1.-The cracker business and the baking of
bread is very good at present said J; b.
Hedyt of st. Louis at the Kenyon last
evening. Il have never seen a better
season than the present, and 1 have been
in the business nearly forty years OF
course the trust started in to seize and
corral every important bakery in the
country, and did get possession of a great
many. / was offered a very good price
for my plant but | had made il grow
from very small concern to its present
dimensions. 1 concluded / could run it
without any aid from the trust. and / de-
clined all offers. My business is perfectly
satisfactory, and l don't believe l have
lost a dollar by not entering the trust.
My bakery and factory works night and
day and i have no trouble in disposing of
all the product L can turn out"
George r. Hurlburt of the Baltimore
said:
The smelter strike in Colorado is by
no means settled. 1t has devolved into a
contest of capital verses labor: by that
mean 1t is whether the agitators from
various points or the actual labor of Colo
RADIO Will carry the point. There was no
difference between the smelter owners
and the employees, even after the eight
hour law became fact. until the agitators
from the Couer d Alene and othe points
came into our state and started the agi-
tation. Really the smelter men were sat
istied until the difficulty was started by
paid agitators, or walking delegates. as
they are termed by some organizations.
1 do not look for an adjustment of the
question in any short time. One thing
is sure, the mine owners are with the
smelter owners in this matter"
Out of the many commercial men that
visit Salt Lake, one of the most congenial
and successful is George F. Macarthur,
who sells nothing but high-class station
cry from Holyoke, Mass. He is at the
Kenyon and will be in the city several
days Speaking of his trade last evening
he said: I sell nothing but stationery
that IS, writing paper, and that only of
the higher grades; no envelopes; that is
a distinct branch. Our trade is very
large in the west and we always get our
share in Salt Lake City and Utah. This
season We will increase our trade fully
80 per cent in Utah While trade has been
good everywhere. l find no place where il
appears TO be better than in this state.
and 1 am most supremacy satisfied with
my annual visit here
Sold more finery here this trip than ]
ever did before said Julius Lyons OF
Minneapolis at the Knutsford yesterday
He is in the millinery line and has a big
| trade in the intermOuntain section. MY
sales in Utah and Idaho this season are
fully double what they have ever been.

and while am awaiting trade here at the
hotel, thought L was all through.

A. J; Wurtz Of Pittsburg, the repre-
sentative and electrical expert of the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing
company OF P1ttSburg, is at the KENYON
just returned from Provo.
L went to Provo to inspect the electric
light plant there. and to specially look
after its protection from electric storms
and lightning. The Provo plant is a very
me me one and transmits power to Mercur. a
distance of thirtyfive miles. To do so
the highest voltage known is employed
and that is why came out to INVESTIGATE
The voltage is 1000, something terrific.
when 1t comes to power, and heretofore
unheard Of 1t is not so great a wonder
that this terrific electrical power is trans
mltted. but whether it could be done with
SSaylety ana reliability was conundrum.
however. It is IN successful operation. 1t
mas not had particle of trouble. and has
eNperlenced no interference from light
ming nor electrical storms
The Westinghouse company has its
lightning arresterS' in service on the svs-
tenn. and so far they have proven effect
ual. The object of my visit was to thor
oughly inspect the plant, as il has nut
our 'arresters' to the severest test tbev
have ever been subjected. Thus far | am
thoroughly satisfied"
Toys have progressed with the times u
said John n. Kleff of New York at the
Kenyon yesterday. "Of course we progress
all the time but good times benefit ms
beyond any novel inventions that may be
devised. This year my trade is larger by
far than it has ever been. and when
leave Salt Lake City it will be with the
satisfaction that my business here has
been far more than 1 anticipated.
Toys this season are more novel and
ingenious than ever before, and as a rule
are more expensive than they have been
in former seasons. Some very novel con-
trlVanceS have been invented and | pity
the ordinary man if his offspring could
come in and select their choice However
the sales L have made demonstrate that
money is loose"
