TRUST COMP ANY
BUYS PROPERTY
Plans to Erect Fine Bank and Office
Building on South Main
Street.

Real estate is crossing the line from
the old to the new year in a lively
condition. A deal of more than Ordi-
nary Importance closed yesterday was
the purchase by the Utah Savings &
Trust company of the Buckle property
at 235 Main street. The significant
part OF the transfer is the announce
ment that goes with it to the effect
that the purchaser is to erect a fine
modern block on the lot. the lower
floor to be used for banking purposes
by the Trust company.
This deal was closed yesterday after
noon. 1t was engineered by w. j.
Halloran The directors of the Utah
Savings & Trust company were felici-
tating themselves over the close of the
deal. For some time they have felt
the need of additional room to accom-
modate their rapidly growing business.
Better banking facilities and additional
vault room. and safety deposit boxes
are now essential. This will be the
first bank TO go below the corner of
Main and Second South street.
The price paid for the property pur-
chased is $42, 400. There is a frontage
of twenty-seven feet. so that the price
is 81 500 a foot. 1t is now occupied by
the Buckle Brothers, tailors. 1t is the
understanding that possession is to be
given at once and that the Trust COM
pany. will begin building in the near
future. Fine office suites viii take up
all the stories above the first. 1t has
not been decided how high the build
ing will go.
Another important move to be made

Clearings by Far the Largest in His
tory of the City-COmpara-
tive Figures.

Banking in Salt Lake City was never
so prosperous as at the end of 1905.
This is indicated by the clearing house
figures given above. 1t Is also indi-
Gated by the magnificent showing Of
the deposits and business OF the banks
given In a statement elsewhere in this
paper
Better. than any statement as show
ing the condition OF the. local banks is
the absolute. reliance placed In them
by the citizens of the entire intermoun-
tain country. Never in the history of
the community has there been bank
failure that made so much as a ripple
on the surface of local business. The
old First National fell by the wayside
years ago as the result of gross mis-
management or worse The Shelter
bank closed within the past year. 1t
was but a small private concern and
did net figure in the banking business
of the community. In the last panic,
when banks OF all kinds were going
down like houses OF cards in all parts
of the country, the Salt Lake banks
sailed through without so much as a
CULVER, They are by far stronger now
than they were then, stronger than
ever in their history.
Reach Into other States.
A feature of the local banking situa-
ton that is of vital Importance is the
number of branch hanks established all
over the intermountain country by the
banks of Salt Lake City. Wyoming,
Idaho, Nevada and all parts of Utah
are being developed as the direct result
Of the enterprise of the local bankers.
Few cities In the country make better
showings as to banking than is made
by the capital city OF Utah at the OPEN
ing of 1906.
Important is the announcement that
in the year now opening the Utah Saw
fngs e. Trust company will erect a fine
new bank building on the east side Of
Main street between Second and Third
South streets on fine piece of prop
erty just purchased. The National
Bank of the Republic was completely
remodeled during the past year and is
now one of the handsome banks of the
west.

He was thoroughly democratic in al

HOW THE HERALD
WAS GOTTEN OUT.
Difficulties Encountered During the
Week Ended Yesterday Were
Very Numerous.

One hundred and forty miles of paper
in The New Years Herald this
morning A big mechanical plant set
up, a great new press broken in, a work
that ordinarily requires days, even
weeks. crowded into hours. Not regu.
lar edition missed, not a mail missed
1t was hard work, trying work, intelli-
gent work. And-here's your New Year S
Herald
Sometimes the tired men who labored
in the mechanical department Of The
Herald during the week that ended last
night wondered if they would be able
to get his New Years edition out. Some
times it is to be feared that, way down
in their inner consciousness, they didn't
care whether they got it out or not.
Sometimes they wished they had never
seen the interior Of newspaper office.
But, with a perseverance worthy Of the
cause for which they battled, they kept
at their work. The result Is before the
Salt Lake and lnter-mountain public.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 3O.-Frank Steunen-
berg, former governor of the state, was
killed at GAO this evening at his home
in the suburbs of Caldwell. A dyna-
mite bomb had been placed at his
front gate with some contrivance by
which it was exploded as he entered.
Both legs were blown off and he lived
but twenty minutes.
Reason for the Crime.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
member of the famous inner circle of
the Occur d'Alene dynamiters, whom
he prosecuted so relen tleSsly in 1899
while he was governor.
Governor GOoding is i'm communica-
ton with the authorities of that county
and is prepared to put the full support
Of the state behind the officials there
in running down the perpetratOr of the
crime.
1t is thought probable that the lead
ing detective agency of the country
will be asked to send some of its best
men to the scene.
Deceased was governor of the state
from 1897 to 1901, having been twice
elected. He was born in Iowa forty
four years ago and had been IN Idaho
since 1887. He leaves a wife and three
children.
Reward of $1,000.
Governor Gooding has informed the
Canyon county officials that the state
will offer A reward OF $1,000 for ap-
prehension of the murderer. A special
train is leaving here for Caldwell at 10
o'clock, carrying the governor and 9TH
ers who go TO assist In organizing the
work OF running down the criminal.
The latest information from the scene
is to the effect that the bomb was prob
ably placed by the gatepost and the
moving of the gate exploded it.
When persons rushing TO the spot
reached the PROSTATE man the latter
said something like ''Who shot me-
He also said something about turning
him over. but he lapsed into uncon-
seriousness at once and died without
giving any information. The victim s
| clothing and his shoes were torn to
tatters and his back was terribly in
Jured. Both legs were shattered
frightfully.
The shock of the explosion was felt
all over the town and broke all the
glass in that side of the governor s
house. Every road out of town is be-
ing guarded and it is hoped to inter-
cept every suspect.
Two TneS are under suspicion who
had been lying about Nampa several
days and left for Caldwell today. They
lived in the Occur d'Alenes at the time
of the riots there in 1893. Descriptions
of them are being wired in every direc-
ton.
Assassin Knew His Man.
A Statesman representative who
went to Caldwell on the special train
sends the following account of visiting
the scene Of the crime:
1.-The governor was killed at the west
gate leading TO the back door of his
home 1t is apparent the assassin
knew his habits, since a stranger would
have supposed he would go in at the
front gate, but it WAS his habit to use
the other The victim retained con
| sciousness about twenty-five minutes.

Difficulties In the Way.

There were difficulties in the way, diff
ficuties that at times seemed almost
insurmountable. To begin at the begin
ming:
Last Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock
every one of the linotype machines on
which the matter for The Herald has
been regularly set up stood in it's ac-
customed place in the composing room
in the Progress building. That night at
O'clock the eight machines, each weigh
ing a ton stood in the new composing
room in the new building and men were
setting type with them.
Each machine weighs a ton; each had
TO be handled as carefully as a fine
watch for no watch has mechanism
more delicate. The machines had TO De

down the alley In the rear and lowered
into the basement of the new building
Prior TO their arrival the individual mo-
tors that operate them had been placed
in position and the connections were
quickly made That night the paper was
set In the new building. the copy" be-
ing prepared in the old editorial rooms.
Wednesday morning the last paper was
issued from the old press.
But this was only a beginning The
rush to get out the New Years edition
was on in earnest. The regular editions
had to be gotten out Under no circum-
stances could they be interrupted AT
the same time the big new color press
had to he broken in. and one who has
never been through that experience can
have but the faintest idea of what this
means. Oh, the bucking and the bump
ing, the false starts. the sudden stops, the
adjustment of colors. the arrangement of
the plates. And through ii all was
heard the one word, Hurry, hurry hur-

After tea which was handed at $50,

given up and the scores taken with the
view of giving a prize for the highest
