laws of the UoUiea Rule. Could all people and even nations have consideration enough for their brother and fellow-ma- n to put out a dally "Hello, Buddy," It would go a long way toward reducing the possibility of another war to a minimum by creating a more harmonious affection one for another; at least, no one can say but that the human race will be Improved la a spiritual sense by putting this into their dally regime.

Instead of France owing large sums of money to the l ulled States and England, Is France's the United State debtor to the extent of almost one billion dollars and France has a right to collect more than aeveu billion dollars from England.

The Union Pacific System is one of Utah's oldest and largest institutions, and has had a very active part in the state's development Perhaps no single agency has given such an impetus to the state's prosperity as has the Union Pacific, America's first transcontinental railroad. . i 4 3 Today Utah is one of the great states of the west, with the world an accessible market for her products. The Union Pacific has developed its lines in Utah and elsewhere to provide adequate transportation. The Union Pacific System today operates more miles of track in Utah than any other railroad; it serves a greater area; pays more taxes; buys more materials and supplies from Utah manufacturers and producers; gives employment to more of Utah's citizens all of which in turn speeds the common prosperity. Below are some facts" and figures which illustrate how great a part the Union Pacific System plays in Utah's economic development: Annual Payroll In Utah $$,420,342 During the 12 months ended November 30, 1923, the Union Pacific System employed continually an average of 5,358 people in Utah and paid them $8,420,342. Taxes In Utah The annual tax bill of the Union Pacific System in Utah for 12 months to November 30, 1923, was $977,452. 5977,452 New lines In Utah Completed In 1923 Betterments and Improvements In Utah $2434,131 The Union Pacific is constantly adding to its lines in Utah and thus increasing its service. In 1923 it completed a new line of 32 miles from Delta to Fillmore, opening to more intensive development the Great Pahvant Valley; it built a new line of 33 miles from Lund to Cedar City to give access to Southern Utah's tourist 5attracmiles tions and valuable mineral deposits; a third line long was built from Park City to the Park Utah Mine. During 1923 the Union Pacific spent in Utah for betterments and improvements which do not directly produce revenue but which help maintain the recognized high standard of service $2,134,101. Of this sum $750,000 covered double tracking the main line from Emory to Echo. Supplies $1,911,51$ New Hotel at Cedar City $265,000 For. fuel, material and supplies purchased in Utah the amount expended was $1,911,516. A new hotel to accommodate travelers and tourists visiting Zion National Park and other scenic attractions of Utah has been built by the Union Pacific at cost of $265,000.00. This hotel will be in operation for the 1924 season.
