"WHATS IN A NAME?"
A Leading Manufacturer COncisely
Answers the Query.

Among the many branches of Amer
lean industry in which a great deal of
capital is invested, and in which there is
keen competition. leading manu-
facture is that of cigars. We find man
ufacturers and dealers at all times put
ting forth the most strenuous efforts to
establish some particular brand to the
detriment of others engaged in the
same line. A striking example of the
stability of the standard goods, as we'll
as showing that competition has not
injured him, is shown in the goods man
ufactured by Mr.. Sam Levy, the pro-
auctions OF whose factory are conceded
by the best judges to be fully equal, if
not superior, to those manufactured by
firms who are loudly proclaiming their
superiority over all Others. This house
has been Famous for over sixteen years,
and by JudIcious management its pro-
ducts have achieved reputation Sec
ond to none. The salesroom is
centrally located, and the trade COM
prises the best class of citizens. Mr..
Levy is well known as an honorable.
liberal and conscientious business man.
This year has been one of the most
prosperous ever experienced by Mr..
Levy, and his trade now extends in O
Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Oregon.
Buying direct from the growers in
Havana and Sumatra, he gains an ad-
vantage that none in this part of the
country possess. He still throws out his
old cry of defiance to any and all com
petitors, no matter who or where they
may be. He will still continue to keep
up the Famous cigar and other popular
brands too numerous to mention at
this time. III and 173 Main Street
Mr.. Levy will, early in the spring,
commence the erection of a mammoth |
factory. His present quarters are en-
tirely too small for his constantly in
creasing trade.

cent. duty, while ''lops" equally costly,
but partly manufactured, are called
waste and imported at duty of 10
cents, and until such things as these
are adjusted, we do not believe we shall
see better times in wool.
The increase in the focks ever wear
is considerable, at least when The sea-
sons are favorable. but the losses are
quite large and often severe; these, to-
gether with the number of sheep killed
for mutton to supply the home market,
and the sheep that are shipped to other
markets for mutton. make a big
hole in the yearly increase. II
Is estimated that during the
year 1887, over 100000 sheep
skins were handled by the Utah
dealers. As to the amount of wool
that will be raised in the future
we think it has now reached
its maximum. The country is being
settled up fast, and the railroad
lands that afforded ample range in the
past are being leased out for various
purposes. thus reducing the grazing
grounds to minimum. AS the facil,
tiles for past Iring sheep are thus re-
duced, the amount of wool raised will
necessarily be less.
We think the days of wild excitement
and speculation in wool are over, and
hereafter the wool business of our fair
Terri DRY will be conducted more on
business principles and less OH the wild
cat plan that has prevailed in the past.
In the east and west wool is sold on its
merits, per secured pound, the party
having the best wool getting the best
price, quality of course, being taken
into consideration. The same methods
Will have to b. adopted here or disaster

Of former years. NJ lch more might be
said on the subject that no doubt would |
prove interesting, bHt | will defer Tor

public than wool, while at the same
ime the sheep raisi ng and wool grow
ing interests of our Territory form one
of the largest sources of its revenue
Since the time when one of Utah's
leading inanciers used to shear sheep
for four ounces of wool per head until
the present, the wool interests of ou1
| Territory have undergone many
changes both as to quality and the
quantity raised, and the manner of
handling the product. In an early day
the Utah sheep were of very inferior
grade, natives" being the rule and not
the exception. The feecss were light
and brashy, the fiber coarse and hairy
so coarse, perhaps, that its density
would not exceed 400 to 600 to
the square inch and the fleece
so light that three and a.
half to four pounds per head would be
good showing. But a change has
come over the scene. until to-day we
have any amount of clips that will av.
erage over ten pounds to the head, and
OF which the fiber is so fine that it's
density will run up to, say 10000 to the
square inch. While speaking of the
weight OF wool per head, the writer
remembers seeing in Boston last season
(1887) clip of Jtae wool that average
fifteen bounds per head; however, real
estate" added largely to its weight, for
upon some of it being secured it was
found to have shrunk e. per cent. Just
think of it, eighteen pounds of clean
wool out of los pounds of the original
stuff, and yet we heard the owner state
that he had one of the best clips in
the country. This simply serves to
show that from the original extreme of
coarse wool and light feec9s we
have drifted to the other extreme of
fine wool and heavy and shrink g
feeces. Perhaps some of my readers |
VIII doubt this, but it is a fact, that
while few yeas ago our Territory |
was noted for its mediu n woods, and |
many of our people engaged IN wool
growing believe it still retains that
status, we have been breeding finer and
finer every season; our woods have been
shrinking more and more until in 1888
strictly medium wool raised II the Ter
r:tory. We have plenty of fine and
fine medium but very little of the !
"choice Utah medium" of ten years |
ago. Ten years ago the Utah woods |
would shrink As 10 60 per cent; now
they shrink 55 to 80 per cent. and in
some instances even more.
Year ago the buyers of wool in Utah
would not exceed half a dozen all
told mills included, while in 1888, twenty
one mills, dealers, and commission houses
were represented. The exact volume
Of the Utah clip is hard to determine
from the fact that woods raised in

how to utilize the vast deposits of iron
ore for which this Territory is famous,
and blast furnaces, rolling mills, ma
chine shops, car works. as we'll as iron

determined upon; a company (the
Utah Coal and Iron Company having
been incorporated with abundance of
capital at It's command for that pur-
pose. The site has already been selected
for the erection of suitable works, and
it will not be long before the heavens
are lighted up with the lurid glow of
Vulcan's fires, and the deep canyons of
the Wasatch range will echo and re-
echo the sound of the miners pick and
drill; the quiet of the peaceful valleys
will be enlivened with the musical ring
of busy anvils and the deep bass roar of
the blast furnaces, whilst the constant

surprising their most sanguine expec-
tations of wealth and prosperity.
The iron mines owned by the Utah
Coal and Iron Company cover all the
varieties of iron ore found in the Terri
tory, and range in richness from 60 to IA
per cent. of iron, producing, when
blended in the blast furnaces, the
strongest and most valuable iron that
has ever been produced in America,
and that at cost of less than one third
of an imported and inferior pig iron.
With the advantage of cheap coke, the
estimated cost of the production of pig
iron is less than $40 per ton, giving the
producer the Immediate command of
the home market and the advantage of
superior quality and cheapness that
must obtain the control of all the mar
ket west of Utah. With the reduced
cost of the raw material, a greater de-
mand for this product will result, with
the same certainty as effect from cause,
thus enlarging the field for the disposal

utah and Her Resources" and any
writer attempting to do anything like
justice to the Territory, and describe
the richness of her agricultural produc-
tons as well as the wonderful diversity
OF mineral deposits that are practically
inexhaustible and valuable beyond the
widest dream of the most venture
some pioneer in search of the treasures
of nature, essays no light task. Her
mines of gold, silver, copper and galena
have a worldwide reputation, whilst
the vast deposits OF the finest iron ores
in close proximity to inexhaustitle
fields of the finest quality of coal, point
to Utah as natures trusted custodian of
the destines of the entire western
world in so far as the products of blast
furnaces in all their diversity control
its commerce and compel the inflow of
the worlds wealth.
The commercial supremacy of Eng
land has largely been secured by her in
exhaustible deposits of superior coal,
and the proximity of iron ores that are
utilized in such a manner as to defv
successful competition. tits an infallible
maxim in the commercial world that
the cheaper will always supplant the
more expensive commodity, everything
else being equal, hence the constant
and sustained efforts of scientific men
to lessen the cost of all articles of COM
mon use.
The age we live in is eminently
AN IRON AGE.
No metal enters so largely into every
article of manufacture, or is more po-
tent in its effects upon the worlds
commerce than this metal. Like
Alladin's tabled lamp, it has only to be
turned upon the treasures of the uni
verse when every description of wealth
is attracted to it with the same irresis-
tlble impulse that the magnet draws to
itself all particles of iron or steel that
come within the radius of its wonderful
influence.
To attain this commanding position
however, 1T Is absolutely necessary that
an abundance of suitable and Cheap
fuel should be found within easv access
OF iron deposits, otherwise Vulcan's
forge would forever remain silent and
nature retain in its primitive state her
vast deposits of this most useful mineral
apparently thrown on with a lavish
hand from her grand laboratory, onIy
to be STUN bling block to progress and
a reproach to the wisdom of her work. |
It is not in this manner that her de-
signs in this Territory can be truthfuIIy
interpreted, for here we have given to
US in an equally liberal manner the
necessary fuel for reducing the iron ores
of Utah, and grasping the commercial
supremacy that such advantages must |
always command. In
