C. T. banquet at the. Hotel Roberts last night, H. O. Jackson of Denver, who is moving the $200,000 plant of the National Pump company from Colorado to Provo, got up to spill a few mouthfuls of arresting thought. For the benefit of the visitors from the intermountain country here in convention assembled, it might be well to recall and repeat what he said, because it is a thing that the traveling men should remember and tell again wherever they go.

He said that in spite of the fact that they were: making iron in" Pueblo, he paid the same price for it as he would have to pay in Pittsburg, he Pennsylvania. He said that it began to dawn on him that this was an economic loss, andand decided to come over here where they will soon be making iron from their own mines . where there wont be any Pittsburg differential. t ' ) -- ' - ! to be produced at Columbia theater tonight under auspices of U.

To follow; oat his thought one n is taken into a vast field of speculation that means no more or less than the Industrial eman-cipatio- j t of the West from the East, and the designation of all the territory west of the . Rocky mountains as the Pacific Coast empire. ( I: Through all the years of Utahs existence we have always looked to the Eastern states as our source of sqpply and demand. Freight rates have always been predicated on that, country fias struggled under a handicap that! would have stranthought, and the ihtermountain We have paid bountiful not the for were it production we were able to achieve gled it, even most and on have both grown rich at our though great corporations things, ways freight we have prospered.. expense, ft I The dawn of a new era is at hand. We have at last awakened to the fact that there are millions on the Pacific Coast who eat, work and sleep as do the millions of the East. We have also found out that the Pacific Coast is reaching for our trade and our products. We are seeing the birth of the one basic industry! in thi3 state the melting of iron and the fabrication of steel. Our soil raises everything that we need to; eat and some of the things that we wear. Furthermore, we can trade and barter with the Pacific Coast for what we may be lacking here. There is money, enough out there to develop every resource that we have and we can ship our g long-hacharge.
