To the Editor of TIN HERALD

a
which the Chamber Of Commerce was
organized, one of the most importantis
that expressed in the articles of incor-
poration in the following terms: so
organize and provide for bureau of
statistics in relation TO manufacturing,
mining, commercial, financial and m
dUstrial affairs Of public interest; to
harmonic and facilitate business inter
course, etc." In order TO secure these
objects the cooperation of all classes of
the community is necessary, but
hitherto the Chamber has not, with
some exceptions, received that lndi-
vidual aid which it needs. This is
doubtless attributable to an imperfect
appreciation of the best way TO render
assistance III the common cause, AID
the object Of this letter is TO suggest a
plan whereby our citizens can render
that assistance at no cost TO themselves
and with great profit to all.
In the first place, our cabinet CT min
erals, manufactures, etc., while 1t has
done a vast amount of good in opening
the eyes Of the Outsice world TO the
extent and variety of our resources and
industries, and has been a standing
advertisement for the exhibition moi
yiduaily and the community collec
tiveIv, has yet fallen short OF what 1t
might have beeD and might have done.
We have a fair represe ntation in the
mineral kingdom, 1t IS true, but that is
all.
OUR MANUFACTURING EXHIBITS
are eight in number, all told. and our
agricultural five; ana these latter, from
their perishabie nature, sadly need re-
placing. We have not single contri-
button from our wooden mills Except q
few skeins Ut yarn,) our glass workers,
our knitting factories, our wood
workers, (unless we SO denominate the
handsome gift to the Chamber from
the Co op Furniture Co, our tobacco
workers, II 1rbie works, carpet-makers,
engravers, printers, paper mills, chem
zeal works, and tie othtr industries
which ere carried on to reater or less
extent throughout the Territory.
We also need SAM les of Utah wis ct,
barley, rye. oats, corn, luCerne seed.
hops and a full lire OF our various
fruits, dried and fresh, besides our
honey ard al other products Of our
agricultural lands.
| Your willingness IL The past to Co
| ope- ate with the Chamber in all mat
tiers affecting the public welfare. war
| rants Us in now seeking to extend,
through your columns, al invitation TO
all engaged Ill the pursuit of any Of the
avocations aboys enumerated, or Of
others net specifically mentioned,
to forward to the secretary
of the Chamber of I Commerce,
samples of their manufactures or
productions Tor exhibition, and thereby
secure to themselves an amount of free
advertising which Will be of incalculable
benefit to them directly and indirectly.
| As already stated, even at it stands,
our collection has excited much inter
est from each of the hundreds of stran-
gers who have visited ana are daily
visiting US, and has extorted the ad-
mission even from those who were in
terested in depreciating US IN favor OF
other districts, that Utah is wonder
full country! But the question is often
asked: What about your manufac-
lures? What kind of crops do you raise!
Can't you show us specimens AND
their absence has to be explained away
as it best may, to avoid the concluslo u
in our visitors minds that eithsr Utsh
has no manufactures nor crops, or tina;
they are too inferior to bear investiga
ton. Hence it is important that our
manufacturers and farmers furnish US
with something that we
CAN SHOW TO THE WORLD
as our own and Utah's, and not bt
ashamed Of.
1 would earnestly request all who
come under that category to consider
this appeal as addressed personally tt
themselves and thereby obviate the
necessity for great amount OF CORE
spondeDce, which the regular duties oil
the secretary render difficult, if moi
impossible. All samples of manu-
faclured articles or agricultural produc
should be accompanied by a statemeD
giving exact location of the place where
thew originate, the name OF the exhihi
tor, full description of the article
, Mount produce l. value, and any othel
information which will conduce to ;
proper understanding of the matter.
The same invitation is made to tn
discoveries of any deposits OF minera
or other substances likely to be OF com
mercial value. If the owners vii
communicate with the Chamber, sendin
specimens of the material with the bes
information they can furnish in regar'
10 it. probable extent, uses, terms upol
which they wish to dispose of it, o
what assistance they require in its de
velopment, etc, these facts will be re
corded and earnest endeavors made t
find market for it, and thus develo
our own resources and foster our owI
! industries.
Secondly, it is important that tn
Chamber should be in possession Q
facts regarding the extent, value, re
ouirementsa and conditions of all manu-
features carried on within the Territory
especially what materials are used in tn
various processes, what proportion
obtained from beyond our borders, an
at what price the Utah article, If pro
ducible, must be supplied to compel
with the foreign. By comparing thes
facts with the information already re
|, ferred to in regard to the location
ownership, value, ETC., of the RAJ
material, it is easy to ascertain whethe
our manufacturers
CAN UTILIZE THE HOME ARTICLE,
and if so. TO place the producer and cor
