Washburn, president of tho Washburn Wash-burn Investment company of Minneapolis, Min-neapolis, who is expressing himself him-self well pleased with the project. If Salt Lake does not become a railroad center it will not be from lack of opportunities oppor-tunities that present . themselves from day to day. Should we fail then it would ratber be due to an over amount of confidence by our citizens who rely too much upon the natural advantages of our city as a business center. Let them, howover, bear in mind that natural nat-ural advantages do not build a railroad or any other enterprise, and more cities have been killed by natural advantages ad-vantages than have been built thoreby. We hope that the above statement will furnish food for some of our wealthy, or rather too conservative citizens here. An Ineorrecp Statement.
