"Rome Industries, a Complete and CLASH
fed List of the Manufacturing Establish
ments of Salt Lake City, is the title of
nty-fve-page pamphlet just Issued by
somebody. The work is evidently a snap
advertising scheme, which ordinarily we
would not notice Unfortunately, how
ever, it bears the endorsement of the
chamber OF commerce, under who's
direction it claims to have been
prepared, and that gives it
certain weight and prestige which
it does not deserve. Really, the little book
is calculated to do US considerable harm.
While pretending to give "a complete and
classified list of our manufacturing estab-
lishments, " it really gives only part of
Notwithstanding probably in favor of
those who pay for the mention-and omits
& great many institutions that
do US and themselves credit. Why
the chamber of commerce should
make itself party to SO palpable deception

our fourteen brick manufactures named.
There are q couple of nurseries-are they
manufactures?-but meier anewspaper, nor
smelter, nor yet a sash. door and blinds
factory, or any of the numerous enterprises
established here, enumerated. Why
should the chamber of commerce stand

The Wool Growers association held an
other meeting yesterday and some OF the
members expressed some anxiety with re-
gard to the bill against be oulipg water,
which they want the governor to veto.
| Let them possess their souls in patience.
The governor will veto the bill after a
brief pretext at considering. Whenever

petition he receives against an act. il
means only one thing, and that is
that his mind-or somebody else's-is
made up and the rest is but a ruse to make
it appear that he is acting in Difference tc
public opinion. The sheep raisers needn't
lose wink of sleep. The bill is as good as
killed.

Queer things happen under the Latter
day Liberal administration. 1t is some
time ago that Mr.. George M. Scott, the
mayor of Salt Lake, recommended tina
t Contractor Bowman by reason of certai
/ disclosures made in The HERALD, be sum
marily discharged from his WORK on tn
joint public building. An investigation
} before the county court, subsequent
held, verified the charges made by tn
HERALD that some of the signatures n
; Bowman's bonds were forged. In an
, other town but Salt Lake Mr.. Bowma
would be in pickle. Here he is in clover
' He insists on going on with his contrac
and there isn't prosecutor supported frol
