lions of industry-are getting the reward of six.
fold greater efficiency wrought by the machinery
of this age. If not land this is evident) 1t is
the province of every man to demand reason
why, even to questioning the very foundation or
government. Anything short of this is moral cow.
ardice Mr.. Gordon meets this question with
general denial He declares wealth is not con-
centrating. He laughs pauperism to scorn, ana
this too in face of the daily press reports OF It's
horrors Mr.. Maxwell joins him in this and
both declare the middle class are not disappear
ing, without knowing who or what they include
as middle class Socialists take statistics as they
are. The statement that the aSorer's reward is
but one-ffth of what he produces, and that he is
dispossessed of~all but one-sxth of the field OF
production by the machine, is an incontrovertible
fact substantiated by the thirteenth annual re-
port of the commissioner Of labor. 1t has no re-
lation to the manner in which Mr.. Gordon asserts
it has been obtained. Thus with these economic
facts lying at the base of existing conditions
socialists boldly ask how industry can continue
to 60 on without an increasing unemployed prob
lem upon the one hand and surplus OF products
on the other. The question is fairly put but re-
mains unanswered; my critics being unable to see
why with sixfold increased productive power
the world should be sx-fold better off and strange
as it may seem are apparently determined not to
see it. This reminds me that the slaves OF the
south fought against their own emancipation.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 25-To the Edi-
tor of The Independent: We beg leave to in
vite your attention to the movement inaugurated
by the Commercial club of this city looking to
the diversion into western channels of part
of the tide of tourist travel now flowing from
America to Europe.
conservative estimate made by reliable au-
thorities, places the amount OF money expended
in foreign countries during the season OF l9O4-5
by American sightseers at $150,00O,OO0.
This great paid in large part by
men and women in search of health pleasure
and recreation, who, though native to the United
States, were in comparative ignorance OF the
scenic, climatic and industrial advantages of that
portion of our country lying west OF the Missis.
sippi river.
1t will we think be readily admitted that any
material part of the amount named above, Ii
spent in western communities, would not only
make for their great financial betterment and
upbuilding, but would more desirably extend and
increase their general knowledge of what this
important section of the nation has to offer to
the seekers of health, amusement, recreation or
investment, who crowd foreign capitals and
pleasure resorts.
We understand of course that the old world
will always draw to itself many thousands OF
people because of it's historical and religious
interests, it's scientific, artistic and musical ad.
vantages, and we admit that this is proper and
desirable; but we do believe that America, and
particularly the western portion thereof is en-.
titled from all the stanGponts of interest to more
attention from certain class of Americans than
1t has heretofore received.
AS conditions now exist many of our people
are heard raving the beauty of the Trossachs
the glory of the Rhine the magnifcence of the
Alps, who have never seen and have but small
conception of the grandeur of the Rocky noun
tans or the splendor of the Columbia river
In an effort to rectfy the conditions of which
complaint Is here made the Commercial club of
Salt Lake City, has undertaken the work of
awakening interest in this subject among the
business men of the western part of the United
States and OF the Republic of Mexico

Warren, Feb. GAS we seldom see
any news from our busy little camp,
I'll just send in few lines SO people
will know this section of the earth is
still inhabited.
This has been an unusually pleasant
winter here-not more than one foot
OF snow and lots of fine weather. On
the south fork of Salmon, cattle and
horses have been on the range all win
ter, and lots of them are fat and sleek
while all are in good condition.
While there is no excitement in the
shape of boom this section of the
country seems very prosperous and
all are looking forward to good
lively season.
All the mines are working good
sized crews of men and good deal of
assessment work is being done.
The Mayfower is working quite
force of men at the present and turn
ing out some good ore. Under the
able management of James e. jewell
this mine may eventually be one of
the best in the State.
The Silver King is still working
few men, and several other mines are
employing a number Of men. Alto
gether our little camp assumes a very
lively appearance.
w. O. Hallowell was up from South
Fork few days since. Also Billie
Vermillion made us flying visit last
week. These gentlemen inform us
that the South Fork farmers intend
putting in very large vegetable crops
this year, as they look for larger
demand than usual.
Mrs. Shelter and sons have gone to
South Fork for few weeks to visit
friends.
Uncle George Dyer has been dan
gerously i'll for some time, but under
the splendid care Of DIR. Connell is
rapidly improving.
A big portion of the town turned
out Sunday for snow shoe ride and
from all accounts had ''big time. -
Mr.. Roubert and Billy Mitchell
came out from Big Greek yesterday
and they made the trip in two days,
stopping over night at Cadby's on
South Fork. They report an unus-
ually light winter in the mountains.
We are enjoying good mail service
this winter. Always ON time.
Billie Bonner came in from Thun-
der mountain quite recently.
Wish we could hear little more
wagon road talk.

II dtiola| Structure,

Portland, Feb. 15.-With almost
four months remaining before the OPP
ening of the Lewis and Clark EXPOSE
tion on June l, the demand for ex-
hibit space by manufacturers and
foreign government has been. so great
that not only is every square foot of
the original provision contracted for,
but much additional space as we'll.
Some time ago it was found necess-
airy to order an additional Exposition
structure, which is now being built.
The new building, which bears the
name Palace of Manufactures, Liberal
Arts and Varied Industries, will CON
tain 80, 900 square feet of exhibit
space, equaling in size the Agricul-
tural Palace, at present the largest
structure on the grounds.
1t has now been found necessary to
add to the space in the Palace of
Machinery, Electricity and Transport
alton, by adding two wings, one at
each end, each wing to be 100 100
feet. The building as it now stands
is 100 feet wide 500 feet long.
Work on the exposition structures
is progressing rapidly. Ten of them
are now completed, and the others
will be finished in few weeks. Only
exhibits of unusual attractiveness are
now being accepted, special attention
being paid to working exhibits which
show the process of manufacture rather
than the manufactured products.
