Buzzo's Run. From this point, keeping
the highlands, the road runs to
William Kimbalrs ranch, thence

The grade of the Utah Eastern is in
such a condition that ties and rails
can be laid at once and the work of

From Kimbalrs to Salt Lake the task
will be somewhat slower, inasmuch as
tunnels will need to be driven at the

distance of 2,150 feet in all.
The grades east of KimbalFs are

toward northern Italy. with an ever-in-
Icreasing momentum Heyd says: The1
Levantine commerce took a flight dur
ing the crusades, of which it wouldf
have been impossible for the boldest
ina gination to dream. shortly before"
Lombardy and Venice were the seats
of the greatest activity. There the
spices, silks, carpets. drugs, gems, por-
celains, and works of art of the East
were exchanged for the wood, iron. and
slaves of central Europe. and the WOOL
ems of Flanders and of France. But
such a commerce required a plentiful
and elastic currency, for which the
metal was lacking. and it was under
this pressure of necessity that the mod
ern system of credit was born.
/ Since there were no mines to be dis
covered in Palestine, the only resource
jof the merchants was to increase The
/ efficiency of the money they had and
so they were gradually led into the Slse
iof bills of exchange. But bills pf en-
change are of little avail without "a
clearing house at which they can be
balanced, and accordingly clearing
commercial paper became the great
function of medieval banking.
Before the end of the twelfth century
Venice and Florence had become great
imoneyed centres, but the two most ia
Imous banks were at Venice and Genoa.
The Bank of Venice is said to have
been founded in I'LL, though little is
known of its early operations; that of
Genoa was established in 1907. When
developed, the system in use every
where was simple and effective.

Officers Are Old Salt Lake Men
B. G. Raybould's Trip to England.

Readers of this paper will remember
that some months ago it gave complete
details of the possibility of the con-
struction of a railroad from Salt Lake
city to Coalville.
The visit of B. G. Raybould to En-
land for the purpose of raising the
necessary funds was recited at length
and his efforts in Great Britain's cap
ital fully set forth.
The cheering news has come that the
road will be built and that the old and
well known Utah & Wyoming line will
as soon as the work can be completed
blow its whistles and ring its bells upon
arrival and departure from some point
in the southern part of town TO be
decided upon.

morning of Sept. 49, but the Chinese
ships had reached safe shelter. We
accordingly returned to the rendezvous
at the island of Hal Yam Tan, when
the movement of the Chinese from the
gulf of Pen Chi LIE could be carefully

and Akiga were in the thickest cf the
fight and engaged the most powerful
vessels of the Chinese fleet. They re-
ceived the greatest damage. The trans
formed cruiser Sakaio also received
considerable damage. The Matsushima
was especially bounded. One of her
four and half ton guns was dismonn-
ted by a shot. which smashed the car
riage of the gun. and the latter swung
heavily against the ship, causing great
damage.

news from the seat of war is extreme
ly scarce. Fictitious reports from China
have become so numerous that little
attention is paid to any military or ma
val news protesting to come from that
quarter. The Japanese, on the other
hand, are so reticent that no indica-
tons as to what is in progress can be
gained from them. 1t is, however, fair
~ established that no forward move
ment will be made in Corea until after
the arrival of General Count Yamagata
at the front. The period of inactivity
may cease at any time after September

Moreover, it has been decided that nc
descent shall be made upon the Chi

formation.
A few days before receiving advices
OF his death, the state department
heard. through another consular repre-
tentative, that when yellow fever
broke out, Pollock was urged by his
friends to seek a place Of safety, but
he declared st was his duty as a man
to do all he could to stem the ravages
of the dread disease and alleviate the
sufferings Of those attacked.
He was a leader in the brave bands
that risked their lives for their fellow
men, but he was finally stricken down.
The state department regarded him
as one Of the most capable men in the
service and regrets his loss.

LEyANTINE COMMERCE..

From the Fortnightly Review.]
In the eleventh century the valley OF
the Danube was reopened, through the
conversion of the Huns, and pilgrimages
to the Holy land began BY degrees the
pilgrims came to march in armies. In
1899 the Crusaders stormed Jerusalem,
and in the early years of the twelfth
century the Latin kingdom grew up
along the coast of Palestine and Syria.
The effect was tremendous. The Franks
were thus brought into direct contact
with the great markets of the east,
with Aleppo Damascus, Bagdad, and
Cairo. The Arabian civilizatio was

Probably Fatal Accident to Young

Ogden, Utah, Sept 22-GSpeciall-A

make a thorough exploration of Taylor
canyon, which lies south of the city, for
the body of Tom Driscoll, a boy u years
of age, son of f. NJ. Driscoll, assistant
train dispatcher of the Southern Pacific

Information to hand is to the effect
that the lad, together with a younger
companion. left home early this morning
for ramble in the mountains. Driscoli
missed his footing and fell into gulch.
Seeing Driscoll disappear, his companion
shouted down the gulch, but receiving no
reply became frightened and fed. Upon
returning to his home he told what had
occurred and a search party was organ
