Show MR CARPENTER OP OMAHA Yesterday TlC Herald received a pleasant call from Mr Isaac W Carpenter Car-penter one of Omahas leading businessmen I business-men en route for the Pacific coast Mr I Carpenter In addition to being connect h 1 f cd with business interests in Omaha is a < 30 closely identified with the enterprise enter-prise known as the TransMississippi 1 and International Exposition to be held in Omaha in 1S9S and incidentally Mr I Carpenter in his journey to the coast is creating public opinion favorable to the said exposition He warns us that he is but the forerunner of many that are to follow in the interest of this enterprise en-terprise for Omahas business men have determined upon making the exposition ex-position a success The call to join the movement comes at rather an inopportune inoppor-tune time for Utah since we have the new burdens of statehood just thrown upon us and in addition to that we are contemplating a grand semicentennial I i InterMountain Exposition for the state I i of Utah during the summer of 1S97 to I commemorate the advent of the Utah pioneers into Salt Lake valley and just how far this may exhaust our ability to indulge in the exposition business we cannot say but this much we do venture to say I after a full consideration of the question by an interchange in-terchange of thought the states this side the Mississippi conclude that it will be a good thing to hold the proposed pro-posed TransMississippi Exposition Utah will be in it with her neighbors as her public spirit and love of enterprise enter-prise will not permit her in such an affair af-fair to be conspicuous by her absence And when I comes to a showdown cf products Utah is in i both as to variety va-riety and abundance and our interests no less than our pride would demand that we make known our resources that a just share of the home makers coming com-ing to the west may be induced to settle set-tle in the peaceful and mountain shadowed valleys of Utah The Herald wishes you well Mr Carpenter Car-penter and may the Lord be good to you |
