PLANT FOR ZION
Col. f. A. Wall and Reuben
May Are Back of En-
terprise.
COST in NEIGHB0RH00D
OF FIFTY THOUSAND
Buildings Are to Be Erected
South of the d. & r. Il.
Shops.

That Salt Lake City will soon have
plant for the manufacture of steel
castings of every description, including
machinery for mills and manufactures,

nation given out Tuesday by the pro,
moters of the enterprise, Col. h. y. wall
and Reuben May The cost of the new
plant will be about $4,000.
It will be erected on the ground
owned by the Salt Lake Engineering
works, Just south Of the shops of the
Denver & Rio Graude railroad. 1t Will
be necessary 10 have two buildings for
carving on the work-onc building for
the casting room and the other for the
blast furnaces. Some of the buildings
of the present plant will be used, and
it will consequently bc necessary only
70 erect some new buildings IN order
70 enlarge the existing accommod odatlons.
Although Col. Wall and Mr.. May VIII
be the prime movers IN the project,
other local capitalists will be interested
to a slight extent.
IL was given out that the material
utilized by the new plant will be con
fined to scrap iron and pig iron, with
larger proportion of the former. The
concern will not require tho employment
of any large number of men, although
it Will be necessary 10 obtain the SER
vices OF number OF experts in the
business The machinery used viii be
of the most improved type. and the
plant viii supply all the western states
with the goods produced.
II is clajmcd that the only comptti-
tors to tho concern at the present
time arc plants at Portland. Or. and
Pueblo. The other plants of the country
arc in the east. with the nearest one
at st. Louis. II is proposed to push
work on the new plant. and it is
thought rho concern will he running
within ninety dayS.

Six Hundred and Thirty-Eight
School Boys in Salt Lake
Sell Papers.
PRINCIPALS DIFFER AS
TO EFFECT ON PUPILS
Some Say the Training Is Valu-
able, While Others Say to
Contrary.

Six hundred aud thirty eight of Salt
Lake City's school boys are employed
as newsboys on tho several newspapers
in the city, according to a report com
piled by y. II. Christensen, superinteud-
cnt of the city's public school system,
at the request of the national child Ia
Dor committee. This is almost 10 per
cent of the total male school population
of tho city.
or this number 2s9 are between the
ages of l6 and II years and $40
arc under II. The request also
shows that there are no girls so
employed. In many instances the boys
are so employed only one or two days
III the week.
The figures for boys are high in some
of the schools centrally located. For
instance, there are sixty-iivc boys uu-
der Is and above II and sixty
two under II from tho Fremont,
at l53 South Second West street; !;
forty.6vo under l6 aud thirty
eight under II from tho Grant, at 62j
South First West, and forty nine under
l6 and thirty under Il from the Sum
ner, at 6iS Third East, employed as
newsboys, while the Bonneville school,
in the Superior addition, considerable
distance from the center of the city,
shows no boys so employed.
Effect Of Employment.
To the query as TO the effect the en-.
ploymcnt appears TO have upon the
youths, the principals gave diversified
responses. Some hold that the business
training tho lads thus receive makes
them better students. Others contend
that the effect is beneficial TO pupils of
the lower grades, but that in the case
of more advanced pupils their attention
is drawn away from their studies. The
late hours kept by some of the youths
in dispoSing of their papers make them
sleepy and stupid in their school work
the next day. other principals reported.
The reports arc 10 be used by the Ma
tional Child Labor bureau in compiling
statistics on the child labor question.
The Hamilton showed only two boys un-
der l6 and one under H. the Union six
under II, the Waterloo two under 16
and five under Il. and the Emerson two
under l6 and eight under il so en-
ploycd as "newSies.'

INTERESTING TIME ]
HAD BY AO Club
Advertising as Applied to Mod
ern Department Store, Sub
ject Considered.
MATTER IS DISCUSSED
AT LENGTH BY EXPERTS
AT Conclusion of Debate, Mem
berS Partake of
Luncheon.

Advertising applied TO the require
ments Of the modern department store'
formed the basis Of a long and enthu.'
siagtic discussion at the regular months
" meeting Of the Salt Lake Ad club
at the Commercial club Tuesday even.
ing. a short paper on the subject was
read by Il. w. Everett. advertising
manager of Walker Bros. dry goods
store. Mr., Everett was followed by
Harry j. Halton, advertising manager|
for the Il. &. NJ. /. department store7'
G.. T.. Wood. business manager Of the
Salt Lake Tribune, and John w. Wall
drcn. manager Of the Waldren Distrib-,
uting agency.
Mr.. Everett set forth the different re-
quremcnts of advertising 10 produce'
best results for department store and
said that the time had gone by when
it, was necessary only 10 get customers|
into the store in a great crowd Without
much definite idea OF what they wanted
and who consequently hampered the.
work Of the salcsmcn and the running
of the store. The two great points
about department store advertising. he
said. were timeliness and presentation.
of the merit Of the goods. q
Treatment OF Customers.
He thought that the customers should
and should be given some idea of what
they wanted that they might como
to the store to purchase some definite
thing. The reader of the advertisement|
should be interested in what the store
had for sale, and in order TO be given
this idea it was necessary TO present
the advertisements Ill the most attrac~.
tive manner possible. Mr Everett also
dwclt at some length on the origin of
No. a. ont cEg Il, Gnr "A
between the old and new methods Of
advertising as conducted by advertising
managers of those institutions
Mr.. Halton agreed with Mr.. Everett|
as TO methods Of advertising and ex.
planned that the Il. G. NJ. l. store was
the first department store in the
United States. The store was organized
in 1865, he said, and conducted the diff
fereut departments OF the business IN
separate stores. In 1871, these stores
were all brought together under one
roof and conducted according to mod
crn department store methods, with the
accounts of the different departments
kept separate.
Relative Value.
Mr.. WaIdren spoke of the relative
value of newspaper advertising and.
other methods. \. d. Mcclure of the
j. 7. Gardner clothing store asked about
the effect of newspaper advertising and
the preparation of copy and was am
swered by Mr.. Wood, who explained
some of the difficulties which newspa-
per men had in having the copy pre-
sented by advertisers set i'll the proper
manner. "Iou cannot make your copy
too good for us, he said.
Other members of the club Joined in
the discussion. which lasted until a
late hour. 4 great deal OF routine bns-
mess was transacted. aud n luncheon
was served. Arrangements are being
made for an especially attractive pro-.
there will be musical selections rem.
dered by different members with
sketches and other entertainment.
