zion's Board Of Trade is an associa-
.:oD Of which little IS heard except at its
san,;-annual meetings, and the fact is
NOT generally known that the different
branches maintain an active correspond
onca with each other, and that all ques-
tions Of a business nature of interest to
Tho community are continually under
consideration. We quote from the ar

the aims and objects of the board.
The objects of this association are, to
maintain a commercial exchange; to

"onaTalIv known that the Board of
fTade was the agency which brought
tbe Utah Northern TO its senses at the
time the heavy freight charged on coal
IN Cache Valley raised such q storm
throughout that district. The inquiry
into The feasibility of Mr.. Stayner's
sugar projects now being con-

the Board of Trade, and Mr.. Weber,
secretary of the board, yesterday in

were being taken to secure an outlet for
the grain surplusage by inducing the
railroads 70 grant 8 favorable tariff. Ion
outgoing as well as incoming frelghts.
There is very little that Is now to be
said on the grain question. a promln-
emit dealer informed TIE HERALD on
Friday that wherever it was possible
the farmers were holding their wheat,
but sacrificing their oats and barley.
The impression is deep-seated that the
only solution to our difficulty rests with
the railroads. =,
A prominent merchant yesterday said |

telling comment as to how Utah, IS
treated by the railroads can be afforded
than the fact that California ships her
wheat east and over the water TO Len
don. while here in Utah, nearly q thou
sond miles nearer the east, we ind no
outlet for our surplus grain.
NIT. C.. Armstrong was endeavOring
TO obtain a rate from here to Park City
last week on a carload of potatoes, |
which could be sold there at fair pro
fit If q rate of 20 cents a hundred could |
be obtained. The roads asked % cents, |
and the matter fell through for the pres |
ent. The rate asked for will be given If I
