Than For Previous Year


Despite the adverse conditions due to
livestock losses and the effects Of the
Carbon county strike, lions Co-Opera-
tive Mercantile Institution did a pros
porous business last year. At the an
nual meeting the following facts were
stated in the annual report of President

THE sales have been somewhat larg-
er than a year ago; many articles have
been parted with at so small a percent
age above first cost that scarcely was
the return enough to pay fixed charges.
The general result of operations, never
theless, has been satisfactory. Our
sales for the year have been $4,096,-
27S.93. This is about s175.O00 more than
a year ago To railroad and express
companies we have paid the sum of
1924, 900. and for repairs during the year
the sum Of $33,02S.0s.
"A sum equal to 10 per cent on the
capital stock was ordered credited to
the dividend fund account TO provide
for the payment of two per cent and
an extra per cent dividend during the
current year, the remainder of the
profits shown being used to provide for
changing the front of our drug depart
ment, purchasing an additional eleva-
tor pump and electric motor, and Il
duplex % x. w. generator, some al
terations and changes in the shoe and
clothing factory to cost about $500,
etc"

ing Much Interest

Eernal. April 2.-The. taking Of evidence
in the Yarnell murder case WAS conclu1-
ed at noon today, and this afternoon was
consumed by the attorneys IN summing
up the case District Attorney Hatch
made a logical and forcible argument for
the prosecution. and carefully analysed
the evidence in an effort TO show that the
killing of Landoval the Mexican. by Var
nell was not justifiable by any construc-
ton.
Attorneys Nielsen and Pope, for the de-
Tense. com batted this idea and set up the
contention that Landoval was ugly and
had threatened Yarnells life. and that
the defendant had tried to avoid the con-
flict which led to the killing. The argu-
ments were not concluded when court
adjourned until Monday. when Attorn y
Jacob Evans. for the defense. will make
the main plea on that size, and Judge
Hatch will close for the prosecution.
Public interest does not abate in tho
case, the court room being crowded. ard
even standing room being at a premium
There are a number Of other matters
to come Up in addition to the presenr
case. and court will no doubt be in ses-
sion the most OF next week
