SECRETARY OF COMMERCE.
Latest Scheme to Create Another
Cabinet officer.


CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Another cabinet
officer, whose duty it shall be to look
after the manufacturing interests of
this country, is believed by many of
the large manufacturers and prominent
members of the Travellers Protective
association to be a necessity. At the
coming meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, which is to
be held in Chicago from the 21st to the
23d instant, the proposition will be ia
ken up at length, and it is more than
probable that congress will be asked
to create a secretary of commerce. -
SO that the next president Of the Unit
ed States will have an additional ad-
visor in his cabinet. John B. Kirk
vice president of the National Manu-
facturers, in speaking of the matter
said that the manufacturing interests
of this country had grown to such enor-
nous proportions that representation
in the presidents cabinet and the Off
cial care of their immense interests
were only too apparent. He said that
he strongly endorsed the plan for an
additional cabinet minister.

I pecially attractive because it was
known that this was only part of what
! he intended to give, and because some
eastern millionaire friends of his were
/ interested in establishing a Christian
college in this city.
GREAT ADVANTAGE TO THE CITY
Many of the citizens saw the great
! advantage to this city of securing a
college on so large a scale as this one
! proposed. but not many citizens were
| in a condition to put in the amount OIL
money necessary to secul the college
the amount of ground necessary and
have enough remaining ground to re
imburse themselves. But there were
two public spirited men, namely; Mr..
Gill S. Peyton and Mr.. E. II. Airs.
who thought Dr. JackSon'S offer was
too valuable to the community to al
low it TO be lost Accordingly when
they learned that the trustees had al
ready agreed upon a most beautiful
site, and that the only thing lacking to
make the site an ideal one was an ad-
ditional supply of water, these two
gentlemen came forward and pur-
chased the entire tract known as the
'Crismon Farm" lying southwest OF
the penitentiary along the county road,
containing $50 acres. These enterpris-
ing men have offered the college so
acres on condition that it shall be To-
Gated there, and the trustees have ac-
cepted the offer SO that Sheldon
Jackson college will be located on the
/ 'Crismon Farm property on the
beautiful plateau, just east of the
county road.
The ground itself is most attractive,
and the view which it commands of
the entire circuit of this wonderful
valley, with tie lake shimmering in
the distance, with the Oquirrh noun
tains on the west and the Wasatch on
! the east, is grand and beautiful be-

a BIT OF HISTORY.
When the Collegiate institute was eg-
tablished here in April. 1875. by Prof.
Coyner. it was the expectation that it
would be the stepping stone 10 a col
lege. Accordingly, in pursuance Of
this plan. the PreSbytery of Utah, in
about 1892 elected a board Of college
trustees for the purpose Of securing a
college site and taking the preliminary
steps TO establish college, to which
the twenty-six mission schools with
their sixty-one teachers and 2,400 lu-
pills. and the four aca denies already
!. established at Mount Pleasant, Spring
vile. Salt Lake city. and Logan were
TO be tributaries. The trustees had
looked at q great many sites, but none
seemed to meet all the important re-
ouirements of the case until the
present site was offered The proposed
establishment of a college was made
a sure and definite thing last May,
when Or. Sheldon Jackson. one of the
pioneer leaders of Presbyterian mis-
sions in this region. who has, in The
past few years providentially come
into possession of a handsome prop
erty. made 10 the trustees this tangi-
bic offer: That upon certain conditions
being COMPLIED with. one Of which was
that the citizens should provide suit

not less than fifty acres. he would
give to the institute $4,000 and guar

should become self-supporting Dr.
