of health. amusement, recreation or in

We understand, of course that the
old world will always draw to itself
many thousands of our people because
| of it's historical and religious interest,
its scientific, artistic and musical adj
vanta ges, and we admit that this is
proper and desirable; but we do be-
lieve that America, and particularly
the western portion thereof, is entitled
, from all the standpoints of interest TO
more attention from a certain class
Of Americans than it has heretofore
received.
AS conditions now exist many of our
people are heard raving over the beau
ty of the Trossachs, the glory of the
Rhine, the magnificence of the Alps,
who have never seen and have but
small conception of the grandeur of
the Rocky Mountains or the spIendor
of the Columbia river
In an effort to rectify 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 bust
ness men of the western part of the
United States and of the Republic of
Mexico
Arrangements are now being perfect
ed for a conference of the Governors
of the states and territories affected
together with representatives of the
chief commercial organizations of the
west and of the railroads operating in
the interested section at which the
Commercial Club will present for con-
sfderation a detailed, definite and
comprehensive plan of procedure. This
conference has been called for Janu-
airy Is. 1906.
The particular object of this COM
munication is to solicit the aid of your
paper in making the movement a sue
cess. 1t is earnestly hoped that, in
view of the great interests involved
and the far-reaching character of the
proposed exploitation of western re-
sources and attractions, you will find
it consistent with the policy of your
paper to lend us your help.
We have the honor to remain.
Very sincerely,
Committee: HEBER NJ. WELLS,
Pres Commercial Club, Chairman;
RICHARD P. MORRIS, Mayor Salt

committee passed a recommendation

AS to taking down fences all over
the city, it was stated that in some
instances where it came to be a ques-
ton of whether new fence should be
erected or battered one taken down,
it would be cheaper and an improve
ment to get rid of the old fence. It
was decided also, that residents would
greatly aid in city improvement If
they used green paint or stain on rough
fences rather than whitewash, which
was glazing to the eyes and soon peeled
off
A letter was read from Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction Rabbit stat
ing that it was not expedient or for the
benefit of students to have the stone
wall removed from the High School
premises. Mr. Gartley said he had
heard one of the objections to its re-
moval was because it gave the young
lady students some privacy from the
street, and they enjoyed the freedom
of the yard during recesses under such
circumstances and would not if the
wall were removed. Mr.. Gartley sug-
gested, however, that if the wall were
treated to coating of paint it would
