| Show OUR OWN INTERESTS Making Money in Utah and Spending it in St Paul AN UNLOOKED FOB EFFECT lIed Estate and Other Notes Buii ness lilts The Coming Celebration Celebra-tion General I I Mr R W Sloan manager of the Salt Lake Daily HERALD and a Mormon brn and bred Is in Minneapolis He was interviewed yesterday and said he thought Utah does not make as good a showing as her contribution to the wealth of the United States entitles her Utah has produced in her mining experience expe-rience over 100000000 in gold and sil I ver and in the main fell that is to be found in Utah is just what actually had to be spent there for supplies This is not the case m Colorado Out of the wealth of her mines Denver has become one of the growing cities of the country With us the money ha been sent on as fast as it was made The mines were owned by persons not residents of the Territory The Ryan House in St Paul is tangible proof Ryan was poor enough for a time in Utah but the Horn Silver mine made him and others rich and he brought part of his wealth to St Paul II But interposed another is this condition not due to the attitude of the Mormons who were opposed to mining and who would therefore render it unsafe un-safe for persons making money out of nims to invent this money 11 Utah There are those who would say yes to this It may be that persons who have MADE MONEY OUT Oi OUR MINES have feared to put it back into Utah but I cannot believe it How could a mfiii consistently claim he was afraid toput his money into a country that eut ei had made him rich or where all hs interests were already staked Moreover Mormons have not opposed mining not in my knowledge brt the statejmanihip of Brigham Young taught that agriculture WtS at the root of permanent prosperity and he used his great influence to kei p the Mormon people at that occupation We have almost even mineral except ex-cept tin i aud we have them in such immense im-mense quantIties that they are practically practi-cally

I wear was grown in Utah But with all these advantages why has not Salt Like Citygrown more rap idly It is my opinion because there has been an incessant warfaie waged in Utah which has made many people afraid of their lives and of their money in our Territory Today een man persons visiting Salt Lake City for the first time expect at once to be able to distinguish Mormons by some deform i y or peculiarity xvhicn they have juie by reading to odievu was a part of them What hope I have you inquired he Tnbuie reporter ot doing more in I tile future than In tile past The conditions answered Mr Sloan are altogether changed save among a few individuals who are never happy unless fighting the warfare has topped It has stopped in my judgment judg-ment because of a general desire to build up Utfii and get rich Our busi iCEs men pull together There has been railed by popular subscnptioi frOm Gentiles ann Mormons bstweei 15000 ana 20 000 to advertise Utah You do not mean to say put in a gentleman who spoke now for the first time that the fight on polygamy has topped I do not said the gentleman But I do sav that the fight while for effect ostensibly aganst polygamy has really been aimed more at the alleged union of church and State in Utah My own opinion is that by the recent relaxation in the bitterness here oforeexistmg there will be A NEW AND UNLOOKED FOR EFFECT I think I can see it even now Heretofore Hereto-fore there have been two parties in Utah Gentile and Mormon the former controlling rolling all the United States government govern-ment patronage the latter all the local offices in the gift of the people Last February just before tne municipal ell c ion the Mormon political Icadtr offered to put four Gentiles on their ticket and elect them assigning as a reason for this offer that the city was on the eve of extensive internal I uiproveneats and as the Gentiles were heavy taxpayers they should have a representation in the municipal body Many Gentiles bitterly opposed the movement but the Tribune the most pronounced antiMormon organ favored accepting the tender It was supported also by tho paper with whici I am concernedthe organ of the Peo pcs partyand the men were eJected and today are members of the body Lhis was a pronounced departure for he Gentiles were elected not on the Peoples ticket as it had on previous elections been called but out of courtesy cour-tesy to the Gentiles it was named The Citizens Ticket Since then Ive seen a gradual tendency among both Mormons Mor-mons and Gentiles to break away from the old local fighting organizations and take sides on national issues Quite a number of Mormons attended tne late Democratic convention in Utah at I which deegies were chosen to the St Louis convention and though by what I I deem unjustifiatle means they were excluded frrni participating in the cn vention is an evidence of the present tendency among the Mormon people to join the national parties and let their old organization lapse This however is purely suppositional Do you expect toe Mormon leaders to recant polygamy I do not Then doyou think it will continue to be upheld or what will become of it I can only say that I never hear it preached that 1 have heard men checkedfor preaching it and that I do not know of any case of polygamy po-lygamy occurring now though there may be but I feel the tendency among many of the young is away from it And why is this so Because of contact with those who revile it and because of a growing desire for pecuniary advantage among them With the influx of such an element the wilht of sentiment adverse to thi feature may be expected to grow more pronounced and 1 can see as a Mor mono that this together with the silence of the church on the subject must tell in the long rnnSt Paul Tribune THE COMING FOURTH Arrangements for celebrating the glorious Fourth are being rapidly completed com-pleted and owing to the generous manner man-ner in which the public has contributed and the general interest taken in the matt r by all classes of citizens there H little doubt but that the coming cele orition will be the most successful ever hold here The management of it has bi en placed in capable hands The committee on invitation have extended cordial invitations to Ogden and Provo to join with Salt Lake in the celebration celebra-tion and it is hoped that they will accent ac-cent Colonel Blount the commandant at Fort Douglas will detail the battery three companies of infantry and tile regimental band to take part in the parade A NEW PROJECT A HERALD reporter while in search of mental pabulum yesterday afternoon after-noon wandered into the office of St George Young Cothe Colorado h adquartersand there met D J sworth Henry Apple R B Allen aud M K Lewis the latter gentleman iom Hastings Nebraska and the I tuer three from Denver They were sitting with their heads together deeply engaged in one of the biggest schemes that has been agitated in Salt Lake for some time Tnese gentlemen propose to move the Great bait Lake to this city This peihars sounds rather large but nevertheless they will accomplish he deed On being interrogated as to the means by which this was to be accomplished ac-complished they gave a synopsis of heir method which is about as Ilows A noninortisting pipe will be laid from the lake to the city and after bringing the water here they will attach service pipes as needed extending to every residence in the city having a bath thus furnishing the rare priviege of a bath in the Salt Lake at any hour or any season of tho year fhey also propose to erect in the open centre of some convenient block a Dimming and plunge bath 100 feet quaro the same to be lined with white juing and supplied with warm water in winter The Lake was visited yesterday yes-terday and some preliminary steps were L ken toward perfecting lie arrangements arrange-ments The greater portion of the right of way has already been offered t ism and the probabilities now are that a few weeks more will see actual work begun It is proposed to use the Uolley system of bringing the water from the Lase the system so succrss Inv operated in the city waterworks of Dnver These gentlemen represent half a million dollars each and mean Iminess Tney do not lack funds to I cirry out their brilliant plans but a I stock company will probably be organ zed in which event some of our citizens citi-zens desiring an investment will be given a chance The investment of capital m Salt Lake is sure to yield rich returns and more of this energy and enterprise is what is needed to make this the grand city whirh it is destined to be By the way these gentlemen have already invested 75000 in Salt Lake realty purchasing from St George Young and they say they see every advantage here for making this the largest city in the west NOTES QUITK a number of Iowa people are v sump Salt Lake They are all highly pleased with the city THE work of transforming the
