T0dE past year has been ono of
general prosperity and advance
ment for the people of Provo
and vicinity. The farmer and
frultgrowcr have gathered rich aud
bountcous harycsts, and tho banker
and business man have benefited by the
reward that has come to the producer
for hie labor and intelligent treatment
of the fertile soil on which he depends
for sustcnancc, comforts and wealth.
Probably in no year previous to the

tention of citizens of the state, and In
various parts OF the country outside of
the state. to the extent that they have

large number of people coming here to
make homes. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been paid for land in
the vicinity of Provo by honaseckers
and investors. The greater portion of
this newly acquired land viii be de-
voted to fruit culture, for which the
valley is becoming famous throughout
the United States. The fact that many

The State Mcntal hospital. which Is

progress in providing for the non-in-

obtained sufficient to show the hene-

BIG WOODEN MILLS.

The most important Industrial event
in the past year Is the resumption of
manufacturing operations by the
former Provo Wooden mills, which
have been purchased and put in opera

and are now known as the knight
Wooden mills. The mills are tho largest
between the Missouri river and the
coast, and when operated to their full
capacity, with $50 employees. turning

market In all parts of the United

Now, after being closed down for

opened with strong determination
to make them success and with
bright prospects for success. They
have been placed under the manage

mnnufac,hrcr, formerly of DeNtera

about six months, and the operating

WHISKERLEsS OREGON.

A dozen years ago Oregon was the
big-whiskered state of the nation,
says the Washington correspondent
OF the St. Louis Star. Senators
Mitchell and Dolph and Congress-
man Hermann and Ellis wore whis-
kers which made them look like the
rare old plainsmen" of the dime
novel. Oregon whiskers in the halls
of the national congress were ia
nous. But all the glory is gone.
Oregon is a whiskerless state, so far
as it's representation in congress
goes. Jonathan Bourne is of smooth
face, and slight mustache only
adorns Senator Chamberlain up
per lip. Big Willis Hawley came
from Oregon without whiskers. Ell
lis, of great whisker fame of years
ago, held on to his until this session
of congress, when he showed up
without the beard that had caused
CONSERVATION among the BARRIERS for
so many years. No one knew him
and he had to go about introducing
himself. The disappearance of Ore
gon whiskers, really is a notable
event in the affairs of the capital

HETTY GREEN
GIVES HALF
A MILLION

New York, March 17.-Mrs. Hetty
Green will indirectly make New York
City an Easter offer valued at $780,
600, according to Miss T. Brizzi, di-
rector of studies at the Christopher
Columbus University today.
Miss Brizzi said that Mrs. Green in
tends to give Countess Leary a large
plot of ground on Fifth avenue, near
Central Park and the Museum of Art,
to enable the countess to carry out
her plan for a memorial to Christie
pher Columbus.
The memorial is to be a free uni
versity of art, where students are to
be taught the higher handicrafts with
out cost to themselves.
The university was started by
Countess Leary three years ago, and
now occupies five houses on Charlton
street.
According to Miss Brizzi, the land
to be given by Miss Green will front
Fifth avenue for block, and on it a
great palace of art is to be con-
structed.
Miss Brizzin said that she expected
1t would be year before construction
of the new buildings would be com
pleted.
