Show TRUTH - CHATTER. (Being the personal opinions of the writer, and for which no one else is in any manner responsible.) The following is taken from a very recent issue of the Butte and is reproduced in its entirety: Our valuable Salt Lake exchanges have been singing a beautiful and inspiring song of praise of the great Inter-Mountai- n, 7 ic conscience as the real thing. Our do in the future as they have done unregenerate Mormon contemporary n the past whistle for the station, declares for Mr. Tuttle that he does et off a few; tourists who come here not wish to seem in any way a knocker, but he says facts are facts, and there is no way of getting around them. In his best judgment there is no real improvement in the real estate market railroads, or no railroads. If course, he remarked, there are more or less sales right along, but no movement indicating any marked change for the better. The sales are mostly small, and cut no great figure. The trouble is that real estate is so high that coupled with high cost cf labor and materials, securing adequate return from money invested in any kind of realty is very uncertain. A man buys a lot in the business part of the city and puts up a business block. The chances are that he finds the investment comes so high that he can get only a very small return on his money. And even after a large business block is up and filled, what is to support the tenants? There are no manufacturers, no extended agricultural interests to back up a large commercial population. Of course, there are the mines and the livestock interests of the region which are valuable in themselves. But they are not enough to support the business community that Salt Lake is aiming to business boom that has struck that town with the advent of the good old summer days. The Tribune, the Herald and the Telegram, and the minor Sweetheart, Blanche and Tray, have all been frisking gaily because of these glorious good times. It was all and the world rejoiced ( glad tidings with our rejoicing contemporaries to think that salvation was at last in sight for Salt Lake. But now cometh along a Salt Lake real estate man with candor and honesty enough to say there is nothing in it; and, furthermore, that that sort of thing is all wrong, and is really doing the town damage. Moreover the Deseret News, the unregenerate organ of the degenerate Mormons, is honest enough to print what this gentleman says in the interest of the truth of history. The real estate man is S. B. Tuttle, and it apepars that everybody 'knows and respects him. Therefore, what he says sinks deep into the pub-- be.
