A ST. LOUIS CELEBRATION.

II present plans prevail 81, Louis win
have a grand fair In celebration OF the
purchase OF Louisiana by the United
States The city proposes to appro-
PIRATE 5000 900 Tor the purpose private
citizens are expected 90 subscribe a sIm-
Mar amount and Congress Is to be asked
for another S5.00Oo0o with that
amount TO spend on celebration, ST.
Louis should be able to do fun JUS
tlce 90 The occasion
What the addition Of Louisiana means
to the country is pointed out by an ex-
change which proves by figures, that
OF the Ji1O0OO0O bushels Of wheat
produced 10 the United states last
year 300 600 bushels came from the
Louisiana purchase States, and oregon
and Washington. which the Louisiana
purchase enabled the United states 20
hold. Further. that an the horses and
mules and an the beef used by the army
OF the United states IN the late war
with Spain. came from this section,
which is now furnishing Great Britain
most Of the horses and mules that she
IS using IA the South African war. and
IS 40 the same time contributing largely
TO the food supply Of the British Is
lands. 1t certainly is "a great marvel
how the natural expansion Of this
country has been a boon TO all the
world. either directly or indirectly. The
Louisiana purchase exhibition IN 1903,
forms a very important epoch In the his
tory Of the western empire, hut the
event Il commentaries has significance
far beyond the United states. The fair
should be truly a worlds fair.
The idea OF celebrating the Louis
lana purchase IN this manner, by an eN-
hlbltion Of the arts and industries that
now flourish on what was not long ago
a barren waste suggests that Ia anoth-
or hundred years the millions OF the
Philippines, OF Hawaii. Cuba and Porto
Rico, may feel prompted 20 celebrate
the year OF liberty in some such man
ner. A hundred years is short time
comparatively, yet much can be accom-
plished IA that Time when the condl-
lions are favorable TO growth, What
has been done IN Manila, In the brief
period OF a few months, In the indus
trial, commercial and educational lines
gives an idea Of what a century may
bring forth. All fears Tor the future
should be silenced IN the contemplation
OF the past. What has taken place Will

A GRAND OCCASION.

One Of the most interesting occasions
IN the history OF this State, viii be the
celebration Of President Brigham
Young's birthday. Il is pretty well
known that he was born June j. 1901,
almost a century ago. His surviving
family have annually commemorated
that event, and this year have made
arrangements for general gathering,
Of those Of his friends and admirers
who can assemble, 10 do honor to one
who has figured so prominently IN the
important events OF the most remark
able century Of the worlds existence
The statue erected 10 his memory
in this city is TO be dedicated, there
is to be a trip 10 saltair where a fine
programme viii be rendered. the rail-
roads will convey visitors 70 and from
Salt Lake City for a single fare; every
thing possible viii be done to make
the day pleasurable to all who partlei-
pate In the ceremonies.
It Is very gratifying to see the inter-
est that Is being taken by the public
in this celebration. Brigham Young Is
beginning to be recognized by the world
as one Of lie notables, a great leader OF
men. an original thinker, a practical
worker who. under Divine guidance led
on AFFLICTED and poor people through the
wilderness 20 these now verdant val
leys. where they have become prosper
Gus aud wealthy, and thus added a Wig
orous and mighty state to the AmerI-
can Union.

Of the Lord. whose couusels and teach
ings have been 10 them Of such i'm

ample IN numerous branches Of profit

others. not Of his faith, should honor
the man who opened up this region
then a desert, to human habitatlon and
those glories with which this arid waste
has been TRANSPORTED.
Let the people Of Utah. Of all creeds
and parties unite in making the cele.
bratlon Of his birthday in the year Of

A WONDERFUL UNDERTAKING

In consequence Of circumstances that
have surrounded many Of the people OF
Utah in past times, not very remote,
there has arisen a dislncllnatlon 10
answerquestions from unknown persons
regarding the residents OF houses, their
occupation, ages, number Of children,
etc, etc Also on the part Of farmers.
stook-raisers, manufacturer and others
TO AFFORD information concerning their
business. This reluctance has been in
creased because Of impertinent queries
from peddlers and irresponsible callers,
who have seemed to be prompted by
audacious curiosity and sometimes by
evil designs.
All that is very natural FOR the rea-
sons we have mentioned. But It should
be understood that official gathering Of
statistics Is a very different matter. Il
is desirable for public purposes, and
occasionally for directories, that data
be collected and accuracy cannot be
secured without house-to-house can
