Working Committees to be Appointed in the Different Cities and Towns Throughout the Territory, ' Tho importance of early action in re-gard to Utah's place at the World's Fail? is apparent as the best privileges will be awarded to those states that iirst satisfy the commissioners that tbey will be able to make an attractive exhibit. To bring the matter before the people of this city Mayor Scott will shortly call a public meeting where the matter can be thoroughly discussed and any themes for new and novel features ad-vanced. Three thousand dollars have already been appropriated by the legislature to meet the expenses of three commis-sioners to take charge of the Utah ex-hibit, and Governor Thomas will, no doubt, make the appointment in a fow days. The following letter to Commissioner Lnnnan points out clearly the plan of action as suggested by the World's fair commission: Dear Sih In view of tho fact that the majority of the legislatures of this country meet In biennial session this winter, tho question of a proper repre-sentation of the various states and ter-ritories at the World's Columbian expo-sition should be considered at the earliest moment practicable. The sub-ject of the exposition should be dis-cussed during tho coming session of the legislatures, and the extent of tho extfibits will bo foreshadowed by the amount appropriated for that purpose. The desire of every American citizen that the exposition will be perfect in the minutest details, will make it apparent that one of the chief objects to be obtained by mem-bers of the World's Columbian commis-sio- n should be the furtherance of a spirit of liberality In considering the proposition for the creation of an expo-- . gition fund in the various states and territories and in the District of Colum-bia. " ' ' ' To this end a line of action is herein suggested, which, if followed by the members of the commission, will facili-tate the accomplishment of the desired purpose. A popular movement should be inaugurated, having for its objects: 1. To raise by public subscription an adequate fund to defray the expenses of these exhibits. , - ' 3. To urge upon the legislature tho ! - necessity of liberal action in the matter of appropriations. 8. To secure exhibits representative In every respect of the individual com-- ' monwealtU. ; California and Texas have already taken the initiative in this matter. The legislature of Iowa, at its last session, set aside the sum of $50,000 for prelimi-nary expenses and will make a much larger appropriation when the legisla-ture convenes a year hence. Owing to the varied conditions ob-taining in individual states and terri-tories, u detailed plan of action that would be universally practicable is hardly possible. The general outlines of the following plan, to which your at-tention is directed, may serve as the basis of an organization. It is sug-gested: 1 That you secure the attention of leading citizens in your chief commer-cial city or capital and impress upon them the necessity" of immediate and prompt action towards securing proper representation at the, World's Colum-bian exposition. 2 That you arrange for a public meeting of citizens, summoned by the mayor or the highest executive officer of the locality, for the purpose of dis-cussing and arranging for a state con-vention of citizens likely to be prac-- . tically interested in the exposition. 8 That the call for such convention be issued in the names of as large a representative body of citizens as pos-sible and at the earliest moment prac-ticable. The issuance of this call being one of tho cardinal points upon which success will hinge, it should be made as comprehensive as possible. Every citi-zen and every organization should be represented at the convention. 4 That, upon the assembling of the convention, tho governor, or other high state official, should formally inaugu-rate the proceedings and that the work of the convention should thereafter be as devoid of cumbrous formality as pos-sible. 5 That the machinery of the perma-nent organisation should make simplic-ity its aim. A few energetic, clear-headed business men, alive to the im-portance of prompt action, can accom-plish far more than a dozen nnwteldy committees, where the divided respon-sibility invites Indifference 6 Having pdrfected your permanent organization, that the matter of raising the fund commensurate with the mag-- " nitude of your proposed exhibit be the first subject considered. Of this sum, the legislature should be called upon to appropriate its share and a plan formu-lated at. a convention for raising the remainder by public subscription. 7. That arrangements be made for permanent representatives of the cen-tral organization in every city and township. Such representatives should possess local iniluence and should be able, by personal solicitation, to further - the objects of your organization, both in the matter of raising subscriptions and in suesesting and securing exhibits.

POLYGAMY IS A "DEAD DUCK And George H. Tousey Writes the Chicago Tribune that He Accepts the Mani-festo Beading Notes. The spirit of change and progress is again visible on tho streets. The electric street ear motors that have been jarring the nerves of this community with their humming noises, are to be muffled with grease. This is perhaps the nearest practical test of "greased" lightning that has ever been made. Yesterday the Rapid Transit peoplo received one of tho Westenhouse noise-los- s motor cars, and this morning Su-perintendent Uphan proceeded to tho power station, accompanied with many of the oflicers of the old company, to see it work. The Westenhouse patent overcomes tho noise made by enclosing the gear-lu-g lu a reservoir filled with oil. Tha cars have been tried on electric lines in the eastern cities and found to work entirely satisfactory. If the test made today proves what is represented for it, the Rapid Transit people, as well as the Salt Lake company, will introduce them on their lines. The rapid transit is rapidly pushing work on its lines, and today a force of men were digging up tho macadam on Second South street for a new track. They will mako this thoir starting poiut for the presout, the cars standing in front of the Wasatch building. Toney on Polygamy and "Boom," George H. Tousey, an of tho Chicago stock exchange, who used to give "tips" to "Old Hutch" (friendly tips, and used to pay for them), is one of the hustling real estate men who are moving the earth tr make Salt Lake a bigger plnce than Chicago. Tho only ad-vantage Tousey concedes the "Windy City" oyer the "City of Salt" is the World's Fair, and in this matter he pro-poses that Utah shall show up more nat-ural resources at the world's aggrega-tion thin all tho states bordering on the three sides of Lake Michigan. Mr. Tousey writes the Chicago Tri-bune as follows: Silt Lake City's "boom." If "boom" It may be called, was not brourbf. about Ijv ''polltl-clsn-etc.," but was the natural consequence of natural causes, fce.il fry ad-vanced In value because ol a healthy demand bv bona tide investors, who, to show tbejr In tie outcome, are building hhusea, tnslness blcoxs, munutaotoiies, etc. Llvln-I- s no ti her than In the east, except In one particular, that of rents, which aishlfh, ow-ing to tha scarcity of houses.

It Is true that Irrigation is necessary for suc-cessful farming, but water Ik abundant and not expensive. Life and property are as safe In Utah as In Illinois or anr other part of tha country, and have been lor yeurs. Farmers ralsi larger crops and get as good rrlces as In any part of the counlry. Tbore are three or four months tn the year that no ruin falls, but the sun In not so hot as It Is farther east, and the nlg!its are always cool on soconnt of th high altitude, and nclthtr vegetation nor stock sutlers so much In couaciuence. Join the Chamber of Commerce. This is the proper time when those who have the interests of Salt Lake at heart and are not members of tha chamber of commerce should join at once and thereby signify their good will towards the city. The chamber of commerce building, ns it now is being completed, is a lasting monument to those who devoted their time and en-ergy and brains and money to assist in building up this city. It can safely be asserted without a particle of egotism that but for that organization the people of Salt Lake wpuld still have continued in their Rip Van Winkle sleep which for forty years allowed other cities with not one half the natural resources at their command to outstrip and out-grow it. Let the honor and glory go where it belongs and let the good work of the chamber of commerce continue from year to year until this city has as-sumed its position as one of the greatest inland centers of this continent. The Luaihrr Situation. A very impbrtant meeting will be held this evening at tho chamber of commerce to take further steps in re-gard to supplying Salt Lake with the necessary lumber to carry on the vari-ous building enterprises. While the railroad compRny will do whatever it can to ship lumber from Oregon it is evident that a good deal of pressure will have to be brought to bear to sup-ply the demand. The city can at ono consume 5,000,000 feet of Jumoer which means exactly 500 cars. As these are scarce just now the transportation bureau cannot urge the matter any too much for the best' interests of Salt Lake. Street Care to Fort Douglas. Messrs. Colborn dV Skinner, the enter-prising agents of Popperton place, have been working all summer to secure the electric street car company to extend its line to Fort Douglas, via l'opperton place. That they have been successful is evidenced by a contract let yesterday to Messrs. Sullivan & McDonald to grade First street, upon which the car line will pass. The contract is for the removal of 150.000 yards of earth, and thirty teams will be placed on the work tomorrow. Real Estate Note.

At present the controversy between the Victoria Mining Co. and William Haws et al is occupying most of Judge Anderson's attention. It promises to protract itself to a monotonous end anil to consume the remainder of the week at least. The plaintiff asks possession of the territory in dispute, which It is alleged was unlawfully arrested from them, together with damages in tho sum of $','3,U0U. Charlie Saviors, who has pretty thoroughly surveyed Tiutlc from centre to circumference, says there are over 1500 men on tho roster at the various mines and prospects. This number ex-ceeds that of any camp in Colorado, with Leadvillo excepted. There, how-ever, tho statistician who nuido his re-port for tho IUireau of Mining Statistics, included the men employed at tho smelters and concentrating mills. Tho second annual meeting of tho stockholders of the Niagara Mining Co. was held yesterday at the Walker house, neatly all the stock bfclng represented. After some preliminaries the following oflicers were elected for tho ensuing year: P. A. H. Franklin, Ogden, presi-dent and general manager; (Jflorao 11. Dickerman, Boston, J. A. Falen, Philadelphia, treasurer; C. Howard, Sohemmcrhoru, Philadel-phia, secretary. Tho report of the treasurer shows that de-velopments have been prosecuted on a very energetic scale, the cost of ex-ploration since April last being about 1400,000. A large number of surface improvements having been made, and as the company property embraces over fifty elslius It promises to be one of the most lntluentis.1 in the west. Assays were returned on samples from the Greely mine at Alta yester-day that shewed 9D8 otiuoes silver to 6S per cant lead and gold to the value of about $30. The disclosure was made several days ngo, but its real signifi-cance was not brought to light until the past fow hours. Arrangements are being made to fur-nish the Bangor mine nt i'intio with a tramway that will lead from the month of the workings to the railroad track. This will enable the' owners to handle tho product of the property on a very economical scale. The Crescent has effected an arrange-ment with the Alliance Mining company whereby the lower levels of the former will be drained and their ore bodies drained. The Nepni Ensign reports the discov-ery of a vein near thero a sample from which assayed 13,000 ounces silver per ton. The owners decline to enter into particulars until the. .permanency of the strike is inquired into. The receipt from the various mines as shown by the register at smelter and sampling works continue large and In-dicate almost unprecedented "activity In the various camps. The railways re-port that shipments to foreign smelters and samplers for the year will exceod all past records.

VISSCHER THE VERSATILE. In HU Time He Has Been Actor, Jour-nalist, Poet and Humorist. A source of pleasure to the traveler In the new northwestern states is unexpected meetings with familiar faces. Men known in other years and distant places are en-countered in almost every town. Recently at Fairhaven, Wash., I found a friend whose name is familiar in many eastern cities Will L. Visscher. He is a native of Kentucky, and learned his trade as a jour-nalist with George D. Prentiss, once the celebrated editor of The Louisville Jour-nal.. When the Courier and Journal were con-solidated Visscher was city editor of the latter. His next essny tn journalism was made on the old Mississippi river steam-boat Richmond, plyinjc to New Orleans from Ohio river points, and his floating paper wus called The Richmond Headlight. Eighteen mouths later he took service on The Indianapolis Journal. Subsequently he was employed as editorial writer and paragrapher on various papers, including The Kansas City Journal, St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, Omaha Herald, Denver News, San Francisco Post and Call and Cheyenne Sun. For six months ho edited Ponieroy's Democrat at Denver. Ho then published a humorous sheet called Hello, and a G. A. R. magazine. Later he did work on Chi-cago papers, anl in 1883 revisited the coast and was employed at Portland on The In 1889 he took charge of The Daily Globe at Tacoma. Ho is at present editor and part owner of The Daily Herald nt Fairhaven, Wash., and is making a suo- - cess 01 uls vent-ure. Th j paper is not six months old yet, and his office was built on virgin forest soil, where stumps of giant trees were so thick that a wagon could scarcely get be-tween thera to de-liver his presses. Set in this fron-tier city, not a year old, he pub-lishes a sheet of metropolitan pre- - WILL L. VIS9IHER. tensions. Visscher was a private in a Ken-tucky regiment of volunteers during the war. He takes an active interest in the G. A. R., and was a delegate to the late Boston encampment. He has published two volumes of poems and negro dialect Stories. After his first appearance in Cali-fornia journalism he went on the road aa comedian in a dramatic company, and won success. But the stage had not the same charms for him that he found in journal-Ism- ., The. recent Washington Press con-vention elected Visscher president. Home-ly, happy hearted, and loyal to bis friends, he is the life of any party where be hap-pens to be. A capital story teller and a pertinent after dinner speaker, he is the central figure on such occasion as the an-nual meetings of the State Press associa-tion. He has a daughter, whose achievements in painting; and music indi-cate a high order of talent. W. G. Benton. a No Place foe the CameL Those purveyors to the summer resort of America who contemplate making cam-els an attraction of the ocean beach next year will doubtless be interested in the news that the town council of Brighton, England, has refused to allow the presence of these animals at that watering place. The camel, it was declared by the authors of the veto upon his advent, may be an an-imal whose peculiarities are full of Interest to the man of science, but it caunot be said that he is suitable for general riding. His temper is uncertain, bis appearance ludi-crous, and his movements unduly remi-niscent of the switchback railway. In deserts camels are indispensable; in cir-cuses and menageries they frequently com-port themselves with a becoming dignity. But if they were brought upon the beech of a fashionable watering place, and made to listen to the banjo of the Ethiopian the braying trumpets of the town band, there is no saying of what ex-cesses t heir emotions might not make them capable. Leads Nebraska Prohibitionists. Dr. B. L. Paine, the Prohibition candi-date for governor of Nebraska, wa born in Ohio in 1851. He graduated from the Ohio Medical col-lege in 18T5, and from Hahnemann college of Phila-delphia in 1877. After a brief prac-tice in his native state he went west and located in Ne-braska. Ho was then a poor man. Twelve years in tbe capital of this state have proven successful years, tjr. b. l. PAIKE. professionally and financially. During the four years of the medical department of the state univnrsitv Dr. Paine was deaa of tbe homeopathic faculty. For several years he was the leader of the Y. M. C. A. forces in Lincoln. He has always been an active church worker. Business associates quote the doctor as being worth from t73,000 to 8100,000, largely invested in real estate. He has lec'.ured in several western states dur-ing the past five years, principally on re- - ligious and moral topic.
