AMUSES THE GERMANS.
Report of Their Forming Kingdom
In China.

Washington, April 16.-Oficial German
circles here are not a little amused at the
latest Chinese news. which ascribes to
Emperor William the intention to make
his brother Henry German king on Chi
nese soil.
The statement is characterized as
wild and baseless invention and the same,
it is annonced on the highest authority
lished by the Paris Soir and cabled TO
some American newspapers. quoting the
first secretary of the German embassy in
Paris as saying that the Americans must
take the responsibility for all that has
happened in Samoa. and that they, intox-
icated by their victories over the Span
iards. consider themselves a military ma
tinn of the first rink.

WANT TO BREAK DEADLOCK.
Effort to Elect Senator In Pennsyl-
Vanta

Harrisburg. Pa, April 16.-The legisla-
ture will adjourn sine die at noon on
Thursday next. and the present outlook
indicates that a United States senator
will not be elected.
The announced decision of Mr.. Quay to
remain in the field will. it is believed re-
tain to him the votes of most. if not all
of his followers to the end. The chances
of any other candidate receiving sufficient
votes to elect is thus rendered extremely
doubtful. particularly as there is no sign
of a break in the ranks of the Democrats
who have steadfastly voted as a unit for
their party candidate.
Three separate conferences of Repub-
lican legislators have been called for to-
morrow night. 1t is said an earnest en-
deavor will be made by some of the legis-
broken.

the pent-up wrath of the storm god and
got decidedly the worst of the mix-up.
He went further. He tore up trees
by their roots and created electrical
disturbances that the wiseacres are
still racking their heads over.
ELECTRICAL RAZZLE-DAZZLE.
In the last count against him,
remarkable story rests. At about
O'Clock, when the wind was at its
height, all the electrical clocks in the
city were found to be at variance with
the city and county buildings time
piece, and no two of them pointed to
the same hour. The big man who
prides himself on carrying the right
time strOde into the Western Union and
took pleasure in informing the operator
that his clock was fast. The insinua-
ton was Indignantly resented and quite
an argument ensued. Finally, the
operator asked Ogden the time. The
answer came back over the wire '2:1S.
The hands in the local Office pointed to
2:34 Investigation revealed that the
clock next door said 2:45 and one
further down the street was 2:10. All
are on the same electrical circuit and
governed by Western Union time from
Washington, hourly. The only eX-
PLANTATION offered is that atmospheric
disturbances will cause electrical dis
turbances''-and if anybody can derive
any satisfaction from that, it is given
gratis.
WEATHER MAN PUZZLED.
L. II. Murdoch, the local weather
man. was UP a row of stumps. The
day, he says, was the most remarkable
in his experience. To begin with, the
atmospheric pressure had been normal
up to 1880 a. M, at which time it be-
gan to fall rapidly, reaching its lowest
point at 2:10 p. m. From then on, it
went up. the recording barometer
showing a sudden jump Of S0-100 of an
inch in a half hour.
With the fall of the atmospheric
pressure there was a corresponding fall
in temperature. the difference between
10 a. m. and 210 p. m. being 2S de-
grees.
The wind blew at it's highest velocity
fifty miles per hour, at the time of
the lowest pressure and temperature-
in itself a remarkable fact. The veloc-
ity is the secondt highest ever recorded
in the Salt Lake office, the highest be-
ing April is. 1874. when sixty miles an
hour was marked UP. A strange CO.
incidence is that the highest wind yes

and within forty-eight hours of the

twenty-five years ago.

OUTPUT OF CEMENT
WAS WORTH S250,OOO
Salt Lake Supplies the Mountain
States With This Product.

The Portland cement industry of
Utah, though already of considerable
magnitude is only in its infancy. Some
few years ago the discovery was made
that the shale which, in places in Par
ley's canyon is so plentiful, by being
roasted and ground formed a cement
that was identical with the famed Port
land cement A number of years ago
George Y. Wallace. Elias Morris and
others formed a company and at con-
siderable cost installed a plant for the
purpose of manufacturing Portland
cement in this city. This company
worked with varying success for some
time, when the plant and deposits of
shale in Parley's canyon owned by the
company, were purchased by the pres
ent Utah Portland Cement company.
Work was at once begun and has been
prosecuted ever since with unvarving
success. In 1898 the company had the
misfortune to lose it's works by fire.
The erection of new buildings and the
placing of a new and improved plant

going on with redoubled vigor-
The Utah Portland Cement company
is one of the largest single industries

giving employment to about fifty
hands, with monthly pay roll of $1,000.

900. The plant is working to its full
capacity and is weeks behind with its
orders.
A Second Plant
At the present time there is every
probability of second plant being
erected to work the remembering
shale of Parley's canyon. During the
months of October and November of
last year the repre- sentative of the great
cement firm of Balfor & Guthrie was
making tests of the shale deposit fur

by the Utah company An expert ce-

people. While in all parts of the coun-
try banks long established were going
down in the panic of '93-4-5 and 6, the
banks of Salt Lake stood firm as the
rock of Gibraltar. The reputation won
then by home financierS for conserva
tism and careful business methods has
grown stronger with each .year that
has passed since, until now Salt Lake
is considered the natural financial cen
ter and clearing house for all this vast
intermountain region.
Salt Lakes Banks.
The banks in the clearing house as
ISOLATION of Salt Lake are the Bank
of Commerce. the Commercial Nation
al, the Deseret National, Mccormick 6,
Co., the National Bank of the Repub-
lie, the State Bank of Utah, the Utah
Commercial & Savings, the Utah Ma
tonal, Walker Bros and Wells, Fargo
& Co. In addition to these. there are
doing general banking business the
Deseret Savings, t. r. Jones & Co, B.
II. Shelter, the Utah Title. Insurance
& Trust company and the lions Saw
ingS Bank & Trust company This
makes fifteen banking institutions in
all, furnishing unexcelled banking IA
cilities
BY their last reports, made early in
December, these banks are all shown
business; ready to make a still better
record in the year to come than the en-
Vlable one made in the year lust closed.
In midsummer the Salt Lake clear
ing house altered it's rules to provide
for the closing of the banks at 12
o'clock every Saturday in the year.
This rule is now in full force and ia
greatly appreciated by the 200 en-
ployees.
Local Commercial Stocks.
Another most encouraging index to
all who wish well to the city is the
growing tendency of men of means to
invest in good dividend paying local
stocks This tendency was never so
strongly manifested as during the year
Just closed. Many men who have won
fortunes from Utah'S mines and herds.
in addition to buying good homes and
business blocks in Salt Lake, have pur-
chased large blocks of stock in Salt
Lake institutions as investments, there
Dy demonstrating their faith in the
city's future This demand, taken to-
gether with the prosperity of the in
situations themselves, has caused A.
radical advance in the price of the
stocks. The advance was general along
the whole line. 1t ranged from 10 per
cent on some up to so per cent on
others The average advance in all the
tSlloDAC iOSdi StOChS may De placed at
fully 20 per cent for the year just
closed.
Nor is this all. The strong demand
for these stocks and bonds has re-
suited in bringing many of them
back from the east. SO that it is safe
to say that there are more Salt Lake
stocks now held by Salt Lake people
and by more different people than ever
before in the city'S history. The proof
that the advance in these stocks is sub
stantial is found in the fact that the
prices did not decline a point during
the recent Wall street furry, but that
the stocks were in as strong demand
then as before.

Salt Lake, judged by her bank clear

activity in trade that must be crafty

Millions on Deposit
Another proof that Salt Lake is fast
becoming a financial center of import
ance is the fact that there is now on
deposit in the local banks $17 0O0 600,
compared with s12,OOO,OOO a year ago.
Here is a gain of 5,000, 900, or ~ per
cent in one year. To the $1,000. 600 on
deposit may be added fully 1000 900 in
the safety deposit vaults and $4,000, 900,
the capitalization of the banks, and a
total of 500, 100000 is obtained aa the
medium of exchange at hand for the
transaction of the business of the city
Another evidence of the prosperity
of the people is found in the bank
loans. They are now $500, 900, against
SS,20O,000 year ago. Here is an in
crease of but S1.600.000, compared with
an increase in deposits of $4,000. 600. 1t
is well known, too. that during the
year many loans held on real estate
by eastern loan companies were paid
off in part or wholly; that in many
cases local money was got to accom-
plish this, and that this fact swells

Q. 7S2 per cent

It is said that there is enough of the
cement rock in Parley's canyon to keep
the two factories working for over 100
years without to any extent diminishing
the supply.
There is an ever increasing demand
for cement. During the past year
there have been over 5000, 600 barrels of
the various cements used in the United
States. of which only 100000 barrels
were made at home, leaving 1000, 600
barrels to be imported from Germany,
Britain and Norway and Sweden,
which, outside of the United States, are
the chief producers.
All of the cement made in Utah has
been used in the vicinity None of it
has vet been shipped east Of Colorado.
Outside of Utah the greatest deposits
of cement shale are to be found in the
Lehigh valley of Pennsylvania and in
certain parts of New Jersey.
There are other large deposits of this
quality of shale in Utah, the nearest
to Salt Lake being in Emigration can

Balfor-Guthrie's agent, in connection
with Messrs. Arnold G.. Giauque and

shale land in the canyon, together with
