Show I FACTORIES WANTED IN THIS STATE. I here are 800 factories, large and small, in Utah. About 95 per cent of these plantB are in Ogden and Salt Lake. There is a field for as many more factories as the state does not manufacture manu-facture more than a small percentage of the goods consumed. The possibilities of development are thus represented by "The Payroll Builder: "The mountains of almost pure iron ore, with inexhaustible fields of coal and myriad tons of lime rock close to them, presage Immense steel and J iron plants in the near future. Such pluiits would open the way for th eslablit-hment of many a lino of man fracturing industry, not possible un d der present conditions. For Instance a the immense quantities of mining ma chinery now Imported to meet tht 5 demands Of the mining industry ol 5 the state could then be manufactured 1 , , n lure, nnd Utah would soon be known Jj J the world over as a shipppr of such articles. Likewise the manufacture of farm Implements would bp mnl possible here. "The building of a cereal food plant 1 now under consideration in Ogden, the first of Its kind In the intermoun 1 tain country, will keep where it prop r erh belongs hundreds of thousands 1 ol ' nllars now being sent away for such products. "Kite? can be grown in Utah ol splendid quality, either on irrigated ' Lands f on lands not artificially wa- 1 tered. Flax raised by irrigation is " first class for fiber and the dry land rfutpul prodmes the finest kind of ; seed. A plant for the m iking of oil and oil cake would bo a paying proposition propo-sition from the ?tart. as would the making of linens, linoleums, etc. "Utah has no paper mill The money mon-ey .ent out of this stite every year fcr p.;per would capitalise B big hank FJ in,, reds of tons of waste paper arc carried to the crematory every wee:-that wee:-that could be used in the making of i new stock. Other raw materials for ; paper making are here in abundance "A tlass factory ll one of the cry-j ling needs of Utah, and prospects arc , ! bright for the establishment of such n plant in (be very near future.

"Although furnishing hundreds of thousands of hides and pelts annual ly, Utah has no tanneries. There is i no reason why one or morp big tanneries tan-neries should not flourish here. "Millions o( tons of marble, white, black, birdseye. and ariegated, of aj quality unsurpassed anywhere, await the capital that could easily make Utah quarries famous the world over' The Standard persistently has advocated ad-vocated a campaign of factory building build-ing in Ogden.
