Book Description
Excerpt from Utah Gazatteer and Directory of Logan, Ogden, Provo and Salt Lake Cities, for 1884 It is with mingled fear and confidence that this work is sent forth - fear that it may not meet the standard of excellence which a commonwealth of such vast and varied resource merits; confidence that it will, nevertheless, give a broader view of the Territory and its capacity for development; and convince those who have now made permanent homes here, or who may hereafter determine to do so, that there awaits for Utah a glorious and imper ishable future. This work was begun by'the author and the publishers with the hope that the undertaking would be profitable; but not with this idea alone. The disposition manifested by many to belittle the capacity of Utah, and the indifference shown by many within her borders, and especially among her own offspring, those of young blood, active and restless temper ament, to ignore the inducements Utah offers all willing to make an honest effort to secure material prosperity, largely influenced the determination to publish such a work as this, and had a greater influence on its character while in course of preparation than will, in all probability, ever be known. The idea has ever been uppermost that no more favored country, the same area considered, is to be found on the globe; that true prosperity is not to be found in the circulating wealth of a nation, but in the abundance of resource that will justify the establishment and operation of industries suffi cient to keep its population employed, and upon the industry and the thrift of that population; and that, while the development of Utah may have been retarded by the abuse of moneyed power, whether in railroads or in other forms, it is impossible that injury of this kind can be permanent. The abiding and unshaken faith in the future of Utah, felt at the commencement of this work, has grown to a certain and immovable conviction. With these views it was impossible that interest should not be felt in showing to all, with all truth and candor, and with as much ability as those interested possessed, the basis first for the faith and later for the conviction which a greater acquaintance with the subject brought; and, vain though it may seem, we cannot avoid the expression of an opinion that. Any right-minded, level-headed young man, who will casually glance at the wealth of resource shown even briefly and crudely in this volume, must admit that no place can offer greater inducements to him if he desires permanently to live in any country, if he is but willing that his position in life shall be thatwhich honest effort and perseverance merit as a reward. Nor does the showing appeal with less force to men who have already won success in life's battle. It is impossible that any man of means, patriotic and public-spirited at heart, who calmlyand intelligently investigates the resources of this Territory, can fail to reach the conclusion that a world of opportunity is here and yet awaits the investment of means that will certainly bring profit; that industries and man ufactures are yet to be founded that will win for Utah a permanent prosperity that monopolies and adventurous speculators will find immovable, a rock upon which they must split should they sail against it. It is because of such thoughts, because Utah can never enjoy anything like certain prosperity until the utilization of her manifold resources places her ln aposition of inde pendence, that such a work as this has become necessary, and of equal value to the lab01 er the mechanic and the capitalist. All alike - though views as to the methods best calculated to bring about general prosperity are at variancel-are equally interested in the future of Utah.
