The leather goods department is now
turning out 800 pairs Of boots and shoes
per day, and the fabric department Is
turning out from 90 to 100 dozens daily

In these two lines has been immense.
In response to a question Col. Weber
stated that he believed II would be a
good thing for the Commercial club
committee on manufactures TO publish
list OF articles which could be man

view to calling attention Of capital
lists and investors to the matter, There
are so many things that can be manu-
featured here that It is hardly worth
while TO waste time in regrets over
such things as can not be turned out

WITH THE WOODEN MILLS.
In talk yesterday with a "News'
representative. on local manufacturing
interests, Mr.. j. G. Cutler said. The
Provo wooden mill has shown It's
faith in manufacturing by putting IN
additional machinery, and Is turning
out this year over % per cent more
goods than 1t has manufactured In
previous years. At a recent visit to the
mills we see that they have built one
OF the most modern weave rooms In
America. In fact, there is not bet
eter one In the United States for the
class OF goods that they make. The
light is uniform. all coming from north
windows. This enables the weaver TO
make perfect goods and Is so different
from some Of the old mills where the
light is so poor that the weaver can
scarcely see TO weave, They have y
of the latest improved broadgauge
looms in this one room, and It is a
great sight TO see them all at work
filling the great number of orders
ahead, in fact, enough to keep the
machinery busy for some months to
come. This mill furnishes work to over
200 persons, all OF whom are paid as
high wages as are paid by any mill in
the country.
"rhe mill has bought nearly one mil
lion pounds of wool this season ana
has stock enough TO last one year
ahead, This is one feature that Is en-
tirely different from all eastern mills,
which often have only from two TO
three weeks supply of wool and other
material on hand, The goods from this
mill have earned an enyiable reputd-
ton in the east. and It seems pity
that instead OF having to send their
goods east to be manufactured into
clothing and returned to this state, that
there are not clothing manufacturing
interests here to make the cloth up
into clothing, and thus give additional
employment to the people Of the state

THE knitting industry Is becoming
an important one, and there are num-
