The matter of the increasing of the water pressure of the canal system was discussed by Dr. Odene Luke, chairman of the water committee. Figures and estimates of the cost of installing some pumps at the base of the supply were presented by him. The water committee was instructed to investigate the different kinds of pumps and were given power to buy said pumps and have them installed. The matter of a city cleanup campaign was discussed and the week of April 8 to 13 was designated as cleanup week. H. T. Woodward, chairman of the streets and alleys committee, reported that he had made a survey of the streets and recommended that about 100 loads of gravel would be required to properly surface them. The committee was instructed to have the streets surfaced as needed. T. O. Harris was present to get the decision of the council relative to the dance floor in the proposed city park. It was explained to Mr. Harris that quite a considerable number of the citizens were opposed to the granting of the lease and in the interests of good feeling and harmony in the city it would be necessary to withhold the granting of any lease on the park. Mr. Harris stated that if such was the case he would gladly withdraw his request, but stated that he would still be interested in the erection of a tennis court and would try and cooperate with other organizations in order to get same. The council was in sympathy with his suggestion. James D. Hoggan, city treasurer, was present to present his resignation as treasurer, stating that he had accepted a position in Idaho and it would be impossible for him to care for the city office. The council accepted his resignation. No one was appointed in his stead at that time.

Ogden visitors Tuesday. were A deal was completed a few days ago whereby Landes & Co. of Salt Lake City became the owner of the Steed property in the east part of town. We are informed that the building will be remodeled and will be used for a stock room and office of the above company, they having found it necessary in order to give their customers the proper brand of service to get a permanent place of business to serve the territory surrounding this city. For the past few years they have had salesmen in this territory handling the famous caterpillar tractors and Holt combines, their business has now grown to Such proportions, we are informed by them, that they find it necessary to open up an office here. We are glad to see such well established firms as the Landes & Company come into our city and wish for them the success they anticipated when they selected Tremonton as a place in which they could place their confidence and invest their money. R. D. Anderson has been given charge of their office here, having been employed by this company for the past year or so as a road salesman. Mr. Anderson is well and favorably known all over this part of the country and will no doubt, with his genial disposition and natural ability, justify every confidence of his company.

The April Fool idea was carried out. beginning with a hot supper at 8 o clock and followed by games.

Lojr Cabin Minstrels Will Appear April 19 This world would be a mther dreary place in which to live if song and melody wore taken away. The negro race would have been crushed in slavery days had it not been for the music in their hearts thr.t gave them new hope. Thoueh the days were long and the master severe, sweet melodies from euitars and banjos accompanied the voices of the old slaves in the evening as they gathered at the cabin porch. Some of thorn danced, some pat juba or sing, until the day's toil is forpotten and they are hanpy and free from care. The Old Log Cabin Minstrels, coming April 19, will entertain you with some of the best negro melodies and camp meeting spirituals, and, of course, a minstrel could not he complete without a cake-walk. to Address Qub Officers Reelected The regular meeting of the Commercial club was held Wednesday with some 50 members present President Winzeler called the meeting to order, minutes were read and approv ed or the previous meeting, A report from the heads of mittees showed that all were now fully officered and ready for action. The first matter of business to come before the meeting was a propo sition whereby money could be raised to add some poultry exhibit houses on the fair grounds, this being presented by H. T. Woodward, who proposed that instead of spending hundreds of dollars for 4th and 24th of July celebrations, that this money be appro priated for the building of poultry houses for the fair exhibits in poul try and rabbits. After some lengthy discussion a motion was made that a committee be appointed to look after the matter of obtaining the necessary amount to complete the contemplated improvements. The committee named was Dr. Odeen Luke, Jas. Walton, J. H. Fronk, H. T, Woodward and R. S. The annual meeting of the Box Elder County Fair association, held last Friday in the club rooms, was one of the best attended and the most enthusiastic of any meeting held in the life of the association. President A. N. presiding, called the in to order shortly after 8 o'clock ana caiiea upon secretary u. J. Dewey to read the call of the meeting and also the financial report of the past year. The report of the secretary disclosed some interesting data concerning the amount that had been expended in buildings and improvements each year and that in the face of these huge expenditures the report showed the association to be in fine condition. It was shown by the report that in the three years since the organization of this association, $8,776.41 had been ' expended for material for improvements, $3,266.26 for labor, $1,600.00 for premiums and aside from this there has been donated in labor The above arnounts make a grand total of $13,568.87; take from this amount $4,500, the amount received from the county during the three years, and we have the actual amount that has come from the life membership which now totals 91 and the receipts of the gates. Dividing this amount by three and we have approximately $3,022.95 that has been expended in buildings and improvements each year. The Box Elder County Fair has been one of, if not the most successful fairs held in the state in the past three years and it is little wonder that President Fishburn was gratified at the secretary's report showing, in the face of the amount of improvements and the high Diane upon which the fair and rodeo have been conducted, a deficit of only $700. The supervisors of the different were called upon to give their views and suggestions for the improvement of the fair and as a result many valuable suggestions were com-fr""llbu- BUY PROPERTY BUSY MEETING LARGE NUMBER Utah Manufact u r e r s Financial Report Given Send High Officials for Past Year; Old LANDESANDCO. CITY COUNCIL IS ATTENDED BY Calderwood. At this point in the meeting representatives of the Utah Manufactur ers' association arrived according to previous appointment and the balance of the time was turned over to them. J. S. Early, executive secretary of the Utah Manufacturers association, was introduced. He responded by saying he was not the sneaker of the evening, but that he had brought one with him, but before sitting down he would like to say that he was deeply interested in building up of the state and that his association had come to the conclusion this could only be done by building up the payroll of the state. Orson H. Hewlitt. of Hewlitt Bros. Co., was introduced as the speaker of me evening. Mr. Hewlett soon demonstrated that he knew the nroblems confronting our state in the way of manufacturing and merchandising, He opened his remarks by stating the people of our state are now becoming interested in increasing the payroll of the state, and then proceeded to tell how such a thing could be accomplished. If, said he, all of the people in the state would buy home made goods, which are as good, if not better, than outside goods, every manufacturer would double his capacity over night, which would mean labor for every man in the state. And then the speaker gave some of the reasons why people did not buy home made goods. In the early stages of manufacturing in Utah people doubted their ability to compete with the outside manufacturers. Then again outside, manufacturers would come in and tell the jobbers and retailers that their goods were not as good as theirs and they would have trouble with them and cited some examples. He said cane sugar manufacturers came to the candy and jam and preserves manufacturers and told them they could not make candy and jam with beet sugar, which statement has now been proved untrue. The same applied to paper boxes and cartons and many other articles, but all were proven to have no foundation. And now Utah made goods hold the highest places in the market, perhaps, everywhere but in Utah. He told of how big candy manufacturers shipped in great quantities of candy bars, as a result our own candy makers, whose product was even better than that shipped in, were compelled to lay off hundreds of their employes until the people proved to themselves they were not only eating inferior candy, but also throwing all these people out of work and sending the dollar where it would never return. The manufacturers of Utah are big taxpayers and when we send our dollars away from home, whether it be a state or a town, we are putting the balance of trade in their favor and we will soon dry up, he said. Outside manufacturers do not build your roads and schools. You do not get any of the dollar that is sent to Chicago or elsewhere it is gone. Buy at home, build up vour community, and remember "What Utah Makes, Makes Utah" and this applies to every community, was his concluding remark. O. B. Berrien, firist vice president of the Utah Manufacturers' association, spoke briefly, statins that Utah was fast coming to the front. He said fifty per cent of all the radio loud speakers sold in the United States were made in Utah, and told of how the pig iron industry of the state had grown and was still growing. J. F. Whitaker of the Blue Point Cigar Manufacturing Co., and one of the board of directors of the association, said he had just one thought to leave with the merchants here and that was that the man behind the counter if not loyal can turn off the tap of prosperity for home concerns or he could turn them on if he was -- received. - In the election - of officers, A. N. Fishburn, M. H. . Welling and C, J. Dewey were reelected as members of the board of governors and In the executive meeting of the board the same officers were retained as follows: A. N. Fishburn, president; David Holmgren and T. L. Davis, vice presidents, and C. J. Dewey, secretary and treas- urer., In a statement to the meetinc and. in fact, to all residents of Box Elder county, President Fishburn expressed his appreciation for the loyal support and labors of the different committees of the fair and rodeo, the exhibitors and the patrons of the fair in general, and said it was his belief that if this sort of support .and cooperation continued, and it was his belief that it would, there would be no limit to the possibilities of ths organization. - ; Riverside Local to Hold Social and Dance 'The annual Farm Bureau-socia- l and dance of the Riverside local will be held Friday evening, April 5, at 8 o'clock in the L. D. S. hall at Riverside. Each year this local has held a social at which everyone is invited. This year the same rule applies witlw a special invitation to the old residents of the valley. Special arrangements have been made and all who attend are assured a good time. Mrs. Thomas Waldron Returns From Coast Mrs. Thomas Waldron returned last Friday from a two months visit with her son in Long Beach, Calif. Mrs. Waldron reports as having enjoyed her trip very much, her son making it his pleasure to see that the many places of interest were visited by them. We are glad to see Mrs. Waldron back in Tremonton again and looking so well. consequence twelve carloads of mince meat were shipped into the state while our own lay on the shelves unsold. Because of this unfair discrimination it was necessary to pass such a law or force our own manufacturers of this product out of business. After the visitors had done speech making Otto Schenkel was asked by President Winzeler to explain to those present the plan that he had proposed for one of the biggest celebrations ever held in Tremonton. The plan as outlined by Mr. Schenkel called for a two days' celebration in which Utah manufactured goods would be displayed and demonstrated, the details of which will be announced later, the time to be the first week in May.
