Levy took his things from this room,

Counts Out $4,000.

We all met that afternoon in room 31S
in the Knutsford and put up the money.
Everyone seemed to have lots of money,
and the bets were put up. 1 counted out
$1,000 in $50 bills and gave it to Howard
the stakeholder. He seemed to count all
the money hurTiedly and put 1t in his
pocket
That evening when I returned to my
room 1 talked to T. Smith, a business
man Of Logan, who was staying with me
in room 211 at the Cullen. We decided
that it was a fake, and when 1 got up
about 5 o'clock this morning 1 notified
the police. The chief tod me to go to
the Knutsford and stay with Howard
and that when the race was pulled off
he would have policemen there TO arrest
the gang. 1 think they must have been
watching me, for I never saw Howard
again. He went away. leaving his grip
and luggage at the hotel.
while 1 was watching for Howard in
the lobby of the Knutsford, Boyle came
in and l told him that l wanted to get
out of the deal and wanted my money
back He said he would go out and look
for the stakeholder. While he was out
Levy came in and 1 told him that l want
ed my money back. Levy said he would
go out to look for Boyle. Neither one
ever did come back"

REUNION OF HAND-CART

BY JOSIAH ROBERTSON.

Ye Saints who dwell on Europe's shores
Prepare yourselves with many more,
To leave behind your native land,
For sure His judgments are at hand.
But you must cross the raging main
Before the promised land you gain,
And with the faithful make a start
To cross the plains with the hand cart.

LOCAL TRADE
UNUSUALLY GOOD
Fall Business in All Lines Is
Exceptionally BriSk-Build-
ing Operations Increase.
HOUSES ARE STILL SCARCE
MONEY MARKET sTRoNG( BUT
STOCKS ARE WEAK.

Very little change has taken place In
local trade circles the past week, good
average early fall business being handled
In practically every line of business.
The most hopeful sign is the continued
activity in the real estate market and
the increased activity in building opera
lions. From all indications there will be
no let up in the latter until late this win
ter. These are the two things that count
heavily in Salt Lakes favor at present as
the slump in the building market through
out the greater part of the summer has
been decided and disastrous.
Banks report an unchanged situation
locally and with very little change in the
national situation. Loans are being made
at the same rates of interest in effect for
several months past and the only note
worthy feature of the situation is posi-
bly, the close scrutiny that is being given
collateral security. A greater interest in
bond investments is noticeable throughout
the country.

Retailers and Wholesalers.

The retail dry goods men. the shoe deal
erS and the clothiers are experiencing an
unusually heavy fall business. The hard
ware dealers claim their September busi-
ness this year is considerably better than
their trade from the same month last
year The stove market Is naturally the
feature of the business at this time and
will continue SO for several weeks to
come.
The dry goods stores are still holding
opening sand those of the past few days
have proven exceptionally attractive.
The volume of retail trade as whole has
held its own with that of the past two
weeks. Styles are very nobby this fall
in everything. Prices are about the same
as last year with the exception Of silk
stuffs.
Realty and Building.
The demand for residence Tote continues
to be the feature of the. realty market
though there is an increased demand and
inquiry on sOmmerciel property. The scar
city of houses for rent continues with no
indications of the situation being relieved.
The fact that advertisements Of houses
of theETAOlN SHRDL UWD WD WD
that can be rented bring from seventy
five to ninety replies within twenty-fOur
hours after the publication of the adveT-
tisements is a pretty fair indication of the
condition with which tenants and rental
agencies are now confronted.
There are probably a dozen apartment
houses nearing completion about town.
Rents have not increased to any extent
and flats.
Within two weeks the first story of steel
work will be set on the Newhouse build
ings. according to statements made yes
teTday by the engineers in charge Of the
works. The steel for the first two stories
viii be here early this week. A train
load of stone is now on the ground.
The Judge building is being pushed as
fast as possible though a lack of brick
has stopped the work several times the
past ten days. Contractors are the bust
est they have been in months and the
biggest part of their work IS small houses.
The new building of the Utah Savings q

We expect Judge Forrest will enjoy
the rolling deep better than any OF
the others. as it will be his first ocean
trip. After he gets his "sea legs" he
can stand and watch those great
mountains of water rol! down upon
them and think of the beauty OF our
rolling prairieS in comparison. If his
stomach should rebel at the antics of
the ship we fear his interest in lying

sideration of higher criticism-noth-
ing higher than the plain gospel plan
of salvation, nothing lower than the
love of the father who sent His Son
that the world might be saved from
itself and it's sins of omission and
commission. After all, there is moth
ing better than the old gospel preach
ed in the old way.
Calfee is optimistic. He breaches
hopefulness and helpfulness. 1t is
not a theological gospel he breaches.
He disclaims it as such emphatically,
, and claims for it that it is simply a
gospel message offered in love and free
for the acceptance.
Mrs. Calfee is a sweet-voiced singer.
AS soloist and leader she conducts a
large chorus choir. The Calfees be-
lieve in singing. 1t is a mainstay Of
the services.
Rev. Calfee was born in Iowa. From
the local schools he was graduated
from Simpson College at Iindianoia,
Iowa, then from Garrett Biblical In
sbitute, Evanston, Ill. After a years
study in Boston he took up the act
i've ministry. He has held pastorates
in Lincoln, Neb., Council Bluffs,
Mo-, Sioux Falls, s. ID. He has spent
several years in evangelistic work
with great success. His preaching
has attracted throngs of people, that
always exceeded the capacity Of the
buildings in which services were held.
Plan to attend these meetings and
help capture Canton for God and
righteousness. Services will be held
every day except Monday, at 3 and
7:45 p. m. Mems a meeting on
Sunday afternoons. Look for hand
bills with the names of the various
committees, and further announce
ments concerning the services.
