AN APPLICATION BY THE LEHI COMPANY COM-PANY FOR NATIONAL BOUNTY. The Amount of the Claim for the October Production is $3643 An Appeal to People of Utah to Patronize Home Industries.

The territorial territo-rial subsidy which was paid by Auditor Pratt on Saturday, was also for the pctobcr product. pro-duct. Support Home Industries. The chamber ot commerce: has issued the following appeal to the people of Utah, to aid home industries and manufactures in every way possible. "With the completion of the Utah sugar works and a number of other home industries indus-tries fairly inaugurated this teacn, not forgetting for-getting to mention those which for a number num-ber of years have existed in our city and j territory, it is meet and proper to call the at- j tentiou of the people to the fact that whnn-i ever it is possible to purchase an article made in this territory that it should be the pride of every citizen to u; so. "Every dollar retained in this territory is simply a dollar added to the wealth of "the people. As long as that dollar is retained here it ea;i be k. pt in circulation, changing from hands huimnerabie times. It is paid out for labor, from there it passes into the bauds of tlie merchant, and is transferred from the merchant to the manufacturer, and again paid out by Hie manufacturer to the labor employed; and thus it continues u l in-tjiir'v.u in-tjiir'v.u beuciiltiug every body to an almost unijnjiiecl extent. Once, that dollar leaves the borders of our territory, it goes out as a tribute paid to a great extent to foreign industry in-dustry or to foreign cepital. "I appeal in particular to the ladies. While man can earn the niouev, it i - to the greatest extent paid out by the ladies for articles consumed in their homes. "It is said that to a great extent comparisons compari-sons are odious; but while visiting other cities in the ea-t, and particularly in the city of Denver, it was indeed a pleasure to not ice with what pride and satisfaction t lie ladies of l'cuvcr dwelt upon their home industries. In conversation with some of th' rn the statement state-ment as msde in the most fervent and enthusiastic en-thusiastic ninnncr: 'We make it our business busi-ness to call for everything manufactured in I our city, and, in thin state; and if we find that the merchants are not inclined to furn-i.-,h home manufactured goods, we go where we can get them.' "The rid's Columbian fair is rapidly approaching. ap-proaching. I' tun should make as fair a showing then as iis great natural resources and other advantages warrant. "lu a few days ine chamber of commerce will cail u inciting of aii the manufacturers of thiu city and oi L'iah, for the purpose of obtaining from them a complete list of everything manufactured here. Every lady w ill be furnished w ith one of these lists, and it-will rest with them to demonstrate how niueh interest they take in home indu.-trie.-, and how far they will go to help to build up the. industries in their own iniitst, in preference, prefer-ence, to helping those Jiving far away from us, whose intere-t in us probably extend to the extent of the number of dollars they can get oui of us annually, and w ho w ould discard its in the same manner as a squeezed out lemon is cast away, which has ceased to give forth its invigorating juice. "Had it been possible for the people of Nevada twenty-live years ago to have parsed a law compelling those who took the unbounded un-bounded wealth lrom its mountains, to de- vote thrrcfn.'m rine. lentil of the rrriHt nn nually to the establishing of some home industry, it would today be in the same position po-sition in which the people of European mining min-ing countries are in, who. in addition to their mining industries, have other large manufacturing plants supporting the increasing in-creasing population, and thereby drawing the wealth of other nations to tiietn. "The object lesson which this state furnishes fur-nishes to vis should be a study to all who have the interest of this country at heart, and it w as w ith this object in view, that the board of directors of Ihe chamber oi commerce com-merce requested the address of this appeal to the thinking men and women of L'tah.

Culmer company com-pany and that of the Pacific Paving company is only $10S7. The board of public works state as a reason for giving this preference, that the work cf the Paeitic company was better known, it hns been tested for four years in California, and also in this city ou Commercial Commer-cial street where, up to this time, it has given general satisfaction. The award wil'. be referred to the city council at the meeting of that body tomorrow night, and if it is ratified, , the work of grading must commence com-mence within two weeks, and if the w eather remains favorable the contract must be iiu-ished iiu-ished in ninety days.
