THIRTY DAYS IS
TIME ASKED FOR
Then United States Company
Must Exercise Option on Colo
RADIO and Knight SmeIter.

1t comes from a source that cannot be
questioned that the United States Smelt-
ing, Refining & Mining company has Sc
cured an option on the Tintic Smelling
companys works and upon the control of
the Colorado Mining company, as well
The option on the mine is known to run
for thirty days only, and the presumption
is that the big company has agreed TO
talk business on the smelling proposition
within the same length of time The
Colorado company trimmed its force
down to q very few men Friday, and IL
is said that no attempt will be made to
do much at the mine during the tendency
of the option that was secured during the
visit of the United States officials early
in the week What price has been fixed
on the sale of the Colorado could not be
learned, but the fact that the stock clings
close to the g a share mark makes IL
look as though that might be the price
agreed upon for control of the property.
A great deal of uneasiness was felt in
Tintic Friday night over a report that
the Knight interests had given an option
on everything they owned in mining
way a basis of S20.000.oO0. No serious
consideration is being given that report
here in Salt Lake as it is considered GER
tain that the United states company
would not bother about the numerous
prospects controlled by the Knight inter
ests at any price. Not because they are
without merit but because the big COM
pany is not in the development business
What it wants is mines with tonnage
and smelters that have a field in which
business can be done. A company like
the United States does not care what a
property costs, as long as 1T knows 1t Is
getting its moneys worth
For weeks it has been known that a
dicker of some kind was pending for the
Tintic Smelling company's works, and the
information that reaches The Herald
makes it appear certain that, before the
first of April, the formal closing of these
deals will be officially announced.
Should the United States company buy
the Tintic smelter # is reasonable to sup
pose that the works will be greatly en-
iarged and that copper smelling will be
made a feature of the business. There IS
one copper furnace at the plant already
in shape to begin the handling of ore
and it has been the presumption that It
would go at once into commission for sew
sral weeks past Several mines have
been waiting a signal to ship ores to the
plant designed for treatment in this fur
mace, but for some reason or another the
order to begin shipping has not been is
sued. 1t now seems certain that the man
agement Is waiting to see what the Unit
ed States company is going to do.

RECORD
Supervisor Hiser Wants to
Re-estabIish Prestige
Of Schools.
WON THIRD PLACE ONCE

The local public schools won third
place in the national penmanship con-
test held in 1896. Since that time the
department has not received as much
attention as it did previously and now
there is little probability the schools
would rank third best in the United
States. But W. s. Hiser, supervisor
of penmanship, then and now, says he
is trying to put the schools back on the
same standard. He believes there is
a reasonable chance. He is of the
opinion there are just as good chances
for the pupils of today to write as we'll
as did those Of twelve years ago.
Prof. Hiser has charge of the manu-
al training department at the Garfield
building and also instructs in penman-
ship. When he first became identi-
fled with the penmanship department,
unusual interest was created among the
children by competition. In the last
few years, however, the old spirit has
disappeared. At the meeting Of
school teachers at Indianapolis last
week, Prof. Hiser was elected secret
tary of the penmanship section and
president OF the manual training Sec
ton. He believes he now is in a posi-
ton to promote the penmanship work
in the local schools to.a better advan-
tage. At the same meeting Prof Hell
ronimus of the Garfield school. was
made president of the ward princi-
pals section.

The stock market appears to be rous-

National Trade Conditions

Trade reports from various parts of
the country are also more encouraging.
and suggest q moderate revival in
trade. 1t must be remembered that in
many cases orders rave been held
back owing to various uncertainties,
and that shelves in consequence have
become more or less bare in stock. The
result is an accumulation Of orders,
which necessarily affords signs of i'm
proved activity. A glance at Clearing
House returns in leading cities of the
United States last week shows that
bank clearings were more than IA per
cent in excess of q year ago, the gain
being we'll distributed In all sections Of
the country. In the previous week
the increase in clearings was II per
cent. every section of the country par
ticipating in the improvement. 1t is
also worthy Of note that the gross
clearings in the third week of March
were considerably larger than in any
of the three preceding years; even in
1905 when speculation was so much
more active than now. Railroad
earnings are also making more graft

second week of March showing a gain
of nearly 8 per cent over a year ago.
while forty -four roads IN the first week

were beginning to recover from the ef-
fects Of the panic.

To Keep Out of the Faction
al Quicksands of the Lower
House.
CONGRESS WOULD PUT
TARIFF LOAD ON HIM
President Made Object, Over

rel, So He Gets It Both
Coming and Going.
BY Sheldon 8. Cline.

Washington, April 5.-Despite his
pacific intentions, President Taft is
not escaping trouble with congress.
Mr.. Taft Is exceedingly anxious that
a proper tariff bill shall be passed at
the earliest possible day, but he
doesn't, want to mix in the factional
squabbles in senate and house. Like
a man in quicksand. though, he ap-
pears to be getting in deeper for all
his efforts to keep out.
There appear to be great many
members of congress who are unwil
ling that body shall discharge its con-
stitutional duty Of enacting legislation.
They want the president to tell con-
gress what to do. Therefore they
flock to the white house either for
instructions or for support in their
contentious.
Visits the White house.
A member Of congress will go to
the white house and explain his pet
tariff project to the president. II the
president fails to violently denounce
the project and kick the protector out
of the executive office, the member
goes back to the capitol and spreads
the word about that he has secured
the administrations support. Other
members fall for" the story and in
their eagerness to court white house
favor line up in support Of projects
to which Mr.. Taft never intended to
commit himself.
Naturally, this stirs up members op-
posed to the project in question, and
they flock to the white house. II the
president denies he has any special in.
terest in the project, the opposition
converts that into a declaration that
the administration is utterly opposed
to 1t and lose no time putting out re-
ports to that effect.
Between Two Fires.
Thus they get the president both
going and coming. The chances are
three in five that the matter in con.
troversy is one to which Mr.. Taft il
supremely Indifferent. but he is rep
resented as being first on one side
and then on the other. The thing
started even before the extra session
In the fight over the rules the presi
dents support was claimed by both
the Cannon organization and by the
insurgents. AS matter of fact. Mr.
Taft didn't care q continental what
rules the house adopted for it's own
government and didn't regard the mat
ter as any of his business. What he
did want was that congress should
get down to business and pass at the
earliest possible day a tariff bill that
would square with the pledge con
tanned in the national platform.
