lake city is begin beginning nin g the I 1 boom that was promised bi by the victors in the recent election it t has been charged that hat t the libers liberal party was far more animated by a speculative fever than by the fires of patriotism during the remarkable campaign which ended in the overthrow of the saints in their wn city and subsequent even events ta lend color to the mormon view of the case it has been the policy alicy of the latter rather to encourage land land using than land speculation and it is stated as a fact that the poorest saint picked up in the slums of europe and set down in the land of the honeybee soon becomes an independent well to do citizen with a good 01 od house to live in and with large bf blessings in basket and store it has even been affirmed that there is not a pauper in all but that perhaps is an exaggeration although recent visitors to salt lake city declare that nearly every saint tn in that place is the owner of his own home if this be true now t will not remain true very long after he boom gets geta to tab running in good shape it IL has been said that when chickens are high priced the people who raise chickens do not eat them and so go when speculators run ran a boom in real estate the people who use real estate do biot not own it they find arid it cheaper to rent and they also find as our south water street commission men
