General Orders No8
The various organizations of the Na
tional Guard are authorized to partici
pate as such in the inaugural parade
incident to the Installation of Utahs
first state officials to take place in this
city probably on January 6 1896 Ow
ing to the fact that the troops are not
supplied with overcoats and t9 the
futher fact that the weather on the
occasion may be so inclement or se
vere as to cause the abandonment of
the proposed parade altogether it is
deemed imprudent to order to this city
any organizations from a distance
though this will be authorty for any
such to take part it so desired The
brigadier general command ng will
however give the necessary orders for
the participation of companies A B j I
end D First Infantry troop C First j
cavalry First battery Light artillery
and the signal corps all stationed at
the capital and of company H First

THE INAUGURAL BALL i
Perhaps the most interestingcer
tainly the most elaboratepart of the
ceremonies in observance of the day
will be the ball at the Salt Lake the
atre in the evening For this portion
of the days events the committee on
arrangements has in no wa > confined
itself but has gone about the prepara
tion for it with a lavish hand The
I members have enlarged on their orig I
inal Ideas and by the time the last
detail Is complete fully 1000 will have I
been expended in the effort to make
the ball an event ever to be remem
bered by every person so fortunate as
to gain admission
The decorations contemplated at the
theatre are on a scale of magnificence
that approaches the gorgeous The
interior will be heavily draped with
bunting of the national colors fes I
toned Wit evrgrsens and glittering I
shields emblematic of all the stat s
will adorn the walls But the particu
lar feature of the decorations upon
which the most pains are being be
stowed is a magnificent electrical dis
play the preparations for which prom I
ise something extraordinary The pro
scenicm will form a frame in which
will flash alternately a beautiful ar
ray of pictures formed by an ingenious
arrangement of varicolored electric
lights I
Among the various features contem I
plated for this display is an immense
American flag the stars and bars of I
which will consist of red white and
blue incandescent lights the fortyfifth
star being added and the flag appear
ing as the national emblem must after
admission tIny Another is the great
seal of Utah the bee hive and all
formed of electric lights Then there
will be an immense star and the word
Utah also done In the same manner
Aside from the general decorations
will be a box especially arranged and
artistically decorated for the accom
modation of the governor and his reti
nue
It has been the general impression
that the governor was to receive but
such is not the intention The execu
tive other officials and guests will be
received by a reception committee
Composed of eightyfive people selected
by the committee of arrangements with
the approval of the executive commit
tee from all sections of Utah

tory celebrates New Tears day

for the last time as a territory I
On the 4th of the present month I
the president of the United States will i j
by his proclamation admit Utah to a
place in the Union of states The in
auguration ceremOnies take place in
Salt Lake the capital city on the 6th j
Utah will be received into the Union j
with more satisfaction by the Anieri j I
can people than they have shown upon I
the admission of any of the latter I
states This because its admission
marks the close of the great contest
between the Mormon and the socalled
Gentile elements and ushers in an era
of peace and good will Without dis
cussing the many steps which led to
the dissipation ot local differences and
the uniting of the people of Utah upon
all questions affecting their favorable
growth and development of the ter
ritory it car be stated that there now
exists in that territory no reason
springing from religious teachings why
Utah should be ignored by either capi
I tal or population Its people representative I
tative not only of the Mormon creed I
I but of every other creed known to
I Christendom assimilate socially and in
business and the visitor to tHe terri
tory will be unable to distinguish the
Mormon from the Gentile but wIll be
mpressed with the intelligence and
progressiveness of both Tlie est evi
dence of the complete eradication of
J former differences is lound in the fact
I that with scarcely a protest from any
portion of the nation the proclamation
of statehood is to be issued
SETTLEMENT OF SALT LAKE V AL
LEY
The settlement of the Salt Lake val
ley antedates any outer bettlement of
white men west of the Missouri vver
When Kansas and Nebraska 7ere
I
covered with moving herds of buffalo
when Colorado Wyoming and Idaho
were unexplored wildernesses before
the Argonauts of 4J began their pil
grimage to California a little band of
white men had already carried the
banner of civilization and planted it
upon the shores of that marvel of na
ture the Great Salt lake On the 24th
day of next July fortynine years will
have come and gone since Brigham
Young with 142 oi his followers after
conquering the dangers ot desert
mountain and plain looked down for
the first time from a pass through the
Wasafcli mountains upon the mag
nificent panorama of the Salt LaKe
valley Un that day he founded what
has so long been known as the City or
the Saints the modern Zion With
sturdy courage they commenced the
work of subduing the desert a work
which has continued unabated until
this time and which has resulted in
making the territory of Utah the gar
den spot of < tre west Utah Is depen
dent upon no single resource and there
fore in a business sense mauntains an
equilibrium in strong contrast with
other portions of the country where I
nature has been less lavish with her I
gUts With agriculture gold silver J
lead and coal mines with stock rais
ing and the manufacturing from na
tive raw materials as resources to
draw from there is always a certainty
about her business affairs If one re
source fails others remain to tender
their tribute Agriculture is not ex j I
emplified in Utah upon any great j
areas of level land tout is confined to
Innumerable mountain rimmed valleys
rich in productive soil and supplied I
with the needed moisture from moun
tain streams of melted snow diverted
through thousands of canals and
laterals to the crops of the husband
man
IRRIGATION
Utah Is the cradle of American irri
gation and all other systems in the
United States have been modeled after
that of Utah The system is said not
to be exceeded in perfection by any
other in the world except perhaps that
of Spain Utah contains about 85000
square miles It is divided into sec
tions by the Wasatch range of moun
tains which traverse it from north
east to southwest Its inhabited por
tion is from 3000 to 7000 feet above
the sea
To Brigham Young the pioneer and I
statesman is due the credit for the
agricultural development of the terri
tory He early taught his people to
be selfsustaining His mind origin
ated the great scheme of irrigation
which has reclaimed almost every val
ley in the territory His advice and
counsel encouraged in the people the
I industry and patience perseverance
and courage which has characterized
the people of Utah throughout the his
tory or the territory
Not the least of the annual returns
to the farmer are from his orchard
and vine Very early in the history
of the territory fruit gAwlnKbbecame l
the subject of general intjtes i m the
agriculturist The earliest orchlrcls
and vineyards were starFegTroWstockt
brought over the wear > ii1es oCjlhe
plains and mountains dn ox teams
This industry has been osteredand
encouraged by all the leaders ojthe3
people until almost every kind ofrcuif
naied in the temperate zone is
in Utah The Salt Lake peachbh
been famous in the markets dthe
United States for a quarter of acen
tury
STOCK RAISING I
Stock raising is and has been for
many years an established busi I
ness in the territory Perhaps
more attention has teen devoted
j to the raising of sheep and the produc
tion of wool than to any other form
of the stock industry This is be
cause there are large desert areas in
tihe territory particularly adaptat
to the grazing of sheep The annual
output in wool amounts to about 12
000000 pounds much of which is util
ized by the woolen mills and looms
operating in the territory The visitor
to the agricultural valleys of the ter
ritory will be struck with the high
grade horse and cattle stock upon
every farm much attention having
been given to the production of high
grades these classes jjf stock
FACTORIES
The fact that for many years the
Mormon peoples were distant over a
thousand miles from the nearest set
tled state of the union compelled them
to early depend upon their own efforts
and ingennuity for the manufacture of
needed articles and manufacturing had
an early place in the history of the ter
ritorys growth Today the territory is
supplied with woolen mills paper mills
boot and shoe factories and number
less manufactories of needed articles
The Lehi sugar factory is perhaps the
strongest manufacturing institution in
capital invested and value of output
This institution pays out something like
20000 per annum for beets to the
farmers in the region of its location
and during 1895 produced about 30000
tons of high grade sugar The Provo
and Deseret Woolen mills are notable
I
instances of an important branch of
manufacturing These mills supply a
large portion of the west with their I
product and recently in competition
with the country at large secured by
reason of the merits of their goods the
contract for supplying uniforms to the
California militia On the Rio Virgin
river down in the portion of Utah called
Dixie cotton is raissa and not only
raised but ginned and manufactured
I into cloth upon looms there located
MINES AND MINING
So much for what the farmer stock
raiser and the manufacturer is doing in
Utah What about the miner Tnere
is no country in the world the size of
Utah that has within it such a wid
j t diversity of mineral products Every
thing ot a mineral character that mon
mine and humanity uses is found here
There are lakes of asphalturn equal to
the lakes of Trinidad mines of native
surphur as rich as the mines of Sicily l
beds of ozocerite large enough to com
pete with the worius only other mines
fields of natural gas already sufficient
ly developed to furnish fuel for a thous
and factories and large deposits of all
the other common ana usual minerals
It is strange that Utah is not first
spoken of when mining states are dis
cussed For a quarter of a century
the Horn Silver the Ontario the Mona
the Old Telegraph the Daly and Emma
have been famous Ten mines listed
as dividend payers with the New York
stock exchange have paid in dividends
over 26000000 Perhaps the chief mine I
in the old family is the Ontario This
property has paid 3175000 in divi
dends 1500000 more than any other
straight silver mine in the United
StaLes After all mining has only com
menced in Utah Its great deposits
have barely been introduced to the
sound of hammer drill and blast
Heretofore silver has been the most
sought for metal but its diminished
value due to adverse legislation has
had the effect of turning mens eyes
aaid energies towards the development
of the neglected gold reserves of the
fti rritorrr South Africa gold fields
have their counterpart In Utah in the
Mercur district and the ores of Johan
nesburg are duplicated in character
there Recent rapid advancement in
milling methods has made it possible
to treat ore bodies of great size which
have been known to exist in many
parts of the territory for many years
Just now interest is centered principal
ly upon the Mercur district because
there the cyanide process is working
wonders and the mineral field disclosed
is great enough in area to insure the
development of one of the notable
camps of the country For the past
six months capital has been pouring
into this district in a steady stream
Some of the greatest mining opera
tors in the United States have made
personal visits to the romp and all
unite in predicting its coming great
ness Phil ores in the principal mines
average about 12 are peculiarly sus
ceptible to treatment by the McAr
thurForrest process and the mining
and milling expensste rarejly excsted
250 per ton The leading property the
Mercur mine has paid in dividends
about 300000 during the past year and

I The Salt i aiz chamber of com
merce the chief commercial body of
I Utah has been more instrumental in
the progress and development of the
new state than any other agency It
was organized April 18 1887 and start
ed out with a strong membership in
duced by the indications that the ter
I ritory was about developing into the
i boom neriod which set in at that time
and continued without interruption
until 1891 Like every other organiza
tion with the promotion of business for
its purpose which Salt Lake has ever
had its first days were Jts best ones
Representatives of every branch ofx
business joined the chamber W S
McCornick was elected president and
M J Forhan a brilliant but most
erratic genius then resident here was
elected secretary Immediately the
chamber proceeded to carry out the
purposes of its organization Secre
tary Forhan had a ready pen and his
widely known reputation as a writer
gave him the entree to the leading
journals of the United States These
journals he filled with well written
descriptions of the city and territory
and accounts of Utahs resources
Under this administration the Utah
Palace Exoosition car was sent out
upon its journey It traversed many
portions of the United States and
brought to the notice of 188000 pairs
of eyes object lessons in Utahs pro j
ducts This car attracted great at
tention Its contents were written up
by the leading newspapers of the
United States and it had much to
do with inducing the great
growth of population and the vast
amount of investment which came to
I Utah between 1888 and 1891
Governor West John W Donnellan
Fred Simon W E Hubbard W H
Rowe and James H Bacon have since
I filled the office of president each one
marking his administration with I
movements productive cf public good
I During the administration of Colonel
Donnellan and Fred Simon the cham
I ber moved in the matter of a reduction
I of railroad rates by an appeal to the
interstate commerce commission and
to the activity of these gentlemen
ably aided by Hon S W Sears was
due the horizontal reduction then ob
tained
The office of secretary has been filled
since the incumbency of Mr Forlan by
0 J Hollister Frank Gillespie H V
Meloy Hon S W Sears W J Sny
der and E F Colborn
A review of the work of the cham
ber of commerce snce its existence
will show that it has divided its time
between 2 struggle for existence and
an attempt to promote by every pos
I sible means the good fortunes of the
I city There are many to tell what it
has not done but most of these have
never permitted their names to appear
upon its membership list To tell what
It has done is written in the growth of
this city It has kept a steady
stream of descriptive literature
flowing through the nation It
has compiled statistics relating
to almost every material resource
It has furnished by letter information
to thousands of inquirers It main
tains the greatest exhibit of mineral
resources ever collected from any
region on earth It has entertained
thousands of visitors and has made an
honest effort to maintain the pride
and standing of the community on oc
casions when the city has been visit
ed by bodies of prominent men and
women It has been criticised by the
slothful and applauded by the enter
prising At times it has been engag
ed in a protracted combat with death
but it lived and still lives giving an
illustration that there Is something
after all of vitalizing influence in this
climate of ours From its birth to the
present time a few prominent business
men have given it their loyal and un
interrupted support and to their cour
age and faith may be attributed its
longevity What is has done in the
past year everyone knows who has
taken the trouble to investigate The
present board of directors have been
unceasing in their efforts and Secre
tary Colborn unawed by difficulties
and not discouraged by obstructions
has put his individuality into its
daily business life and has made it do
everything Its financial condition would
permit
These axe the latter days of territor
ial life Already the dawning of state I
hoods first day can be seen in the sky
It is hoped bv the supporters of the i
ohamber of commerce that the new con I
ditions of government will inaugurate i
new and better conditions of business
I
and that the people of Salt Lake al
ways good at the beginning will dem I
onstrate themselves to be stayers Un
the cause of prosperity and not let i
a
the end of territorial existence be the
end of existence of the chamber of
commerce
For tine future there is more for the
chamber to do than was ever presented
and the people of Salt Lake should ral
ly to its support
A strong effort will heartily be made
to increase its membership to a point
sufficient to make its finances equal to
the demands made upon it During
the coming year many conventions
will be held in Salt Lake and unless
there is a strong business organization
to provide for their proper reception
and entertainment the citys pride will
suffer and will be in unfavorable con
trast with other enterprising western
communities

I follows The alien land act will be repealed
pealed by operation of law This act
was passed under the former admin

really intended to prevent the acquisi
I tion by foreigners of large tracts of
I land for use In the grazing of stock
but by its terms it has been construed
i to apply to some extent to all forms

I act has been a barrier t the invest

have been developed by English and
French capital We have been de
t barred from successfully appealing to
I these sources and the capital we have
I obtained outside of Utah for the min
ing side of our business has mostly
come from citizens of the United
States Statehood sweeps this from
our path
Again the charters of many Insur

investment of funds in a territory
For this reason we have no great in
surance buildings and the moneys
heretofore offered in return for mort
I gage securities have come from in
dividuals or the few corporations rot
I prohibited by charter provisions
Statehood will render these provisions
I inoperative as to Utah I Is a well
known fact that the monied men of the
United States have always shown an
indisposition > to invest in a territory
because of what has always seemed to
me a foolish notion that tetra
laws were not favorable to outside cap

MORMON QUESTION SETTLED
FOREVER
The whole United States will accept
the presidents proclamation as final
and conclusive evidence that the Mor
mon question is settled forever The
fear of this question in the past has
kept out b3th population and mon y
from Utah and because of all of thOse
obstructions to progress which I have
mentioned Utah has been neglected
and while the Pacific coast from 1be
British possessions to the Gulf of Cal
ifornia distant 1000 miles farther thin
Utah from the weight of the population
of the United States has become a
populous empire this marvelously Irk
region has been evaded

PROSPERITY FOLLOWS STATE
HOOD
Wherever a state has been admitted
to the Union Its admission has been
followed by a greater or less number
of investors aid settlers who were
attracted to it because of a belief that
statehood is to be followed by pros
perity I only 3 few from each state
came Utah for the reason that the ag
gregate of money invested and Inhanl
tants gained would almost be enough
alone to give us strong activity Wih
statehood we shall throw off the lost
handicap In the race wiN the other
western states and if we will only do
our part as citizens the future will
bring us ample returns
What we lack in Utah and partku
larly in Salt Lake is the benefit of
concerted action and in this respect we
differ from any other western locality
There is virtue in pulling together
We ought 10 make the growth of this
city an important item in < u daily
business We ought to present solid
opDcgililon to every invasion of our
rights and to every circumstance that
will Impede our progress
EXTEND A CORDIAL INVITATION
We ought to extend a cordial invi
tation to the people of the United
States to make homes here and bring
money here and we ought to show y
our own works our confidence in Utah
We have climate unusual natural
attractions wonderful and diversified
resources scenic grandeur As a city
we are nearly 1000 miles from a com
petitor either east or west We have
an agricultural area under perfect con
trol a city not rivaled fo beauty in
the world and all we need is the push
push push which elsewhere in the
country has been potent i building
up great centers of trade and popula
tion I Is time to lay aside envy ha
tred and all uncharitaWeness and to
see fraternity what virtue there i in unity and
The time is auspicious I was nevermore
more so Let us resolve to take ad
vantage of it I we do the state ot
Utah will take second place
wi no send pae among
her sisters In the west
