The reservation hereby established shall be known as The Manti Forest Reserve.

Prosperity does not stop at State lines, and neither does adversity.

Far from agriculture properly exhausting the land, it is always the sign of a vicious system of agriculture if the land is rendered poorer by it.

You literally made the wilderness blossom as the rose.

The greatest lesson which the American body politic need take to heart, at the beginning of the twentieth century, is that it is out of the question permanently for our people to progress save on lines that tell for the progression of all.

I am particularly glad to have the chance to speak to you here in this city, in Utah, this morning.

The reservation hereby established shall be known as The Logan Forest Reserve.

After the farmer has had the farm for his life he should be able to hand it to his children as a better farm than it was when he had it.
