Two of Lowe's H.W. articles have a connection with Preston, where Lowe began his journalistic work. "The Deseret News" details the contents of a copy of the Mormon newspaper that had come to his hands through the agency of a Mormon convert, formerly a Preston weaver; "Locked Out" describes the Preston factory workers idled by the managers' lock-out.
