Show has. done well, so haa .the man .who has bought out-kid out-kid property and waited. And this progress if mov-iug.wita mov-iug.wita accelerated momentum cow, a ad will in-ereaee in-ereaee rapidly in the coming months, for the eoun-try eoun-try i crowding the city; the mines and farm, the flocks, the herds and oreharda ar all pressing to this center as' a clearing houae, and their work haa ohly just began. I fc-waud marcil There ought to be a very sensible increase in the volume of work going on in this city in the next thirty days; it should be doubled in the next sixty . days. Tbe starting of every new structure will have it etTuot. for often in a city the machinery of prog-. prog-. risg beuomt . stalled becauNe the engine upon vhich it alt depends for power sticks on the center, and all that is uceded is for two or three men to jump upon a spoke of the balance wheel and help the engine to a half stroke atil then it runs without difficulty. .That is what ia the matter with the business here now. When the work on the capitol, on the high school structure and two or three private pri-vate firnu begin their oantcmiilatod work, that will bo "the turning on the center" and the machinery tviif run right along ; for it is in perfect repair, the engliio ia not overloaded and there is pleuty of coal iL the bunkers and water in tbe tank. And the growth feeds upon itself. For instance, it. is expected thst the uew Utah hotel will he ready j ti r occupancy in June. That may affect the business busi-ness of other tirst class hoU'ls in the city for a few ' wee lot, but not longer. Men whefwhen they eome to the city jow stop at this or thst hotel, will prob-Mbly. prob-Mbly. many of them, -when they eome. after June. ' top once or twice at the Utah, and after that nine out of ten will drift bark to their old quarters. Then many more will stop off here because of the fame of the new structure, and '.hat will help all the other hotels. And when new great public buildings are started the impression w 11 become a conviction that nothing can stop Salt Lake on ita upward way. Thst feeling nt uncertainty for the future haunts every eity in the days of its growth before it reaches a k'tinn of absolute permanency. Men have been i rMnif their doubts here for twenty years.
