RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT.

In the story of the years wonderful
growth of the intermountain country.
the part railroad construction and ex-
tension has played is most important.
The Western Pacific, with its main line
to California. the Salt Lake Route. with
its Las Vegas & Tonopah to Bullfrog
and beyond, the Short Line, with it's
have all enlarged the area of Salt
Lakes activities. The Bullfrog branch
has brought the city into commercial
relations with Beatty, Rhyolite, Green
water and the smaller camps In the
same region, Offering a field for invest
ment which has been fully appreciated
and promising big returns for the mer-
chants and mining men who are first
to take advantage of their openings.
The Minidoka branch has already es-
tablished several fiourishing commune
ties, and is opening still further large
tracts of agricultural land to irrigation
and settlement. The Yellowstone line
has diverted this way a surprisingly
large amount OF tourist travel which
will be increased as the line is more
fully known and approaches closer to
the park The Western Pacific has not
yet begun handling traff1c. but it is fast
approaching the mines Of the region
beyond the lake. and will soon be the

country, and giving its rich mineral belt

COME HERALD CONTRIBUTORS

In the preparation OF its New Year
edition this year, as in other years, The
Herald has secured the cooperation OF
experts in the various industries OF
Utah, Idaho. Nevada and wyoming
men who are thoroughly familiar with
the subjects assigned to them, and who
are able to write intelligently on those
subjects. The results of these assign
ments are found in the various sec
lions of The New Year Herald, issued
this morning.
Readers will find an article on poultry
by James Dryden. who is at the head
of the poultry department OF the e4-
pertinent station at the Agricultural
college of Utah. Mr.. Dryden Is rec
ognized authority on this subject, ana
those who are interested in the raising
of poultry will find many valuable sug-
gestions in his contribution.
Christian Jensen, who is in charge
of the dairy department of the Agricul-
tural college. contributes an article on

opment, and with II all is an attractive
place for labor and the things that go
to build up manufacturing centers. The
finest ciays in America for pottery OF
various kinds lie within a half day 5
ride of Salt Lake. material for Port
land cement is to be had literally in
mountains, brick material is plentiful
and of good quality, yet none OF these
in manufactured form can be had in
sufficient supply to meet the local de-
mand.
The jobbing trade Of the city reached
this year nearly $50, eoe, 900, and the year
closed with the best conditions the
wholesalers have ever known. New
territory has opened UP favorably along
the line of the San Pedro road clear
into southern Nevada's new camps. in
Ely and even in the territory which
used to be regarded as exclusively the
property of San Francisco. To the
north, the irrigation development of
southeastern Idaho has resulted in con-
siderable new business, and the pros
perity of the mining camps in Utah
has added greatly to the purchasing
power of the people and the resultant
expansion of distributing trade. Modi-
fications of freight rates by the local
roads have been favorable to increased
trade, and the rapid growth of all the
territory contiguous to the city has set
tied permanently the fact that Salt
Lake is to command the intermountain
jobbing trade.
Bank clearings for the past three
years show a total this year of over
1920. O00, 900, as compared with s211, o0o,-
900 last year and about $15s,oo0, 900 in
1904. The gain in two years has been
sl3S, O00, 900, or over So per cent-an in
crease hardly paralleled by any city of
its class in this country. This increase
is almost altogether due to natural
growth in legitimate business resulting
from developments in every line OF
commercial activity. 1t is substantial
as evidenced by. the statements of the
local banks, and it is the most satisfac-
tory evidence of the city's material
prosperity. The coming year may rea-
sonably be expected to surpass this
showing.

THE MIN ES.

One impressive fact stands out in the
story of Utahs mine and smelter re-
suits for 1906, and that is the certainty
that Salt Lake is rapidly taking first
place in the United States as the center
of mining operations. IN magnitude of
production, extent of operations under
way and in prospect, in smelling out
put and capacity, in dividends paid and
in promise for the future, the zone of
which this city is the natural and ac-
tual center has made more rapid strides
than any other mining country in the
world during the year just past

THE STORY OF THE YEAR.

In this New Year number OF The Her.
SD is told a remarkable story of the
years progress in the intermountain
states-a story of great material devel-
ppment. of unparalleled fortunes made
from the mines. of an empire being
opened where five years ago the desert
Eeste offered no promise of habitation
OF inducement to settlement. 1t includes
the history of a growth in wealth for
fhis state and its neighbors such as few
reaIize, even though they have been
b the midst of it.
Whether one considers the marvellous
development Of the copper camps in
Utah and Nevada, or the romances of
fhe Nevada bonanzas; whether the tale
pf Idahos tremendous growth in popu-
tation and agricultural reclamation, or
the phenomenal improvements under
way and contemplated by the railroads
1t is all unprecedented In the history
Of the west and has been equaled sell
dom elsewhere. In ii all, Salt Lake
finds peculiar qualification and pride be-
Eausc 4NCfdud . pIOEpCAlly 1QdIlO
progress are hers; and every important
step in the development OF the empire
Is to her advantage. Her mining men
are interested in their mines. her cap
italists are doing their part in the cam
paign of development there as well as
here. and the benefit of one is shared
by all.
A review of the issue impresses one
with the fact that the day OF big things
in the intermountain empire has ar
rived Mining is done on a big scale;
railroad construction and extension
goes by hundreds of miles, where it
used to be in tens and twenties; smell
ters handle their tens of thousands of
tons of ore daily; bank clearings, real
estate transactions, commercial enter
prise, all have expanded to metropol-
itan figures.
With this expansion has come a spirit
Of enterprise and public spirit for the
city and state as gratifying as the ma
terial prosperity which inspires it. Some
jealousies still remain of the old day;
social and political problems still per-
pick and annoy, but they no longer dis
courage the man who sees and under
glands the significance of the new spirit
mat has come with new men and new
IRE only obstacles to be overcome and
lend interest to the days work; to
shem the problems that nave initiated
30 seriously against united effort for
development seem simple of solution
though slow in the solving. And TO
their energy and Hberality of mind, the
problems are only incidents in a splen-
hid campaign for the upbuilding of
their city and state.
The year has seen the fulfillment of
great dreams, and the future is full of
promise. What has seemed a twelve
month of surprising achievement is
only the beginning of still greater I'M
1ertakings. A new city will be built
here and improved as BELTS its position;
p new transcontinental line will be
pushed to completion on the desert. and
bther lines will extend the commercial
domain of the city. The suburban towns
will be brought into closer communica-
ton with the capital, and huch trans
portation facilities given this valley as
its growing population and urgent needs
demand.
The day of big things for Salt Lake
and its tributary territory has arrived.

OF Interest to Public School Districts

State Superintendent OF Public
Schools Darlington furnishes the fol
lowing items Of interest to the public
school districts Of the State:
There win be S20,24O.7S more
state moneys to apportion to the pub.
lie schools this year than last. The
enumeration Of children will be neatly
200 less. The per capita this year
will be about : 81. instead of Sl.33
last year
State Superintendent Darlington
will not be able to make the apportion
mcnt of State school moneys until
about July %, ewing to the fact that
several county clerks are derclct in
making report OF school enumeration
to him. School districts may safely
count on receiving Sl.37 per capita
enumeration. The money will reach
the county treasurer early in August.
The large decrease in school popu.
lation is not confined to few local..
ties There is decrease in more than
three-fourths of the counties, mainly
in the rural districts. The following
counties show the largest falling off
during the past year. Adair sos;
Audrian 424; Bates Ss5; Cass 374 !;
Davies 305, Franklin $50; Grundy
S54; Harrison S8l; johnson 1858 !;
Macon 1926; a total of ten counties OF
1875.
There is a scarcity of teachers in
nearly every county in the State, due
mainly to low salaries paid teachers.
Nearly every kind of work pays better
than teaching and the best teachers
are seeking better pay. The next
Legislature should pass o minimum
salary law. No teacher should be
paid less than $40 per month for s
months. No district should receive
any of the public moneys unless i
levied 65c on the 500 assessed valu.
alton or maintained an s months schoo
and paid ga per month to the teacher
Amy district not able to support such q
school on q Coo levy should have extra
State aid.

FLAT RlVER-FARMINGT0R
Rain interrupts Good Ball Game Only
Four Innings Played With Score Of
/ to 0 for Pennington.

Rain in the fourth inning interrupted
what was undoubtedly one Of the best
games of the season last Sunday be-
tween the Pennington and Flat River
teams at the Flat River Ball Park.
Pennington scored one in the first in
ming, making the score to 0 when
the game was called. This game does
not count as one Of the series of five TO
be played by these mines, as at least
five innings must be played before it is
a game.
A pleasing feature Of the game was
the work Of the umpires, Thos. Demp.
sey for Fiat River and Golfer of Doe
Run for Pennington. The utmost
good feeling prevailed during the
game, and it is to be hoped that
throughout the series nothing will &C.
cur to mar the friendly rivalry of the
mines of the two towns in their test OF
skill. A large and good. natured
crowd witnessed the game. The
same teams will play at Flat River
next Sunday.
