Show The Great Advancement WE LOOK upon the organization to build the hotel on Monument corner as the most hopeful movement that has been sprung in this city for a long time past, for it seems to mean that the effort to hold Salt Lake City In leading strings has been aban-doned, aban-doned, that at last the thought tlmt Rnif t i, can no longer be held back, has become fixed in minds that for years did not want to see it grow. We congratulate these people on tho change; we congratulate the city for it means general prosperity. And this should only bring more praise to the few who during the past four years have been showing their faith and who reasoning reas-oning from cause to effect, decided that to Invest money on modern Improvements in this city must win. At the head of these it is right to place Mr. Newhouse, for it took pluck on his part to go down to what looked like lower Ma'n street and begin to perform his miracles there. The Judge building Is another superb monument to courage and faith and good taste. The Mining Exchange and now ' Commercial Club wore in 1 the same line and the decisive factor was the proposed Newhouse hotel. With all these under ' way it gave to the property-owners on upper Main street the alternative to move or suffer ' a serious depreciation of their property, but at ' tho same time the truth was made clear that if they did not move, the movement would be somewhere else, in order to keep up with the city's increasing demands, for Salt Lake has I turned the center and is moving on now without a halt or jar. Its fame is spreading, the belief ' I ! that it is to be the great city of this interior j is becoming fixed in the adjacent states; already Montana and Colorado men are responding in force the onward, upward career of the city v was never before half so well assured. But there is' yet a world of work to be done. Really the work is as yet hardly begun. So many things are needed. A great sanitarium in t which the virtues of both the lake and the springs can be utilized; new drives needed; the (high-line boulevard; improved parks; new and varied manufactories, more business places; more fine residences; soon more schoolhouses; a new High School; and other divisions of the t city to be brought into nearer rapport with the more thickly settled portions. Young men, you will not live here long enough to see all. the needed improvements made. |
