that they are destined to be and now are two of the most important factors in marking a new era in the commercial growth both of salt lake and summit counties I 1 the salt lake eastern fills a longfelt want in furnishing a direct line between this valley and the countey east park city is a natural ally of ef salt like lake geographically sae is more favorably located pouted to sf ser than to any of the other larger ians 1 no of the be territory but this to is by nio all her base of eup supplies plies is here she is dependent upon this and weber valleys for her vast supply of salt tor for re final and ana milling purposes her merchandise her flour her bruss and vegetables are in large parts shipped from here add to this the fact that the two counties are closely drawn together it is but proper to state this new and direct alliance by rail of the capital city and the he Terri torys most important mining camp is a most opportune and necessary step the only wonder is that enterprise has not given it an earlier recognition as this step has certainly been feasible for a number of years the S L F FD D is important in the sense of helping to develop the country in that it is opening up toe vast sandstone quarries east of the city an and in furnishing an easy and expeditious expeditious transit from the suburban districts and military posts into the city THE INDIANS OF UTAH being without reports from the agencies located in this territory it is difficult to give more than a general treatment of this subject I 1 believe there are some 2000 to 2200 indians in utah altogether the greater number umber of whom are at the uintah and ouray a agencies acles on the eastern boundary of tre the territory the remainder exist partly in roving rovina bands and partly in tle settlements they have made for themselves at different If terent places there are three such comm nai ties where the indians by abjuring their tribal relations have taken up the lands permitted them by law and have done much to improve them and their own condition these eddian towns are at deep creek thistle valley and at Was bakle near bear river at the jhc latter place they have a school store decent bouses and some comforts the roving bands acknowledge someone some one or other of the well known chiefs those in the northern part of the territory bring chiefly and those in the south sooth plates there to is not the ell slightest tah test sign of hostility on the part of the indians away from the reservations those who rove being ambit ionis and without spirit while as to those who gather in their farming villages all their paths piths are peace LABO it SUPPLY AND WAGES toe the past year has been an active and busy one throughout the territory extensive building has been
