has passed since 1 the Territory became the State of I Utah as one of the momentous periods In the history of the Nationand this Is undeniably the factthen we may take honest pride In the thought that it has fallen to our lot to be particiPants partici-pants in no small measure in the national na-tional triumphs which have attended the national valor During the brief lime of our membership in the sisterhood sister-hood Qf States the last vestige of ancient an-cient and tyrannical power has been driven from the Western hemisphere i and millions people have boon lib crated from hereditary bondage through American achievement Every patriotic mind within our boundaries should be stirred by the thought that this he youngest of the Slates was among the first to respond to the call for volunteers to crush the power of the t oppressor and free her enslaved and downtrodden subjects Our valiant sons wherever they were assigned to duty made a record of which every citizen should be proud Theae men few of whom had ever before shouldered shoul-dered a gun for a hostile purpose or cnew the alarums of a battlefield at once placed themselves with the very forefront of the Nations army and acted throughout as though they were tried and seasoned veterans Their work redounds to their endless credit and ours and as lime rolls on their deeds will shine with greater luster until I

Heber M Tel1st Gov Wells Immediately arose In the face of a tremendous ovation ova-tion and delivered his Inaugural address ad-dress as follows FellowCitizens of UtahAt the birth of a new century It Is my happy privilege to extend toyou greeting and congratulations upon the auspicious auspi-cious circumstances under which we enter the new era Of the worlds career It must be a source of pride and satisfaction satis-faction to each and all of us that we have lived moved and had our being in the glorious century that has lust closed It has been century of such I astounding advancement that by comparison com-parison the achievements of other cen tllrtftc cfvnm rliill nn1 l InultrnHlnnnf pPI > d Increased discoveries t science and their application to the uses of man the Improved condition oC Asocial life throughout the world the spread of civilization everywhere and the consequent conse-quent extension of the white mans dominion do-minion give us abundant cause for reverence to the century dead and direct di-rect our eyes with confidence and courage to the greater glories which await us In the century born In the worlds great progress which I has reached so splendid a stage It Is not too much to say that our own mighty Republic founded but little more than a hundred years ago stands I I today the prodigy of the century With but five million Inhabitants lu 1800 fringing the Atlantic coast engaged en-gaged In tradirig with each other and I wringing a precarious livelihood from an untried soil the United Slates of America has grown Into a nation oCr I oC-r 76000000 of people occupying half a I continent and exceeding in wealth and I strength the resources of any civilized nation under the sun Neither In ancient an-cient mediaeval nor modern times has history recorded any such growth development de-velopment and achievement as ours and yet our present supreme position among = the nations has been attained after only a little morethan hundred years True there have been perils pains and strifes such as would have 1 wrecked any nal onalUy not built I upon the sohJdoeJc pfpopular sovereignty sover-eignty But we have remved cause I for rejoicing that upon this Abroad t foundation guarded and guided by DI S stanchest defenders of our Nations honor PROSPERITY OF THE STATE In the material prosperity which has come to our country Utah has also contributed an Important part and had a generous share Here as elsewhere In the Union events are taking tak-ing us by the hand and leading us rap idly i forward Enterprises of great pith and moment have multiplied and are going onward at an almost Impetuous pace and these embrace nearly every phase of industrial life bY means of which employment Is I afforded to artisans arti-sans and laborers Mining and manufacturing manu-facturing probably show the greatest advancement While In 1895 the gross production of the precious metals of the State was 8312352 In 1000 It was 1G01120 and while the product of our Industrial concerns in 1SS was estimated I esti-mated at GG7SH8 in 1000 It was approximately I ap-proximately j 10813000 The Inercaac I in our factory products is perhaps chiefly attrjbutable to the new sugar i factories already erected which arc adding vastly to the wealth of the I Stale These with others which are In process of construction are furnishing furnish-ing employment to hundreds of our citizens cit-izens and revolutionizing and building up the farming intersts of the communities com-munities In which they are located I In the past five years our livestock Interests have grown enormously It is to he regretted that definite statistics are not obtainable but from caretul estimates it IB I safe to pay that this feature fea-ture of industrial wealth has doubled In value since Statehood and has now reached a figure estimated at S21079000 In all agricultural Interests that department de-partment lof our economical r > stem which has made all the rest possible and upon which all of them and all of us depend the improvement is so marked and BO extensive that our successful suc-cessful tilling of the soil has become an impregnable safeguard against dependence de-pendence upon our neighbors for anything any-thing whatever in the nature of food or forage It Is with great satisfaction therefore that we arc enqbleil to regard re-gard our agricultural Industry ns one of tho most substantial and enduringly profitable of any within our bordcts PROMISE MAGNIFICENT While the realizations of past labors I are grand the promise of what Is to follow Is magnificent Capital attracted at-tracted by the magnltiim of our mountains moun-tains Is already not only pointing but pouring In our direction Vast projects pro-jects for tho reaervolrlng of our streams and the redemption of our arid I lands are under discussion It requires but a dull Imagination to see the black smoke of new smelters to be built q H7 ready filling the air The coal and
