There has been quite a discussion
among the automobile dealers of late
about the outlook for business. Some
of them report that it is a little slow
at present while others declare that
they are enjoying better business than
they did a year ago Among the lat
-ter is. the Locomobile company of
America, which has a factory branch

+ .'arving J. Morse. manager of the
local house, reports that since July l
it has. sold 7216 cars. the last order,
for a limousine, coming in as the state
ment was being made last evening.
This is "A per cent Increase over
the record for ast year.
" This with the reports from some or
the agents of higher priced cars shows
that those who buy this grade of cars
are taking them as fast as they can
get them It is also a good sign, for
It does not show any financial strin-
gency- In times when money COM
mences to tighten 1t is generally
shown in the sale OF high priced cars.
owners of this grade of cars delay
their purchases for a season, making
the cars they have on hand last longer
than usual.
The sale Of popular priced cars is
not as active as the dealers would like
to have it, There are several reasons
for this There is a prevailing opinion
I. among buyers that there is going TO
be cut all along the line in this class.
.On. this point the general public is in
error for all the changes in price of
standard. makes of cars that are likely
to take place have already been an
announced. Another reason for slack
trade is that the class of people that
buy these cars is diverting its funds at
the present time toward buying Christ
mas presents.
The result Of all this will be that
when buying commences in earnest
again there viii be a shortage on the
coast, and epecially in California. This
is the season of the year when the
wrapped in snow, and the motorists
back there are not buying. Later,
however. the selling season will begin
on the Atlantic coast. and the dealers
in that Section will have TO receive
consideration. This means that out
ivest the buyer will have to wait for
cars.
There will not be enough cars to go
around this season. The slight over
production last year by some makers
taught them all a lesson. 1t taught
them that it is better to sell q little
short. clean up the factory and get
ready for the next seasons Business
than to have cars on hand that will
have to be forced when other makers
are getting out new models.
AS one dealer said yesterday: Il have
tried to impress on the minds of our
customers that this is the golden op-
portunity to get the cars they want
before it is too late Some have be-
lieved me, while others, L fear, think
that / have merely been trying to force

THE KIRKLAND WILDCAT.

This morning The Tribune prints
elsewhere n reduced fac-simile of one
of the notes issued by the bank es-
tablished in Kirkland, Ohio, by Joseph
Smith and some of his favorites in the
year 1887. We are indebted to "The
Sword of Laban,' monthly pub
lshed by Mr.. R. B. Neal at Morchead,
Kentucky, for the copy which we re,
produce.
There is an interesting and an alto
gether discredtable history connected
with that wildcat financial institution,
1t may be briefly stated as follows
Through land speculations, inability to
pay back money borrowed, and bad
management generally, Joseph aud his
coleaders in the church became heavily
involved. They were In great need of
funds-so desperately in need that
finally they appear to have become
reckless as TO the means employed to
recoup their fortunes. Oliver Cowdery
was sent to Philadelphia to have lot
of bank bills printed. and to procure
plates for the printing Of others as
the need therefor might develop. Or.
son Hyde was sent to Columbus, Ohio,
with a petition to the legislature for Il
charter for the Kirkland Safety So
ciety Bank" The bills which Oliver
Cowdery had printed, and the plates
that he had procured were engraved
with the title, "Kirtland Safety SO.
cicty Bank. - Joseph Smith records a
part of the movement in these words:
Elder Hyde was compelled to return
without accomplishing the object OF his
mission, while Elder Cowdery succeed
ed, at great expense, in procuring the
| plates and bringing them to Kirkland
1t is said that Cowdery brought bacl;
from Philadelphia printed bills Of vary
ing denominations, the aggregate run
ming up to the approximate sum of two
hundred thousand dollars. Besides, The
metal plates were on hand ready fol
printing another issue as soon as de
sired. Both the printed bills and tht
plates were rendered worthless by tht
refusal of the legislature TO grant thu
charter-the refusal being based upor
the evident unsoundness of the proposed
institution. But the brethren were des
perate, and in such straits they wer,
not to be bafhed by an obstruction
placed in their way by mere law. Al
always in such emergencies they began
to cast about for means whereby the,
could evade the law. They hit upol
the plan for doing so-also as alway
in such emergencies, even today. Or
January 2, 1897, a meeting of th,

PEARY's WICKED REPORT.

Probably no happening during recent
years has aroused so much interest.
and consequently so much agitation, in
the entire civilized world as has this
present north pole controversy. Tho
concern felt as to the outcome has been
widespread among all peoples who take
an interest in the advancement of
science, the indomitable intrcpidity Of
man under adverse circumstances, the
peculiar conditions prevailing in hith-
erto unknown places, and tho findings
upon final attainment of a goal long
sought.
But here in Zion there was an added
interest We Zionites have been taught
from childhood that once upon time
there were ten tribes of the people
of Israel lost to the world. They had
disappeared mysteriously and had Just
as mysteriously remained hidden. We
had also been taught that no veil Is
so thick, nor obstruction so apparently
insurmountable, but the "prophets of
the Most High, who run things in the
Mormon church were able to penetrate
or overcome SO these, under the sly
supposition that the north pole would
never be discovered at all, gave out
in all self-conGdence the wise conclu.
sion that the lost ten tribes of Israel
had been hidden away at the north
pole: that they would remain there until
the due time of the Lord; and that
when that time came it would be the
Mormon prophets themselves who would
lead the ten tribes out of the north and
down into warmer climes by the guild
ance of the strong arm Of the AL
MIGHTY. In fact, Joseph Smith went so
far as to have vision upon the sub
iect. See section 10 of the Doctrine
and Covenants. 1t is entitled, DIVISIONS
manifested to Joseph, the Seer, and
Oliver Cowdery in the Kirkland Temple,
April 3rd. 1886" After telling ell
about seeing the Lord Himself, Jo-
seph and Oliver go on to declare. in
paragraph IL, as follows:
After this vision closed. the heavens
were again opened unto us, and Moses
appeared before us, and committed unto
us the keys OF the gathering OF Israel
from the four parts OF the earth. and
the leading OF the ten tribes from the
land of the north.
But here we are up against 1T again.
Both Cook and Peary declare that there
ism t living creature at the pole, nor
anywhere near it. What wicked swat,
to be sure, upon our devout necksl
