mess Notes.
W. Ii. Sells, who with the othel
members Of the advertising committee
has been doing such excellent work il
bringing the resources of this CITY anC
Territory to the notice Of the Eastern
people, returned home yesterday morn
irg and was met soon after his arrival
By a HERALD reporter. Mr.. Sells is
confident that a vast amount OF good
will result from the labors of the com
mittee and the. exposition car, He
and Mr.. Geoghegan visited over fifty
cities, besides g number of small places
where short stops were made and dis,
tributed about eight thousand of the
larger pamphlets gotten out by the
Chamber of Commerce, and something
like 10 900 of the smaller ones.
Mr.. Sells says that very strong in
terest IL Utah has been awakened in the
east, and he expects that large num-
bers of persons will come out here next
fall. These may be divided into two
classes-those seeking homes, and par
ties looking for opportunities to safely
and probably invest capital, and to
both of these, he thinks no other place
can offer such inducements as Salt Lake
City. He is confident that two indus
tries will be established here before
long-a starch factory and canning es-
adjustment.
The Exposition Car" said Mr.. Sells,
sis bowling success; it has attracted
thousands of visitors and elected favor
able comment everywhere"

Der of the leading citizens, besides max
ing & thorough distribution OF printed

everywhere great interest manifested

While in Springfield. the following ar
ticle appeared IN the Journal, of that
city:
A VISITOR FROM SALT LAKE.
Judge Edward F. Colburn, of Salt
Lake City, arrived in Springfield vest +
day, and is registered st the Revere. Mr..
Colburn is an old newspaper man and
bears fine letters of recommendation.
He is an agent of the Salt Lake Cham
Der of Commerce, and is one of the gen
tlemen who is accompanying the Utah
Palace Exposition Car on its tour
through the United States. Mr.. Col
burn says that the mission of the car is
to bring the people of the United States
to better realization of the wonderful
resources of Utah by displaying speci-
mems of raw materials of a mineral
character found in the Territory and
the industries that can be developed
with them, samples of the manufac-
tured materials showing industrial de-
and illustrations of the
scenery of Utah and its CAPT.
tai city and to carry itera
sure relative to Salt Lake and Utah
and distribute it through the country,
thus giving correct information regard
ng the great resources of the city by
the sailed sea. He referred to the won
lerful progress that had been made
during the past few years toward the
DEVELOPMENT of this section OF the
country and gave much interesting in
respecting the people who
nhabit the Mormon city. He says that !
the feeling between the NIormons and |
5entiles has been Of more kindly |
nature during the past few years than |
aver before, both classes are giving |
heir attention to the upbuilding of |
their country rather than to fighting |
1ne another. He expects to be in tbs |
city two or three days visiting different |
prominent people and distributing
literature, and tits hoped the handsome |
car will be brought here
rom Chicago and thus give the people |
Of Springfield an opportunity TO see the
fine display of Utah products which it
carries. Judge Col5urn tells an inter
esting story about the Promised
Land" and predicts Salt Lake will be
the great city between the Continental
Divide AMI the Pacific. Its climate and
attractions commend it to the pleasure
and homeseeker.
BUSINESS NOTES.
THE handsome front of the Raybould
building, on Main Street, is much ad-
mired. ....-..--.
THE need Of latser frst-class hotel
was never so apparent as it has been
during the past few days.
THE SAT- Lake City Improvement
Company have decided upon a novel
plan for impEoYiSsg TerraHS Heights. |
See their advertisement in this issue.
A CANNING establishment is sure to be
started here before a great while, and |
# those Salt Lake business men who |
have been considering the practicable
ty of engaging in this business do not |
act at once, they will lose the chance.
THOSE interested in the growth and |
prosperity of our city will find some
