Show H " Progressing Utah THIS is a winsome season in Utah. For days the skies have been amber and the sun by BB day and the moon by night in their chariots B of light have ridden in their spheres and filled H the earth with gladness. The fruit trees are in H bloom; the gardens have already commenced to H yield their early delicacies, the snows on the B mountain crests are daily retreating further and M further away the spring is in full radiance M around us. The sheepmen are shearing the heaviest B fleeces ever seen; more acres than ever before B are being planted; the old mines are yielding B their full quotas and new mines are being opened M a prosperous year holds out its promises in M every direction. In this city the construction B work which is transforming the place is moving B with constantly accelerated momentum; the B rhythm of industry is swelling louder and louder fl and fair structures are rising on all sides. That B prosperity is general is seen by the numbers that B throng the amusement places; while the thous- B ands of children that every morning throng the m school houses are guarantees of the multitude of B happy homes in the city. The outlook for the H city and state is most winsome; there is no ap- B parent reason why Utah should not continue to B expand in every desirable direction indefinitely. B We rather think that more money is paid in B wages in Utah than in any other state of a like Bk number of inhabitants and that means more and k more homes, and where a state has its mining bT and agriculture so evenly balanced as has Utah, K and over all has a climate which permits the ut- I most exertion on the part of its people, unless K unnatural causes are at work to defeat the nat- 1 ural energies- of the people, progress must be the H result. Taking an account of stock in Utah ought L to show more and more progress for years to h come. |
