President Harrison responded as follows:
our pathway from Washington to the
Golden Gate and the far Northwest to

plau1lts of the multitude. Our way was
strewn with flowers. We have iourneyed

President Harrison remained but forty
five minutes in the city. The entire pro-
gramme of march was not carried out.
Owing to this fact a large number of
people who did not go to the Union depot
but were scattered along the line of march
were disappointed In not seeing the presi-
dent. After hurried embarkation the
party was on the home stretch for Wash
ington.

cago, but at every other point, was dis
charged. This was done in carrying on
the company's resolve not to allow switch
men to interfere in the work of the road
For months the,company has been prepar
ing for the battle and has been hiring non
union switchmen all over the country. 81
quietly has it been doing this work that thu
, union switchmen did not get any inklins
whatever Till the last moment of what was
going on.
As soon as the local men were discharg-
ed 200 new men were ready to take their
places at the switches. No violence was
offered by the old men, who stood about
in groups watching the new corners at
their labors. Policemen were stationed all
through the yards and about the down
town depot to prevent any trouble.
The officials state that for more than
two years the situation regarding the
sWltchmen has been constantly growing
worse. The men have not only struck f 6.
quently for trivial causes at times seriously
delaying suburban trains at the best
part of the day to the great inconvenience
of thousands of people but they have
number of times demanded the dis.
charge of men who performed satisfactory
work, and whose only fault was that they
were not members of the Switchmens'
union. About two months ago they de-
manded the discharge of Yardmaster Frank
McVerney, and to avoid trouble he was
ostensibly discharged, but he was kept on
the pay roll Of the company, and was this
morning reins:ated in his old place.
All the railroad companies are applaud
ing the action of the Chicago and North
western, and will come to It's support if
niece ssary. 1t is understood that the
Switchmen OH all roads were preparing for
general strike on June !, amt Is thought
they may change their minds as result OF
the stand taken by the Northwestern.
The discharged employt es are only those
on northwestern system proper, which does
not include the lines west OF the Missouri,
river, Sioux City and Pacific or Chicago
Minneapolis and Omaha. This afternoon
the discharged men in the West Chicago
yards went into secret meeting to settle
upon a course of &C ion. 1t is known that
some of them are in favor OF going to the
company and asking to be reinstated
Others counsel holding out and resort to
violence if necessary. The company is
supported in its position by the Conductors
Firemen and Brakemen union. The
Switchmen's union is not included in the
National Federation of railroad employees
To a committee Of the men who called
upon President Marvin Hughitt, that fiji.
Cial said: The switchmen Of this road for
the last two years have been about run
mng the road We have been Inundated
Mr.. Whitman and |, and other officials,
and now, we propose to ascertain whether
we can run our own road. We decided to
discharge every switcbman in our employ.
We are backed up by ever trainmen's order
in the Federation except the swltchmen.
Now this is not an attack upon the unions
ia any way, but simply a matter of discip-
line. We must know who we are getting to
dictate, officials or employees.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, May l6.-The cap
tain of the steamer Newbern, which
arrived at this port at midnight last
night, reported that on the way down

local institutions. For many years the
mills have been run to their full capacity
and have had standing orders for all the
goods they could turn out for year in ad-
vance. Shipments are made to all parts of
the United States, and market once es-
tablished invariably remains permanent
The entire product of the Provo Wooden
mills is handled by ]. G. Cutler and Bros,
Salt Lake, the exclusive agents of the COM
pany.
The Provo Wooden Mills commenced
manufacturing in the year 1878, using U tab
wool only. 1t has continued in the manu-
facture of the following styles and kinds of
goods Common dress goods, fauels,
shawls, jeans, tweeds, unions, and yarns of
all styles and colors.
Within the past year the machinery
has been added to, and to-day it is
the best equipped wooden mill west Of the
Rocky Mountains, and will compare favor
ably with large number of mills to be
found anywhere in the country. There
has been attached to the eight sett of forty
eight inch-cards eight Bromhull feeds and
eight Apperly feeds. Other changes and

line with first class mills either east or
west. Twelve Broad Tuppett looms,
Cromptor's make, have been added to the
weaving department.
On these new looms can be woven
three breadths of twenty seven inch
cloth, and all other widths that the market
demands, Other machinery has been
added, such as twister, washing machines
for cloth, twelve foot turning
lathe which enables the mills to do its own
repairs. An addition has been built to the
east end of the mill, in which has been
placed the spooling and warping machines.
The directors have at all times pursued a
wise policy in adding new machines where
the old ones were behind the times, and to-
| day the mill is in good shape and coDdi-
ton to do good as work as it ever has been
since it started
Everything is being done to make it a
safe risk as to fire. Barrels of water with
buckets are placed upon each floor. And
when the connections are made to the
city water works it is intended to have two
hydrants in the mill yard to control the
building from the outside with a connection
to stand pipe in towers of main mill. This
will give the mill control of water at all
times for fire purposes and should make
the property good risk as it is in no
danger from outside fires and only inter.
nal danger to be feared.

Among the Industries of Utah that have
grown to very large proportions is the
manufacture of crackers and cakes. Among
the firms engaged in that industry and
which stands at the head, is the Eagle
Cracker & Manufacturing Co., corner of
Second West and Seventh South streets.
Their manufactory was established in
1886 by Frank Stanley, and in 1890, the
company was incorporated with q capital
of $4,000. They at once placed all new
and modern machinery in their plant,
erected new buildings and an immense
revolving oven. AT once their business
began to climb up. and now, all the leading
firms of Salt Lake City and Utah handle
their goods. They use nothing but first
class material and they have a capacity Of
2000lbs per day.
Their specialJies are all kinds of crackers,
biscuits, snaps, drops, seed and Jelly fingers
and buns, waters, cakes and iumbles.
Eighty-three varieties in all. These goods
are put up in two and five pound boxes. as
also boxes Of twenty to thirty pounds and
are packed in barrels when desired.
The company was awarded the only
silver medal at the Territorial Exhibition
for an exhibit of fine crackers. The
affairs Of the company are managed by
Edward Brooks, president; Cyrus H.
Gold, vice president, and Frank Stanley,
superintendent. When you want a good
cracker ask for the Eagle brand.

Christmas Anhorisms.

Pope Telesphorus, who died before the
middle of the second century, deserved
canonizing, if for nothing else, for insti--
tuting Christmas as festival. 1t has been
celebrated ever since in all Christian
lands, and has given more happiness to
children than any day in the calendar.
Making children happy is the essence of
Christianity
OF late years Christmas has become far
more domestic and merry-ma6ing holiday
than religious one. But it is religious in
the best sense, since it is day Of peace
and rest, and opens the heart to human
needs and human sympathies.
The most satisfactory way to observe
Christmas is to do at least one good act to
some of our fellows. The consciousness of
doing such an act will inspire US to do
others, and so sanctify the day to make it
ever welcome.
Christmas is always associated with the
good Jesus who, whether regarded as God
or man, was the purest, kindest, noblest
being that has walked the earth. He has
Inspired love in saint and sinner in devotee
and skeptic alike. Men may wrangle about
creeds; but about Jesus and His beautiful
life there can hardly be any difference Of
opinion, for ne pitied all who suffered and
strove to heal every aching heart
Christmas has gradually evolved out of
its theology and has come to stand for
festival of love. Therefore all men love it.
for throughout the universe love is born of
love and is worshiped for it's own sake.
clear conscience furnishes the best
digestion for a Christmas dinner.
Christmas is day to form good resolu-
tions. 1t is easier to form them on that or
any other day than to keep them for
single month.
No conscientious person can enjoy his
Christmas dinner if he knows anybody
else within reach to be hungry. The con-
sciousress that we have given food to the
needy provides US with the finest appetite.
Christmas was formed IN the era of the
ology from Christ and mass. In these
practical and luxurious days it might sig
Nifty that we should try to initiate Christ in
dealing with the mass of mankind, who are
usually more or less unfortunate. By so
dealing with them we should make all days
Christmas days.
