forced from their homes at the point
of the bayonet, and men, women and
children, sick, dying and shelterless,
were driven to the bleak western
shore OF the Mississippi-the while
their brethren Of the Mormon Battal-
ion were marching to fight their
country's battles in Mexico! Hun
ger, and cold and sickness overcamc
many, and death claimed them.
Some of the survivors fastened for
ward toward the advance companies
Of the Camp of Israel, others found
temporary rest at keokuk, and
others reached st. Louis and differ
ent places. The exodus from ILL
nois was in scenes OF deepest sorrow
and anguish upon an outraged
Christian community, Yet in their
hour OF greatest trial the God whom
they trusted was merciful and good
to them, causing the savage Indian,
and even the wild animals and birds,
to show them greater kindness than
they had found among a protested
Christian civilization in the state
where were their temple, their beau
tiful city, and the many thriving vii
lagos they had occupied.
Meantime the Camp OF Israel on
the Missouri prepared to go into
winter quarters. The exiles were
treated kindly by the Omaha and
Pottawatomie Indians, who obtained
mutual advantage by being assisted
in harvesting and building. Council
Bluffs ferry was put in operation. On
the east side Of the Missouri the settle
ment OF Kanesville was established;
and on the west side, at what is now
Florence, Nebraska, five miles above
Omaha, was built the town Of Win
ter Quarters, which consisted of
seven hundred houses of logs, turf
and other crude material, neatly laid
out in streets, with places Of worship,
and was divided into twenty-five
ecclesiastical wards, each with a
Bishop. The place was fortified af-
ter the fashion Of the frontier,
There some four thousand Mormons
passed the winter, while Garden
Grove, Mount Pisgah, and other
places gave the exiled Saints refuge
during the winter months.

They have built up one OF the
largest trades Of any house in the
State. They occupy a commodious
two-story building for a factory and
salesroom, which is filed with choice
goods in their line.
The factory gives emeiss=..czt to
forty hands, ~ho are constantly en-
ployed. Their pay roll amounts to
a large sum annually, being one OF
the largest in the city. The value
OF their plant and stock aggregates
S25, 900 and their sales range from
500, 600 to SIS, 600 annually.
They sell goods throughout Utah
and the surrounding states, and their
trade is constantly increasing. The
quality of the goods manufactured
by this firm is such that they are in
constant demand all over the sections
in which they are sold The Solo
mon Brothers are philosophical,
liberal and enterprising gentlemen,
standing deservedly high both as
merchants and citizens.
The younger Of the brothers,
Alfred, was marshal and chief OF
police Of the city for four years.
During his official career he was
recognized as an honest, con-
scientous man and gallant off
Ger. He is universally esteemed
and respected by all who have
the pleasure of his acquaintance,
and is recognized as man OF ability
IN commercial circles.
Connected with the firm and CIV
ing to it young blood and enterprise
are Alfred Z. Solomon, foreman Of
the factory, Brigham Solomon, Rich
ard H. Solomon, and Charles +.
Solomon; and Frederick Beesley,
bookkeeper and salesman.
AS firm the Solomon Brothers
add greatly to the building up of the
citys interests and deserve classif-
cation among the leading CONNER
cial and industrial enterprises of Salt
Lake and Utah.

START OF THE PIONEERS.

The winter OF 1867 was indeed
dreary to the migrating Mormons,
who suffered greatly from sickness
and inadequate shelter. There were
many deaths during the winter, and
it was with feeling of relief that the
approach Of spring was hailed, so
the Journey westward might begin.
On January ID, lS47, the Presi
dent OF the Church issued directions
to the people in "The word and will
of the Lord concerning the Camp of
Israel in their journeyings to the
West" This manifesto gave direc-
tons for organization, equipment,
discipline, care Of the poor and
afflicted, and promises Of the Lord 5
blessings if the instructions were OBJ
served. 1t was directed to those
who should move westward in the
early spring as well as those required
to remain behind for a time.
As early as the opening Of spring
permitted, active preparations were
entered upon to start out a Pioneer
band who should open the road ito
the place where the Lord shall To-
cate a Sake of Zion." For this
purpose one hundred and forty-four
men were selected to precede the
main body OF the camp; among these
were few non Mormons who had
united their fortunes with the Saints.
Besides the men, three women and
,wo children were permitted to ioin

SOLOMON BROTHERS.
A Historical Sketch of One of the
Pioneer Firms of Utah,
BOTH ENTERPRISlNG AND RELIABLE.


Few of the business houses OF Salt
Lake City can advance SO many
claims to public notice and favor as
the one whose name stands at the
head of this article. Their long ex-
perience, the high standing which
the firm has always maintaiaed in
the mercantile world; the honorable
reputation it bears all over the west
as well as the magnitude of its bus
mess operations, all unite to render
Solomon Brothers deserving Of the
highest commentator in the pages
of work devoted to an impartial
presentation Of the advantages of
Utah and Salt Lake City from a
commercial and industrial standpoint.
This house has had a most creditable
and prosperous career.
Just ten years later than the Pio-
neers Of AZ, Mr.. Alfred Solomon
came to Salt Lake. He was young
man, but skilled in his trade, as the
following incident shows: Soon after
arriving, he applied for work at a
shop where a number Of hands we're
employed making pegged shoes.
He spoke Of the kind of work he
had been accustomed to, and was
told that he would not be able to
make shoes like they made them
in this country. He was willing to
try, however, and was given some
work, and sitting down among those
who had been driving pegs long
enough to have become experts, he
soon caught the knacb, and at the
close of the day had made more
shoes than any OF them.
He was desirable hand and had
no difficulty in getting employment
in the best shops in town, and soon
was employed as foreman at the shop
of Mr.. Robert Golding.
A few years later his brother,
James, arrived and he too soon
secured steady employment, and
gained reputation as an expert and
reliable workman.
The two brothers labored together
and soon established a factory of
their own. They purchased the
stock and machinery belonging to
VIM. Jennings, who up to that time
had been one OF the principal shoe
manufacturers OF Utah.
Demand for the product of their
factory increased steadily and rapidly
and they were obliged in short
time to increase their capacity and
facilities and consequently the num-
Der of their employees.
For more than twenty years they
have been engaged in the business Of
wholesale and retail dealers and
manufacturers Of boots and shoes at
10 S. East Temple street, James
Solomon being a salesman OF life
long experience, and Alfred having
general oversight of the factory.

Sam Williamson.

Although only two years in bust
ness for himself, Mr.. Williamson
has established widespread reputa-
ton among the people Of this city as
an honest and shrewd business man.
His place of business is located at
IL w. First South street Groom u
in the wholesale OF grain, flour, hay,
and mill stuff. Any one having
business In this line OF trade would
do well to call on him before going
elsewhere; $4,000 bushels OF wheat
were shipped by him during the past
year.

plan. Such was Presi-
dent Polk S scheme. But
Senator Thomas Benton
Of Missouri, a bitter en-
envy to the Mormons, had
it changed to a call on the
Saints for volunteers to
form a portion OF General
Kearney's force to invade
New Mexico and Cali
fornia, Thus any project
to aid the Mormon migra-
ton fell through. But the
battalion of five hundred
and forty-nine Mormon
volunteers was raised, al
though it was a very
heavy draft upon the
exiles' camps. The date
Of enlistment was July 10,
1876.
While these events
were occurring, the Saints
in Nauvoo and the sur
rounding country were
leaving as fast as they
could. But the mobo-
Gratis had imbrued their
hands in blood and were
not satisfied. They con-
tinued to harass the Nor
mons, until on Septem-

m tragic story is not fully to be re-

About this time the ship Brooklyn
.,isd from New York with two
i i and thirty-hye Saints in
I.b,rpe of Elder Samuel Brannan,
,beir destination being San Fran
ei,co. then Yerba Buena. Brannan
believed the ultimate destination OF
Ne Saints would be California. His
company was supplied with farming
implements, printing press, ETC.,
nd he published the California Star
When he arrived on the coast-the
pioneer paper of the Golden State,
brannan had entered into a compact
With A. G. Benson and others, by
which the Mormons were to turn
over to the Benson combination
much of the land they might acquire
b the country where they settled.
Il was said that the parties repre-
sented by Benson included even
President Polk, and that if the Nor
nors agreed to the proposition they
you'd be protected and allowed to
proceed on their journey unmolested;
4 not, President Polk was to send
troops to intercept their flight, dis
arm, and dispense them. On Feb
mary II, at Sugar Creek, a council
o. the Twelve met and considered
DE foregoing statements regarding
he compact with Benson, made in a
bitter from Brannan, The PROPOSE
tOr was rejected, and the schemer
Benson and his company were
treated with silent contempt.
The Twelve paid final visit to
Nanyoo and the Temple which

dred Regulators" as they styled
themselves, began the bombardment
of Nauvoo. The city's defenders
numbered about four hundred. On
the 18th, the battle Of Nauvoo,"
the severest engagement during the
investment of the place, was fought,
the Regulators" being rcpulsed.
September 10, through the media
ton OF a committee from Quincy, the
city surrendered, under a pledge

tons. So, at various points, such
as Garden Grove and Mount Pisgah,
lands were fenced, log cabins built,
and crops planted for the benefit of
those who remained for time or
should follow.
Day after day, the exiled Saints
struggled westward over the plains
of Iowa. The weather was cold and
stormy, the roads in deplorable
condition, the streams at times i'm
passable, and miry marshes often
blocked the way. Sometimes halt
was for weeks at time; some days
only three or four miles advance
could be made. On March 27, at
Shoal Creek, where three weeks
delay occurred, the camp was more
fully organized. The companies
we're kept in excellent order, and
the strictest regulations Of a religious
community enforced. By the mid
die of June the first companies
reached the Missouri river.
1t had been determined to send
forward a picked band of pioneers to
explore the Rocky Mountain region,
and Elder MILFORD Woodruff was re-
cruiting the members Of the party at
Mount Pisgah, when an event &C.
Cured which deferred the long west
ern journey another year.
The war with Mexico had broken
out, and a call was made on the
Mormons for five companies of vol
unteers for the United States army.
Previous TO the outbreak of war, APP
plication had been made to Presi-
dent Polk to aid the Mormons on
their western journey by employing
them in freighting provisions and
naval stores to Oregon and other
Pacific coast points. While this
was being considered, news of the
commencement Of hostilities deter
mined President Polk upon using
the migrating Mormons for obtain
ing possession Of California, a thou
sand of them to make dash tor that
section and take it in the name
of the United States. This army
was to be equipped by the gov
ernment; and a thousand more
Mormons were to be sent by sea
around Cape Horn to aid in the

that the occupants would be pro-
tected from violence.
The terms of this agreement were
grossly violated by Brockman and
his Regulators" who proceeded to
work their will upon the helpless in
habitants. Insult and plumber were
the rule. Finally all the Mormons
who had not fled from the town were
