Show SPRING'S AUSPICIOUS SIGNS. Two whole days of sunshine; two old-fashioned sunsets; two dawns that have turned the world to purple and gold. The sun is mounting higher every day; the robins are coming back; but yesterday a meadow lark, like the dove from the ark, seemed to be spying out the land, to go back to report whether house-building ought to begin just now or a little longer postponed. The lawns on sunny exposures are becoming green; the buds are swelling; spring is all ready to begin to put on its garniture. The winter is going out like the tide. It may still be retarded by incoming in-coming blasts; it may roar still around the files in the harbors as though reluctant to go; but it will not be long now until all the industries will be in full blast. A great season's work is before the men of Salt Lake; more than they were ever called upon before to perform. All the signs are auspicious. The banks are choked with money; ordinary material ma-terial is here in abundance; additional laborers will come when demanded, so will additional capital, and work is contagious. The country is filled with men who wish to make investments, ami the louder the clamor that Salt Lake makes in the beginning of its transformation, the more men will be attracted this way to join in the work. Salt Lake City is on the up-grade. |
