Show TO THE NEW BOSS. To Nineteen Hundred Seven; Greeting: Ton look, to be a vigorous chap and your whole makeup seems to be tingling ting-ling with life and energy. On tho instant in-stant that the finger of Old Father Time pointed to the hour of midnight last night we saw you almost bump into your prcdecssor as he was taking his departure. That sort of promptitude and energy looks good to Salt Lakers. Tn fact, we confidently expected it, because your predecessor made tho promise that the young fellow to whom ho would assign the prosecution of his work should be capable of just, doubling up all of his own performances. Xow. for your information, sir, let us say to 3'ou .that Nineteen Hundred Six, Esqr., set a mighty lively industrial indus-trial pace here, and if 3-ou are to exceed, ex-ceed, his speed you must, necessarily '"go some." It would require quite a book in which to relate all that he did. so your work is certainly cut out for you during the twelve months that you are to be with us. Your immediate predecessor found some of us to be rather a slow lot, except, ex-cept, that by the aid of some progressive, progres-sive, ones Mr. Nineteen Hundred Five, in the latter part of his slay with us (and having a sort of prophetic, eye to the future), had laid an American fouiv dntion upon which his successor might, begin to build. Your immediate predecessor pre-decessor seemed to thoroughly apprccii ato (he valuable legacy which came to him, and he at once took advantage, of it to the fullest; extent. And tho way in which he proceeded to tear Town the old and build up. the "new was n "caution! " Before you get any further along with your plans let us say to .you, first of all, that your predecessor set out to construct here tho Greater Salt Lake: and be worked wonders of magnificence mag-nificence in that direction. He did just about all that any industrious constructionist con-structionist could possibly do in a single sin-gle twelve-month; and he left things in such good shape for you that if you got to work and etay at work all the time 3'ou will be able to beat his record rec-ord by several city blocks. But remember that, there are. just three hundred and sixty-five days in your period of activity. That is a very short stay to make, and we therefore suggest to you that there isn't a wink of sleep coming to yen in that time; because there- is a littlo pleasure to be squeezed in between the different big works which you are to. perform, so that taking your work and play together to-gether it seems to be a case of GO all the time for you. You can readily see, .voting sir, that some portion of your activity must be alive and awake every minute of the time, v You .remember what your predecessor whispered into your car just as he was leaving Well, we are Teady for it now and can make good use of 'every cent of it. He "loosened up" to the limit, and 3-011 can see the result? of his .generosity iu the great preparations which have been made for 3-011. Every American soul of us in this town is with you and w'ill keep step wilh you in the big Progress March, You are a mighty hcalth--looking youth and we can use every ounce of energy .which .you possess. We want the Greater Salt Lake, Mr. Nineteen Hundred Seven. Here arc tho materials mate-rials and the tools it is up to 'ou! |
