There are now on the shores of Great Salt lake nine salt plants that are idle, having been forced out of business by the trust. It Is asserted thnt the majority of these will he revived, now that the rival of the trust hns so firmly established itself, nnd thnt the production and exportation of lake salt will become ns great nn Industry as It was In Utah nine years ago and before the trust got its cluthrhes on It. Joseph F. Smith Is president of the Utah branch of the salt trust. - ued: The work should begin at the primaries and every Democrat should vote. It remains with the rank and file of the Democratic party to say ' what the partys course shall be. No one will for a moment doubt the course which will be adopted by the rank and file If they avail themselves of the duty to register their preference at the primaries. But a systematic effort will be Impressed with the Importance of participating in their partys councils. The enemies of good government, the beneficiaries of class legislation, act as one man with unlimited means at their disposal. The people have only their votes, and they must cast them together or suffer defeat. Democratic who believe their pnrty should be a party of the people have It in their power through systematic organization to so shape their party's policies and govern Its environment for the. 1908 convention thnt It will command the support of all men who have grown weary pf the exnetions made by special Interests." ' Mr. Bryan, In conclusion, quoted his announcement of several weeks ago for the organization of the party, saying the plan does not rest upon the paramount Importance of any one Issue, but It recognises the right of the Democratic voters to control the policy of the party and to determine Its position upon public questions. WALL PAPER. sr The Utah company la also constructing a number of sections of the canal and has an extra outfit on the ground, so that work upon the Branch will begin at once. Men and teams will be sent soon from Ogden to push the , work on the railroad contracts. T. A. Angel, the architect who has prepared the plans for Julian H. Youngs new Glenwood park saucer track, is In the city today surveying the site for the track, and states that work on the track and enclosure will be started as soon as the grading has been completed, which will be about Wednesday. It has bee;i definitely decided that the track will he built on the ground which has In previous years been used as an artificial pond, and Is situated Immediately southwest of the buffet. The track, which is to he oblong in shnpe, will be constructed in a direction from northwest to southeast and will be completed by the first of May. trust. LINCOLN. Neb., April 3. "It Is A getting together of the aggressive elements of the party In active preliminary work for the great bMttle of 1908," la the way W. J. itryun explained his recent activity in connection with the reorganization of the Democratic party. Mr. Bryuu returned yesterday from Des Moines, and It was with particular reference to the meeting held there Saturday night, at which he made the piincIpHl address, that he spoke. Mr. Bryan explained that the lies Moines meeting, like the one held at Topeka, Kim, late in FYbruary, was to further a movement for the reorganization of lViuoiTuiic clulm, and thereby place the machinery of the party In the hands of those who meant It well. In Iowa, he said, the same plan hud been adopted a in Kansas, with both of which he was In hearty sympathy. Reorganization," continued Mr. Bryan, 'is hardly the proper way to express it, because the party does not need reorganisation. There is no factional division calling for separate efforts, but the movement la to get back to the people, to put the radical and aggressive element In more complete control, that there may be a united, harmonious effort for the campaign of 1966. The purpose is to begin at the liotiom, letting the rank and file have a voice in the national convention by writing the platform at home for the national convention to raltfy." Mr. Bryan said he was not trying to head a faction or to change the organisation other than he wanted the progressive men of the psrty to take the leadThe conservatives, he said, had dominated the last national convention and the party had met with defeat. He believed the rank and file of the voters were for progression and radicalism if need be.

Gardner Invites all of his many friends to come to the Armory and view his training stunts. Yesterday he took a drive up the canyon, his former training quarters. He is so much Impressed with the latter place that he will in all probability decide to remain there during the summer to train in anticipation of another fight with Marvin Hart, whom he has already defeated, but who has now challenged Jeffries. Southern 8H0RT LINE NEXT pleted within a limited time. The cut-owill leave the Union Pacific track near the Varney residence on Thirtieth str-e- t, and will join the Short Line track at Farmington. This short cut is being built to avoid the heavy grade between Ogden ana Farmington, which always necessitates the double heading of engine when there is a heavy train, and to shorten the distance into Ogden by several miles, a well a to do away with the Y" it the local depot. Tin double heading of freight trains lias become an important item with the road, a it is the source of considerable expenditure of money and time. When the new piece of road is put into service Short Line freight train will leave the yards, from the north, over the Southern Pacific track nnd then they will be enabled to leave the city in a southerly direction over the Union Pacific track and a level stretch to the main line at The Salt Like Tribune says: Some mi. figures in regard to the salt i rust in Utah hate been released and these show thut where Utah exported HO.ihiO tons of lake suit prior to the organization of the trust, tho export! are now, or up until the revival of the Great Western Malt and Soda company, reduced to 36.000, a decline in the volume of business of 40 per cent. This decline 1 due to lmt one cause; the organization of the trust, by which prices were advanced and which looked so much like a cinch that those promoting it evidently lost their heads. Prior to the perfecting of the church (rust, by which the price of salt was advanced to $9 per ton in the crude, there were markets in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming nnd Colorado for the Utah product, both lit the crude and in the refined products. Since the trust secured control practically all of these markets have been lost. The price to the consumers is such that the Lake Superior salt producers, even with a high freight rate, have lieen able tJ annex Montana and shut nut the Utah salt, and Kansas mineral salt i even now shipped into Utah. Of course, the earnings of the trust on 36,000 tons of salt per year are greater at the prices which the concern has been able to establish than the earnings nn the former output of 60,000 tons per annum, for the reason that the price was advanced to $8 per ton, something more than three times the prevailing price prior to the organisation of the trust. While this condition I probubly eminently satisfactory to the trast, it has reduced the number of persons engaged In the salt industry 40 per cent The competition that is now offered by the Great Western Salt and Soda company, which hns acquired the holdings and plant at Round Mountain, out In the lake, la surely eating into the trust.
