Show Eastern Capitalist Highly Impressed "You have a wonderful valley here find your future prospects look exceedingly ex-ceedingly fine. With your climatic conditions, soil and water and with that magnificient sugar factory operating, you have the neucles for making a wonderful, rich mid progressive pro-gressive community. What I have already seen convinces me that your prospects are splendid and there is no reason why Gunnison Valley should not rank with the best in the west. I observe, though, that much of your land is not planted to beets and much of it is idle. Get your valley populated with a progressive set of farmers, cut your tracts to 40 acres, and I dare say that within five years you will have one of the wealthiest and most happy classes of people to be found west of the Rocky Mountains." Thus spoke J. B. Tipton, a prominent retired mer- chant from Tipton, Mo., to a News man yesterday. Mr. Tipton, accompanied accom-panied by Mrs. Tipton, is here for a three week's visit with Mr. and Mrs. Ira Overfelt. They came in from Goshen the first of the week and were accompanied by Mr. Over-felt Over-felt and family who went to meet them. "I have made several trips west," continued Mr. Tipton, "but this is my first tour of Southern Utah and I want to tell you that I am very favorably impressed. True, the entire en-tire nation has been depressed for several years past as a result of the world war. America, though, as usual will work out of the chaotic state and sooner or later all will be normal. Finances are today easier and farmers are being better enabled en-abled to secure finances to carry on their industry. With this relief a great burden has been lifted and and there is no reason why the sailing sail-ing should not be better and more encouraging. Confidence by all and a determination to restore the nation to normalcy will aid materially in bringing back the good old times." |
