Grant and E. F. Colborn have been
elected directors of the Salt Lake
chamber of commerce for the current
year It is high time for this communi-
ty to realize the necessity of united eff
fort through an organized association
of business men. The chamber of com
merce can succeed if it receives cordial
financial support; without this support
it will fail. The officers cannot afford
to take time from their private af-
fairs and give il to the chamber of
commerce unless they have the SYM
pathy and aid of those who will be
benefited by their work. 1 now invite
my fellow citizens TO strengthen our
hands in the work of making the cham

is forthcoming, the president and di-
rectors will put forth their best efforts
to make the chamber a success; if it
is not forthcoming, I will recommend to
the stockholders the surrender of the
charter and the ds-incorporation of the
institution.
I now appeal to the members of the
chamber of commerce. to the citizens
and business men of this city,
and to the mine owners of this
state, for their support. If the present
members of this chamber will gener-
ously pay their dues for the remainder
of the year, in advance, if those
who are delinquent will do the same
and bring up their arrears. and if all
persons having an interest in the
greater growth of the city and state
will promptly forward applications to
the secretary for membership. and
with the same a check for $14 Cmem-
bership fee and six months dues in
advance) the chamber will do the rest.
The names of the public spirited
who respond to this appeal will be
published in the daily papers. Re-
spectfully,
FREDERICK H. AUERBACH,
President.

ments are in strict accordance with
the rules, regulations and doctrines
which have been taught and which
have prevailed from the beginning I'M
til the present time, having not only
the sanction of undisputed usage.
but the approval of all faithful leaders

act."-Manti Messenger

Did Very Good Work.

Utah's first state Legislature is now
a matter of history, having adjourned
sine die on Wednesday morning.
Generally it has been a steady work
ing body and conscientious in its delib-
erations. Most of it's laws are needed
statutes, and the many unnecessary
laws which were threatened at the be-
ginning of the session were killed or
sidetracked and several now existing
which were not really important were
diScarded.-Mt. Pleasant Pyramid.

Of this state belongs to all the people,
and not to the few gentlemen who, in
the midst of every circumstance of dis
enlargement and at great personal sac

trying to run chamber of commerce
in the interests of this city and the
whole state
They now very properly serve notice
upon the business men of Salt Lake

liens generally that they will carry the
burden no longer
The people of Salt Lake City and of
the state of Utah are now face to
face with the proposition as to whether
or not city of sixty thousand inhabi-
ants. and capable of becoming a city
of three hundred thousand inhabitants,
shall have chamber of commerce.!
Salt Lake City is surrounded by the
greatest variety and richest natural
resources of any inland city this side
of the Missouri river. Yet her
business men, and her people
have not sustained her chamber of
commerce, the chief business of which
is to make known the resources of the
city and state, ana aid in their devel-
opment.
Salt Lake City and the state of Utah
are just at that stage in the progress
of their development where they need
the work that is usually done by a
chamber of commerce more than they
will ever need it in the future-do the
business men propose to let that insti-

it win and it ought to if you do not
come to the rescue of the institution.
To allow the chamber of commerce
of this city to go out of existence when
the city needs it the most would be a
direct reflection upon the good sense,
business ability, and enterprise of Salt
Lake and Utah people.
It must not be. We cannot afford
to have that kind of a fact go out
about Salt Lake City. The patriotism
and good sense of our people will save
US from that humiliation. But it can
only be done by the present members
who are in arrears paying UP, advanc-
ing all the dues for the present year,
and other citizens, business men and
mine owners, becoming members and
aiding in this good work, as set forth
in the above communication.

The Mormon Manifesto.

The Mormon church officials have is
sued manifesto that hereafter no Of
ficer Of the church (and the majority
of church members are officers) shall
accept the nomination for any office
whatsoever without first consulting
the head of the church. 1t is very hard
to guess at present what this declara

safe to say that had this manifesto
been issued two years ago, Utah would
still be a territory.-Ogden Democrat.

Utah completed its labors and adjourn

that its work was we'll done. It has
been frequently asserted here that
some of the legislation is inimical to
the mining interests, but only time

more compactly and intelligently stated.
In regard to tendencies of life and
