THAT ROOSEVELT STORY.

1t will be remembered that while
from the Chicago convention, he stated
that number of the Taft delegates
had come to him and offered him the
nomination provided he would accept
it at the hands of the convention as
already made up; but, according to his
story, he virtuously spurned the tainted
offer, holding that the convention as
made up was an unauthorized body,
since his bogus contested delegations
had been refused seats therein.
In commenting upon the matter at
the time, wc said that it was fairy
story, which would need corroboration
BY names and confessions. It turns
out now that there was nothing at ali
to the story as it was told by Roose-
welt; but the story now is that the
chief leaders in the Chicago conven-
tion offered, provided President Taft
would agree, to unite with Col. Roose-
welt in nominating a third candidate
agreeable both to Roosevelt and Taft

story; but this same confirmation goes
on to saw that Roosevelt absolutely
rejected all compromise, insisting that
he himself must be the nominee; as he
said when the idea of compromise was
first mentioned, aud before the con.
vention assembled, 1.-The compromise
candidate will be Me- He held to
that right along, and would agree to ne
sort of compromise, and President Taft
was driven again to take the stanG
of fighting it out "unless death in
tervened.
According TO the story going now
1t would have been quite possible t,
nominate Governor Hadley Of Missouri
but Roosevelt wouldn't hear to il. Fl,
insisted that himself must be nominated
and nobody else. And so nothing cam
of the talk and efforts for eompromis
on third candidate. So again Roose
welt himself was the stumbling block
and drove President Taft into the posi-

GUERRILLA WARFARE

Our dispatches from the Orozco in

that this rebel leader is preparing to
conduct a guerrilla warfare. to the af-

this should turn out to be the case,
President Madero would be fully justi-

nation against the bandits who are thus
conducting such warfare: and in every
case where force Of this sort is chased
across the border into the United
States, we should have military force
enough at hand to capture the band
and disarm 1T. and turn its members
over to the Mexicans, for such treat

Guerrilla warfare such as is evidently
proposed by Orozco is a war against
humanity; those conducting it are enc

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The week has shown the effect Of the
summer lethargy In having no leading
event TO report, but the steady activ-
ity and strength of business is repro
sented' fairly in the increase of $40
per cent In the bank clearances, as
compared with the corresponding week
Of last year. These increases in oank
clearances have been characteristic OF
the spring and early summer, and have
been large right along.
There is q good deal Of activity in
reclamation projects, and the week saw
the celebration Of the penetration OF
the main range of mountains by means
Of the Strawberry tunnel, which will
bring the waters Of Strawberry Creek
from east Of the main ridge into Span
ish Fork canyon, one of the great rec
lamation projects Of the Government,
and the only one in Utah. When fully
completed, and the water turned into
the channel from the reservoir In
Strawberry Valley, somo 10000 acres
Of new land In Utah county will be
put under cultivation.
In the city, unusual activity has
been noted among the real estate men,
dealers being all busy and in good
spirits over the market and the outlook
for the future. A large number Of
sales were reported, although mono Of
great magnitude. Some big PROPOSE
tions are under consideration, that are
expected to turn out we'll in the near
future.
Building activity has continued un-
abated, the Walker skyscraper being
finished as far as the outside is con
cerned, and the Hotel Utah annex well
forwarded. Mr.. P. j. Moran, the con
tractor for building the half million
dollar high school on the East bonch,
and also the administration building
Of the University, is pushing his pre-
liminary work with diligence and
speed. Actual work upon the $2,500,-
600 new State capitol is expected to
begin shortly. The construction of
business blocks is getting on well, and
a very large number of dwelling
houses, from flats and apartments to
pretentious dwellings, modest cottages
and bungalows, is active in all parts
Of the city.
The merchants report special sales
with good results, and with much cash
paid in the purchases.
During the week number Of mining
men went from the city to Phoebe to
witness the driving Of the golden spike
in the Prince Consolidated Company IS
for the great prospects Of that region
A large contingent Of Elks left the
city during the week for Portland, and

have in the main been favorable. The
reports from the crops are encouraging,
aud the wheat prices have gone down
with the news.
The iron and steel industry sends en-
couraging reports Of large business and
heavy orders with rising prices.
Prospects for business are even better
than actual current conditions, and the
characteristic feature from the leading
trade and industrial sections of tho
country is expanding and deepening
optimism.
The London wool auction reports ac-
tive demand with hardening prices,
and with buying for the American
market. In this country the wool
prices remains firm and steady.
There has been n large increase IN
the sale Of municipal bonds in the
United States thus far this year, the
total of these sales reaching s333,709,'
325, against $297 ,76o,o79 for the cor
responding time last year. This means
that cities arc putting more capital
into municipal improvements, and ii
also means that business and money
conditions are getting better than they
have been. The following table shows

bonds, including municipals for phe
