He does not claim to make an old
garment new, but can cleanse or
color an old coat or dress quite
equal to new, and the owner will
wish he had tried it before. Many
individuals or families have hanging
away in their closets some article OF
wear which, lift were freshly dyed or
cleansed, would look quite like a
new garment and save a great ex-
penditure in clothing. Economy

ED, W, CENTER,
Successor the Salt Lake Abstract, Title,
Guarantee 4 Trust Co,

The necessity and importance of
professional title searchers receives
growing recognition, and the courts
Of many states have determined their
right in the offices that are the re-
posltories Of public records. In 1898
Mr.. Ed. w. Center succeeded the
Salt Lake Abstract, Title, Guarantee
& Trust Co., whose plant is the
oldest, clearest and best arranged in
this section. Mr.. Center attends to
all business that relates to titles TO
real estate and furnishes complete
abstracts. He is especially well
equipped for the business and his
abstracts are regarded as most reli-
able. The old Salt Lake Abstract,
Title, Guarantee & Trust Co., were
regarded as possessing the most
complete plant in the west, and MIR.
Center, under whose supervision
the records were compiled, having
access to all the records Of that com
pany, can boast facilities nowhere
else duplicated in this city. Mr..
Center is native of Ohio. He
came to Salt Lake ten years ago
and has since figured as one Of our
most able and active business men.
handsomely appointed Offices, pro-
vided with absolutely fire proof
vaults and furnished with steel roller
book cases of the latest design are
maintained at $50 Main street. The
records consist OF about 100 volumes
Of go pages each, all handsomely
bound.

The organization of Utah Terri
tory in 1880 materially reduced the
boundaries from those of Deseret,
especially by the southern limit of
the thirty.scventh parallel, which cut
off Arizona, the greater portion of
New Mexico, and a part of what is
now California, ard which included
the seaport OF San Diego. This de-
prived Utah of having within its own
borders open communication with
the Pacific. Later, Nevada and a
portion of Colorado and Wyoming
we're taken from Utah, reducing it to
its present area.

Elder Heber c. Kimball was the
first to move towards the noun
tains. On April sth, after the
Pioneers had been selected, but be-
fore formal organization had taken
place, he took six of his teams, and
leaving Winter Quarters formed a
camp at spring about four miles
westward. This was a nucleus ior
the others to gather to.
The next day, Tuesday, April
9th, was the seventeenth General
Conference OF the Church, and ii
was held at Winter Quarters. On
the 9TH President Young and Others
joined the moving body, which
camped ten miles from Winter Quar-
tiers, On the Sth, the Apostles who
had joined the van returned to meet
Elder Farley P. Pratt, who had ar
rived at Winter Quarters from Eng
land, and on the 9th they started
again for the Pioneer camp, which
had reached the Elkhorn river,
thirty-fve miles, and which they re-
joined on April nth. The stream,
which was about one hundred and
fifty feet wide and four feet deep,
was crossed by means of a raft.
Next day, the 18th, President
Young and the Apostles with him
started once more for Winter Quar-
tiers to meet Elder John Taylor,
who had returned from Europe,
bringing over $500 in gold con
tributed to the Church by the Saints
in Great Britain. Leaving affairs on
the Missouri in charge Of Elders p.
P. Pratt, John Taylor and Orson
Hyde, with Isaac Morley and
Newell X. Whitney as committee
to superintend the emigration, on

companions left Winter Quarters Z

A Telling Retort.
TN. o. Daily States.I

The Globe-Democrat endeavors
to make a strong point against the
Democratic party by recalling the
splits that have occurred in its
ranks. To this the Courier-J ournal
no less pointedly than truthfully
thus responds:
at may be said, however, that no
party which has not a great and
lasting principle behind it could
have survived such series of splits.
The truth is that as long as the
party, or its various factions, re-
main loyal to the fundamental prin-
ciple of local self-government it
will survive all factional dissen-
sions.
"And its record, even in it's dis
sensiofs, is an honorable one when
compared with that of the Repub-
lican party. 1t is only men Of hon.
est convictions who can split a
party. The Republican party has
not split because it has subordinat-
ed convictions to power. It COM
promises differences of principle in
order to secure or retain Office. Its
financial record is one series of
such compromises, and to-day,
though there is q large element of
that party opposed to high protec-
ton, the whole party will swallow
without grimace the odious Din
