California has a strong hold on our canning industry and our iron, and has now taken over ice cream. Colorado controls much of our copper mining, coal, hydrocarbons and telephones. In both Salt Lake City and Ogdon, and in other cities and towns to a e smaller extent, the Utahan is giving way to the men and corporations from without. Why this condition, may well be asked 7 There can be but one answer, and that is that Utah men are not alive to their opportunities. It is not lack of ability it is not the lack of money. It is the lack of progressive spirit. It is because our people are too well satisfied with themselves, Utah people could have organized companies, placed the bonds and kept the common stock and thereby kept the dividends. They did not do it, or in cases where they did they sold out as soon as they were offered an attractive price. They did not, and do not, look into the future as have men from other states. Happily for Utah as a state, it is fortunate that outside capital comes in for investment, but it would have been far better if our people had gone afield and brought it in. Theh, after eying the interest on their bonded indebtedness, they would have had the surplus earnings. But they did not do it, and most of our resources, in dustries and utilities have slipped from us to enrich more enterprising communities. Utah had a long start over adjoining states, but who can point with Eride to Utah owning and controlling and industries. Utah offers rare opiwrtunity to men and companies who. are looking for industrial investments, and it is hoped such men will come into Utah and investigate our resources and opportunities. Our people will not develop our resources and seem to be willing to stand aside and let others do it. So come along, Mr. Investor; we have unlimited resources, especially those resources the Pacific const is in need of. Come in and take your place on the ground floor. Place your bonds, and, after paying th; interest, keep the profits in the form of dividends. Utah seems to be satisfied no matter what happens so long as she gets your tax money and the payroll. With electric power, coal, natural gas, copper, iron, water, transportation, cheap land, best of living conditions, Utah is the best bet in the world for live, progressive industrial investors.

What is this wonderful thing so frequently referred to and to whom is it restricted? Apparently, some believe that it is a gift offered to only a favored few who, immediately upon receiving it, are borne upward by its wonderful qualities to the height of fortune without further effort upon their part. Too often, those imbued with such a belief wait patiently with idle hands, contentedly dreaming of future success, each confident 'that the God of Chance, at whose shrine they worship, will choose him as the recipient of that wonderful gift by which he will be enabled to reach the height o ' fame. Thus they dream on. Daily tasks, forced upon them through the necessity of living, are lightly regarded, held in contempt, and accomplished with no other thought than to em them in the quickest and easiest way possible. As time goes on and old age creeps upon them, the dreams fade to be replaced by the realization of wast ed lives.

Previously, this company In furnishing service to outlying subscribers had paid at least $35.00 of the cost of construction for extending a new line from an isolated ranch or farm to the nearest existing telephone pole line. Under the new practice now effective, the company will pay $75.00 and in some cases' more, when conditions warrant. This is simply another affirmation of this companys continuing effort to provide a service that will enable anyone anywhere to talk by telephone with anyone else anywhere else.
