"A Present to the Chamber
of Commerce.

There was meeting OF the Chamber
of Commerce last evening to hear the
report of the executive committee On
the recent tour OF She Utah Exp osition
Car.
The meeting was called to order by
President Mccormick and proceeded to
business at about 80 clock.
Mr.. II. w. Lawrence made brief
statement of what had been done by
the advertising committee. After re-
ferring to the trip of the car, the
favorable notices that had been re-
ceived, he stated that he was satisfied
that the car had done good work in
bringing Utah and her resources in q
favorable light before the public.
Mr.. II. l.. A. Culuer stated that he
was satisfied That the car had been the
best means That could nave been
adopted TO spread inform stion, and
while il had only covered a LarroW
strip of country, the newspapers had
treated the Car so we'll that the informs-
ton was spread broadcast. He Said that
he often met men who had been brought
to Utah through the car-Who got their
irstideas of coming here by their visit
to the car. He knew of one man whom
the car had br fought here, who had in
vested three times as much in this
Territory as the whole amount sub
scribed oy tbs citizens last spring TO
send out the car. This man has already
invested $50 600 here, and will invest
more as soon as he can sell his property
ia the east.
W. II. Sells made a few remarks
corroboratlng what Mr.. CuImer had
said. He said We get no returns from
the car just at present, but they were
sure to come, and he was satist d that
the means taken to advertise The Terri
tory were the best that could possibly
have been devised.

given to Mr.. II. L. A. Culmer for the faithful
and economical service performed by him

by a more liberal policy pursued, could
easily have been expended
| OF the gentlemen travelling In the capac-
| ity of advance sg ents, Mr.. Joseph Goghegan
deserves the thanks of this body for utterly
refusing any compensation for his services
outside of the actual expenses incurred.

directly connected with this work have dis
charged the different duties imposed upoa
them in most faithful and satisfactory
manner.
