Show H A POINTER. Hi In "contemplating the boom" that HB is coming to Salt Lake city as a result Hh 1 of the many forces now at work in HB I favor of that city, Goodwin's Weekly HB j offers timely suggestions that arc tin- BBB doubtedly well worth the while. With BBM tho building of so many railroads, tho BB work of the "Sec America First Or- BBfj ganlzatlon," and tho opening of many BBj! big mines In Utah and Nevada, all can BBJj see a great increase of population for BBJ; Salt Lake city and tho whole inter- BBJf mountain country, and Goodwin's BBJ Weekly urges preparation for them, fll at the same time pointing ways of BBJ making money in tho preparation. BHj Tho part of particular interest to BBb , local readers Is In the following: HMl, "With the work to bo done, with HBT' the increased population which that BB1 ll work wl" DrinK llcrc lll merchants BBS1' who sell food should, so far as thoy BBlN can, bo making plans to receive am- pie supplies of staple food at Just as BBH reasonable llgures as possible. For HHj! Utah, under present conditions, can- Hhbbhhmhhi ' '"""""'':""'"'"' ." not supply the vegetables, tho ordinary ordin-ary meats, the poultry or more than a moiety of the fruits that will be required. re-quired. And Utah farmers should get a new impetus to mako thclrfarms more productive. For Instance, tho cry Is already raised that celery Is Decerning De-cerning scarce, and the price Is liable to advance. That Is a reproach to Utah farmers. At present prices, thcro must be a pro lit of quite. $100 per acre on celery, and It Is not yet New Years. Every day there Is unloaded un-loaded bushels and bushels of Imported Import-ed onions and cabbage before the wholesale stores. This is a direct Impeachment Im-peachment of the Industry, thrift and intelligence of Utah farmers, for thcro is a prollb of from 1 100 bo $.100 on every aero of onions or cabbages raised hi this vicinity. Again, with just a little lit-tle effort, a little Intelligent work, tho egg and poultry producb of this chain of valleys from abovo Logan to beyond Provo, mlRht be multiplied by four. Again, many old orchards which produce pro-duce only inferior fruit remain year after year ungraftcd and unattci ded, which is a perpetual evidence of tho laziness and utter want of foresight of tho owners." These are not Idle suggestions. It is in prcpardncss that most men have made their fortunes and only In that will fortunes be made In the future by most men. |
