vided that 1t can be made to yield
profit. the New York Star says. Tne
space buyer for such concern has to
be a man of intelligence and adapta-
bility. for he may cover the city and
a certain area of the surrounding ter
ritory. meeting all sorts Of people. city
folks and farmers.
Some won't sell their space at any
nrice. some want too much. and then
there are some who will sell for some
sorts of signs but not for others. The
buyer must know how to get along
with everybody with whom he does
business.
Incidentally the wall-space buyer
keeps track of all the changes along
the railways and the highways within
his outside territory and he keeps also
a constant eye on real estate transac-
tions in the city, to know where new
buildings are going up and where old
buildings are to be torn down. He
may be able to buy the side Of new
building or the top space on 1t where
it rises above the building adjoining
or perhaps he can get the exposed side
Of an old building on an adjoining va
cant lot.
On some city side walls there might
be room for sign forty. fifty. sixty
feet high. while on the side and roof
of a country barn or shed the space
would be far less. Sometimes In the
country you see an advertising sign
painted along on a number of sheds.
Some of the spaces bought cost a
high price, some are bought low. Many
of the spaces acquired in city or coun-
try may be held more or less perma-
nently. Some are held for shorter
periods and of some the tenure may
be only temporary, as in the case Of
side walls soon obscured again by
new buildings, but new spaces are con-
stantly being leased and the aggregate
amount Of space is kept up or In
creased.

York has under its control for adver-

SLOW TO CONVERT.
What . Spanish Priest Says of the

What . Spanish Priest Says of the
Father Joseph Villa, Of Barcelona,
Spain, as Catholic missionary who
has labored for the conversion Of the
Chinese for a quarter Of a century,
gives the reasons why it is so difficult
to win them to Christianity.
There are now about a million
Catholics in China, about onethird Of
whom were born into the church and
the remainder were won after attain
ing maturity. This Is slight when one
reflects that 460,O00,0OO are still CROP
ing in the darkness. The Catholic
church has sent more missionaries
and more money to convert China
than she has to any other country.
And what awful sacrifices have been
made to make her Catholic Over
5000 European missionaries suffered
martyrdom or died in captivity there
yet the harvest has always fallen short
Of reasonable expectations.
"The cause must be sought In the
nature Of the Chinese, in the intensive
strength of their superstitions and
deep-rooted secular habits, and In the
absolute laical education OF the chill

again habitable cost nearly $2,700,OOO
additional of the same kind of curren-
cy. This makes total of over w.
100000 expended on buildings during
the past five years.
These buildings have been erected
for all kinds of purposes. Not only
were houses built that employees might
have a place to live, but others were
also put up in order that the men
might find enjoyment and amusement
therein. The list includes quarters for
both gold and silver employees. offices,
hotels, kitchens, commissaries, hOspi-
tails, shops, storehouses. jails, court
houses, Y. NJ. c.. A., 'clubhouses and
lodge halls. OF the foregoing the most
money was spent for quarters, the
amount of $3,6OO,000, gold, being used
for that purpose. The next important
item was the s55O,O0O expended for
hospitals. And in addition to all these
baths and closets were provided. cost
ing not quite 100000. besides over
100000 for buildings for various uses
not mentioned in the above list.
The writer has seen houses con-
structed of pine, less than three years
old, which evidently were held from
collapsing like eggshells only by a
miracle. On the other hand, buildings
in the interior, constructed of native
lumber and varying from fifty to sew
enty-five years old. have been absolute
ly untouched either by the climate or
by the ants. The canal commission.
however, cannot be blamed for import
ing it's lumber, since during the past
five years there has not been enough
native product to supply the market in
the city of Panama alone, to say moth
ing of the millions Of feet required by
the commission. During the last few
years there was an opportunity for
someone to make a quick fortune sell
ing hardwood lumber to the canal COM
mission, but that opportunity is now
past The forests are still standino 1t
is true, but the output will have to be
shipped for long distances, because
there is no longer ready buyer for
the same on the isthmus. The expense
for repairs the coming year will
amount to about $375.000. including
pay for carpenters, screening, painting,
plumbing and such small amounts of
lumber as will be necessary to replace
old boards.

of the killing. and that his testimony
with Woods will be sufficient TO con-
vict Kennedy of participating in the
crime.
II is stated by the officers that Dris-

OF the murder
When Williams was arrested In Og-
den he gave his name as George VIII
llams, but County Attorney Jensen
thinks there is no question but that
the man arrested in Rawlins is the
same Williams that was undor arrest
hcre. When Williams was in custody
here Woods could not be located, and
the evidence at hand at that time was
hardly sufficient TO hold Williams on
the charge of forgery. so he was dis
charged. Attorney Jensen says now
that If Williams is returned to Utah
he will prefer another charge of for
gerry against him, or. rather, renew
the old charge. Williams is an edu-
Gated man, employed as interpreter In
many criminal cases, and is a very
shrewd fellow. He and Woods were
closely associated.

"THE SERENADE''

On Wednesday night. Dec. 18th. Oe-
den will welcome the salt Lakers'
in their praise-worthy production of
Victor Herbert's beautiful and catchy
opera, THE Serenade"
A great number of Ogden theater
patrons will remember the delightful
impression this opera left. when the
BostonianS. with an all-star cast,
played 1t To the younger social set
this opera will prove a strong draw
ing card, as 1t has been some time
since it was played here and the
charming music will become so popu'
lar that everyone will be humming,
singing and whistling the melodies.
THE Serenade' has a strong love
story. as we'll as catchy lines and
music attached TO 1t and one never
loses interest from the rise of the
curtain to the end OF the opera. The
play opens with a picturesque noun
tain scene in Spain.
AS the plot OF the opera begins to
weave we find Yvonne searching for
her bandit lover. who has Tilted her
for the love OF another Colombo, the
father of Yvonne, is travelling with her
when they happen to meet a tailor, by
name Gomez, and here they keep the
audience in an uproar with their vocal
practice on the serenade. Gomez
quits his profession TO learn the song
so that he may win the affections OF
Dolores. The duke is an old. near
sighted. "has-been," and is kept busy
trying TO watch Dolores. who is all
the time flirting and falling in love
with some one she meets. The miX-up
that occurs at the monastery Is one
OF the cleverest bits of opera work
that is found. both IN vocal and acting.
After many trying ordeals in which
Dolores changes her attire TO that OF
a boy in order to get I'm the monas'
terry 10 see Alvarado. her lover. the
play ends with the duke getting the
worst OF it while Dolores is given her
lover.
The musical numbers OF the secoCd
act are beautiful. but very difficult
in fact, Dolores sings the Angelus
song In such finished style that her
audience cannot get enough.

of the social events Of the season. =
