City Twics Its Present Population Popula-tion in Fivo Years. Town-building has been reduced to a science bv tho up-to-date,real estate dealer. deal-er. He watches the planting. sprouting, blossoming and fruition of a city as un-nerstandlnply un-nerstandlnply as the horticulturist watches the growth of a fruit tree and his conclusion may bo received with a considerable, con-siderable, degree of confidence. Backed with unquestionable reasons for the faith that Is In their, a number 6t local realty men h ive forecasted for The Tribune ine Future Of Pall Lake, nnd at the snme tin.r. designated the Influences which Yi" hasten 01 retard th-- advancement of tne citv In different language, but with one n.rord. they declare thai the prime necessity neces-sity fit this time Is a public s&kenlng, better anpr elation "l the advantages or the city and enterprise. Following are some of the e.pi sslns. Confidenco Is Needed. To the question, what do you think of Salt Lake's future? W. H. Hurt replle.l: i hive always contended that Salt Iake would be a great city, both because of Its location and general surroundings, if the people will "iilv have confidence, lid one med doubt as to the brilliancy of its fu-turei fu-turei Confidence Is our greatest need. Mr. Hurd placed the population if Salt Lake in frve yean fr.m now at 126,000. Progressive Spirit Needed. J. W. Houston: "Salt Lake has a more pirmlslng future itnn any city 1 have ver Welted in my travels from the Atlantic Atlan-tic to the t'jeihe or from Canada to Mexico. Mex-ico. FYom a business standpoint it Is more attractive t . me than larger and more Ihlcklv populated Cities, because we ore yet to experience v. hat they have en-Joved en-Joved the gPOWlh Into a ir at city. We will probable have a creat elty here within with-in five -vears and we will certainly have It If all" the people get enthused with n more procn salve spirit. In my opinion our greatest need is a more progressive sn'.Ht." What the Lord Has Done. S B. Westcrfleld: "Salt Lake City, the perrn in.-nt capital of the State of UlAh, has a future greater than a conservative business man can state without going lnl the vast known resources of the State and the surroundiiiK urrilory of the adjoining States that is naturally tributary to the citv. The future of the city Is not limited lim-ited to the known and partially developod resources, for th.' fact exists that I ho grtat mineral districts tributary to Salt Lake are as yet In their infancy as to development. de-velopment. The razm ami farming Interests. In-terests. Including sugar-beet culture and horticulture, are as yet hardly opened, but the virtue of our land Is known The railroads will do much to bring about the development of Salt Lake nnd Utah. The climate and mineral springs are equal to the best In the United States. If not in the world. Located as this city Is In the Gr?at Salt Lake basin, all roads from nil the mountain mining districts lead to this city with a down-hill pull and this means much for the smelting Interests. Thousands Thou-sands of tons of ore and a corresponding quantity of coal nnd coke will he shipped dally to the smelters located near the city. In the geographical arrangement of the country the good Lord has done more for this city than man. What has been left ur.done can fx completed by enterprising men. We need men of capital and particularly par-ticularly men of brains and enterprise. We can expect little more from the Supreme Architect. As the old saying goes: "God made the country, but man must make the city.' With enterprise we ran increase our city to dOUblS Its present population In five yeans, And with the Western Pa-c'fic Pa-c'fic and ill" enterprising push referred to we ought to double again in ten years thereafter." Like Early Days. A. C. Sadler "Conditions in Salt lake nt the present time nro very similar to those which prevailed in 1SS5, 1S-V. and 187. Just before the boom There is a gradual grad-ual Increase In population. People In other States are making Inquiries. The demand for medium-sized vacant houses Is increasing. Those who buy are usually In a position to pay cosh down and loans on real estiUe are easily secured. The men w-ho have money to loan are showing their confidence In renl estate values by loaning 0) to 75 per cent of the price on realty where they formerly refused to advance more than Z to 40 per cent It has been m observation that persons fr'.m outside shew more foresight In the purchase ,,f property 111. in the IOCS people peo-ple They are getting In on the Inside business property, realising that the growth of the city Is sure to causo a great demand for it. Our own people do not seem to see 60 far ahead. Indications are that the city will almost doublo In population In the r, t ten or fifteen years The influx Is bringing us people Of a more progressive type. Labor conditions con-ditions here are Ideal and should appeal to the capitalist The men are not restless rest-less and unsettled, as they are In Chicago Chi-cago and other places, and strikes are all hut unknown ur line schools nr.- nn attraction whose value it would be hard to overestimate. They are bringing people with children from all points i have had three letters In the past week from persons with small families who wanted little cottages, in which to live w 1 IN ili. ir children were attending school The scrip bill pasted bv th-- last Lg1la-1 Lg1la-1 ire through the efforts of the Real Estate Es-tate association will be a great stimulus to Improvement Since sidewalks, sowers and pjavemCiUs CSU bfl had on iong-tlmn payments, every one le anxious to have the Improvements begin, nnd there- will be an Immense amount of sidewalk building build-ing In the outlying districts Everything points to a very rapid growth of the city." Mora Enthusiasm Needed. S. B Tuttlo: "Salt Lake laeks only one thing and tlL.it is enthusiasm. The onlv trouble with the people Is that they do not appreciate what they havo. This friction between tho Gentiles and the church Is not such a serious drawback It Is a mere Incident and will be lost night of as soon as tho people awaken to the marveh.us development that la possible possi-ble here, jt is an advantage rather than otherwise to have the headquarters of tho Mormon church located here, for It gives the city a unique distinction', which advertises it ;Ul over the civilized world This elty and State havo every natural advantage known to mnn, but we do not half appreciate them. We are in tho center cen-ter of tho liitermoiintaln territory. We are in a position to dominate the trade Of Northern Arizona, nearly all of Nevada, Ne-vada, Southern Idaho. Southwestern Wyoming and Western Colorado, but we. do not appreriale what this means Two mines in Park City have paid mors dividends divi-dends than all of the Oripplo Creek district- Wo have here tho only salt bath- Ing between the two oceans. On ono side we havo lovely canyons and on the other level fields as fruitful as any In tho world but wo do not reallzo It They are spending a quarter Of a million In Improvements at Fort Douglas and a half million on the Government building In Suit Lake. Anywhere elso tho people would bo telling everybody about the vast expenditures, but we ,r not appreciate appre-ciate what they mean to the city, Until we pit our shoulder? under tho whei I and begin tO boost we will never gain the advantages to which our surroundings entitle DS 'When wo appreciate our own greatness others will take us at our own valuation and cnno In, If that spirit Is shown the City ought to double In population popu-lation within tho next live years." Dormant for a Decade. W. H. Cromar "Salt Lake has loin dorm.Ynt during ten years past. Tho city Is Just at the beginning Of new life Now two excursions, one from Los Angeles and one from Untie, are coming lore if nun .of business and men with Interests here will do the right thing now they are going to get good things from these people as wrii us from othert "Now here Is a sample of the way things are: Up to two years ago we could sell good property by making effort to do so. During the iast two years people have lost spirit. In the hist two months some demand for propertv hss COmS. We have done more business In the last two months than In many times that period before. "All we need here Is change among our own people. Bankers and financial men, people WuQ have Interests here, must look not to their own selfish Interests, but to the Interests of the city. They must make Improvements and help the public We need more factories nnd places giving em- ph yment to young people and wage earners. earn-ers. ' personally know of several Instances In-stances where men bought property during dur-ing recent vears In Salt Lake and then sold out because they could do nothing for themselves herb. It Is different now we are at the beginning of a new era. And If the people of Salt Lake City work toward the city's Interests these things are going to be of the past ' "Now you ask me as to growth During Dur-ing the next vear population will fluctuate hen People are going to leave Salt Lake as well os come in. They ore going out to new towns and new districts being i i " ned up. They are going to help make the surrounding and tributary country. This Will Ultimately add to the rltv's growth and wealth In the next two vears our population should Increase 20 per cent It should then Increase at a faster rate but the future depends in good part on what the pmple of Salt Lake nie going to do for Ball I-ake. our fogies mUSt be put to one side. They arc OUr or.ly drawback. They nie getllng out of the wu. .More property has been Bold di. ring the Inst six weeks In this city than WBB sold for many months In past years." Wonder of the West. E P. Colburn: "Salt Lake's future Is all right In tlvo years from now this citv should have a population of laO.Ooi) And that 1 taking 100,000 off from Mr. Ilarrlman's prediction. This citv has the geographical location to command, and It Is the heart of a rich region of enormous enor-mous area and vast resources, still undeveloped. un-developed. If. despite the burdens of the past surh as great distance from tho geographical geograph-ical center of population in America, inadequate in-adequate railroad facilities, a too conservative con-servative nnd slothful pcoplo and a general gen-eral disposition to devote most of the time to fighting over one thing and anotherthis an-otherthis city has grown steadily from tho very day Of. Its birth, what la there to keep It wearing seven-league boots now that all these handicaps have been In a measure removed 1 he people aro unltcdlv moving hero toward building build-ing up a great commonwealth and a great citv. With all tho to.lk about Salt Lake, tho fact remains that the city has gained in population and wealth every day of time since Its founding. "I don't know that I could furnish a prescription which would cure the complaints com-plaints we have, or eould outline a plan for upbuilding the city thnt would ho satisfactory lo every one But I venture that If the pessimists would go or I., i om again as optimists It would be B c 1 thing Shouting for one's OWii town Is a good thing. V little. Judicious lying I - b good thins Every man, woman and child saying that this Is the best city In Amerlen. would make a big difference, to Salt Lake. If some of the Main street j.i ii te would pull down SOmi Of the old adobe and saleratue buildings on that thoroughfaro It would help. And In this connection I would suggest that If they don't do It some of these Los Angeles visitors will commence to do things over on State street, and tho Main street pcoplo pco-plo will wake up some day to discover that they havo sinned away their day of grace. Another thing that would help would he for tho pcoplo of Salt Lake to buy their own property and show' confidence confi-dence lu their elty Instend of lying down and waiting for outsiders to Invest A great, big real estate movement hero wqjild result from such a course In Itself "As to population, I think tills clt ought to get 100,000 people every live years for the next twenty years. These strangers who are coming tomorrow these Los Angeles fellows aro the people who know how to build cities Wo would do well to follow some of their methode. God did His part for us. It only remains for us to do something onrselve. and out here In tho deert will grow a city that will bo the wonder of the West." Turn to the Right. N. W Clayton: "Salt Lake has a good future ahead of her. But little thlngH count In helping that future to come quicker. For ono thing, people here would do well to. pay o llttlo attention to walking where they belong on the right hand of tho sidewalks, and to not stop and confer In the middle of the pavement pave-ment They might also put more time and thought to working together and less to pulling ami hauling at one another an-other This city has magnificent resources all about II. It hae the best ellmaate In the West the best In tho world. On its people depends In a good measure Its futurethey fu-turethey must work together. I believe tho city should grow 15.000 In the next five vears at the very least And I think that Its growth thereafter will be much faster If peoplo do the right thing by It " Great Railway Center. E S. Darling "Salt Lake Citv now offers of-fers better opportunities than any city In tho West. Its natauraj location puts t It outside, competition from neighboring towns. It gives us an Immense territory terri-tory at our limits ond thla city will undoubtedly un-doubtedly always be the metropolis between be-tween Denver nnd the coast. Its natural location mokes it a sought for point by all transcontinental lines and many more railways are coming to Snlt Like city In tho future It Is destined to bo ono of the largest railway centers west of Chicago. Chi-cago. "Tho people of Salt Lako City don t seem to realize the opportunities In their grasp By forgetting din', n nc . and joining hands they can rally togi thei for tho city's Interests There Is no reason rea-son why, if they adopt this course, the greatest expectations cannot be realised, Greatly needed Improvements In streets nnd sidewalks will he doubtless greatly advanced within the next two years Now more Improvements will probably be made than has been the case In the pat ten years. This ono feature alone will make Salt Lako great as a beautiful city and well kept With well paved streets and well kept sidewalks It will be apparent appar-ent that the people themselves aro showing show-ing local pride In their Improvements. "A to Increase in population, I am optimistic. op-timistic. 1 think our greatest growth period Is now at hand nnd that with factories fac-tories and new railroads coming in and with development of mines and farm lands about us tho city will take great strides. I look for 25O.0O0 people In five years, In twenty years I think tho city will havo half a million." Blight Prospects Ahead. w j Kolloran: "Say for me that the future of Salt Lake City Is, unless all signs fall, brighter at the present daj than ever before In our history. More great public enterprises are now undei way, there Is more of public spirit nnd appreciation of our opportunities than has been shown at any other period S dt Lake can DO made a greater city by going go-ing on in the way that ore have started, hv pulling together, I v rcallzlnfl our natural nat-ural advantages, by educating th? outside out-side world to understand that Utah i.s destined soon to become the greatest min- : eral producing State of tho Union. In 1910 Snlt Lake will have 100,000 population and from thence will show a rapid and permanent growth " Manufacturing Is Needed. C. W Johnson- "Brighter than ever are our prospei is this ear. and with good region Here's our new road to Lot Angeles, An-geles, by which we arc already grcatlv hi nefltea: here's nn increased activity in mining circles that assures us added millions mil-lions of wealth, plans under way for great plants to treat the increased product, pro-duct, and a great growth In the sugar beet ndUStry( to which Utah Is peculiarly adapted. We need inoro manufacturing; we need the opening of our mar slous Iron Held-;, and abovo all, wo need to have every one realize that this State Is surpassed sur-passed by none In tho magnitude of Its natural wealth and resources. 'In 1910 Salt Lake City will have a population or JoO.OOO, and by P25 It should bo the home of a quarter of u million people." Needs of the City, James K. Shaw: "Our future the brightest In years; Our needs more r.nl-roads, r.nl-roads, competition in freight rates more manufacturing, completion of tho present projected plans tor the extension of our water system, the doubling and trebling of the output of our mines a certainty within B few years increased capacity Of the valley smelters to handle tho product, the united effort of the business men-all men-all these taken together must and will make Salt Lake ;i great citv- of contlnu-o contlnu-o js growth and Incn-nslng prosperity." Room for a Half-Million. George L Moats. "It does not take n prophet lb si e that Salt Lake 1 9 In ' the 'Cltj of Opportunities.' Brains, capital capi-tal and energy, nnd wo have all Of them. Joined with breadth of view and public spirit, will make this the greatest city between the Mlsslsslpp river and tho Pacific Pa-cific coast We havo every advantage of climate natural location Of a metropolis and unbounded wenlth awaiting development, develop-ment, There la room ond opportunity here for a lutif a million people, snd mors of them will come every year." Five Thousand a Year. R. A. Ranck: "Contrast Salt Latter of twenty-five years ago nothing more than a vlllago with our thriving modern citv of today, then double that progress, ond you have my conception of what Salt Lake City will be twenty years hence. We ars going to get Just what we need to make this a greater city more money for Investment, a broader and more Intelligent In-telligent spirit of enterprise. Kor many years tho city will grow at tho rato of 0000 per year." Demand for New Life A. Blchtrr; "Salt Lako Citv is bound to grow and prosper. That 1? true be-M.nd be-M.nd a doubt. Jf nothing else bo considered, consid-ered, the development of our mining resources, re-sources, the attractions of the lako ond our hOt springs ore In themselves enough to make a gnat city. As I see It, what we nerd at this time Is new life, a spirit of grouping tho opportunity of the hour, the establishing of more factories; the Utilising, hero at home, of the varied resources re-sources nt our command. Tho salt industry in-dustry should expand ond be many times larger than It now Is. Iron mills should handle tho rich ores from tho greatest Iron deposits In America, which are to be found In Utah. There Is n ready market here for : multlludo of manufactured products which we now obtain from Other sections of tho country, and yet for thi'tm same things u ha e the raw material ma-terial In abundance. I am confident that we have reached the stage where there 1 . no ,: .not b ii that Salt 1. ik is ent ring upon D long pi i lod of great growth and prospt rity." Let Us Have Ppoc;." j, L.

S Grant, 'Let us have peace,' and all unlto for a greater S It Lake." New Blood Wanted. Alex Robertson! "There Is no city of equnl size In the Union which can boast of as bright nn outlook for the future as this city of ours. She Is tho capital city of a State whose resources, developed and undeveloped, aro sprpassed by none and equalled by few other States. All that we med to make her a city with a population of 250, 0C0 within the next ten yeurs Is a llftle new blood with some capital behind H Mi ii with up-to-date business methods who will Invest in but Ini . ropl rly, properly prop-erly Improve it and bo satlslled with a fair return on the money Invested, men who will Infuse a little ginger Into us, who have for years beeu overlooking the many 0 portunltiOS laid at our feet by nature herseif.

Use that Is what wo need. Let tho whole world know what opportunities are hero and nk them to coino and get In belViro It is too late." Hubbard Has Faith. "I have great faith In the immediate future of Salt T,ako," said K. S Hubbard, 'I am satisfied that In the next four or nve years the city win experience o inu h greater growth than It has enjoyed up to this time. I base these statements upon three reasons Wo assured of a most rapid petj.l of railroad building, the Los Angeles road has Just been completed com-pleted and wo have lines coming from San Francisco and Denver. The Moffat road will go i ir toward making salt Lake tho western terminal instead , f Denver. Wi must also consider the unusual development de-velopment Of Utah mineral resources which are now beginning to plav an Important Im-portant role In llio commercial world Another important factor Is to be found in the general awakening of the people of adjoining States to the fact that real estate valuer, hero In comparison with thoso of other large cities aro and have been very low It is most natural that i good business meti Who have mode largo profits in some of the rapidly growing cities, particularly Los Angeles and Denver, Den-ver, should take advantage of tho opportunities oppor-tunities salt Lake offers. Wo must admit ad-mit tiiat .luring the past few years Bait Lake has dohe very llttlo advertising among outside people, ond In my opinion this is niofit necesSars for our future growth Wo have the resources, we nave the climate we have the loiatlon and we must let other people know about It Do (tils and It Ik mv firm belief that within Ave vears Salt Lako will hao a population popula-tion of over 200.000." "Never wis Sal. Lake's future bilght-rr bilght-rr said vl B Hubbard. "The outlook is encouraging in everj respect and in the n, t four rr nve years Skit Lake's growth v ill bo unequalled by that of any city In the West. Mftny factors will asplst in bringing this about, principally the construction con-struction of new railroads, the great development de-velopment of Utah's mineral resources nr. I also the establishment here of groat reducing plants To enjoy perfectly tho lull measure of prosperity which awaits us Sal' Lake citizens must pull together Ilk- the Angels and like them advertise In every legitimate way our wonderful natural nat-ural resources This dme nnd I should nl.-u-e as a conservative estimate, the population of Molt Like City In five years from now nt 100.000." Should Outstrip All. "In a very few years Salt Iako city hould outstrip any city between Kansas fll and San Francisco " said Thomas Homer 'That Is. providing she does not fnll asleep again The resources of tho State are fast making hot a railroad center cen-ter The new smelters to be built In the il'lej adjacent should In themselves bo BUfflclenl to Increase our population by several thousand.
