hibition numerous and varied as would otherwise
have been the case, still the most casua observer
could not but note and be grati6ed With the abundant
evidence OF the industrial prosperity Of Territory
The mechanical skill OF our artisans, so far a. ms
terial would permit has also been assduously applied
to the home supply OF those necessaries and comforts
80 essential to welordered civilized society, thus
freeing us in goodly degree from the heavy tax Of
imported goods yet there is an ample and ever-ia-
creasng demand for the products Of their labor at very
liberal rates OF compensation which will doubtless
afford all necessary inducements for home manufac-
ture TO the full extent OF the materials in our pos
session. except perhaps, in the article OF iron. They
also, in common with all other classes OF our pro-
ducers, share pIoportionaly in the benefits arising
from the annual exhibition Of their handiwork In our
Fairs.
In some instances especially 40 in relation TO the
sugar cane cotton wool and dye stuff, the want Of
the raw materials has been serlOus drawback. IL
therefore affords me the greater qualification TO be able
TO inform you that there Is fair prospect at IN cary
date that our wants in those particulars will be amply
supplied independent of the burdens Of importation.
The Sorghum Chinese sugar cane has been general
" and successfully cultivated in small patches IN
great variety Of soil throughout many OF our settle
ments, and has been proved to be well adapted 10 a
wide latitu of our climate. This plant an almost
invaluable acquisition, being siDgularly proihc IN seeu

hoped that our friends abroad will take the earliest
steps 10 supply this want. Our quantity OF wool Is
still far short of adequate supply, chiefly caused by
a measurably cupable inatentiOn TO the care of so
valuable n class Of stock is sheep, and to de-
pending too much upon foreign supplies which are at
any time liable to be beyond our reach. Your In.
iuence, cOupses and example can do much toward
encouraging the production of wool and fax, that
spinning wheels and looms be not compelled to stand
idle and the people caused to suffer through their own
improvdence in affairs within their reach aud compre-
henson.
The manufacture of iron has not been prosecuted
with that success so fondly anticipated and so much
desired but an engine having been furnished to the
company, it is expected that all compatible attention
will be given to supplying an article which enters so
largely into our various daily operations. In fine,
there is no known limit to the resources kindly pro-
vided in the elements surrounding us no tramnel upon
the skill and energies of the people to hinder any IRON
putting forth their talents to the fullest stretch for en-
rching, identifying and making heavenly the noun
tain and desert region in which our lot Is cast
Our schools, to those unacquainted with the facts
and circumstances connected Herewith may seem not
have received that attention which their Importance
dem ands: at the same time each Ward throughout the
schoo-hOuses commensurate with the number OF pu-
pills TO be accommodated; and proportionably more
has been done in Utah for the true enlightenment OF
the rising generation than has ever been accomplished
under like conditions in any other portion of the
Union. And aside from the stated hours and exercises
of schools, education is constantly attanable from
books, from conversation, from reflection, at home,
abroad in highways and byways, and as its develop
ments mplan the desire tor still higher attanmenfs,
academies colleges and universities will arise at the
summoning wand of increasing wealth and leisure for
learned requirements until ere long, We shall az lar
outstrp the world in every branch of true science as
we now do in that knowledge which savoreth OF eter-
nal lives. In this great cause, also, your influence
and example can be made productive OF much gO0d,
even though your judgment Should LEAD you: during
your present session. to waive direct legislation upon
this subject. ,
Repoits from the Auditor and Treasurer, which
have the honor herewith to transmit, will furnish you
the requisite information touching the c-nutlon VI tue
financial affairs Of the Territory.
The parent Government exercises general super

which my judgment dictates to me the wisest most

adopted.

bids for carrying the mail the route between this

contract for that route was awarded to Mr.. Hiram
