Hotel Needed.

Although considerable talk
has been heard of late in regard
to new hotel nothing tangible
is thus far in sight. Meanwhile
the city is losing both financially
and good name by not being able
to provide sufficient accommoda-
ton for strangers within her
borders.
1t is reported on good author
ity that ten or twelve people had
to leave town a few days ago be-
cause they could not find hotel
accommodations, all the avail
able rooms in town having been
taken. Now something should
be done. Surely there are per-
sons with money to invest in an
enterprise which off rs such safe
returns. For there can be no
question but what a suitable
hotel we'll managed can be made
to pay we'll in Lehi, even at the
present time with prospect Of
rapid growth.
The Commercial Club New
Industry Committee was in
structed some time ago to inves-
tigate and advertise the hotel
opening here with view of
getting some practical hotel peo
pie interested. The committee
seems to have done nothing.

Manufacturers and
Merchants Association

The organization recently
effected in Salt Lake City and
now known as the Manufacturers
and Merchants Association can
and will, no doubt, do much to-
ward developing the resources OF
this state. The organization has
for its object the development
and educational growth OF the
State of Utah. No more worthy
objects than these could be de-
sired for they mean the mater
ial and and intellectual prosper
ity of our country. 1t will be the
business Of this organization to
study public needs, to learn of
our best opportunities SO that
they may be utilized in admins
tering the prosperity of commune
tiles.
1t is well known that any man
who would succeed in business
affairs must advertise his wares,
he must place before the public
in an attractive form the objects
or subjects that constitute his
stock. Likewise a city or state
that would enjoy prosperity will
bring to the notice of capital,
seeking profitable Investment, the
states best resources.
This cannot be done by I'M
aided individual effort alone but
requires the united action OF an
entire people, Though we are
not in Salt Lake City we are in
hearty sympathy with the move

Opportunity for slav. n.,,.-,

The st Louis exposition afforded a
great opportunity for Chinese slave
dealers and white confederates in Cal
ifornia. The ring is said to have made
100000 already by importing large
numbers OF Chinese through San Fran
cisco for service at the exposition and
giving a bond OF $500 for each that he
or she will return to China within 20
days after The close of~the exposition
Very few Of the imported slaves will
ever return. and each OF them is worth
more than the $500 1t cost his or her
owner to make the landing.

Mr. Mark Pagan. is pointed OF t
as man who carries Christianity
into politics. In other words he
is a man who in his official acts
as mayor of great city suffers
himself to be guided by principles

The committee of one hundred which was ap-
pointed by Edward NJ Grout to bring about the
establishment of the University of Brooklyn
adopted resolution yesterday at its meeting in
the Long Island Historical Society rooms pro-
viding for cooperation with the Brooklyn In
stitute of Arts and Sciences in the selection of
site for the university.
The committee has favored tue East Side park
lands. but the institute has opposed this and has
had bin introduced in the legislature setting
aside these lands for a botSI1ical garden. Mr..
Grout, in explaining the resolution. said that If
lands We're undesirable for the university the
committee of fifteen would gladly ask the city to
purchase land for another site for the university
Mr.. Grout recommended that the legislature
be asked to amend the proposed act, which gives
the Board of Estimate power to proceed with
plans for the university so that the city may, if
necessary, purchase land for site.
letter was read from Edward NJ. Shepard
in which he favored the north side of the East
ern Parkway as a site for the university. and
one from A. Augustus Healy favOrinS the
scheme for a botanic garden.
A resolution was adopted and referred to the
committee of fifteen that the city be asked TO
buy land surrounding the university IN order
TO protect the approaches.
1t was voted TO reimburse Mr.. Grout for the
expense he has borne in his efforts toward the
establishment of university.
The bill which was recommended for adoption
by the legislature provides for the consolidation
and for the selection of land and the erection of
buildings.

NJ. TAIGNY ARRIVES.
Tells of Troubles i'm VenesueIa zcith
President Castro.

Olivier Taigny, recently French charge daft
flares at Caracas, whose departure from Ven
ezuela forced by the Venezuelan authorities
under orders from President Castro. arrived
here yesterday from Caracas on the steamer
Zulia. In expression and manner NJ Taigny is
Enthusiastically Partisan His dress yesterday,
however. was decidedly tropical and every time
there a Whit of wind through the steamer
pier the diplomat shivered.
The troubles of the charge, which eliminated
in the compulsory departure from his post and
for which treatment France will likely demand
apology, soon the Algeciras conference
is ended, began on september Is last.
President Castro in line with his anti-foreign
policy. seized the offices of the French Gable
Company, which the Venezuelan government
had sued for alleged completely in the Matos
rebellion. NJ. Taigny. on behalf of his govern
ment protested against this highhanded pro-
ceedng and incurred the undying displeasure
of Castro
One day last month the diplomat went down
TO La Guayra and boarded the French steamer
Martinique for letters which he would not trust
to the regular channels. When he attempted to
return the police who had received instructions
from Castro. at Mirafores refused to permit
him TO go ashore. whereupon he went TO Curacao
on the Martinique. On New Years Day the
name of NJ. Taigny omitted from the list Of
guests at the Presidents reception. Things
happened with rapidity after this. Diplomatic
relations were severed by France January
10 through William w. Russell. the American
Minister at Caracas Castro had previously re-
fused to receive NJ. Taigny.
The latter on his arrival yesterday said, IN
good Engllsh-which however. had decided
French accent-that he would confer with Am
bassador Jusserand at Washington He departed
for the capital in the afternoon
Il received no passports" he said, land no
written orders from the Venezuelan authorities
directing me to depart.
Castro needed money" continued NJ. Taigny;
he always wants money, He demanded $50. 900
increased annual tax from the French Cable
Company. which It refused to pay. Then he
seized the Company's property"
NJ. Taigny expressed the opinion that the peo-
pie in Venezuela were not in sympathy with
Castro in the dispute with France.

Men Who Haze BraUed Extreme
Cold GiUe Dinner for Nordenskj0Id.

About one hundred members of the Arctic Club
and the Explorers Club. many of them men who
have faced death from cold and starvation in the
regions of the North Pole, met last night at
farewell dinner given TO DR.. Otto Nordenskjold,
the explorer. The doctor will sail to-day for
his home in Sweden. where he will commence
preparations, according to announcement
made last night, for another voyage In search
of the South Pole.
Anthony Fiala, Captain Nicholson and DR.. F.
A Cook were present and spoke of their labors
in the polar regions. Colonel Brainard presided.
Captain Mikelsen described briefly his plans
for the expedition. He said he would start from
San Francisco, proceed to the Behrng Straits,
thence along the coast until he reached Banks
Island. where he would hire natives and dogs to
get him across Behring Sea He said he pur-
posed spending the year 1907 in study and eX-
ploration in that vicinity. In 1908 he would
start for the supposed land north OF Alaska. He
said the expedition would consist of only three
principals, with forty dogs and provisions for
40 days. If he found the land he expected. he
said he would not explore but would return TO
this country and fit out larger expedition
