Show GOOD WORK; MORE NEEDED. As manv citizens as possible should' visit the new federal building on Main i street while they- can do so without much disturbing the occupants. It is a very noble structure, it and the Packard library are the two most notable not-able features of Salt Lake attractions completed this year. One is an object lesson of the care of a generous government gov-ernment to a -sovereign state: the other the materializing of a generous thought in the brain of a. country-loving citizen who would fain see our country the foremost in the world in all that de-vates de-vates man. and our people the foic- ; most among nations. ! "Both structures should be visited and carefully inspected to be fully appre- , dated. j By the way, we were told thrc years and two years ago that the government had made an appropriation, which, in a i few weeks, would be available, of more than $1,000,000 with which to build new quarters a I Camp Douglas. A little of I this money was received and some j needed improvements were made. ' Later it was reported that most cc the appropriation had been diverted to j Wyoming. "Montana and other states, j A grand effort should be made to ob- ! tain another appropriation, for no fort is more central than Douglas, from none can troops be moved more rapidly and cheaply in case of emergency, none other has a more healthy climate or more natural attractions. It should be at least a three-regiment station, and it would be wisdom on the part of the government to establish a preparatory military school here. A student, summer sum-mer and winter, could put in 1." per cent more hours at study than can be done at Leavenworth, Kan., where one of the big training schools -is established. estab-lished. It is a better site than Vancouver Van-couver because of the incessant rain fall there; better than Fort Harrtsou at Helena or Fort Russell ct Cheyenn-.-. because of the excessive cold at both those stations: if. is but a day anil a hlt from eiJhc-r Los Angeles. San Francisco, Fran-cisco, Portland nr Omaha it hn-;''- everything ev-erything in its favor: nothing ag'Hr.st it. Th?n it is but just that it .-houil be made a tirst-class post. Tho government govern-ment is strengthening its defenses on both coasts and in the Philippines; the interior states are being well remembered, remem-bered, and Utah is about third or fourth in producing that kind of wt-altii which is imperishable and which is a steady reinforcement of the government's govern-ment's exchequer in both peace and war, and is entitled to just recognition.
