THE SMOKE INVESTIGATION.

We are glad to see that the CONNER
cial Club has taken up in earnest the
investiga tion Of the smoke nuisance.
The evil OF that nuisance, the bad name
that it gives to this city. the destruc.
tion of property involved in 1t, all COM
bine to bring the abatement of this
nuisance prominently before the public
as perhaps the most important step to
redeem Salt Lake 6 good name for pure
air and cleanliness, and make it at
tractive to visitors and residents.
II is a fact that tourists, travellers,
and home-seekers are commenting upon
the pail of smoke which hangs over
this city as an objection to settling
here, both because of the undoubted
unhealthfulness of that smoke pail, and
of the destruction to property which it
involves, and because Of this, but pri-
marily in order to make good sanitary
conditions for those Of us already here
and TO clear the atmosphere from de
leterious substances, we commend un-
reservedly the action of the Board of
Governors of the Commercial Club in
determining on thorough investiga'
tion Of the causes Of this smoke pail,
and the possible means for its abate'
ment.
We have suggested heretofore the
cooperation OF the State, the county,
and the city. All these are necessary,
and VIC trust that it is not too late in
the legislative session to get from our
lawmaking body the necessary author
ity to make the Investigation thorough,
giving power to compel the attendance
and testimony of witnesses, the pro-
duction of exhibits, and the like, so
that the investigation will be backed
by sufficient authority to get to the
bottom of the whole matter. The city
is primarily both the contributor and
the sufferer, but the county is large
to the cause of that suf-
fering, although the city itself contri-
butes probably the main portion of the
smoke trouble. The county, however,
suffers proportionately with the city,
and whatever is injurious TO this city
and county is injurious to the State
The steps taken by the Governors OF
the Commercial Club should be backed
by State authority, for it is necessary
TO have such backing in order to get the
necessary testimony and make the thor
ough investiga tion that is required. We
trust there will be no delay in push
ing this work, and that the legislative
will be promptly and unre
servedly extended.

doubt. It is a doctrine that has never
prevailed in this country, and it is
impossible that it should prevail with
respect to uou.navigable waters.
We trust that the city of San Fran
cisco and tho State Of California will
proceed as the Chronicle has indicated,
bringing the matter to test before the
Supreme Court of the United States,
In such test We do not suppose there
is any real doubt In the minds of any
one who has investigated the principles
involved, but that the city and State
would win

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week has shown change in
weather TO such an extent as to Justify
the feeling that spring has indeed
come. Everything is correspondingly
bright and cheerful.
The taking up by the Commercial
Club of the smoke nuisance is regarded
as one of the most important business
moves of the time. There is no doubt
of the retarding effect upon the devel-
opment of this city and valley of the
smoke bank that is seen so constantly
over the city.
The assurance brought by State Su-
perintendent Mon Of the good at

The general commercial agencies re-
port spring trade conditions as healthy,
but conservatism in buying, with nm eye
to possible tariff changes.
Railroad earnings during four weeks
in February increased four per cont as

There is a gain in the pig iron pro-

Wool is quiet, with prices rather

Stock market operations are dull

The merchants are beginning their
spring trade with the most optimistic
expectations. Many openings arc
scheduled for this week. The past
week was the best in trade for two
months. Dry goods, department, and
millinery stores have fine spring dis
plays. The hardware and furniture
stores are doing big spring business.
There is heavy demand for spring
goods, money is plentiful to pay for
them, and collections are good.
Many hundreds of homes will doubt
less be built in this city during the
oncominp season. The fair weather has
opened up the home building and realty
activities Large numbers Of home
sites have been bought during the win
ter, the business activity in these is
now brisker than ever before, and in
quiries almost swamp the realty men IS
offices.
Work on the excavation for the CAPT
tol is progressing well. and the contrac-
tors expect to begin during this month
the construction work for the building.
The high school on the east bench is
getting on well, as is also the admins
tration building of the State Univer,
sity.
An enterprise which affords great
hope for the future is that of reclaim
| ing about 100000 acres of alkali aud
swamp lands contiguous TO this city
west of the river. The Legislature has
passed bill providing for drainage dis
tricts, and this is a powerful stimulant
| to the work. Experiments made by the
lGovernment in teaching out alkali lands
have been very promising, and it is now
considered as established that this land
| is probably better adapted to sugar
beets and truck farm vegetables than
any other in the State, when properly
prepared, This project has been laid
before the Commercial Club with view
of getting its endorsement and support.
Several large irrigation projects are
under way in different parts Of the
State, all of which will be beneficial
to the State and to this city.
The defeat Of the bill creating pub
lie utilities commission to graft upon
railroads has given the usual biennial
relief to the railroad interests.
The Salt Lake Route announces a
new train between here and Los An
geles April 9th. A large number Of
railroad officials have visited the city
during the week, and the railroad sea-
SON is opening in excellent form.
A decrease OF slightly less than one
million pounds Of copper during Feb
ruary in the domestic visible supply
was made known Friday by the Ameri.
can Copper Producers Association.
This was much moro favorable than
had been anticipated; but it was re-
suit brought about largely by decreased
copper production, which was practi.
cally double the increase in deliveries
for consumption.
Reports say that considerable
amount of copper has been sold during
the past ten days, much Of it TO be de.
livered during March. The large pro
ducers profess to believe that the pres
ent price Of copper belongs at Is cents
a pound, at which range they have
again established their asking price.

There have been three new districts
opened since the first Of the year, each
showing surface gold and silver ore
that easily started stampedos, and
quickly raised property values far be-
yond the mere prospect stage Not all
the promotions launched from these
new camps can possibly fulfill expecta-

coveries, it is probable that one new
mine at least will be developed in each
district. There appears always to be
plenty of development money waiting
to explore Nevada gold property
when other sections Of the country
seek financial support in vain.

are being made to resume development

to some interesting views ON woman's

had some opportunity TO observe the
effects OF the female vote. He finds
neither perceptihle good nor percept-
ible harm resulting. The vote has
doubled. but tho political effect is
about the same. However. bishop
Thomas does note n peculiar and In
teresting development. When asked
whether women mingle in political
squabbles. he said:
Oh. yes. their differences are tho
real ones. Women take political ac-
