Feriy called to his eternal home 100 Years Ago •Ideal man and citizen A general gloom was cast over the city shortly after the noon hour last Monday, when it became known that Colonel William M. Ferry, one of the camp's oldest, best and most highly respected citizens, and man of affairs had been call to his eternal home. The sad news spread rapidly and caused much surprise as it was not known but what the colonel was in his usual health and spirits. And in fact, he was apparently as well as ever, until an hour before his filial summons came and he was stricken down. Dr. Wilson, who was immediately called, announced to the members of the family present that the end was near. On New Year's Day he was in usual happy and cheerful spirits, spending the day with his family. At 11 o'clock Monday morning, however, he was seized with the fatal illness, and an hour later, surrounded by his beloved family and a minister, he slipped away. After military service, rising to the rank of colonel during the Civil War, and a career in public service in Michigan, he came to Utah in 1878 and at once took an active interest in the welfare of the state; an interest which never lagged, even up to the last. Although colonel Ferry had always been a strong Democrat in national politics, he became a staunch member of the Liberal Party in Utah. From 1888 to 1892, he was the Democratic national committeeman for this state and was the Democratic nominee for Congress in 1892, being defeated by John T Calus, the Peopled Party candidate. He was one of the World s Fair commissioners for Utah in 1893. [As a 25-year resident of Park City. Colonel Ferry was largely identified with its growth and prosperity.

"We used to be able to tell applicants from out of town they could live in Salt Lake City but they have almost no openings." Furthermore. Meier said, in Wasatch County, which traditionally exported workers to Park City, there are currently 52 job openings, so she says, "People there don't feel they need to commute." Among the applicants on the books at Job Service, Meier said, many are looking for professional, not service work, positions. Meier said she saw the crunch coming at this year's Job Fair. "We had more employers and fewir applicants." And the problem, srjte said, isn't about to get better. "We keep adding more restaurants and retail establishments and I don1! know how we arc going to meet those demands." Park City Public Works Director Jerry Gibbs said the employee shortage has definitely affected some of liis departments. "We were short two bus drivers and had to pull the trolley out of service just to keep the other lines running." Gibbs added, "Tliere just arent any people available. We have been advertising since October and we are in the paper every week." Park City Ski Area Communications Director Charlie Lansche, however, said the resort is in pretty good shape in terms of employees. But he admits, "It^s been a challenge at times." In fact, this year, for the first time, the Park City Ski Area is busing employees in from Salt Lake City, Heber and Provo. "Normally we recruit people from out of state but because of the cost of housing we didn't feel that would be responsible." So far, Lansche said, the buses have not been full but have been "moderately successful." Employees pay a nominal fee for a round trip fair but, he said, the bulk of the cost is subsidized by the ski area.

While brokers do not practice law as such, they must know the procedures that assure your interests are protected when you sell property, and the language of the law as it pertains to real estate. Real estate is a complex business, which is why brokers and agents must prove they are knowledgeable before being licensed. Much of the complexity is written into law, and in a language typically obscure to the untrained. While it is up to you to "read the fine print," your broker can serve also as your interpreter. Wise buyers and sellers protect themselves by using experienced real estate professionals. © MICHAEL LAPAY MOHLE 435.(40.5700 OFFICE: 435.6J$.8600 580 MAIN STREET, PARK CITY VIRTUAL TOURS: WWW.PUREUTAH.COM E-MAIL: MLAPAY@PUREUTAII.COM Prudential Utah Real Estate "Simple ye.l delicious" at Silver Lake - National Geographic Traveler Gome join us for another Wonderful Winter Menu & Season! 9 4 0 . 0 8 0 0 / 7 5 8 0 Royal Street East / Silver Lake DINNER.
