Wisconsin Plays important Part.

A fairy tale in figures showing the
commercial progress of the United
States post-otiice department was
made public. Wisconsin played an inn
portant part in this story of marvel
GUS growth, as was shown in a list of
postmaster generals from Benjamin
Franklin to Frank H. Hitchcock
Since 1866 Wisconsin has furnished
four heads of the department. In 1868
Alexander w. Randall, governor of
Wisconsin from 1858 to 1862, was first
assistant postmaster general. In 1866
he was appointed postmaster general
which office he held nearly three
years. Wisconsins next postmaster
general was Timothy 0. Howe who
served for more than a year under
President Arthur During the first
three years of Clevelands first term
William f. Villas, Madison, was post
master general. From January Is,
1902, to October 10, 1904, Henry c.
Payne was in charge of the postoffi ce
department in the Roosevelt cabinet.
The present postmaster general,
Frank H. Hitchcock, was for years a
resident of kenosha.

Oconto Appeals to Government.


Final action by the national board
of engineers on the Oconto harbor
project will be deferred until Senator
Stephenson and Representative kues-
termann have an opportunity to be
heard The commercial interests of
Oconto were greatly disappointed
when advised by Maj Bromwell that
on the basis of preliminary exam
ination with a view to harbor improve
ments the board of engineers for
rivers and harbors has agreed on a
tentative report that 1T is not appar-
ent that there have been such changes
in commercial and navigation condi-
tions at Oconto as would warrant a
reversal of the previous findings of
the board which were unfayorable to
the improvement"
For many years Oconto has been
fighting for better harbor facilities,
and in the last rivers and harbors act
a survey was authorized, The Bust
ness Mems association of OCOntO has
appealed to the Wisconsin congress
sional delegation to have the question
of improvements reopened.

HE FAVORS ATTENDING
GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

Secretary Reynolds Of the Weber
Club states that the time is drawing
rapidly near when the Good Roads as
sociation will hold It's annual meeting
In Salt Lake The convention will
convene January 18th, at the Salt Lake
armory.
This good roads proposition Is Of
most vital Importance to the city Of
Ogden" said Mr. Reynolds today, "and
we should make every effort to send
a strong delegation to the convention,
If the contemplated improvements go
through. 1t means that Ogden will
have finely graded highway between
here and Salt Lake, from which Og-
den VIII derive great benefit
1T means that a hundred or so au-
tomobile parties will run up here every
Sunday TO eat trout and chicken din
ners In the canyon and about town, as
we'll as expending money In other
ways. Besides the Sunday visitors
there will be innumerable evening
parties. as it will only take an hour or
more to make the distance over good
roads, and Salt Lake residents as well
as transients will take advantage OF
the opportunity for a pleasant run
Every broad-minded citizen Of Ogden
should take personal interest In this
matter and see that the good roads
movement is pushed through"

NATIONAL BANK OF N. Y.
LARGEST IN AMERICA

The National City Bank of New
YORK. the largest banking institution
in America, has moved into it's new
building on Wall street. The removal
was simple matter of crossing the
street from its old home at So Wall
street, and the transfer of the bank's
enormous holdings OF cash and so
curities was accomplished as easily as
Ii they had been a few bundles OF
everyday merchandise.
IL is necessary to 60 to some OF the
great central government banks of
Europe to find an institution whose
resources compare with those OF the
National City bank. It's total assets
recently touched the record figures OF
$372, 2,849, 900. a sum sufficient to pay
of the national debts of Mexico and
all the Central American countries.
A few months previous the cash re-
serve Of this institution was nearly
$T00000,00 Early In November gross
deposits touched the high figure OF
S30S, ,77S, 900.
The new home of the National City
bank in the rebuilt custom house Is
worthy of Americas largest banking
institution. A year ago the old Gus
tom house, which entirely occupies P
city block on lower Wall street, was
turned over to the builders. The III
terror was completely removed, hut
the granite walls, with the familiar
Ionic columns, were left practically
untouched. The architects. Messrs,
McKim, Mead G White. solved the
problem of rnising the structure four
stories and converting II into a modern
banking domicile without changing tho
buildings architectural character and
tradition. BY addin8 Corinthian col
cnnade and adherlng strictly to a
scheme OF classic simplicity. 1t is be-
iieved that an admirable result has
been obtained. The altered structure
has certainly lost none OF Its former
monumental character, while the al.
terations have made 1t a commodiaus
and most interesting home for bank.
The entire lower section is given
ever to n great banking chamber,
whose ceiling is sixty feet nigh; IT Is

panels, ballustrades. etc, are OF a very
light gray Italian stone, and the floor
is of smoothed stone slabs IRON
France The only color that enters
into the scheme OF this banking room
is due to the presence OF few solid
bronze fittings and the dull mahogany
furniture. The glass dome is a simple
combination OF duh. uncolored glass
and bronze.

WASHINGTON

Any booking agent that would
take advantage of Manager Blakes-
lees trusting nature ought to be
prosecuted, for if there is one thing
on earth George wants to do it is
to play good shows, Well, anyhow
this week he has Miss Rothert
who is good to look at whether her
heels or head happen to be in the
ascendency. Her partner, Cook,
has been here before and although
good, is not the kind that lives
forever. There are two sketches,
one by Weston & Young and the
other by Herbert Brenon and Helen
Downing, both billed as comedy.
So they are if you are not particu-
lar about the definition. Martynne
creates some exceedingly pretty
mirror and light effects in extend
ed skirt dancing, which is some
what novel in being performed by
a man disguised under a rather
soured looking female face cast.

AUDITORIUM

The Shirley company always
makes good in frontier plays, and
their offering this week, THE Love
Route" is no exception to the rule.
1t is one of the best efforts of the
Shirleys in their record-breaking
run in Spokane, which will close
next week with the laughable farce
comedy. "The Baby Chase" The
cast in "The Love Route" is well
balanced. Miss Shirley is at home
in the part of romantic but prac-
tical girl of the plains, who while
managing her cattle ranch Is fight
ing the effort of a railroad to in
wade her property. Her love for
the wounded John Ashby, chief en-
gineer for the railroad, who Is
shot down by her cattle men, wins
the right of way for the railroad
where force had failed. George d.
McQuarrie gave a satisfactory por-
trayal of the part of Ashby.
Charles Clary displayed dramatic
skin in the role of Harry Marshall,
ranch foreman. and Jack Amory
combined comedy with business in
the part of Happington, the rail
road president, AS Lille Belle, in
quest of a sweetheart, Miss Laura
Adams was good, The cast was
generally satisfactory, as all were
rewarded with curtain calls.

THEATER
ORPHEUM

The new bill this week is rather
varied in the amount of applause
it draws. The feature is the act
of Mabel Hite and her husband,
Mike Donlin. who was strong
enough in baseball to tack onto u
fat vaudeville contract because OF
MabeTs talent as an entertainer.
Fortunately for the act she per-
forms most of sit, Mike being on
hand largely to be looked at as the
man whose name has figured in
the Giants baseball battles in the
past. Mike would be fulfilling his
mission better were he still play
ing ball, but his wife is right
where she belongs. They have a
baseball sketch. Billy Van, for
merly with Primrose & West, Har-
verly's and Vests minstrel COM
panies, has plenty of laughing bugs
with him yet and makes a hit. The
three Misses Weston are among
the best musical entertainers.
Claude Gillingwater has a terrible
time rehearsing Mrs. Jones,
moneyed aspirant to the stage.
Ralph Rockway and Ada Conway
are only fair, although Ralph has
good voice. The Piano Trinity's
music is good. Richard and Louise
Hamlin make a light hit with their
novel dancing and comedy. The
moving pictures are good.
