Plans to Divide Samoa.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Pourparlers
are being exchanged between Great
Britain, Germany and the United
States respecting a division of the Sa-

a division on the basis of Upolu for
herself, Savaii for Great Britain and
Tutuila for the United States. Secre-

matter and has replied in such a way
as not to commit the government to
any policy on this point, but there is

THE SUMMERS OUTING.



q Trip to the Coast.
During these long evenings Of fall
and winter, many a plan will be laid
for the bright warm days of summer,
coming bye and bye, when Nature
again assumes her lighter garments
and decks herself in green of field and
flame of flower, appropriate dressing
for her milder mood.
Plans made in advance are most apt
to be realized and be as fruitful of re-
suits as expectancy painted them. If
/ were to place before the readers Of
this paper an ideal outing for the sum-
mer, l would direct their attention to
the scenic division of the country,
where the eye may be pleased, the
mind broadened by contract with Ma
ture, and where health giving winds
blow away the miasmi from dulling
minds as well as aching bones. A tour
of the West is one of the most cher
ished hopes of the rich traveller and
equally is the more humble, but provi-
dent clerk, or artisan entitled to en-
joy the awakening of the senses

and mountains lying between the Mis-
sissippi River and Western Slope.
Great minds have dwelt upon the ro-
mances of the old trails and wrought
into story and song the incidents of
travel, dangerous and, in the early
days, not free from intense suffering.
Greater minds have spanned the track
less waste with rails of steel and
placed upon them putting leviathams
from the shops, and attached to these
magnificent palace cars and all
the appurtenances of comfort while
travelling. The Overland Route" is
the name adopted by the Union Pacific
sytem which crosses the now fertile,
once arid plains of Kansas and Colo
RADIO, invades the narrowing canons,
deep and forbidding, but wonderfully
attractive, as danger ever Is, passes I'M
der frowning cliffs and around gigan-
tic promotories, bald and reaching to-
ward the skies, not unlike sentinels,
which protect the secret of the mine
until mems necessities make the I'M

is no grander scenery than that which

Denver and the surrounding points,
and in its Westward course, through
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Wash

selves revelation to the uninitiated
and Salt Lake and it's environs afford
study and entertainment and pleasure
for bright minds. The Coast" are
words which have an indefinite mean
ing to those who have never visited
the Western outpost of our prosperity
and advancing civilization, but it
should be seen and known, and now,
while there is time to study about the
country, is the time to lay your plans.
No more enjoyable outing can be than
that found in all the standard guide

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dun Reports Business Expanding
and Mills Active.
WAR HAS HAD NO BAD EFFECT.
Prices Are Still Advancing In Almost
Every Line-Wheat Declines In Price
in Spite of Unfavorable Crop Reports
Tho Failures.

New York, Oct. 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
I'm most lines business continues
to expand, though in some there are
signs that buying has been checked,
either because prices have outrun the
views of buyers, or because recent pur-
chases have been so heavy that nobody
is left in need. Prices are still advanc-
ing in almost every line, supported by
rising prices of materials, and works
everywhere are still crowded to their
utmost capacity, while at many points
it is found hard to get enough compe-
tent hands. But the volume of bust
ness expressed in values rises much
more than prices, showing a remark
able increase in quantities Of goods ex-
changed.
THE outbreak of war in South At
RIGA has brought no such changes as
many feared. In England the markets
have treated it as an event already
overdiscounted, and relations with this
country were not appreciably affected.
Wheat has declined INC in price
in spite of unfavorable crop reports.
Wool has enlisted a powerful specula-
tive interest, and sales Of 1928, 600
pounds for the week at the three CEN
trail markets represent about twice the
consumption. Bessemer sales at $23
for next year and $24.5O for this year
at Pittsburg are reported, with billet
sales at 500 to $40, and sales of sheet
bars at $50 per ton.
Failures for the week have been
145 in the United States, against 22l
last year, and 20 in Canada, against "a
last year."
