b0rS at The Hague.

GOOD WILL COME.

operation. recalled the fact that he had
many times performed the function of
arbitrator. and assured her majesty
that, in spite of his present abnormal
position, the pope would continue to
seek the advancement of civilization.
Baron de Staal delivered the farewell
address, thanking the representatives
of foreign states. He said the work ac-
complished, while not so complete as
might be desired, was sincere, wise and
practical. The great principles of the
sovereignty of individual states and in
ternational solidarity, apparently so
opposing, had been reconciled by what
they had accomplished. He affirmed
that in time to come. institutions which
had their origin in the need of concord
would be the dominating influence, and
that thus the work of the conference
was truly meritorious.
Conference Declared Closed.
Minister Esteurnelles and DR.. Beau
fort followed the latter saving that if
the conference had not realized Uto-
plan dreams, nevertheless 1t had dis
approved pessimistic forebodings, and
the moral effect would more and more
influence public opinion and aid govern
ments to solve questions of the limita-
lions of ornaments which still remain
source of grave consideration for
statesmen of all countries.
Baron de Staal then declared the con-
ference closed.

WILD RAILROAD TALK
Air Filled With Vague and Indefi-
mite Rum0rs.
BIG PROJECTS PENDING
GREAT RAILROAD YEAR FOR
THIS REGION.
Enormous Traffic Enjoyed By All the
Roads-Thirty Thousand Eastern
Tourists Now In the Mountains
Bank Clearings Continue Heavy
Money For Investment.

The one striking feature in business
during the week was the persistent talk
of new railroad enterprises. This talk
was vague and based on no known
facts. but yet it took a strong hold
upon the imagination. Every engineer
ing party heard of anywhere in the
intermountain country was magnified
into a transcontinental railroad with
Salt Lake for one of it's objective points.
One day it was the Southern Pacific,
another the Burlington. and still an
other a new corporation altogether
Back of it all is feeling that some big
undertaking is pending.
a railroad man of this city informs
The Herald that this promises to be the
greatest railroad year on record for the
intermountain region. This applies to
passenger traffic as we'll as freight. A
fair estimate places the number of
eastern people now travelling in the
west at 10000. and this is giving the
country a thorough advertising that
will result in development.
Big Bank Clearings.
The bank clearings, while not so SEN
satiOnal as last week, are still showing
a strong increase, it being very excep-
tional for any day to drop below the

week of last year. The clearings yes

with 1923, 1882 for the corresponding
day of last year.
Large sums of money are reported as
still coming in from the east for invest
ment in good mining properties. and
the deposits in the banks of the city
are still on the increase. Local money
is offered as low as 512 per cent on real
estate security. and it does not have to
be inside business property, as here

were returned to this city from San

building will be made ten or twelve
feet wider than originally planned,
