tain Home Industry-Items.

The board of directors of the chamber
of commerce held meeting yesterday
afternoon at which Messrs. Hubbard.
Morris, Treweek, Madsen, Cannon, Kel-
sey and Coates were present.
On motion OF Mr.. Treweek it was
ordered that Secretary Snyder be sent to
Chicago to distribute advertising matter
at the Worlds fair. the expense OF the
same to be raised by popular Inscription.
This was deemed necessary because of the
action of the different states in the adver-
tising field. Nearly all of them are doing
more than Utah and it is thought by the
directors that this territory can now do
some excellent work if the advertising
matter be properly distributed at this
time. Mr.. Synder will take with him at
least 10000 pamphlets of various kinds,
which he viii distribute during the pres
ent month. OF these. it was stated, the
Rio Grande Western had furnished some
thousands and the Union Pacific is ex-
pected to fall into line with an equal
share.
TO ADVERTISE SALT LAKE.
Mr.. Hubbard argued that now is the
best opportunity Salt Lake city has
w
of the east who are coming to the fair are
all eager to learn something about our
resources. All advertising matter is
taken at once, when some can be
gotten there. But there is no system
about the matter now at the fair, as no
one has been given charge of that depart
ment. Therefore some person who I'M
derstands the business should be given
plenty OF matter and set to work at once.
All the directors, when shown the mat
ter In this light, expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of the scheme and
pledged their best efforts to carry out the
determination of the board.
THE PAN-AMERIcAN CONVENTION.
On motion of Mr. Cannon, it was or
dered that Messrs. Hubbard, Kelsey and
Treweek be appointed committee to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of sending a
delegation to the Pan-American Bimetals
lie convention to be held in st. Louis on
Oct. 8, and in case they deem it advisable
to send delegates they are to raise the
money and make all necessary arrange
ments
Mr.. Kelsey thought that people must
be educated up to the silver and that this
convention presents the opportunity of a
lifetime to place before them the advisa-
bllity of using silver as money, and also
that the best thing Salt Lake could do
was to send good, level headed business
men to represent this city and territory.

mously adopted:

Whereas, By the opening of the said
reservation d new railroad passing
through them to Salt Lake city and
thence to the coast would in all proba-
bility be pushed to an early completion,
thereby reducing the cost of produce now
shipped from more distant points and
creating large market therefor as Well

hibits of Utah's resources at the chamber
