WANAMAKER,S.

Has been built, up on the Third
Floor, Market street side-a wide
ish, narrow-ish, twisty street, with
funny old shops on either side, and
one shop that is in the middle of
the street through peryersest Oddly
of all.
Well, all those shops are stores
for the selling of Christmas goods,
stores holding funny old goods and
modern goods, too, shown and sold
amid funny surroundings.
Queer, quaint, interesting.
But the goods are Wanamaker
goods, sold really in the usual safe
Wanamaker way, very different
from the old way-same in prices;
same every way as the regular
stocks here, except for their strange
surroundings. The idea is really
decorative holiday unusualness.
Sixteen selling places along this
street.

The City Mattress Co.

An industry worthy of especial
mention is the mattress manuiactur-
ing business as conducted bv the
City Mattress Co., w. d. Cline,
general manager, $40 South Main
street.
MIR. Cline commenced business in
this city two years ago, coming from
Birmingham, Ala. where he was cx-
tenslyely engaged in the manufacture
OF mattress bedding and upholstery
Tor a number of years. He is the
original and first manufacturer Of all
cotton mattresses in the State of
Utah.
Mr.. Cline is practical upholsterer
and mattress maker, and owes his
success to this fact alone. lie first

in performing various duties. That
day hunter discovered about three
hundred hostile Indians encamped
twelve miles ahead. When the
company was called together at 8 a.
m. next morning, rigid orders for
safety we're given, the guard was in
creased, and the forward movement
made carefully. No hostiles were
encountered, but they had burned
the grass, making it difficult to find
feed for the animals. A Frenchr.an
who discovered the Pioneers from
across the river, and who said he
had come from Laramie in sixteen
days, came over this day, the 4th;
he stated that there was a good road
and plenty of grass south Of the
river. But the Pioneers preferred
to make a new road for the Saints,
and to brave the Indians and burn
ing prairies in so doing, This road
is for several hundred miles the
route of the Union Pacific railway.
The Frenchman, Charles Beaumont,
intended to go to tie Missouri river,
and kindly consented to take fifty or
sixty letters back to Winter Quar-
tiers, to the families of the Pioneers.
On the 5th the journey was pro-
ceeded with, and at night camp was
made on the burnt prairie, 10 escape
the fierce prairie-hrcs that consumed
the grass in all directions and made
the situation of travellers very dan
gerous. The next day the burnt
district was passed. Immense
herds ofbuiialo were seen; in fact, on
the Sth it was estimated that at least
a hundred thousand were in sight
that day. They ate all the grass, so
the teams were scant of food. The
members of the camp had great DIFF
iiculty in guarding the teams from
the vast herds of buffalo, which were
at times in great danger The Pho
neers only killed such Of the animals
as were needed for food, and in
many instances, when young buffalo
calves were in the way of the train $
progress, the men carried them to a
distance to prevent them following
the camp. On this date William
Clayton placed a small cedar post on
the ground, after inscribing on it
with pencil, to be seen by succeed
ing companies: From Winter
Quarters 295 miles. May s, 1S47.

After a Sunday rest on May 9th,
the journey was resumed. Before
starting, a letter was left in a board,

band in swarms, demanding presents.
The Pioneers gave them powder,
lead, salt, tobacco and flour, but the
Indians we're not quite satisfied with
the amount, although they displayed
no hostility. The noon encamp-
ment of the Pioneers was not pro-
longed, although storm was APP
preaching and the weather grew
very cold. Just after starting, a
heavy rain storm came on, accom-
panied by much lightning and thun-
der. Travel was difficult and mis-
cradle, but the company kept on for
three and a half hours, stopping at
$40, less than ten miles from the
Indian encampment. That night a
double guard was put on the camp.

the others in guarding, The night

In this electrical age. the elcctri.
clan and dealer in electrical supplies,
fills a most important position in the
commercial world. Among the
leading opponents Of this line Of en-
tcrprise in Salt Lake City, is Mr.. Z.
G, Holding, 40 w. First South
street. The business was established
eight years ago, and has necessarily
flourished. Mr.. Holding is an cleo
trician of considerable ability. Some
idea of his ability may be gained
from the knowledge that all the cleo
trical supplies in and work done at the
Salt Lake Temple, the State Univer.
sity building, the Tcmpleton hotel,
any many OF the public and private
buildings in the city, and also num-
Der of the Latter-day Saints meeting
houses, are the result of his work.
He always gives his personal atten-
ton to all work entrusted to him,
and pays strict attention to the
smallest details. He makes a spec
ialty Of electric lighting, and also
furnishes dynamos, motors, tele-
phones, annunciators, burglar alarms,
medical batteries, telegraph instru-
ments, etc. He also carries a fine
stock of electrical supplies, and is
prepared to till orders OF any magni-
tude He is the pioneer in the bust
ness in this city and has acquired a
very large business. He has been
engaged in the present line of bust
ness many years. He is highly es-
teemcd and as fast as electricity
advances, so will his business.
