The material wealth of the Yukon did not make a dense population nor did the yellow gold of California. In the early tJHe of America the wealth of a new world flowed airoMH the ocean to support industrial cities of 'Kurope, It was with tho development of induHtfte that converted cotton Into cloth and clothes, hidew into shoes, wheat Into broad and ores into tools and machinery that there came the growth In population and wealth. Now' comes Halt Lake, Industrial and distributing renter of the the Jtorky asmountain country,of on an many believe, torge, will thai development make It the Pittsburg of the west. What are the possibilities of Halt la&ke? For years her major re- sources have either remulned dormant or flowed out in the raw stale to nourish Industries in eastern center of population, Is this condition changing? tn tha midst of rupidly moving events tho observer from day to day has no perspective front which to view tho trend of the times or determine fast just what Isis happening orIt how becomes industry developing. necessary to take an Inventory, to stand aside, as it were, and look over the elinalionr to compare the Then, it present with tho past. may he, an Intelligent Idea of future projects wlH rwuU, Haste resources of industry are first iron ore and coking coal. Among minerals copper, lead, stno and the' precious metals are important.' theAhead of these should be placed agricultural products, which, in tho manufactured state, furnish food nnd clothing. Huch a variety of economic factor contribute to the possibilities of a city ftsim an industrial standpoint that a survey must consider Most Important is them singly. tho combination of freight rates that eventually act from the time the rnw materiel is taken from the ground till tho finished products More imteach the Consumer portant is the relative rate com par ed with competatlve cities than tho tirl'iiu! rate In dollars and cents For many years iron ore from Lake Michigan met the rok'lpg coal of lenns Ivanla of Pittsburg and the resulting products supplied the nit Ion and mnde that city the first Industrial center of America, There cunio a time when the byproducts from coal became worth as much as the coke.

Old Handicap. For a long time Halt Xtke ha been' handicapped a an Industrial center first by the attempt of railroads to compete with steamships. This caused them t grunt lower transcontinental rates than were scheduled for t)6 intermediate territory. Hocood on goods made at home the citv has been handicapped by a sparsely settled country in her logical trade territory. Often through production on a grutid scale eastern msnufuc. turera could put goOil on the market In the Rocky mountains cheaper than borne manufacturers. This condition still prevails in the wool Industry, in the business hides Into shoe nnd In other branches of the clothing business. However, western are now trying to build western industry, realising the futil-.It- y of competing with steamships Transportation conditions that ome made it desirable for railroads to haul our rnw pioducts out and finished goods back, thus building great eastern renters of popula-intion, no longer hold.

I Utah. looking at the steel industry which Just now seems to be the capstone of Balt Isikc .industrial future, it Is only fair to point to certain disadvantages along with Ue gener.il outlook which, hfter all, is bright enough. Hince coke, not coal, must be used in the blnt furnace the new steel plant will be at first hard put to find a satisfactory market for its coul gas. one of the most valuable products of the great furnaces that For power purChicago. poses th plant Itself can use some gas and undoubtedly It will eventually supply many Utah cities hut a complete mafket Ifor coni gas will have to await t lvf development brought by the industiv that makes the gas.
