Merchants

The Mahuka site proposition was
taken up by the Board of Directors
of the Merchants Association at its
meeting yesterday afternoon and was
discussed quite extensively. As a re-
suit 1t was decided that a committee,
which was selected, should prepare "a
memorial opposing the change OF the

same beforwarded to Washington.
The committee comprised George W.

mittee was given a certain subject
en- which to prepare his basis for OPP
position to the proposed exchange. As
soon as the memorial is drawn. 1t
will be sent to Delegate Kalanianaole
for presentation to Congress. A copy
of the memorial will also be sent to
Geo. B. Mcclellan, as the representa-
tive of the commercial bodies here,
with instructions to use his utmost
effort to oppose the proposed ex-
change.
The committee in the meantime
will send postal cards to the business
people, both Occidental and Oriental,
whose names appear in the telephone
directory, requesting them to express
their views for or against the pro-

tiers U to W; and Cation handles the

The matter of securing an expe-
rienced industrial agent for the pur-
pose of assisting the local farmers In
disposing of their products was also
discussed, but as the Association de-
cided 1t was not financially able to
render assistance in the matter. ac-
ton was deferred until the next
meeting. The proposition was brought
to the attention of the Merchants
Association by the Promotion Com
mittee. The salary contemplated for

CONCERNING LITERATURE.

For the past few years, there has
been a growing tendency in the east
ern portion of the country to make a
fad of western life and character in
literature. The magazines are never
without their full quota of fiction
founded on western subjects, and
some of the most successful plays
during the past few seasons have
their plots laid in the mountain
states.
This is giving the far west a certain
kind of advertising, but the question
will not down in the minds of western
people, as to whether that class OF
publicity is doing this portion of the
country any particular good, and the
opinion is, among many, that it is do
ing downright harm when the class of
stuff palmed off upon the eastern pub
lie, and the western public as well.
for that matter, is taken into consid-
cation.
No person at all acquainted with
the west-the new west-can fail to
see the terrible caricature of western
life or the woeful ignorance of man.
rers and society displayed in the vast
majority of the stuff purporting to
have for its aim the picturing Of west
ern life and western ideals. 1t is
known fact that many of the writers
who produce these monstrocities, have
scarcely been west of the Mississippi
river, and those who have done so,
made their visits so long ago. that
they are writing of west that has
passed away 10 these many years, if
the characters they draw ever had
their prototypes here.
There is way of accounting for
this so-called western, craze" or
"fad" in literature The terrible

industrially and socially, with It's con-
sequent, the tredmill of toll and wor-
ry, calls for something outside of the
life that they know, added to which
is the craving for excitement which
the whirlwind of modern life engend-
crs. 1t is fact that literary style
or literary subject can only sur
vivc as long as there is a demand for
it, though it is fact the writers in
measure create the demand in the be-
ginning. Aside then from the crav
ing for something outside of the life
they lead and know, the eastern por-
ton of our people are turning to the
west Its development fascinates them
1t is yearly drawing from them their
more adventurous spirits, its posi-
biities and its breezy freedom, its
breath and its achievements are
forced upon them, and though it is
but distorted view they get, it is
fad which will not down.
This leads to another phase of the
subject. Though we speak the same
language and venerate the same flag,
there is enough difference in the
ideals and life of the west to that OF
the east, 70 fill all the desires for
novelty and remoteness, were the
west, the new west, pictured as /
really is. The people of the noun
tains have ever been free. Life here
cannot be crowded into the narrow
limits, which is at the present time
pressing out the freedom of thought
and act in the lowlands. The great
stretches of mountains and plain
gives gives a breeziness of character
and a breadth of view The lmitless
opportunities engenders a confidence,
self reliance, which at once distin
guishes him from others less favorably
environed All this is true, but it is
also true that he has kept abreast of
the times and has caught the refine
ment of the twentieth century. Hi
teracy is less frequent and education

the older states.
What more natural then than that
the west is developing a literature of
its own, literature as distinct as
possible from that of the east, with
its reflex of old world ideals. In
word the pure American literature,
breathing the very essence of Amer
lean feeling, and American ideals, un-
trammeled by standards, which how
ever correct in themselves, are echoes
of life, from which the new world
is drifting.
Heretofore the west in its hurry and
rush of conquering the wilderness
and developing its wonderful re-
sources, and the keen competition in
the printing line which it has met it has
been placed at disadvantage That
time has passed and the great east
ern centers will momopolize but
little time longer the avenues of con-
temporary literature, which is en-

Chapman. who will have charge OF
the newtrack at Saltair, are evident
ly not figuring on getting into any
war that will cause any financial loss,
and while there will, of course, be a
certain rivalry between the two
tracks, it will not be Of the kind that
will hurt the game, but will be all
the better for the public, as race
nights will be more frequent than in
the past, while we are promised just
as good riders and as fast and excit-
ing races as in the past The track
at Saltair should be an added induce
ment for visit to that great pleas
IRE resort, and would prove a paying
proposition. The Salt Palace track
has the advantage of being close to
the heart of the city, and it is not
thought that the new track will de-
tract any from the usual attendance.
Both John Dubei and Dad Gimlin
are simply itching to get into the
the game again, and it is probable
that during the coming season will
provide fairly good teams to repre-
sent Salt Lake and Ogden, to battle
for the gate receipts. John has, it is
announced, leased the Lagoon diam
ond, and hopes to give Gimlin's men,
or any other aggregation that wishes
to take a chance with his men, run
for their money Gimlin as usual,
is mum as an oyster, but it's safe
bet that he will round up a bunch
of old-timers that will keep John
awake nights figuring how he can
beat out in the race for glory and
the dollars contributed by the base
ball hungry populace of the two
towns.
The baseball fever has begun to
attack the fans and there is much
speculation as to the kind of ball we
are to have here in Salt Lake this
season. From present indications it
would seem that we are to have
brush league ball. although many are
in hopes that some deal can be fixed
up whereby Salt Lake will get into
league composed of Colorado towns
and Ogden, or break into the Pacific
Northwest league But this seems
to the writer all an idle dream. The
transportation problem would ex-
clude all hopes of making either ven
ture paying proposition, and no
"angel" has yet volunteered to hold
the sack in order that we may have
a first class article of ball.
The members of he Salt Lake
Cricket club are already making plans
for g big game with the Denver
crickc. lrs, which will be played in
this city some time in July. Last
year the Denverites put it all over
the boys good and plenty but it will
be a different story this time if we
