BUSINESS AND TRADE.

We spoke yesterday of tho optimistic
interviews on business conditions IN all
this region given by President William
a. Clark of the Salt Lake Route and
Mr.. Lewis j. Spence, director Of trut-
fic of the Hartman lines To this we
are able TO add today the very optl-
mistic statement of bank clearances In
this city showing an increase in these
the past week OF $40 per cent as COM
pared with the clearances of the cor
responding week last year. This is q
phenomenal advance which speaks in
vigorous tones of the progressive CON
dltlons Of business in the city.
Naturally under these figures, the
trade of the week is reported as strong
and satisfactory Merchants view the
situation and the outlook with opti'
mism, and expect that this month will
prove the banner month OF the sum-
mer season. Bargain sales continue,
cash sales are increased, and colleo-
tions improve.
There is an immense amount Of
homo building going on, to be seen in
nil parts Of the city. P, j. Moran, con.
tractor for the new high school, is NOV
ing energctically. Tho second unit Of
the Jordan River power plant of the
Utah Light and Railway Company will
be practically finished so far as the
walls and smokestack arc concerned, at
the end Of the present week. The l..
D. S, hospital wing is progressing sat
isfactorily and as rapidly as possible.
The preliminaries to begin the actual
construction of tho University admin
stration building are being rapidly dis
posed of. The annex to the Utah hotel
and the Walker skyscraper are pro-
gressively in evidence all the time.
The real estate dealers report a good
market, with desirable conditions
Sales are easily negotiated, and there
is a growing opinion that rock bottom
in Salt Lake realty purchases was
reached some time ago, and that n
steady rise is due and is, in fact, COM
ing on.
In railroad lines, the big boost ex
cursion to st. Thomas, Nevada, to cele-
brate the opening of the branch line
by many Salt Lakers. The visit of
l.. j. Spence, director Of traffic Of the
Hartman lines, was encouraging, and
his optimistic views were gladly heard
He left on Friday for the Northwest,
accompanied by j. A. Reeves and D. e.
Burley. Oregon Short Line officials

trip.

the preiudicisl conditions righted, but
they must condemn the means taken by

A reduction by fifteen and one-half
million pounds during the month of
May in the domestic copper surplus was
one of the most striking features Of the
past week in mining, and Of equal
prominence was the fact that electro"
lytic copper sold for as high as 17$s
cents per pound. On June /, 1912, the
domestic supplies Of visible copper
measured only 49,615,643 pounds, and
the world s visible supplies totaled
only 149 996,763 pounds, the lowest in
authentic history; for it is only during
recent years that the American Cop
per Producers Association has been in
existence. Earnings Of the copper
producers are greatly increased by the
advancing metal market, but the ad-
vance has been too sudden to be en-
tirely pleasing even TO them.

Report of Inspection of Vermont
Highways.

Paul D. Sargent, assistant director
of the U. S. department of public
roads, makes the following report:
Upon invitation of Chas. W. Gates,
state highway commissioner, to make
a thorough inspection of the roads Of
Vermont for the purpose OF recon-
mending what legislation, If any, was
needed to strengthen the highway
work in this state, | spent the entire
time from the evening OF August
second until noon August ninth in the
state of Vermont.
During this time about $40 miles of
road - mostly selected highways -
were covered Practically all natural
condi tons were found that would be
met in any and every part Of the
country. The selected roads which
AVE not been improved, except by the
| system of maintenance IN vogue,
appear to me to be rather narrow.
"Evidence of good practical improve
| ment was seen, however, at frequent
intervals, especially on the roads
| designed as trunk line roads on the
| map just published by the state high
way department and frequently on
others of the selected highways. These
| improvements consist of widening the
road, reducing grades and surfaclng
| with gravel. Much Of the widening
| has been done at sharp curves, and has
necessita ted the blasting out of large
amounts of ledge. In every instance
the imL rovement appears to me to
| have been of a decidedly practical and
valuable nature. All improvements
have been carried out as far as
| could see with thorough provisions for
drainage. with the possible exception
| that a few old stone culvertS have
been left IN the work and heightened
to meet the additional width of road,
which in the future may give some
| trouble. This criticism is based on
a cursory examination of only few
culverts. With the limited funds
| available for most Of these jobs it may
be good judgment to leave in the work
culverts of this character, which appear
to have ten or fifteen years of service.
another criticism which | woulc
make of the improved roads is that
they have been built with too sharp &
crown; this ends to confine trave
strictly to the center Of the road anC
in turn gives the road, a few years
after improvement, the appearance OF
being much narrower than it really is
On account of the fact that trave
holds to the crown of the road. the
shoulders quickly grass over, so thai
on many sections of improved rOaC
there is only about ten feet of travel
led track showing between the grass
shoulders. I realize that the SHARP
crown has been used on account Of
the fact that practically none of the
roads are finished by the use of rollers
and the high crown allows for the
natural settlement and compacting by
travel of the material used in grading
the roads as we'll as the gravel USED il
surfacing them. A fatter.s crown
would distribute the travel over
wider surface and in consequence caus'
the roads to have wider appearance
and to wear down more uniformly

A Word to Thrifty Boys
and Girls

Do you know that thrift is
largely a matter of habit?
Do you know that if you COM
mence saving your loose change,
the habit will grow upon you until
it will be a greater pleasure to
save your money than to spend it
for things you do not need?
The Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company accepts
deposits of any size-no deposit is
too small, no deposit is too large.
The following table shows the
amount you will have at the end of
one to twenty-five years, if you de-
post $500 each month, computing
interest at 4 per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, as is done
by the HYDE Park Savings Bank -
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1912-10-16

Note at the end of Is years your
deposits will amount to $500, but
with interest at 4 per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, the amount
to your credit at that time will be
S256o.64. How many boys spend
fooIishly, needlessly and oftentimes
for something that is worse than
useless, $500 per month? Think
it over and see if you cannot
bring yourself to believe that you
will enjoy saving better than
spending and thereby become a
capitalist.
1t is absolutely safe to send your
money by mail to the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, either by postal or
express money order, personal or
bank check, express or registered
letter. In the nearly "a years of
it's existence not a dollar sent by
mail to this bank has been lost.
Remember too that during its
entire existence this bank has
never lost a dollar by poor note
and does not, in the judgment Of
its Directors, today own a single
dollar of poor or doubtful assets
It's managers are thoroughly con
sentative bankers, men who never
speculate, never deal with Wal
Street, and the bank does not owl
dollar Of paper paying more thar
six per cent interest. Safety
rather than the higher rates 0
interest obtainable in far-aWa,
places, is the universal rule of thl
bank.
