THE SEVENTY THIRD.
Odd Fellows Mark Another Anniversary
by Public Meeting.

by a Public Meeting.
Music hall was we'll filled on Tues
day evening, when Caledonia lodge,
No 6, I. o. o. F., emphasized the oc-
currence of the 73d anniversary of
the establishment of that order in
the United States by a public meet
ing to which our citizens had been
cordially invited by both newspaper
notice and flyer"
o. c. Amidon, N G. of Caledonia
lodge, presided, and briefly rendered
welcome to the audience in behalf of
the lodge. Prayer was offered by
Rev. J. T. Buzzell of Passumpsic
Rev. A. ]. Hough of Montpelier
was the speaker of the evening, and
talked for three-quarters of an hour
concerning the principles and teach
ings of Odd Fellowship. He dwelt
particularly on the benevolent work
of the order, and said that two mil
lion dollars had been spent the past
year in that sort of effort. He gave
several instances that had come with
in his own observation, to show
how completely Odd Fellowship
cared TOR the sick and protected the
widows and orphans. Mr. Hough
maintained that there was a great
discrepancy oftentimes between the
voice and the hand-the former was
not infrequently more kind than the
latter-and said that Odd Fellow
ship is trying to bring the hand of
the world up to a level with the
music of the worlds voice, which is
sometimes very sweet. The order,
he said, while not a religion, is yet
religious, and there is no conflict be-
Fellowship is doing what the church
cannot always do-the latter brings
spiritual comfort, and the former
follows close with material assist
ance. One point he made was that
the Odd Fellow is not a subject for
charity from other members of the
order; he can reach out his hand
when in distress with no feeling OF
| hurniliatior-he knows that he has a
claim upon his brother which is only
equalled by his brothers claim upon
him.
At the close of the evenings ex-
ercises Mr.. Hough read his interest
ing poem on THE Good Samaritan" ;"
which describes the experiences of a
certain man "who fell among
thieves" pays it's respects to the
naughty priest and Levite who pass.

to the humble and tender-hearted
Samaritan who helped him to place

Music was furnished on this occa

and the St. Johnsbury quartette
The orchestral selections were finely
done, and the quartette's singing

TWO CATALOGUES.

That c. F. Gibbs, the St. Johnsbury
florist, is wide awake and deter
mined to keep at the head of the pro-
cession is proved by an attractive
catalogue that he has just issued.
1t is a twenty-page affair, in a neat
cover, the front page of the cover
containing a cut of the greenhouse
premises, while the pamphlet itself
contains descriptive list of all the
Towering and vegetable plants, seeds,
bulbs, etc, in which Mr.. Gibbs deals.
The list is long one, the variety
great enough to please all tastes,
and the new catalogue will prove a
suggestive medium of communica-
ton between c. F. Gibbs and his
numerous patrons. Send for one and
find out how large his stock is.
A new catalogue in which horse
men will be specially interested is
that issued by Vim. S. Bailey. pro-
prietor of Maplewood Stock farm at
East Hardwick. Its pages give a
comprehensive description of the
individual members of Mr.. Bailev's
stud, with records. pedigree and all
details concerning the horseflesh kept
at Maplewood. This farm has a
widespread reputation as locality
where the best of animals can be
found, and the catalogue for 1892
will be in great demand among those
most directly concerned in the rear
ing of first-class horses 1t can be
had on application to Mr.. Bailey.
Itmay be stated incidentally" that t
both these catalogues were printed
at the CALIFORNIAN office.

the press, that in every way possible they
inform the subscriber OF any material in
their possession, or known to them, of
high character and pertaining to the
agricultural interests. In this connection
it may be said that the sum devoted for
organizing and installing the agricultural
exhibit OF Utah is less than is at the com
mand of very many OF the states and ter
ritories, less than is at the command of
most OF them in the arid region. But
progress has been made in the collection,
and / now turn to a review of it.
Chief Buchanan of the agricultural de
partment of the World Fair commission,
wisely decided to exhibit the products col
lected in classified form. That is to say,
the wool OF the several states that is col
lected will not be shown with the other
agricultural products; but all the wool of
all the states will be brought into one
area, and SO of other agricultural prod
ucts. While this is the correct method it
works unfavorably to Utah, for the reason
that the money that could be devoted to
its agricultural exhibit is quite limited
compared to that of Colorado and Cali
state of Idaho. Could all that Utah has
to exhibit from the soil be placed in one
position it would become more impressive
than 1t will be when distributed into sew
eral different sections. From the main
exhibit of the farm crops OF our territory
there will be excluded wool, the fauna,
fora, horticultural products, dairy pro-
ducts, stock, farm inventions or machin-
cry, and other things that might be ex-
hibited III the principal area set aside
for US.
In the main section there will be placed
a large painting, 4x12 feet, representing
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-12-24

to this the present enterprise was started
on a small scale in 1854 by the Walker
Bros. IN the building now occupied by
the Utah National bank, but the business
having grown to such enormous proper
ton it was considered necessary to rent
larger building. We feel sure that we
are not asserting or claiming too much
when we say no establishment has
achieved more respectable position COM
mercially, nor been conducted upon
more liberal and conservative basis than
has this adjustment. In the person of
Mr.. II. A. Fyler, Messrs. Walker Bros.
secured a valuable assistant in building
up this mammoth establishment, for he
not only brought a long experience of
eastern methods, but tact and discrimin-
alton in catering to the taste OF the fair
sex within our city, and it is now no
longer considered necessary as it used to
be in days gone by to. find out what is the
proper styles, for Mr.. Fyler, in his bust
ness visits to New York, makes such
generous selection that it leaves nothing
to be desired, and as the prices compare
so favorably with eastern houses it is
often commented on as matter of surprise
by visitors to our city.

UTAH'S AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
To Be Exhibited at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago.

Special difficulties from the very nature
of the exhibit attend the collection for the
agricultural section of Utah at the Column
bian exposition. Industries that are CEN
tralized in few localities and heavily
capitalized are quick to move and find
that special efforts serve their vested in
terests. Farming is infinitely subdivided
and scattered, so far as individual units
are concerned, over great area, and few
individuals of this industry have special
interests that induce special sacrifices.
Utah covers the territory of an empire,
and it is difficult to ascertain, without
great cost, where the very best materials
are to be found.
To avoid the financially impossible task
of visiting extensively the individual
homes of the farmers, resort was made to
circulars to the public through the press,
to fairs, and, to a certain extent to indi-
vidual inquiry. Although the press has
NEST generously opened it's columns to
communications in relation to the agri-
cultural collection, "a very meager response
has been made. Five hundred carefully
ruled and arranged notebooks have been
sent to nearly as many threshers through
out the territory for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the yield OF our leading crops
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-12-24

upon irrigated grounds, in order that the
great yield of our irrigated farms might
be satisfactorily shown at the Worlds
fair.
Five hundred postal cards have been sent
to wool growers with an urgent appeal
for their aid.
If Utah shows at the Worlds fair, pro-
ducts, either in quantity per acre or in
quality something superior to that of
other states, vast number OF interested
parties will not fail to note the advantages
of our climate and soil, result that
would doubtless affect the value of farm
property within our borders. On the
other hand, failure to make an exhibit
that viii compare favorably with that of
the other states of the Union must react
most advantageously upon our own agri-
culture; for if our processes and products
are inferior to those OF others in the sister
hood of states it can but serve to arouse
us to better efforts, and. thus, through
better processes we may reach higher
development of wealth, and all that
wealth implies in the life of states.
[, therefore. sieze upon this opportun-
ity to renew the earnest solicitations to
our farmers, heretofore expressed through
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-12-24

will be accompanied with some samples
of the sugar produced here. The interest
Utah has taken in the sugar industry has
attracted national attention, and the fac
tory at Lehi is known throughout the
United States.
The waters of our most important rivers
have been collected and analysed to show
the amout of floral food that an inch of
our irrigation waters bring upon an acre
ofcrops.
From southern Utah we shall have ex-
hibits of cotton, almonds and other pro-
ducts peculiar to the southern tier of
counties. From this saction Will be Sc
cured the fossiIized wood to be exhibited
IN association with the woods of the terri
tory, about thirty OF which have been
gathered, fitted and polished for placing
in the forestry division of the exposition.
We are depending upon the spring clip
for an exhibit of wool. Great efforts viii
be made to make this exhibit complete.
We shall have the assistance of the Provo
Esq, and of others. Mr.. Crane
already has sheep worked
in wool and feathers, shown at the recent
foir at Salt Lake city, that viii itself be
unique. 1t Will be accompanied by other
exhibits from his flock that are already
exceedingly creditably arranged. We have
the tender from him of typical high
DIeu WOOl S1GtD 4OI anu tA-
hibiting in the agricultural section. That
the high position of Utah as a wool-pro-
ducing territory may be appreciated, it is
probable that a bale OF selected pelts and
probably a mounted Rocky Mountain
sheep will be shown. Utah is native
home of the sheep, where they thrive as
in few localities of the country. 1t is con-
templated making an exhibit of mounted
buffalo and q Rocky Mountain goat, if the
latter can be secured.
This gives an approximate outline Of
the materials that Will be displayed at
Chicago by the agricultural section of
the Utah Worlds fair commission. Ineed
not generalize upon the special import
ance of this section of our exhibit, nor
upon the exhibit in general. 1t is prob
able that % section of the country can so
lily afford to neglect this opportunity of
making the very best exhibit possible in
its power. Commercial and social reasons
combine to give importance to this oDpor-
tunity of Utah. l therefore ask the farm
public and others who may be able to as
sist, to tender to the commission any pro-
duct of earth or air of superior character
that is adapted to exhibit in the agricul-
tural section. We not only ask for ma
terial, but will be pleased to receive sug-
gestiOns in regard to collections or designs
III exhibiting the collections that may be
deemed of sufficient importance.
