EXTKXSJVK INTERESTS DEMAND HIS ATTENTION So ii Hi Dakota's Loss of One ol' Her Foremost. Citizens Is Ufa Irs Gain. Salt Lake City is to became the permanent per-manent homo of a distinguished statesman states-man within a short time, when former United States -Senator I'rnuk 11. Pct-tigrew'of Pct-tigrew'of South Dakota will remove here and establish his home. Senator Petfigrcw is widely known in political circles throughout the country, and in the senate was one of the leaders ou the Ifcpublicau side of the house. He would still bo in that body had he consented to run at the last national elect iou, but retired that he might look after his extensive business interests a little more closely. Ho is a mau of considerable means and is particularly particu-larly impressed with the future of Snlt Lake Citv and I'Tfnh. The genial senator was in this city a fow days ago and at that time looked over several properties here with the view, it is stated, of purchasing. Whether or not he found tho desired location is not known, "nut it is stated upon excellent authority, that he will return here soon and purchase a home. The senator is heavily interested in the Sevier Land and Water company, which will open 21)0,00" acres of land in M.il-lard M.il-lard couutv in the spring. By residing resid-ing here, ho can easily visit his property prop-erty and in that, manner keep in closer touch with the work than otherwise would bo the case. This laud, as exclusively stated in The Tribune several days ago. is to bo irrigated by two canals, each thirty-five thirty-five miles in length, and running from Lynn .funclion and Oak City down to U'olden. When this is completed and the laud is open, Lynn Junction will then become kuown as Millard. Senator s tsrotner Arrives. Senator Pcttigrew's brother, 11. 1'. Pettigrcw of Sioux Fulls, S. Dv, a leading citizen of that place and one of its promincut business meu. arrived in the city Sunday ovening and registered regis-tered at the (''ulJen. He was accompanied accom-panied by Mrs. iVItigrcw and they will remain at tho Cullen until they can find a house, when they will also make (his city their periuaueut home. Like "the senator, .Mr. rettigrew is heavily interested iu tho Sovier Land and Water company, and be will become be-come actively identified with tho work of irrigating the Millard county property prop-erty of the company. Splondid Future. Mr. I'cttigrew is enthusiast ie over the future prospects of the company's prop-cHy, prop-cHy, and he believes that within a year at the outside, the task of irrigation irri-gation will have been completed, the immense reservoir, to hold several million mil-lion gallons of water to be taken from tho lircon river rmishe-d. and every acre of the land will have been taken up. Mr. Petti grew looks for a great boom for the, Millard, county section of Utah and predicts thnt, Lynn .Timet iou. to be later known as Millard, will become one of the thriving littlo .cities of this commonwealth. Wkero Mr. and Mrs. Pettigrcw will mako their home, has not. of courtic. been decided, and it is probable that (hoy will remain at tho Oullen hotel for. several weeks before finally mak ing, up their minds. Sena lor Pettigrcw is expected to arrive ar-rive in tho citj- within a few weeks, ami will thcu settle upon the location of his future home. South Dakota's loss of one of her foremost citizens is a distinct gain for Utah, and it may hc expected that the geuial senator will become actively identified with politics in this state, sooner or later, despite the fact that his friends declare him to be permanently perma-nently out of politics. |
