Show IMPO IMPORTS AND EXPORTS territorial prosperity A FRUITFUL theme with journalists in neighboring states and territories jus just now is the inevitable changes that are to take place in utah upon the comple the inter oceanic railroad A feeling of disappointment is manifested ly by some that the mormons cormons Mor mons should assisi assist in ill any w ay to build it and that they are lot lol

in keeping with the many slanders that have been circulated concerning our people and otheir their leaders the mormons cormons Mor mons expect t to assist in building still more of th the line than the portion now directly contracted for and look upon it as the precursor of great changes but to their the r advantage and not to their disadvantage j in view of these cli cil changes anges our citizens must take steps promptly and energetic en ergeti cally to secure the prosperity of th the e territory if the railroad will be a means by which goods can be imported cheaper and more readily

produce will nind rind campeti commet tors in surrounding markets it weighs deavil heavily y to its money value and when it has to be carried far the freight charges are so much that it cannot bring t thata a value and the freight hence whiled with the mining population which will gather to tile the regions around this terri i tory lory markets for produce will be found until agriculture is
