AREA or THE TnR,1ronrEs.


Few of us adequately appreciate
the enormous amount of land in the
United States represented by the
three territories destined for early
statehood. Only the figures can give
one an idea of what it means. Ac-
cording to the latest statistics Of
the general land Office, the areas in
square miles are as follows:
Arizona .......................... 1850
New Mexico 122,6s7
oklahoma ''''''..................,... Ss,05s
275.m5
To realize fully what this means
ono has to remember that New
York, our great Empire State, has
53,719 square miles, so that the
three territories make in land sur
face more than five New Yorks.
In fact, New Mexico is larger than
all New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware and Maryland
combined.
In addition, we have the Indian
Territory, with its 31,15l square
miles, which is as big as all of South
Carolina and about four times the
size of New Jersey.
Inhabiting all the territories are
nearly 100000 people, an increase
of 100 per cent in ten years.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

seventy-seven employees will return TO

work.
In an interview last evening with oCe
of the official representatives OF the
men. it was learned that at the joint
conference referred to, the representa-
tives of the manufacturing potters ac-
cepted the provision of the uniform
scale for the printing department, to-
gether with those regarding all other
departments of the business, ana Oh
course a mutual agreement between
the representatives of both sides fol-
lowed, and subcommittee of the man
ufacturers, and potters were appolntea
to complete the required figures be-
tween May 1st and June LIST, to take
effect after June 18th. 1t was stated
that according to this agreement The
uniform scale list for the printing &C.
partment became effective in every
other plant exceptiong the one in ques-
ton, hence the cause of the difference
between the local firm and the men
which eventually led to the strike. AS
is generally known, the list for all the
other departments of the Western Mali
ufacturing Potters business went into
effect early in May, according to 'ae
conference agreement.
1t was Wednesday of last week when
the strike was declared on, effectins
seven men directly and seventy girls
indirectly, and the news of the termlh-
alton of the difficulties under circrn-
stances agreeable to both sides will be
received by the public with genu ne
satisfaction

THE NEW OPERA HOUSE.
One-HaIf Mile of Paper Used in De-
tails.

The new Board of Trade Opera House
is progressing. as rapidly as possible.
The foundations are about one-third
completed. This work is but an evil
dence of the ultimate result, and many
persons who do not understand the
many problems that confront an archi-
tect in the construction OF building OF
this magnitude, cannot fully appreciate
their labors.
The designing of the details-that is,
the ornamentation and decorative feat
ures. both mechanical and artistic
aside from the constructive plan, is one
of the most important features in a
building of this kind.
1t perhaps will surprise the public,
when they know that Architects Fran
zheim & Faris. with Mr.. Faris' assist
ant, Mr.. John O'Connell, have been en-
gagged for more than month on the
details so far. and will continue to
work upon same until it is fully com
pleted.
The important details are completed.
and are now il the hands of the con-
tractors-an eastern firm that supplies
special designs in ornamental terra
Gotta and work OF similar class.
The magnitude of this work may be
understood when it has required more
than half OF mile of paper Archi-
tects from aload, considering the
amount of money expended, who have
noted the plans. pronounce that this
! will be one of the handsomest struc-
/ lures Of it's kind in the United States.

eoNDHoLoeRs CLING TO BONDS
Refuse to Accept the Redemption Of
fer Made by Gage.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE
present financial operations or the
treasury disclose a degree of wealth
and public confidence in the United
States that has never before been
reached in this or any other country.
Persons holding the bonds of this gov
ernment prefer to keep them rather
than accept the price offered by Secre-
tary Gage. who desires to redeem as
many as possible with the cash sur
plus in the treasury for the benefit of

Secretary Cages offer Is based up
on the average market pIice establish
ed by the ordinary operations in the
market, and he assumes that this val
uation Is fair and equitable both to the
government and the holder Evident
ly he expected that, with the growing
ughtness of money, the ability to real
ize on large amounts OF bonds would
induce holders to sell; but, although
money continues close, the bondhold-
ers seem to take the treasury propo-
sltion as an upset price, which they
can accept in case they cannot get n
better one in the local market ITn-
der the infiuenc of prospective buying
by the treasury prices have been ad-
vanced beyond Mr. Cages figures. He
IS indisposed to follow this upward
movement and will be contented to
lock up the excess OF receipts in the
vaults of the treasury until the short
bonds mature in ly04-7-S, when he

The greater part of the bonds are
now held by savings banks, trust and
insurance companies ald other per
manent investors. although the rates
OF interest now paid are lower than

ties of any government or corporation.
