USE UTAH IRON.

Truth suggests to the smelting
companies that they can assist in
building up this state and keep some
OF the money at home if they will buy
and use Utah iron for fuxing pur.
poses, instead of sending outside the
commonwealth for it. There are i'm
mense deposits of iron in Utah that
might be used; which can be utilized
cheaper than the material now hand
led. At present the smelters are US
ing iron from Palisade, Nevada, that
has to be hauled by wagon IL miles
to railroad and are paying a rate
higher than could be charged any
where in this state. For some unac.
countable reason the smelter peopI
will not use the Utah iron unless
they can get it at their own figures
which are much less than at present
paid and they decline to enter into
contracts, unless permitted to dictah
ruinous terms, preferring to pay more
for the product of another state than
to using their own. There are i'm
mense deposits of iron here the own.
ers of which would be very glad to
sell, but the smelter men decline to
do business on a basis that would
give the former a fair margain of
profit. The smelters do lot of good
in increasing the wealth of the state
and could do more if they tried Truth
thinks that a matter like this is one
which should interest the Commercial
club, because anything that tends to
increase the mineral production of
this state is of lasting benefit to the
people thereof.

SPRINKLE THE CAR TRACKS.

In good many streets in this city
the. car tracts are not sprinkled. The
city sprinkling carts wet the portions
of the streets not occupied by the
tracks, but the tracks are passed by
and as consequence dust flies
around and makes things almost as
,disagreeable as If no sprinkling was
done at all. In many cities the street
car companies, by arrangement with
the corporations, sprinkle the entire
streets on which their tracks run.
They have car sprinklers which run
as rapidly as ordinary street cars and
do the sprinkling expeditiously and
we'll at moderate cost to the cities. 1t
would be a good plan to adopt in Salt
Lake and might be done by the street
car company at less than it costs to
the city on the present plan
