The unexpected delay In choosing the
plans for the Commercial clubs new
home has precipitated general dis
cussion of home Industry, and It has
Become SO general now that from every
part OF the state severe criticism would |
follow the choosing of the design of an |
eastern architect. Afterwards the club |
efforts for home grown enterurize
would sound like the words of the ora
tor who lands home made shoes, while
wearing Boston patent feathers, and |
praises home packed fruits, while his
pantrles are stocked with the New
York products, The states interest has
centered In q peculiar way on the new
Commercial club home. and somehow
people have made UP their minds that
this is the point where the fashion
of sending to Indiana for stone is to be
broken, and the point whore the impor- !,
tation of architectural skill is also to |
be abandoned as not worth while In the |
face of opportunities provided at home. |
"A sermon IN stone on western talent |
and western material which shall speak |
its tones loud to all the mountain !

Commercial club home to become.
And while Salt Lake is growing up. |

the main chance. Lets All Get To- |

that this state movement, In its entire-
