It is very seldom that nnv Interview In our papers commits I any Salt Lako cltlzon to anythln-r ' ci worth mentioning of loyal eulogy of fr. Tils own city and state, and most of .,1 what he says Ib nice phraseology nelplng along the reporter to another boost for California and especially 1 n Los Aiugeles. , It Is really pitiable, not to say dls- gustlng, to see the way in which prominent residents of Salt like fall ; r into this little trap set with ego- 'J tlatlcal bait, and are made to be mere catspawR for advertising this part or tho country, which needs their help 'i i fo Utile, and are entirely neglectful of tbolr own much needed good ti words. 1 Xo one will have much respect for .
