Chamber of Commerce Director. The regular monthly meeting of the directors di-rectors of the chamber of commerce was held in the board of trade building last night. As was anticipated in last night's Time?, the transportation question was taken up and exhaustively discussed. Several disclosures were made which, if it were prudent to make them public, would perhaps make a sensation: sensa-tion: but the reporters were requested to keep the matter quiet, as its publication would interfere with arrangements that are cow being made to adjust certain wrongs that afiiict Salt Lake business men. The report of Messrs. Wantland and Allen, the delegates to the Trans-Misisippi congress con-gress at Omaha, was received. Mr. Want-land's Want-land's re pert was on the work of the convention which is already sufficiently suffi-ciently known. Mr. Allen communicated the progress he had made on the matters of the stockyards and the Peep i Creek railroad. AVhile in Denver Mr. Allen talked with a number of railroad contractors who were willing to grade the railroad, taking tak-ing their pay in the bouds of the road, if the citizens of Salt Lake would subscribe the money necessary to keep them in provisions for their men and teams. Mr. Allen was confident that if the chamher of commerce was to take hold of the matter in earnest the road could be built. Six new members were reported to have joined the chamber of commerce in the past two weeks. Tiie last subject to come up for discussion was the desirability of patronizing home institutions, in-stitutions, and Colonel Donnellan was instructed in-structed to draft an appeal to the people of Utah to give their preference to goods manufactured man-ufactured in this territory.
