THE EXPOSITION CAR.
An Earnest Address to the Nine
Owners of Utah.

The committee of citizens and the
board of directors Of the Chamber of
Commerce having decided after long
and careful consideration of the in
erssts involved, to send an exposition
car to the east filed with Utah products
and manufactures. for the purpose of
advertising our natural resources to
people who have hitherto never dreamed
that any good could come from Utah,
it is absolutely necessary that the COM
mittee should have the cooperation OF
all our citizens in their endeavor 10 make
the exposition q success. 1t is there
lore earnestly desired that all mine
owners who have heretofore sent
specimens of minerals to the Cham
Der Of Commerce cabinet, SHOULD,
within a week, forward specimens
of their mine produce to the Cham
Der for the purpose of fitting up the
exposition car. The committee to
whom ttis enterprise has been en-
Trusted, has given SO much of their
time and attention to the matter. that
they deserve the hearty CO operation of
4 all good citizens 1t has been midnight
on several occ 1siCns before the mem
bers Of the committee left the Chamber,
and work has been done in secret
EcOunCil that would entbuse every right
minded citizen of salt Lake and Utah.
Our future prosperity depends on the
work ineugurated There are some
who may entertain opinions of their
own, but all opinions have been care
fully considered, and if any differ with
the plan insugurated, they need have
no apprehension concerning the ques-
| ton of final success, IS Tie exposition
car is only one Of many that are already
being enthusiastically advocated. The
community is unanimous on one
point - the necessity for progress
and improveme inland the diversity
of sentiment in reference to
the methods to be employed will only
lead to a wider development and
more general corporations. Hereto
fore the people of the east have been
| sending their emissaries to Utah
through pity and compassion for our
inhabitants; let as nov send representa-
| tives to them 10 give them assurance
and confidence that we are united in
an effort to build up our natural inter
ests and to invite their cooperation,
and capital and population will flow to
6culties of the part. 10 ensure this
result every citizen should aid in the
work of fitting uD the exposition car.
The mine owners and smelters. es
pecially, should tsks particular pride
in being represented. II they do not
desire to donate, let them lend for
temporary use specimens that will con-
Vey to tha people of the east correct
idea of our possibilities il the mining
and smelling industries. We should
have bars of bullion, specimens of
mineral and everything that can
subserve the purpose of adver-
Using our Territory. The miAes
and smelters will be benefited
by the work undertaken. and . is there
fore hoped that the msnagers OF Utah
mires will respond promptly and gen.
erously to this appeal. 1t is expected
to start the Exposition Car on
its journey by June LIST, and immediate
action is therefore necessary. Send in
specimens at once, giving all particu-
lars necessary for the correct informa-
ton of strangers, and if all interested
lend their cooperation, the ciCizens of
Salt Lake and Utah will have cause for
generous appreciation. Every citizen
OF Utah is earnestly invited to aid in the
work undertaken. Let all vie with each
other in making our Exposition Car
success. Let all do what they can to
furnish something thatwill demonstrate
to the outside world the wonderful
abundance and variety of our re-
sources, and we will succeed in attract
ing more attention and arousiDg more
interest than any city in the United
States. NJ. J. FoRHAN,
