In the contest for control of the miu-
ing machinery market in the desert
gold properties to the west there
comes word from Idaho that Omaha
merchants are headed that way, deter
mined on AN excursion of conquest.
Idaho has always been Salt Lake
territory, SO far as its trade relation
ship is concerned and Sunduy night
there win go from the Oregon Short
Line depot whatever OF strength ia
heart and numbers salt Lake can send
out To get acquainted for six days
I'm Idaho, and look UP the trade sttua-
ton.
Up till today Il looked as if this eN-

can sun be such only provided q large

cease to cheer the movement, while
they plan to stay at home,
DRUMMING UP RECRUITS.
President Charles a. Quigley of the
Commercial club headed a committee
of the board of governors this morning,
and "A careful canvass of the citYs mer~
chants, bankers, and professional men
was made, the store-to-store and office
to-oiice method being employed to stir
out complete showing on who We're
| actually planning to go, The number
! OF men who were fun OF fair Words and
/ l.. laa4yQ
| good excuse why they themselves
should not take a few days off to pull
| an oar for salt Lake, was something
! appalling, according to Mi Quigley'
| version Of u.
| II these salt Lake merchants and
! bankers are so completely satisfied with
| the business They are dong, DECLARED
Mr. Quieley this afternoon, that they
have lost all interest in the town. and
| the general welfare and everything
outside OF their office desks, then
| guess 1t is about time we closed un
| the Commercial club, and went into q
/ blessed state Of innoCuouS destitute
| that knows no awakening. 1 have talk
| ed 10 merchants and jobbers who di-
| reCtly profit by every movement 70
| bring Idaho and Salt Lake together
| and they Try 10 figure that unless this
| is just such a trip as they would send
! their drummers out on, to bring back
| more money IN direct orders than the
trip itself cost In cents and hlat dol
| lars, then they can't gee its value. That
! isn't the figuring that made Seattle
! grow, and let Los Angeles grab away
