Show PLEASING BUILDING FIGURES. According to the "Construction News Report" of Chicago, Salt Lake City is credited with having the greatest building activity for the month of May of any city in the United States, Pittsburg ranks second and Denver third. That is a healthy indication and splendid sign, a good testimonial to the real prosperity and material worth of this city. What we need in this city more than anything else is for everybody every-body to boost. Knocking never built up any place, boosting on the other hand has built up many places whose real resources were more or less scanty. This city is the mining center of the United States, it is surrounded sur-rounded by mountains containing fabulous mineral wealth, the soil -of the country is unequaled in richness and in productive ability. We have the most enchanting and inspiring scenery in the world, a climate cli-mate that is practically perfect, in fact we have everything necessary for the up-building and maintenance of the most prosperous, progressive progres-sive commonwealth on earth much of the development and progress that has already been made has been accomplished in spite of knocking. knock-ing. Think how much greater headway would have been made had everybody been boosting. Let us boost, let us help, at least in a small way, to show our appreciation of nature's bounteous gifts to us by spending a little of our energy in boosting instead of knocking. |
