There is a tonic in the air here which mountain lungs gasp for in Tain in the City of the Angels; this Is a better place for health, a, better place for strong lives to do their work in." And that is true.' We would not' discount the city, by the.6ea; it is altogether lovely; it is just the place for old people to rest in.; . But for those who have work to do, it does not compare with Salt Lake. And the work is going to begin in earnest this year. ThV movement is already started at Garfield Gar-field Point. That will be equivalent to adding a fully-peopled ward to Salt Lake. It will be seenjn added business. If men have small houses for rent down west of the depots, they will all be taken for wives and children while the husbands and fathers will toil at Garfield", w :l v.

The mining stock exchange is already giving premonitions premoni-tions of it The road from Toano to Ely will be fin-! fin-! ished in, four months and then half a dozen districts i in -eastern Nevada will be in ' fuir evidence here through their ore shipments. The Western Pacific will, during the same time, place Deep Creek 7 in striking distance, and all these things will be responded re-sponded to in this city by ebmething which will be closely akin to a boom. v;V' .-P:':, -':., " A gentleman was here last Saturday and wanted all the information possible about real estate; where the best business and residence districts were, and mentioned, incidentally, that he had been dealing in realty, in Los. Angeles for four years; that he had made a little money, but had about closed out, for he could see no interest on the prices they were hclding property at there now. He added: ; "I have looked the whole country over arid more promises of progress center here than in any spot I know of.w. '"'.. .':'. :. That gentlemen may be mistaken, but certain it is his thought is just now the thought of thousands more, and when such thoughts get into the air there are .sure to be responses. . ; 'vi' . The night of this winter has been a long one, but this is the very hour before the dawn. The volume of business' in this city will, greatly increase over that of last year, more private houses, more business blocks will be built this year than last, and real estate values will increase some millions in this city before Christmas. , , : ' -' We hope all the people will take a cheerful view and, as Mr. Beetle savs: "If you can't 'elp- don't 'inder." ,..'.1 -.

It is true the groundhog lied to us, this year; it is true that Dr. J Hyatt has not been very optimistic, , but th hens are doing great work-nowadays, their lays exceed those of the Last Minstrel; the sparrows are repair- ( iug their old houses and building new ones; the robins are overdue; the swallows will be along directly di-rectly and the first thing the low-spirited people know, Spring will be here. The buds aire already beginning to swell in anticipation; the sun, even fwhen in hiding for a month, was every day mount-leg mount-leg higher and higher; it.will not be long until the cir will grow soft, until a person can drive.up street -.vithout fear of foundering; until all the garniture : r f Fpring will be in evidence. ; And then there is going to be some work done : -ere work than Salt Lake ever saw going on in any - . cvious fpring; more building more repairing, ro business than ever before. . s ' .
