work and planning to put the prop
critics in shape for heavy and economic
production, but we are now prepared
to ship the ore as fast as the railroad
company can furnish the ears. The
ears will average about 40 tons each.
We have put more men TO work in
the producing mines and the ore is
averaging well. We are not pav.ry

to our W ideas, for the benefit of

IS probable that sinking will be push

elaborate and comprehensive plans
for the development of this great
property.
George Wingfeld said they would
keep on going down as long as the
ore holds out if it takes them TO
China. The force of men employed IN
the Mohawk mine has been increased
by 100 men, and when the new 100

and the general distributing plant is
completed, operations ca. be success
fully carried on to a depth Of $500

to the rich ore bodies in the mine and
there is every indication that the
values will be found as high and ore
bodies fully as extensive at greater
depth.

There is no man in Salt Lake to
whom the city owes d bigger debt of
gratitude than Louis c. Kelsey, en-
gineer of all the municipal improve
ments and institutions Salt Lake
boasts.
A self-made man, rising from a poor
engineer to one of the finest positions
in the gift of western city, Mr.. KEEL
sey stands today as one of the chief
expert municipal engineers in the in
termountain country. Under his direct
supervision most of the pavement in
Salt Lake City has been laid. the
sewers put III, water mains laid and
other improvements too numerous to
mention have been carried to a
successful contamination. Mr. Kel-
sey was born in Boone county,
Kentucky, June 1, 1867. In 1870
his father moved with his family
remained until 1883. He received his
education in the public schools of
Humboldt, and when Il years old he
Ventured out for himself. His first po-
sition was with the waterworks de-
partment of the Santa Fe road, his
territory extending from Kansas City
to Chicago. In 1889 he came to Salt
Lake to fiji the position of transit man
for the Oregon Short Line railroad.
Excepting at snort intervals he re-
manned with the Short Line until 1891,
when he became assistant city en-
gineer of Salt Lake. In 1901 he was
appointed to the office of city engineer
and was given official charge of that
department. With the exception of a
few months. in 1894 and 1905. he has
continued TO hold this important posi-
ton.
The work that his department has
accomplished speaks for itself better
than il can besput into type. Mr.. KEEL
sey has devoted night and day to the
study of municipal engineering prob
lens and kindred subjects He is a
man of marked character and is a hale
fellow, well met, to his friends. Mr.
Kelsey has made scores of friends the
past year by his persistent determina-
ton to do what was right, regardless
of where the results fell.
Mr. Kelsey's work speaks for itself.
He has been the working head of every
big engineering project preached here
for years and understands, as few
other men do, the future of Salt Lake
Salt Lake has prOfted much by his un-
RENTING work and genius.

dentally place the tea kettle on the
stove with the spout toward the back
is a sign of company.
Burning Coal.-If a coal of fire falls

throughout the year until trouble be-
gan to break out in various places in
the state. Then came the shrinkage,
and this was felt in every line. but
especially in the necessaries of life.
Local merchants have taken hold of
the problem offered in Nevada with
commendable spirit. Since the opening
of the Salt Lake route by Senator w.
A. Clark and his associates the Salt
Lake City merchants have been work
ing Systematically and intelligently to
secure and hold the business thus
opened UP in Nevada. They have been
right Oh the ground with their sam
pie cases every time new branch of
the railroad system has been opened
up, and the reward of their enterprise
has been a splendid volume of bust
ness. None of this business has been
secured. either, without a struggle.
Las Angeles, with the advantage of
ocean freight, has been fighting for
every foot of the ground, and the fact
that Salt Lake City has held her full
share of the business speaks we'll for
the enterprise of her merchants
Common Point" a Factor.
The common point is another OBJ
stacle that local merchants have had
TO meeL in the past year. For instance.
freight have designated many small
places throughout the west as common
points and have made the same freight
rates TO these common points as they
did to such distributing centers as
Salt Lake City. For instance. Poca-
telo is designated a common point,
and the local freight rates are so COM
paratively low from PocateliO TO other
points all around that city that it be-
came impossible to compete by distrib-
uting from Salt Lake City and charg
ing the local freight rate from this city
to the point of delivery. To overcome
this handicap local merchants have
been forced to establish branch houses
in all such places as Pocatello, have
their freight delivered there in carload
lots anG distribute from these points.
On the whole, the local merchants
are well pleased with the record of the
year, and they look forward with con-
fideuce to the year just about to open.
Their eyes are open to the Importance
of new railroads. They count upon the
Western Pacific to increase their bus
mess materially 10 the west, and they
take note of every new branch and
feeder thrown out by the lines already
established.

Salt Lake City carried two big han
deans throughout 1907 in the matter
of iobbing and wholesaling, and yet in
spite of these a splendid advance was
made in this important field. The first
and heaviest handicap was the diff
Guilty in getting freight through from
eastern points. This embargo ran
through the year. 1t was so bad at
times that local jobbers were badly
discouraged, and it was only by special
efforts and persistent work that they
succeeded in taking care of their Gus
toners. This freight blockade did
much to reduce the total of the job
hing and wholesaIing business of the
year.
Another important factor, of course.
was the general slump in business
throughout the country. Fortunately
this did not come till late in the year.
till the closing days Of October and by
that time most of the jobbing had been
done for the year AS it is the bust
ness of the year shows an increase of
practically 10 per cent over the I'M
usually heavy business of 1906. In
some of the heavier lines the increase
was as high as u and even Is per cent.
The volume OF the jObbing and
wholesaling in groceries is swellcd ma
terially by the handling of the sugar
output of the state. The dealing in
automobiles made its influence felt in
the total of farm machinery and wa
CONS The high prices demanded for
lumber and building material adds ma
terially 10 the volume of the business
done in those lines, viewed from the
standpoint of dollars and cents.
Clark Road a Great Factor.
The. chief new factor, however. in
adding TO the volume of business done
by the local merchants in wholesale
and 1obbing lines was the opening Of
now territory in Nevada by the Clark
road. II is true that this was a
powerful factor in the year before, but
The sale OF mining machinery. hard
ware, groceries, dry goods and meats,
especially in the new camps of Neva-
Ia, accounts for much of the increase
of The business of the year. The Ne
ada business held up remarkably well

American Sunday School Union.

The work of the American Sunday
School Union in Utah has steadily pro-
crossed since its inception about
twelve years ago. During the past
three years two missionaries have de-
voted all their time TO the work in this
state. Five of the schools organized
during this time have become affiliated
with three different denominations.
Four permanent homes, or chapels,
have been secured, and one is under
construction. There are at present
nine Sunday schools and five home de-
partments in operation. Bibles and
Testaments distributed the past year,
POS: Testaments and hymns. 214; the
gospel according to st. John, l25;
books and Sunday school literature,
SS5.44. These schools have met in tents,
boxcars, private houses. club house
and in the humble buildings and cha
pels secured for the purpose. The
work is supported by good men and
women in every state. An increased
number in this city and state have
contributed to the work this year.
Hearty thanks are hereby rendered in
behalf of the children benefited to all
who have aided the work.
Throughout the United States the
American Sunday School union organ
lied during the year ending Feb. 2S
1907. .S78 schools in places destitute
of religious institutions; 794 schools
were reorganized, so 2,602 schools were
set in operation. containing 102, O34
members. AS the outcome OF union
schools, seventy-six churches of diff
ferent denominations were organized;
and there were 1884 conversions
Since the society began its work
eighty-three years ago, its rhissiona-
ries have organized an average OF
nearly four schools a day for each day
of those years. The great need of the
work is emphasized by the fact that
there are 10000 900 in the United States
not in any Sunday school.
The headquarters of the American
Sunday School Union are at 1915 Chest
nut street, Philadelphia, Pa. Morris K

Good Year for Sheep.
Sheep did splendidly in Utah the past
year. Last winter was most favorable
for them: the Landing season in the
spring was favorable in all ways: the
wool clip was heavy, and prices for
both wool and mutton were high The
high prices for mutton and sheen on
the hoof has had = tendency to reduce
the number of sheep in the state. 1t is
thought that the numter has been re-
duced fully % per cent in the state.
Even with this reduction it is esti-
mated that there are between 2.5OO. 900
and 100000 sheep in Utah. The feel
ing among sheepmen is decidedly Cd
timistic. The seasons continue favor
able; there is no disease among the
sheep; prices continue to be high. max
ing ii decidedly profitable to raise both
wool and mutton, and even the rules as
to forest reserves will prove a benefit
in time by dividing the sheep into
smaller herds.
Better Grades of Horses.
Lovers of horses are greatly encour-
aged by the steady improvement being
made in the breeds of horses in the
state. The exhibition made at the last
fair was the best ever seen i'm Utah.
The Improvement is due to the impor-
tltiOn IF fine blooded horses and the
determination on the part of farmers
to root out the bad stock and substitute
better animals. Il is estimated that in
the last year 0r two $50 draft horses
have been imported into Utah and Ida
no at a cost running from 1,500 to
$4,000 per animal. This policy is max
ing itself felt in a much better breed
of horses in the state.
