growth of business and at the end of
three years the store was on a paying
basis.
In the past two years the business of
the store has more than doubled. The
first year the business was established
the amount of business done was about
600: this year the receipts will ex-
coed s., 10000 The present stock carried
is about $4,000. Since the opening of the
store a Encouragement of departments
from time TO time has been necessary to
accommodate the increased trade. Final
ly it was decided that the enormous in
crease in business made ii necessary that
the store should expand and as a result
the occupancy of the two upper floors
was agreed to.
After the improvements are made the
Keith-O' Brien store will occupy three
floors and the basement with a 195-foot
frontage on Main street, the width of
seven stores and a depth of 165 feet. The
control of the stock in the Keith-O Brien
company was purchased recently from
David Keith by d. +. Walker. Mr.. Wal
ker's son, H. w Walker, has been the
manager of the store for the past two
years and a half, and it was his enter
prise that made possible the present i'm
provements.

OLD WORLD ffUD VICTIMS
Rafael Ruffano and His Wife Foully

showed where his wife had crawled
through the store and to the walk. There
is no clue 20 the murderer The doors
and windows at the back of the house
were locked and the front door of the
store was open.
Ruffano and his wife moved to Gar

conducted a grocery store in Harlem To

compelled to leave Italy suddenly two
years ago, but gave no reason for their
hasty departure. Mrs. RuffanO seemed

WILL PREVENT
WASTING WARS
Central American Peace Con-
ference to Assemble in Wash
ington in a Few Days.

Washington, Nov. 3-The Central Amer
lean peace conference, which will con-
vene in Washington, probably on Nov. IL,
will draw to this city as delegates the
leading statesmen and professional men
of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mic
aragua and Salvador, as well as the min
listers accredited to the United States from
those countries. These men will assemble
here to represent the hopes entertained
in the various republics that the confer
ence may effectually end wars between
themselves and revolutions within them
selves.
1t is expected that the conference will
continue at least two weeks and 1t is
likely that II may run for month or
more. In preparation for the gathering
the upper floor of the building occupied
by the international bureau of American
republics has been fitted out in elaborate
style.
In addition to their regularly accredited
ministers to the United States, Guatemala
Honduras and Salvador have sent two del
egates each. while Costa Rica and Mic
sragua have sent but one
Probably the most picturesque figure
who will be seen at the conference is

Honduras, and now the recognized leader
of the Liberal party in that country. He

the Keith-O'Brien company occupies the
first floor and basement of the build
ing. With the two additional floors the
space occupied will be doubled. The i'm
provements have been under considera
ton for some time.
In addition TO the securing of the lease
for the two upper floors last Saturday,
Mr.. Walker has also announced the
changes in the store arrangement which
he contemplates. On the second floor will
be placed the wOmens cloak and suit de-
partment. the millinery department, the
boys and girls department, the drap-
cries, carpets and rugs. The third floor
will house the dressmaking and ladies'
tailoring departments, the reception room,
the fitting room, the millinery manufac-
turing department and the alteration
room for the cloak and suit department.
A commodious rest room is also planned.
BY this arrangement room will be made
in the first floor and the basement for
new departments and for the enlarging
of the present departments.
In the rear of the main floor, elevator
service will be provided. There VIII be
large inside stairway at either end of
the building. The present stairway lead

window placed in the space occupied at
present by the stairway. Connection will
be made by a steel bridge from the ship
ping rooms of the three-stOry warehouse
at the rear of the store to the second floor
departments. This warehouse is at pres
ent connected with the store by means of
a tunnel under the alley.
By the new arrangement the firm will
increase its stock of merchandise from
$4,000 to half a million. The number of
salespeople will be increased materially
to look after the additional business that
is expected with the expansion of the
store. New delivery wagons have al
ready been ordered and a large brick
stable has been purchased for the accom-
mediation of the horses.
The Keith-O'Brien department store
was opened on March %. 1903. with a
capital of $3.50, 900, divided into 800 shares
at 500 a share. Fifteen thousand dol
lars was held as treasury stock and il
still remains in the treasury. At its open
ing the Keith-O' Brien store carried 3d.

business. During that three years a large

AS an example of the confidence of
local business men in Salt Lake, even
at a time when the financial stress of the
country has caused much curtailment of
expenditures elsewhere. comes the an
nouncement that the Keith-O Brien com
pany has decided upon extensive improve
ments which will almost double the pres
ent floor space of the big department
store.
BY the terms of a lease signed Satur-
day by H. w. Walker, manager of the
Keith-O'B rien company, the two upper
floors of the David Keith building will
be occupied by the Keith-O' Brien COM
pany as soon as the necessary alteration
can be made. BY securing this additional
room the firm will be given the oppor-
tunty to increase the stock of merchan-
disc carried, add new departments and
have more space for the present depart
mentS.
The two upper floors will be remodeled
and altered to house the departments by
which they will be occupied. The alter
ations will be commenced as soon as the
holiday season is over. The improvements
agreed upon will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The extension cOntemplates an entire
