CHARLES A. SMURTHWAITE.
One of the Largest Wholesale Commission
Grocery Houses in Salt Lake City.

Ouo VI IHt LdTStsb W HUltodlb OOnllisslOl
Grocery Houses in Salt Lake City.
The wonderful progress and develop
ment of the wholesale commission grocery
business of this gentleman attests, as much,
perhaps, as anything else to the impor-
lance of Salt Lake city as a commercial
centre. OF course, even with that advan-
tage, much necessarily depends upon the
tact and ability of the business man, and
these qualities the subject of this sketch
has unquestionably proven that he pos
sesses to marked degree. 1t is not year
ago that Mr. Smurthwaite entered the Salt
brains and pluck could win, he
would soon forge himself to the
front, with the result that his sales
book shows nearly $500. 900 worth of bust
ness transacted, with the monthly sales
now aggregating close upon $40, 900. In ad-
dition to the business at Salt Lake city, a
house at Ogden is also successfully oper-
ated Mr.. Smurthwaite is general western
agent for the influential and colossal
Gerry establishment OF Messrs. D. NJ. Steele
& Co., Omaha Neb., under the immediate
management of Mr.. Dudley Smith, through
whose sagacity aud enterprise Mr.. Smurth-
waite freely confesses he owes much of the
success and rapid development of his bust
ness; and it speaks correspondingly as
highly of the sound commercial character
of the merchants of this territory as of the
ability of their general western agent, that
Mr.. Smith looks upon his Utah accounts as
among the best his firm has on it's books
and that Messrs. d. NJ. Steele g. Company
are the most popular of the many eastern
wholesale grocery houses having represen-
tatives in this market.
AS the agent of this concern, Mr.. Smurth-
waite controls tor Utah, Idaho, Wyoming
and Montana Proctor q CANDLES cele-
brated 'Lenox" brand of laundry soap,
which has been introduced into this market
for the first time in the last few months
and there have been placed in the hands
of the retail dealers since Mr.. Smurth-
waite first talked ''Lenox' last June no less
than $500 boxes of one hundred bars each.
This soap is specially adapted to the hard
water of this whole inter mountain region,
and is admittedly in greater demand to-day
than any other one brand of laundry soap
being offered. The "Safe and Reliable''
baking powder has so forced its way

Year." and, 10, this village, a tardy- open
ing bud, blossomed into living, bustling,
pushing city.
From every standpoint this year OF
grace opened auspiciously. During few
of the Immediately preceding years a
TRANSMISSION of fresh blood had been quietly
flowing this way, in the shape of energetic
men with large capital at their command;
but it remained for the first months of the
New Year to raise the curtain on the
spectacular drama of building city, that
grew, and grew, before the very eyes OF
the astounded spectators. Looking
upon the augmenting throng that
crowded the stage to confusion
the old slow denizen of the town
rubbed his eyes as one in dream; but
still the sound of hammer and of saw, and
the bricklayer's cry for ''More Mud"
drowned the snore of the loafer in the pit
and the groans of conservative Old Money
Bags in the gallery as he whined, "For the
Lords sake boys be careful" and still the
noise of this growing city is increasing
every day, and swelling upward and on
ward till the wearied old Wasatch gives
back its echoes that find resting place in
every city and town of the United States;
and the beginning is hardly yet.
Since New Years morning of 1889, Ogden
has nearly or quite doubled in population
and quadrupled in values. 1 shall not in
fict upon the reader tiresome columns of
figures to prove my statements. 1t is
enough that lay down facts that can be
easily corroborated; if did otherwise, THE
HERALD, living in the shadow of our great
fame, would not publish it. During the
past year more than thousand substan
tial buildings, some of them models of ele
gance. have been added to Ogden. For
the week ending December IA, 1889, week
of lowering skies, and rain, and mud,
Building Inspector d Hemecourt has issued
permits for more than fifty thousand dol
lars worth of buildings. "If these things

time be when these young fellows will

quire, or when they shall gaze into 1.-THE
wrinkled front of war"
On the opposite angle of the street from
where write, massive brick and granite
structure is going heavenward and will
cost nearly one hundred thousand dollars.
Five stories are already up and it will be
completed early in the spring. 1t is the
First National Bank and Mercantile build
ing and will be one of the finest in the ter
ritory. Then there is Reeds hotel at the
corner of Main and Fifth streets. This is
to be a grand hotel and no mistake. 1t will
cost more than one hundred thousand dol
lars and all its appointments are to be
first-class in every particular.
Next winter you may send all your sons
and daughters here to be educated at the

men and women. They will gather inspi-

through the efforts of this gentleman that
proper estimate of its intrinsic merit
may be gained by our stating that within
the last seventy-five days no less than
$1,000 worth has been consumed south of
Salt Lake city alone, besides vast guam
titles in this city and north. This article
is also controlled by this firm in the ives
tern territories and states.
We did think of recommending Mr..
Smurthwaite to the merchants of this ter
ritory as highly reliable young business
man, but, on second thought, it strikes US
that the popularity and the hold he has
gained upon the trade north, south, east
and west, by his generous treatment and
unremitting guardianship of their inter
ests, renders such panegyric on our part
entirely superfiuous.

FoRAKnRs WAR RECORD,

The Cincinnati Southwest asks about
Foraker's war record as follows;
"Dld he carry q musketY In what
battles aud IN what capacity dld Private
Foraker signali2e himself during the
war"
or course this iRa fair question and
ought TO be answered. There Is an
idea among certain class of young
Republicans, who have grown up since
the war, that Foraker was brilliant
soldier; that he saw many battles; that
he was a factor in the heroic forces that
suppressed the great shareholders rebel
lion. Hence this question Is pertinent
and not impertineLt,
The Cleveland Leader Of yesterday
tries TO answer II in a leading editorial,
but fails. The Leader does not name
q battle in which Foraker even took
part. We have all along supposed that
Foraker had battle record, but the
Leader editor fails to brings IL forth,
The Leader gives the record Of For
akers promotions, with his muster In
and muster out, and his term OF ser
vice. This is all right as far as II goes;
but II Foraker is now running as real
soldier, he must have % real soldiers
record, which is battle record, ,ofcourse
We do not propose 10 belittle or slur
Foraker's soldier record: We want 10
know what II is, so we can properly es'
innate It's value. We have all along
supposed that he was in at least twen
ty great battles and at least a hundred
days under FIRE; but tho { lure of the
editor Of the Leader to name a battle
has set us to wondering.
According to the Leader, Foraker
was mustered into the service as pri'
vate In Co. A., S0th, o. V. T., Aug 20
1869, and was Immediately appointed
End sergeant, He was made lst SER
geant Jan. LIST, 1863, and made 2nd lieu
tenant May 12, 1868. He was made lst
lieutenant, February IL, 1854. Was
transferred to the field and staff Sep. IL,
1864. He was made captain by brevet
in March 1865, and mustered out the
Tth of June, 1865. This 10 all the sub
stance Of the record given by the Lea
der. The question Of the number Of
battles in which Foraker took part is
still unanswered. The record looks
first class on paper, but what Is Fora
ker's record In the field Of warp Where
did he fire his gun, and where did he un-
sheath his swordp We do not doubt
his patriotism and we do not question
his courage, but where did he fight, and
in what lonely cemetery Of the far of
South are buried the rebels he slew

think Gov, Lowry should have prevent
cd the fight This Is both unreasonable
and unjust, All tho preparations foI
the fight were kept profound secret
ana the destination OF tho special train
of cars which carried tho prize hghtera
aud their accompanying gang or armed
desperadoea was unknown 10 any olll'
oial, either IN Louisiana 0r Mississippi
Gov, Lowry had no reaton 10 suppose
that the fight would take place on the
soil OF Mississippi, lle took all pre-
oautionary measures possible opreyenl

not 500 how no Ia 10 blame for not pre-
venting II, Let ua take an Illustration
Suppose the special train containing
5000 thugs, gamblers, prize lighters
sports, all armed, with 800 Others,
armed with Winchester rifles, and
ono thousand Others all armed and all
holding elb tickets, bent on seeing a
fight, had started out Of Pittsburg and
come to a point two miles beyond Can
ton, and then going into woods near
Meyers Lake had formed ring ana
lndulged In q prize fight What show
would the sheriff OF Stark county have
TO arrest, or prevent tho outragep lle
would be perfectly pOwerless, After
tho fight was over and the offenders had
fled TO other States, what justice would
there be IN heaping censure upon Gov
ernor Foraker for allowing the olienae
TO be committed on our sollY All this
might have happened In stark county

authorities, and yet stark county ID not

whore tho Sulliyan'Kllraln mill was
held. The decent press Of the country
ought TO commend Gov, Lowry for his
vigorous efforts TO punish such llagrant
ylolators OF the law and aid him to
make prize lighting both odious and dis
graceful. Klrain II seems was within
40 miles Of the Capital Of Indiana for
two days and Gov, Iloyey never lifted
a finger 10 apprehend him, and sullivan
was on q big drunk In Chicago for two
days, and neither the governor Of llli'
noia, nor the Chief OF Police Of Chicago
even made q move TO arrest him, In
fact Gov. Lowry, and q few localsheriiIs,
who were after the reward offered by
Gov. Lowry, appear to be the only per
sons In the United States, who seem TO
desire the Sluggers' arrest The tone
Of tho leading newspapers indicates q
desire to make heroes Of them, rather
than criminals.

Hon. Amos Briggs, ex.Judge Of Phil.
adelphia, and an ardent Republican,
has become so disgusted with the
double dealing Of the Republican party
in the late campaign for the prohibi'

he has stepped entirely out OF the party,
and gone to the Prohibitionists. There,
as in Ohio, the party leaders are all

UNJUST DECISION.

The latest developments In the Par
nell Commission are decidedly startling,
Mr.. Parnell and his counsel may with
draw from the case, The report comes
that, not content with doing things by
halves, Sir Charles Russell, on Parnelrs
behalf, was proceeding Saturday TO
show that the entire "Parnelllsm and
Crime" series In the Times was part Of
general conspiracy, founded ON Pig
gOtts lies bought by Houston with
Times money, when TO every ones
amazement the Judges declined to
order the production Of papers neces'
sary 10 prove these facts,
After ordering bank books, private
letters and every conceivable document
In the possession Of paruellite members
or National League officers TO be pro
duced TO please the Times lawyers, the
judges decline 20 do as much for Par
nell, on the ground that the duty Of the
Court was to ascertain whether the
Times documents weretrue-notwhere
hey came from or who paid for them
Parnell has decided TO withdraw his
counsel and abandon the attempt to
obtain justice from such u one'slded
tribunal. There seems 10 be no doubt
that this determination will be adhered
TO, unless the judges reconsider their
unjust deOIAIOn.
