HENRY WILLING.
Former Salt Lake Minister on the

A Butte special to the Herald, thus
quotes Rev. Alfred H. Henry, for many
years Salt Lake minister, on the
much discussed senatorial question:
"Mr. Smoot is a man OF fine business
ability and 10 not a polygamist," said
Mr.. Henry. III elected by the legisla-
ture there can be no valid grounds for
opposition TO him any more than there
would be against bishop Of the Meth
odist church or other Christian denom-
nation. The only fact to be considered
is that he is an Apostle OF the Church,
yet this Is no legal ground for opposl-
ton. The danger from "Mormonism"
Is In the absolute power OF the Priest.

political ambitions Its doctrines and
system should be opposed and COM

one of the largest and most prosper

Of their goods extends almost all over
the United States, as In the
past few years their output has
been sent to many OF the
eastern and western states, and
they have regular sales branch for
the east In the city Of Chicago.
The Chicago agent Of the Provo
Wooden Mills company handles the out

popular are the goods that his demands
cannot be satisfied. Indeed Mr.. John
{. Cutler OF the Utah agency OF the
company, states that they could sell all
the goods they make In the east, II
they desired to do so. and they already
nave contracts for 1903, one year ahead,
to the full extent Of the factory's capa-

runs from s25OOOo to 100000. About $50
hands are employed.
Early In the coming year the new
weave room will be installed In a
building 75xl25 feet. The roof is now
going on and the looms will be installed
within 30 days. This viii give the COM
