Show OUR STONE QUARRIES ONE thing has been made apparent by the fine buildings that have recently been erected in this city and that is that lying near here are inexhaustible stores of building stone of a beauty and quality scarcely surpassed on the continent prom from price and spanish fork canyons come sandstone as good and beautiful as can be found anywhere and of various colors colon and the low figure at wh ch cb this handsome building material can be laid down should encourage its more extended use and the erection of more fine structures in this city and at other points to which the stone might be cheaply shipped the sandstone from red bed butte lies so near this city is of such excellent appearance and quality and can be procured at so low a price that there is still less reason why we should not have more fine and substantial huli buli dings the foundations of this city were laid in the expectation that it bould be a metropolis long after many of the largest cities of the continent had sunk into insignificance and builders who aim to build with a durability and excellence commensurate with what is 18 confidently looked forward to as the destiny of tills city will use the lasting and handsome material with which this region has been by nature so abundantly supplied the character of a people pir takes of the nature of their physical surroundings roun dings A child educated in a log cabin will as long as it lives give evidence of having received log cabin instruction unless the strongest influences are brought to bear to eradicate the effects of early training and supplement crude in sc ruction with that which is more advanced so a people who have come to regard an adebie structure re as a model of architectural excellence are likely to fail to progress in a general way until better buildings appear among them men who build good durable and costly edifices enrich the country both temporarily and permanently they put money in circulation among laboring men and thus for a time benefit many classes of the community and the same money that thus bec becomes omesa a temporary blessing assumes the form of permanent wealth and makes the whole community richer for it helps to pay the burden of taxation which otherwise must rest wholly upon the masses our stone quarries ought to be developed ve loped their products will be shipped abroad as soon as they become better known at home aej this can best be accomplished by using them let the day of the shanty and andee ahe anoble close and give a welcome to the dawn of an era of more pretentious and durable structures of ef brick and stone |
