to Offer them. For "a time the head
quarters OF the IN. Il NJ" as it soon be-
came known, WAS located in small

here an exhibit OF "homo manufAc-

maintained. The needs, however, of

they might spend an hour or such a

ALL UNDER ONE ROOF.
At this time the Utah State Fair
association was occupying somewhat
cramped quarters at No. Is east South
Temple street, a location not we'll suit
cd to the needs of an institution of
that kind, and the board OF directors
felt the necessity of securing better and
more commodious quarters. The ever
alert James G. Mcdonald president of
the state fair board, saw at once the
advantages to be derived from getting
the various public bodies under one
roof, and through his personal effort in
taking up the matter with the Real
Estate association and the Manufac-
turcrs & Merchants association. tho
rooms at present occupied by the joint
associations, at 5G-5S west Third South
street, and known as the Chamber of
Commerce, were secured. and together
the thrcc associations moved into their
new home, Aug. ], 1906.
Later the state board OF horticulture
established its headquarters therein,
and at tho present time the horticul-
tural display is one OF the finest fea-
lures of the exhibit. For the purpose
of bringing visitors TO the city, into
closer touch with the institution. the

STORY or THE ExHIBI1.

The story OF the present chamber Of
commerce exhibit dates from the fall
OF 1904. At this time the Salt Lake
Real Estate association, comprising
some of the leading men engaged in
that particular line of business. in this
city, realizing the many benefits to be
derived to the community from hav-
Ing an attractive exhibit OF the mar
vellous resources Of the state, easily
accessible to visitors, secured the lease
of the building at Is West Second
South street. comprising some $500 feet
of floor space, established the Office of
their secretary therein, and by dint Of
hard, persistent effort were successful
in assembling q very crcditable show
ing of the states natural resources.
For two years the exhibit was kept
open to the public, through the earnest
efforts of the Real Estate association.
IN the meantime the spirit of orsaniza-
tlon had been growing upon other bust
nessmen of the state and in the fall of
1905, there was organized the Manu-
facturers &c Merchants association Of
Utah. The object Of this latter or
Ganizaton. as set forth in its articles Of
incorporation, was to encourage patron
age OF the local factories and stores to
promote the developent Of the re-
sources of the state; to combat the per-
nicious habit, SO detrimental to every
interest, of buying through the malls;
and to encourage capitalists and home
seekers to investigate what Utah had

A WOMAN'S IDEAL FOURTH.
How an Anti-noise Crusader Would
Celebrate the Day.

Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, in the Century.
1 sincerely believe that our national
birthday can be observed with heartfelt
patriotic rejoicing and yet without the
slightest danger TO life or limb. without
any nerve-racking noise or display Of
hoodlumism, and without any OF the ex-
travagant outlay which has characterized
our former celebrations. Flags can float,
national music he played and sung in
places now given over solely to the deaf
ening din Of cannon frecrackers. TIE Dec
laration Of Independence be read at all
Of our public buildings. where inspiring
addresses may also be made. and street
displays. such as professions with floats,
beautiful as well as instructive. furnish
delightful object lessons Of the greatest
events In our history. Then, at night.
we may have Nominations both private
and municipal, and displays OF fireworks
In open places, where the exhibitions can
be conducted by experienced men. thus
avoiding all danger OF the shocking acci-
dents which now sadden our celebration.
Let US, on this day. forget the noise Of
battle and the passions Of international
strife, and remember only the wonderful
spirit OI SACRIFICE, ana palrlOuSn, ana
brotherhood which animated our Revoiu-
tionary heroes. Let us, who know what
the day means, endeavor 10 mako Il both

do not by opening the hearts Of the chill
dren, Of the poor and ignorant, Of the
distressed and disheartened alien within
our gates, to at least partial significance
of what we honor In our glorious festival.
Let US enter personally into the work,
giving tender endeavor, as well as means,
to the task OF making the occasion the
happiest OF all the year to the ignorant
and the wretched. Let US give them a
day of liberty in the country or in the
parks. where they will see our beautiful
flag floating everywhere about them. and
where their unframed ears Will become
accustomed TO the ringing rhythm of our
national melodies. Let us give them me-
mentOes Of the Fourth such as flags and
pictures Of our heroes and Of those whom
we love as well as honor. There let them
listen to the story Of the birth of our re-

odds were against him, at once gave bat

were lying on the decks Of the two boats.

1t is a singular fact that, though Al

came President not as a direct result OF
any fighting or scheming on his part, but
because OF the mercenary role that
Caamano elected to play in the Chino

Japan very much wanted to buy OF
Chile the cruiser Esmeralda. Chile was
willing to sell TO any nation not engaged
IN war. Charles r. Flint OF New York,
long recognized as an adept In dealing
with South American nations. took the
matter in hand, and soon after the Es-
meralda left Valparaiso flying the flag
