FISHER HARRIS, ORATOR.
Delivers a Characteristic Speech Brim-

In the absence of Mayor Thompson
Fisher Harris delivered an address of
welcome that was characteristic OF his
own original style of oratory. He said
"The honorable Ezra Thompson, our
worthy mayor, is unavoidably, and
greatly TO his regret compelled TO DO
absent from this session of your con-
vention. He has done me the honor
to delegate to me the. pleasant duty OF
bidding you welcome here on behalf of
the city of Salt Lake, and has directed
me to assure YOU OF his profound re-
spect and also his great pleasure at
the fact that you have chosen this as
the place for holding the forty-third
convention OF Your important and
widely influential association.
That / am not at this moment in n
position to present you with the great
keys of the city Is due to the fact that
when the authorities learned of your
coming they unlocked everything in
the city and threw the keys away.

THE GOVERNORS SPEECH.
Discusses Subjects to be Gone Over in
Detail During Convention.

at is impossible for us to estimate
the Importance to Utah of this session
of the National Woolgrowers associa-
ton. The sheep industry is leading
element in the growth and prosperity
of our state. There are some two mil
lion sheep in Utah; their aggregate val
ue is about s7.000,0o0; the states net an
nual income from this source is approx
imately 100000.
From these figures 1t lis easily seen
what this industry means to the monied
interests of the state. 1t shows the inn
portance of everything possible being
done to preserve this wonderful flow OF
prosperity, by keeping its source
healthy and uncontaminated. / am
pleased TO state that In Utah sheep are
practically free from scab and other In
fictitious diseases. For this condition
thanks are due to the state inspectors
and the efficient aid rendered them by
the government officials. And this as
ISOLATION shuold not be forgotten for its
work in helping brinA about these con-
ditlons. Speaking for lItah--apd sup
pose | should speak strongly for this
state-I can sincerely say that the Ma
tional Woolgrowers' Association is en-
titled TO the grateful acknowledgement
OF all our people.
NEED OF FACTORIES.
MY friends know that one OF my
hobbies Is the establishment of local
manufacturing enterprises. One great
present regret Is that of the many
woolen mills we have had In Utah, not
one Is now in operation. The causes
that have brought about their suspen-
sion are familiar TO you. One OF the
first manufacturing enterprises to be
established IN any new community is
naturally the wooden MILL one was es-
tablished here at a very early time.
While the people OF the east were re-
splendent In broadcloth and finished
dress goods. our Utah people were clad
in the rude Workmanship OF household
utensils But with the establishment OF
the WOODEN mills, first IN Provo ana
then In other places, they were enabled
10 clothe themselves IN the better fin
iHhed products of machinery With the
advent OF worsteds, however, the local
mills not having the machinery 10 make
these products, IL has been found neces-
sary TO suspend their operations for tho

manufacture of Worsteda, Worsted
yarns and other products In great de-
mand win be installed, and our fac
tories enter upon new era of prosperi-
ty. In the meantime. however, the
business OF knitting yarns into various
articles OF clothing Is being actively
prosecuted; and demand Tor worsted
yarn is being created,
