eastern people corno come hero here the first thing they ask Is why with oil all ot of your natural wealth supply of 0 mineral ot of all kinds including coal and natural algas gas why you a shop hop or factory of thornly answer Is our railroad I 1 facilities ac lIttles aro are limited ani and they theado do not dot give us a reasonable rate on oil anything shipped in or out of the city what has tho the U P R IL done fo tor r salt liko lake city nothing except advertise it as a great show card and haul tho the sight beers lo in they have bare not encouraged manufactories manu factories or furnished anything like 1110 the necessary facilities aties tor for handling bandl iniz the ores that could bo be shipped and ih when hen they do haul it aitto to denver or omaha our city council should not hesitate a moment or consider a few property holders or any corporation but do what Is best for the city and the community with the building of this road with the development of the natural gas which I 1 believe a company Is already organized to lo develop would be of more value to this ity than all coal mines factories and other enterprises this city hasto has today to day natural gas and railroads will build a larger manufacturing fac turing city than anything else in any part of the united states state and when it cc I 1 ties to considering the value of the franchise irani frani

city Co council aro are to be influenced by a tow few property holders and roen men who never put a dollar into any enter enterprise that would not bogort any one but you cannot expect outside capitalists to invest every business man and citizen ot of this city and community should boult go nil in his power to push this enterprise it Is the duty of 0 every father business man or property owner the building of 0 this road would bo be a monument of credit to our city in all time to come tho the Is now started in t good faith by our local men and it Is tho the duty of everyman every man to stand u up and aay it shall go through when you think 0 aft tho be goldan gold and dallver silver and tho the mountains of iron ore with the thousands of acres of undeveloped coal lands and tho the
