From the Ticket Office.

Salt Lake, April 20.-A daring and
successful robbery was committed at
the Denver G Rio Grande depot ticket
Office about 11;30 this morning and
the thief made a clean haul of S209 25
in greenbaeks, gold and silver, rifling
the safe and cash drawer and getting
away before anyone could stop him.
The robber had evidently been
watching his chance for some time
and when J. d. Brown, who is assis-
tant to Ticket Agent C. r. Alley. left
the office to so TO the freight depart.

climbed through the window, cleaned
out the safe and cash drawer. crawled
through the window again and disap.

A man who was standing along the
platform at the time saw the fellow
climb through the window, but did
not raise an alarm, thinking evidently
that the man had a right to so

man saw him emerge from the Office
and disappear through the yards

OVERLOADED WITH MONEY
BASED ON BONDS.

The editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle is an authority on national
problems of money and has written eX-
tensively on that subject, so that what
he says on our bond secured currency
can be accepted as well matured judg-
ment. In Its issue Of April 10, the
Chronicle says:
Solid as the United States is in its fl
nancial credit, there is faint poSsibil-
ity of depreciation of our paper cur
rency, not from any doubt of its re-
demption in gold but from sheer re-
dundancy The possibility is very faint
but at the rate at which we are eX-
porting gold 1t might easily happen
that there would be a run on the
treasury similar to that which occur
red In President Cleveland's time. We
have long since returned the gold
which We got from Europe in 1907 and
ing abnormal in that movement except
the fact that simultaneously with the
outflow of gold there has been an
increase in the volume Of national bank
/ notes at time of the year when, nor
mally, there should be no increase
whatever, and possibly retirement
That there may not and probably will
not be any depreciation in our paper
currency Is due simply to the fact that
the factors tending to depreciation
| are limited and that the autumn act
! ivity will find legitimate use for our
entire volume of currency Of all
forms. In the meantime a part Of the
surplus is obsorbed legitimately by new
J municipal and other first-class bonds
and the remainder is employed to sup
port wheat and stock speculation.
The trouble Is with our 9 per cent
bonds and theSrapid withdrawal OF gov
ernment deposit secured by those
bonds. 1t Is popular fallacy that the
United States can borrow money at Q
per cent, which it cannot do in any
very large amount because there are
other safe investments which pay bet
ter. Our 2 per cent bonds sell for a
small premium because they may be
deposited with the treasury as security
for deposits or bank currency II a
national bank can get per cent bonds
at par and pledge them as security for
Government deposits on which they
can make per cent. and on those de.
posits usually more, 1t is fairly prof
table But the rapid recall of the
government funds which is now goine
on is releasing per cent bonds bought

A NEW INDUSTRY NEAR OGDEN

The Wasatch Canning company com
menced the cutting OF Its asparagus
ON Tuesday and will continue the cut
ting of the crop until early summer.
This Is al industry that has devel-
oped In this section within the last
few years and which promises to add
to the fame of Ogden.
The connoisseurs declare Ogden
canned asparagus is equal TO the best
of California and superior to other
brands.
There are not more than 13S acres
of this grass" but that is acreage
enough to keep from 30 to 125 Japan
ese busy with gouging knives, cutting
down the tender growth.
On Monday, at a. M, while spring
flowers were dropping. the asparagus
plants were up and ready for the har-
vesters and thirty Japs were moving
along the rows. preparing material for
fifteen cannery employees. BY next
week this force of knife men will be
increased to 125 and the little army
will be kept on the move from an early
hour each day during two months or
more Of the asparagus season.
One might ask how 125 workmen
can busy themselves for that length of
time harvesting the product Of 13S
acres of anything. but those who have
read their bible to good purpose will
remember that authority refers to the
rapid growth of the asparagus plant,
how it springs up in night Were it
a weed to be suppressed, it might
provo more troublesome. than the Rus
sian thistle

grated with label of rich colors. as
paragus from Ogden sells at fancy
figure, but the cost only adds to the
