MONEY OUTLOOK
IS MUCH BETTER
Distinct Improvement in Senti-
ment Noticeable in Great
Eastern CenterS.

New York. Sept. s.-There was a dis
tinct improvement in sentiment over the
financial outlook last week, which was
traceable to an important extent to the
failure of some of the representations
of trouble which had been credited. In
several instances where the event jus
titled the appTehensions the market
showed that the bear party had more
than sufficiently anticipated the bad news
and the buying to cover shorts helped on
the recovery in prices. These conditions
in the market must be taken according
" in the estimating of the extent of the
Improvement indicated by the near re-
coVery in prices. That there was a marked
subsistence in the pressure of selling and
a decrease in the feeling of apprehen-
sion could be inferred from this as much
as anything else. There were not lack
ing some positive developments of a ia
vorable character as well
principal item in the Frightening
prospect was the easier money market.
The strain Of the September LIST settle
ments. which were unusually large,
proved much less severe than was eX-
pected The call money market did not
get above per cent at any time and
promptly relaxed. while in the rates for
time loans there was nothing like a col
lapse. This was considered as the widen
ing effect Of the relief measures of the
United States treasury. the announcement
of which led to an almost immediate re-
Taxation in foreign money markets and
in foreign exchange rates here.

BURGLAR MADE FAST TINE
Son of Cashier Parks of Las Vegas,
New, Bank Took Two Shots
at Bold Robber.
Especial to The HeraldD

Las Vegas. New, Sept. S.-A daring and
unsuccessful attempt was made yesterday
morning about o'clock TO burglarize the
residence of Cashier Parks of the Las
Vegas bank. The burglar cut away the
screen door. but failed to gain entrance
through the heavy oak panels of the main
door His determined attempt to gain en-
trance awakened the inmates and the son
Of MI. Parks took two shots at the culprit
as he ran away Neither shot took effect
other than to increase the speed of the
burglar in search of cover.
All property values in Las Vegas has. in
creased from 100 to 500 per cent ard the
townsite company has taken all lots not
disposed of off the market. This is owing
to the well boring outfit having struck
artesian water in abundance. 1t has been
clearly established that artesian water can
be encountered anywhere along the strip
known as the Las Vegas desert The land
is arabic and rich for cultivation and all
that was needed was a sufficiency of wa
ter to irrigate it. The citizens OF Las
Vegas organized a Well-boring company
and have driven two wells, both OF which
have proven successful Attorney Beal
and Commissioner Buol are the two men
who have exercised the most persistence
in bringing about the flattering results.
There Is no doubt as to the future of Las
Vegas and its agricultural possibilities.
This vast valley will bloom and blossom
within the next few years and the ar
tesian wells are what have given Las We
gas new life, her people real enthusiasm
and the country prosperous future

UTAH MEN HOOK
Up WITH MOFFAI
Company Will Be Formed to
Build Road to Colorado
Utah State Line.
H0BBLE CREEK FAVORED
JESSE KNIGHT WILL FIGURE IN
THE CONSTRUCTION DEAL.

The section of the MOffat road between
the ColoradO-Utah state line and Provo,
Utah, will in all probability be constructed
by a company of Utah capitalists.
This was the announcement made last
night at Provo after David Moffat, Jesse
Knight Reed Smoot, W. Lester Mangum,
r. Eugene Allen and others interested.
had held long conference over matters
connected with the construction of the
Moffat line into Utah
The line to be built from Provo will
meet the line coming through from Den
yer at the state line ana the company
building this end of the road Will be SIM
ply a construction company.
Favor HobbIe Creek.
The route from Provo through the
mountains has not been fully determined
upon as yet, though ii is understood two
routes are being surveyed. 1t is certain
that the line will either go through Provo
canyon, through which a Rio Grande
branch now goes, or through doDnle
Creek CANYON to the east of SpringVille.
1t is believed that the latter route will
be ultimately selected. preliminary
survey has been made over the route and
some grading was done several years
ago.
With either route the Moffat road will
tap the rich coal fields of Uintah county
and it is for this reason that Jesse Knight
is particularly interested in the conStruc-
ton of the Utah end of the line.
Mr. Moffat and his party are now on
their way to Denver in their special train,
going east over the Rio Grande from
Provo. without returning to Salt Lake, as
II was announced they would.
The deal between the Provo clique and
the Moffat road came as result or al
most q years negotiations, ending with
the visit of Mr.. Moffat and his officers
to that city this week. He spent some
time in Provo and was constantly in con-
ference with Messrs. Knight and Dusen-
berry and tirelessly looked over the valley
end of the projected connection and its
resources from a railroad point of view.
Saturday he was the guest. of Judge
Dusenberry on a trip across Utah lake
to look at the aluminium clay fields near
Pelican Point The trip was made across
the lake in a launch. In the party were
Messrs Moffat William G.. Evans, vice
president; William A Deuel., secretary; 5
M Perry, a director; H. A Sumner, chief
engineer, all of the Moffat road; Jesse

president of the clay company; DR.. Brlm-

university; r E. Allen, private secretary
.LeSse Knight. and other prominent cit
liens of Provo. Mr. Moffat discussed the
general railroad situation for almost
the entire trip.
