One Man, Up from the

the tall trees of City Hall oiuare at Ogden
the rnMn redbreasts were building their
homes, anil over the hill, amid the apple
Muoina of Davis county the meadowlarks
were calling from the lush green of the
alfalfa field. Here and there the short
cropped lawns of emerald were studded
t.y the Fleam of a dandelion like hits of
tor at scattered on the green velvet of a
Jeweler's window. In the canyon the high
water of the spring was laughing between
the high walls, the echoes breaking like
glass against the cliffs, all gnarled and
turned, topsy turvy, by the writhing earth
In the post palezolc times.
I was In Utah. Away out here, beyond
the Platte, and over the rolling lands of
Wyoming. I had alighted at Ogden. A
commission to enlighten all the world
about I'tah, was my Job. And hero were
tbe blue sklos, from which the early snow
had almost disappeared, leaving, here and
there, a crevasse, and here and there the
edge of a precipice, still white for all the
world like giant buns of ginger bread,
with the Iring scattered over their brown
crusts. Mine waa the task of knowing
about It. Mine waa the task of learning
of thla vast empire of the Intermountaln
west, so long neglected by the people of
the midwest In their useless search for
new homes; so long
neglected for the
Pacific coast. Flor
ida, the southwest
and Canada. And
one night. In the
cafe of the Reed
hotel, above the
hum of voices I
heard two men
talking of the or
ganization of a
new fruit canning
company. And on
of them replied to
an earnest ques
tion: "If we could get

night, some men were discussing a great
Irrigation entorprl.se which was to take
the waters of the Sevier river and distri
bute the flow of It over some 30.000 acres
of farming and fruit land. It was to be
an enterprise of great magnitude. And
among those who talked of It one man
stood out as the m:iu with the Idea.

At Provo, where the United States gov

lands with waters from the Strawberry
basin, there Is a man who promotes mines.
And on tha way to' Sprtngville there are
great hills, tho rock of which is hifhly
mineralised. There one night I sat at the
Hotel Roberts, at dinner. At the next
table three men were discussing an organi
sation to take one of the prospects from
the man who had discovered It and make
of It a copper mine. "It Is no market for
copper stocks now," said one. "It Is not
a time to organise a mine,' said another.
"It Is most difficult to get men to listen
to any sort of promotion," said another.
But the out among them who Beamed most

"I wonder . Would Odell take an lnter

who amount to much. Much business
of every character la transacted there.
And one evening, as I sat In one of the
cabinet partlculler, I heard four men In
the next compartment discussing the or
ganisation of a bank. Plfftcultlcs on dif
ficulties were piled; one objection on top
of another, by the three men who did the
most of the talking. Hut after the space
of a half hour, a deeper voice among them
boomed out:
"Admitting all you say to be true. It
could be made to win If a connection
could be made with Odell's Implement
company."
Kw of Ills History.
Ixng before I had seen this man Odell,
I knew of him; knew something of his
history and had felt the power and Influ
ence of the man. One day, passing along
the street, I was attracted by a knot of
men gathered about an Immense Franklin
motor. The hood was raised and the six
engines, air cooled, were still giving off the
little wavelets of heat. A mechanician
stood by, oiling It, testing there, and tight
ening somewhere else. As I Idled with the
rest, the great street doors of the four
story building In front of which I was
standing, swung open, and a white polled,
almost athletic figure, with a quick step,
came across the wide .pavement. The ton
neau door was open by the time he had
reached It; the engines began to purr;
down went the queer French hood; the
driver, at his wheel, received a low-toned
direction, and the splendid "toy" moved
off. The little knot dissolved. But one
among them made a remark to the occu
pant of the car and I knew It was Odell.
For a minute my thought was of this
great state, In which the erect figure In
the tonneau of the receding machine was
of such Importance. I wondered, half un
consciously, at the extraordinary develop
mon that hns taken place; that he has
helped to bring about. The erect back and
square shoulders, disappearing In a little
cloud of dust, recalled odd bits of history.
I had heard here and there In my pilgrim
age about the Inter-mountaln west. He had
pioneered for Utah and the new west. He
himself had wrought changes; had helped
to make history for this vast country be
yond the Rockies. I knew all this; had
heard It over and over and my thoughts
were of him, as I walked amid the crowd
on the streets, many of them a holidaying;
but all of them Intent, In the concentrated
manner of those who seek fortune In the
sunset lands.
lie Came Years A no.
Fifty years before, when the mode of
transportation west of the Missouri river
was stage coaches or ox teams and the
pony express carried the mall. George T.
Odell. with his parents, crossed the vast
plains between Omalja and Salt Lake City
In Captain Homer uncan's Independent
company, arriving In rialt Lake City Sep
tember 80, 1861. Farming, railroading and a
variety of other employment waa Odell's
lot until 1884, at which time he, with others,
laid the foundation for the present Con
solidated Wagon and Machine company, of
which he Is and has been for many years
the general manager. This Institution is
conceded to be the greatest retail business
tain west. It Is an organization with mil
lions Invested; has In excess of a half
hundred stores covering all of Utah, south,
eastern Idaho, parts of western Wyoming
and eastern Nevada, and all of this is
largely' due to Odell's efforts during the
last twenty-five years.
Three days later 1 met and talked with

Eagles lloostera' Carnival.
The i:alt I'.ooster s carnival, to be helc
June 5 to 10, Inclusive, Is arousing the en
thusiasm of the members of the Kaglea'
order lu this section. It will be held cn
ti e circus grounds at Twentieth and Paul
ftretta. where sixteen big carnival shows
will hold forth for a full week. The car
nival is organized by Benson aerie, one
of the most progressive In the country. By
strenuous effort tho lkr.son aerie has
erected a cosily and well-equipped home,
which was destroyed by fire last winter.
The aurle was not able to carry anything
like an adequate amount of Insurance on
its building, because of the nearness of
two lumber yards. In one of which, the fire
flatted, and the loss of the Fagle auditor
ium m i great loss to the enterprising
suburb as well as to the aerie members.
The object of the Eagle Rooster's carni
val la to raise part of the money neces
sary to build a new hall and enable the
aerie to carry on Its work. Since the ftre
new members have been taken In at every
meeting, principally from the farming com
munity about lienson, because ef the grit

each and all of them because of the greater
of any character In all the Intermuun
tise and service they thus get. contributing
to the greater and greater growth of the
business conceived, created and now held
together by George T. Odell. From the hills
where the road through Emigration Can
yon opens on the plateau above this city
of lOO.uoO people, he had come; bad come
when the present beautiful city was a
group of ten acre farms; ndobo huts and
bain yards. Within his own life time there
hns grown up here this magnltlcent metrop
olis whose assessed valuation exceeds $U0,
000,000 of gold. There are sky-scrapers,
banks, great mercantile houses, miles upon
miles of paved streets, theaters, great ca
thedrals and churches of every denomina
tion, standing on the earth where, when
he first came, the pigs were rooting, the
cocks crowing, and the homing kine were
clanging their vesper bells.
Great Men Avoid Drtall.
And Just here it Is worth while to make
a note. There are a lot of those old copy
book maxims that are "very much to the
blink." I remember writing, In the pained,
cramped hand of a school boy: "Genius Is
the capacity for taking Infinite pains." It
Is nothing of the sort. These big men,
really big men, avoid detail. They give
the other man a chance. They give far
more time to picking good lieutenants than
they do to messing with the little things
of a business, even In its time of growing
pains. It is the same with that other bit
of verso we used to declaim with such ac
tion about "The Boy Stood on the Burning
Deck," and that other one about "Hang
On." George T. Odell would never have
wasted good time standing on the burning
deck. And Instead of hanging on he Just
kept moving; kept moving with a fine and
dandy little dance always upward, always
onward. Throughout my interview with
him, he made this clear. He was continu
ally referring to the fact that other men
had done tho work. And he seemed to
believe it himself.
He called them by name; knew when
their test had come; their time of trial;
knew when they had to show themselves
fit for the game. He seemed to know the
method by which each man overcame his
trial, fighting for his place of power among
men. He seemed to regard thla business
made up of human entitles much the same
as an englncman looks upon his locomotive.
Each man was a part, with here and there
a controlling piece of mechanism; ant ex
haust, a governor or a throttle.
"Gib" Wright, Ills Pnrt.
There was "Gib" Wright. Mayhap I
will be blamed for picking one man from
and determination shown by the aerie not
to be discouraged.

business and trained to It by Mr. Odell,
he has come to be the successful general
of the second division of the largest com
petitive business throughout all of this
boundless west.
Only One Underlying Motive.
In the mind of George T. Odell there Is
one underlying motive in this business that
overshadows all else. That is the actual
material development of Utah and Idaho;
these two beautiful states Jn the inter
mountaln west; these states Where God has
done so much and man so little.
Not only does he know and think, but he
acts his belief that he and his associates
can afford to spend time and money for the
development of his fellows, sure that their
growth will most certainly promote his
own spiritual. Intellectual and financial re
ward. "You can't do business with people unless
you have the people to do business with,"
he explosively remarks. "You've got to
have people; lots of them, to do any real
business."
"And when you have lots of people they
must be helped; materially and practically
helped to get a start." That's his creed;
the big policy of the big business lie han

Provo canyon and down the slopes to

were when I first came here," he en

had come in ox carts. They had tramped
the distance across the plains, suffering
Incredible hardships. Some were without
clothing; many without shoes; but moved
by a desire .for spiritual peace, they came
overland to this valley, then a desert, and
pitched their tents, without friends, prop
erty or money. They were forced to wrench
this country from nature In her most un
natural mood In this rainless country; they
had to build their Irrigation ditches before
they could raise a hill of potatoes. They
had to stake out their ranch claims rudely
so that their property rights could not be
invaded. On a less fertile soil they would
have starved. Only the extraordinary
wealth of this country made their survival
possible."
Facts About the Mormons.
And right here Is a paragraph I want to
father. As a curious newspaper corre
spondent, I have lived with these Mormons.
I have been In their homes, at their theaters,
their dance halls, and at their ward meet
ing houses; 1 have talked to them of the
big progressive hurrying world beyond
their ken. Better than any man that ever
came to Utah I have been permitted to get
at the Inside facts. From the morning I
made a little "Help Talk" to the students
of Brlgham Young university of Provo to
the night I spoke In the ward meeting
house at Oakley, Idaho, I have picked and
gleaned and absorbed. And I know It was
not the Mormon desire to practice polygamy
that brought the pioneers to Utah. I know
that at no time did more than two men
out of 100 embrace and practice polygamy.
It was their desire to worship God In their
own way that caused them to make great
sascriflces of friends, property and wealth
to endure the hardships of the winter trip
across the plains. It was a religion spelled
with a big "R" that sent them to this In
hospitable wilderness. Peter the Hermit
with his Crusades, was not more sincere
than they. And the Mormon church as a
church as a people have done more to re
claim these vacant spaces than any other
influence in all of our American clvillza
tlon. A great halabaloo has been made of
the political danger of the 275,000 Mormans;
a body of people Including men, women
and children, not numerically so great as
one of the larger Chicago or New York
wards. Much danger these patient people.
Pitiful in their Isolation, pitiful In the op
pression which has made them alertly sus
picious of the stranger, can be to this
great nation; made up of every country,
every shade of color, every sort of political
and religions belief, gathered from tha four
quarters of the earth. To me It seems
shameful that they may not be allowed to
go their way peacefully out here in Utah;
building their homes, educating ' their
children and making their two blades of
grass grow where but one grew before.
They reclaimed the state to production.
They raised the flag common to all of us
above its hills and valleys; they have
faithfully striven. ainoeroly believed.

resolve that sent Roger Williams Into the
Rhode island wlnderness; that brought the
Roman Catholic, Charles Calvert. lord
Baltimore across the sens. Industrious and
fervidly devout they have made a splendid
onsls In a wonderful wilderness. And no
newsboy has greater "right" to his corner
than they have to the respect of mankind
and the peaceful possession of their rights;
rights as Inherently theirs under our con
stitution as were those of Luther or Calvin.

"Utah has 22,Oitino acres of arable land,"
said Mr. Odell. "Of that only 10 per cent Is
under cultivation. The balance Is here to
be grasped by the man with daring to
bring him and tha power to work.
"In Sevier county, the state of Utah has
Just completed a great reservoir and cnnal
project which will reclaim 30,000 acres of
land. In San Tete county. the farmers are
converted to Intensive commercial orchard
ing and thousands of acres are being set
to trees. Salt Iake county Is growing;
farmers are coming every month. W'eher
county has seen a general increase In popu
lation within the last two or three years.
This Is the county In which Ogden, the
second largest city of the state and the
main gateway east and west on the Union
Pacific railway, is located. In Millard, the
largest county in tho state, there are hun
dreds of settlors moving In, some of them
from our own cities go back to the farm
every year. In this county, there are sev
eral big Irrigation projects, notably the
Sevier valley, the Delta and the Rich lands
and the soil cannot be excelled. In the
Gunnison valley a number of private com
panies, near Gunnison and Sallna are oper
ating In vast tracts of land, which are
sold on easy terms to settlers. In the
Virgin valley, in the Kanab valley and in
the Dlxlo country, tho semi-tropical clim
ate of Utah, there are other companies
which own and control great opportunities
for the young man; not only In farms and
orchards, but in town sites. New rail
roads are contemplated and one will shortly
be In process of construction from a point
on the Salt Lake-Ims Angeles route, going
south through Cedar City and other points,
opening up the Dixie country, which Is
about 400 miles south of Salt Lake City,
and where the palms grow and semi-tropical
fruits are raised; the most healthful
winter climate prevails and It Is predicted
that with the completion of the railroads
referred to, St. George will become popular
as a winter resort.
Wants Many More People.
"What Utah wants Is more people. There
Is an opportunity waiting with open arms,
, for every man, who will come here, no
matter what his line. There are cities in
this state in which there is but one physi
cian. Where one merchandise store does a
business of $300,000 a year.
"There is no doubt that Utah Is a great
state, and is to be yet a greater state.
Some of our men have been sent to the
United States senate through the efforts
, of the Mormons. Others of them have be
come great business men and yet others
have amassed enough to erect these great
business blocks; these beautiful homes, that
go to make Salt Lake City unique among
our American towns.
"Yes, Utah wants more people. It has the
resources to supply them with food and
to make them rich. Grain, hay, food stuffs
afe used in enormous quantities by the
men who do the work in stope and pit
and level of these deep shafts out of which

"The farmer In this country does not
have to trade his produce. He Is always
sure of a demand In mo?t Instances close
enough to a market that he can haul his
crop In, dispose of it and return to his
home In one day.
Opportunity lleri" Smiles.
"Opportunity smiles everywhere and there
is hardly any limit to what a man can do.
At Ogden a family use the water fall from
an Irrigation ditch: lighting their home
with electricity, furnishing running water
throughout the house, operating the churn
and all other necessary dairy nnd fi'rm ma
chinery with the electric power, which ho
Is enabled to secure by the water from this
Irrigation ditch and that makes for an
easy life. This place contain" about twenty
acres, and yet It yields nn income of more
than $ii.w per annum. Near Uoj . In Davis
county, another farmer has one and one
half acres of cherry trees. He ricked an
average of l.l'O pounds of cherries from
each of his sixty trees InM summer, and
sold them for S cents n pound. The trees
ate planted forty to the arte. And from
that one acre and a half, that farmer re
ceived gross $4,8i0.
"There Is a great demand for apples in
this state. For example, as showing thla
demand, W. M. Roylance nt Provo, Utah,
lias been buying apples on tin- Pacific
coast all this wlner. He was compelled
to do so in order to supply the eastern de
mand which he controls. Were there more
apples raised In Utah county, or through
out the state of Utah, for that matter,
Roylance could use every box of them.
Turkeys are Imported from the cast, from
Missouri and from Kansas every year.

Success Awaits Kverr Man.
"This much is certain; success awaits
every man who comes to the west; that
the men who have sense and daring and
freedom of thought to Ignore all tho Mor
mon nonsense these muck raking maga
zines are printing, are the ones who will
prosper amazingly. They are the ones
who will see the same things occur out here
that their fathers saw take place In Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas. Lands will In
crease In value; farming areas will be set
tled; villages, towns and cities will grow.
Here great fortunes, like these of the
Crelghtons, the Paxtons. will be amassed,
simply because the fellows who come will
make It possible to build them.
"We are welcoming every stranger who
comes to this country. We are eager to
have him come and succeed. We'll do as
well by htm as good business allows. We
have reversed Horace Greeley's advice, by
turning It Into an Invitation. We say;
Come west, young man, come west.' "
A department head came in with a
basket full of mall and telegrams and Mr.
Odell said to me, "What more can I say
to you, have I told you all that you want
to know?" I rose to go. "Tell 'em all
to come," he said, "We can use train loads
of 'em without crowding."
And I went out into the mild May noon.
And even now aa I write I have a picture
of him, bowed over the huge pile of corre
spondence, the busy secretary at his elbow,
the oluttered roll top desk, the telephones,
the respeotful department head.
And so it was I left him: poring over his
letter.
