News of the Big Sale at
Keith-O'Brien'

During the progress of Keith
O'Brien's big removal sale the ques-
tion of Strengthening up stocks for next
day S selling becomes problem. owing
to the 9-hour law. which regulates the
working hours for women. Keith
. Brien company rigidly observes this
law. The employees Of the store work
only eight and half hours each day
and half hour longer on Saturday. AS
the store opens at $50. an extra half
hour could be utilized at the close Of
business. But following strenuous
day, employees are tired, and rather
than have them remain the manage
ment mas been opening the store during
rush days at 9:30, which gives an hour
| for the Encouragement of stocks, AS
work refreshed and full of enthusiasm.
The removal sale is attracting wide
spread attention. The exceedingly low
prices are source of general comment
ANXIOUS to open the new store with
new merchandise Keith o 'Brien Co.
is closing out stocks, approximatiug
$500, 900, regardless of cost.
Deliveries tell the story of the great
success Of the sale. On Thursday de-
any previous record-more than twice
as many packages were delivered as
we're sent out the day before last
Christmas.
Extra facilities are the means of
maintaining perfect service.
tho 'Brien company has aJways
been store Of character. Every ad-
vertised statement has reflected a. fact
Announcements, therefore, of lowered
prices to an unusual point on beautiful
merchandise have aroused the public
tIu housewives are straining every ef
fort to purchase supplies for future
need.
Another unusual feature is the pIac
Ing OF "A flat discount of Is per cent on
every article which does not carry a
greater price concession. No other
store in Salt Lake ever did this. MANY
or the articles which come under this
head are little staples which are soId on
close margin. The discount makes them
decIdedly attractive.
The purpose of the sale is to sell The
present stock. and when the buyers On
INTO tho markets to purchase comnlefe
new stocks. their increased purchases
VIII give them II great buying power
which ultimately means lower prices to
the customer "
For these reasons Keith 0 'Brien On -

HEAVY COLONIST TRAVEL
ON BOTH RAILROADS

Both the Southern Pacific and West
ern Pacific railroads are at present
handling a heavy eolonist travel,
which is increasing rapidly as the
final limit for the sale of tickets ap-
proaches, which is April Is.
Thus far the Western Pacific has
been able to handle the business with
its regular passenger trains, each west
bound carrying from IS to 125 tourists.
In order to accommodate its colonist
patronage, however, the Southern Pa
cifc has been compelled to run one or
two specials each week. Yesterday af-
ternoon, at 3 O'Clock, one passed
through Winnemucea, westbound, con-
sisting of six tourist ears.

HELEN GOULD ON
TOUR OF THE west

Miss Helen Gould arrived in Den
yer Thursday and will remain until
Sunday. In her party are Miss Anna
Palen, of New York, Miss Gould 8
cousin; Mr.. and Mrs. j. s. Tichenor, of
New York, the former being head of
the army and navy department of the
Y. M. G. A., Edward Shaw, Miss Steb-
bins, A. G.. Kneble, department secre-
tary Of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. and
j. f Moore, general secretary of the
Railroad Y M. C. A.
Miss Gould was met at the depot by
Charles Schlacks, vice-president of the
Western Pacific. From the depot Miss
Gould went straight to her hotel and
denied herself to newspaper men.
j. s. Tichenor acted as spokesman
for the party. He declared that the
press reports emanating from New
York that Miss Gould purposed to de-
vote her personal fortune of $20,000,-
900 to the rehabilitation of the Gould
lines, were absolutely without founda-
tion.
"Miss Gould is merely enjoying a
holiday trip to the Pacific coast he
said. Incidentally she is taking ad-
vantage Of the trip to study social
conditions among the employees of the
Gould lines, particularly in the Rail-
road Y. M. &. A. She has under con-
sideration many plans for the benefit
of the railroad employees.

LAST ENTERTAIN
MENT OF SERIES

The third and last series of enter
tainments under the auspices of the
Lyceum Bureau for the benefit of the
high school library fund will be given
at the Nixon opera house next We'd
nesday evening, March 81, at $3.50
o clock, when John B. Ratio will
present an interesting program of
character studies from life. Tickets
are now being sold by the scholars and
teachers Of the high school.
Mr.. John B. Ratio presents de-
cidedly unique and interesting enter
tainment. He impersonates in "make
up" many different characters in
everyday life. While his programs in
this line are miscellaneous, each num-
Der naturally and logically follows the
preceding one, combining to make a
grand panorama Of associated char
acters.
A novelty also in itself is the fact
that Mr. Ratio "makes up'' for each
Characterization before the audience.
He pencils in full view of the audi
ence, telling an appropriate story all
the while. Pencilling finished, he turns
quickly to the table mirror to adjust
his wig, facing about to surprise you
with the accuracy Of the representa-
tion.
Mr.. Ratio is psychologist He
studies his audiences before opening
his program to suit the tastes of those
before him. While most of his pro-
gram is of the humorous nature, here
and there he slips in a touch of the
darker side of life that never fails to
score heavily and bring handkerchiefs
to the eyes of many. He has swayed
many an audience from laughter to
tears.

E-y- ENFIvE POTASH DEPOSIT
DISCOVERED IN CALIFORNIA

IN Associated Press dispatch from
Wash ngton saws that enough potash
- spnply the United States probably
. T the next thirty years has been dis
cove ed by government scientists IN
Sea a-lcs lake, San Bernardno county
alifornia.
Estimates of field men of the geo
lcgic1l survey and the bureau of soils
is that the deposit may amount to -four
million tons, but authorities from data
in their possession consider that esti
mate conservative and believe that
more than ten million tons of potash
is available there.
The great value of the find is that
the product is in readily available
comercial form. Potash is known tc
exist in many places in the United
States. but in most of the eases nc
commercial means has been found tt
use it.
Hoyt s. Gale, representing the geo
logical survey. and +. f. Free, of the
hurean of soils. recently took samples
from six wells distributed over the
salt flats, analysis of which at the
Maekay School of Mines, Reno, reveal
ed its value.
The dried up lake has received the
drainage from the surrounding hills
for thousands of years, vast quaint
ties of dissolved minerals thus havino
concentrated in it.
Similar dried up lakes containing
valuable deposits, it is believed by
officials here, exist in the arid regions
and probably will be discovered.

LARGE NUMBER OF STAMPS
USED BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC

If you were an office boy and had to
lick an average of. 243,000 postage
stamps every month how long do you
suppose that your tongue would lasts
Do you think that one Office boy
could do itg The Southern Pacific
company uses this many stamps every
thirty days and while one boy in the
general Offices of the company at San
Francisco does not place all of them
on envelopes, he has to perforate the
initials on each stamp before they
are distributed from the treasurer 8
office.
In January of this year $4,000 one
cent stamps were used by the South
ern Pacific. During the same period
l173,000 twoeent stamps, 10000
threes, 10000 fours, $4,000 fves, 1000
eights and 5000 tens were used Jan
| uarv is an average month in the use of
stamps, say the clerks in the treas
urer' $ office. The Southern Pacific
uses approximately $4,000 worth of
postage stamps annually.
| Every time a two-cent stamp is
placed on letter the railroad must
haul one ton of freight three and one
| half miles. Think of it! All it costs
to haul ton of freight three and one
| half miles is two cents. The govern
nent charges the same rate to haul 2
letter that weighs one ounce. True. T.

letter more than three and one hale
| niles for two cents, but YOU have to
| ,av two cents to have it taken even a
| half mile.
All of the Southern Pacific stamps
are perforated with the company ini-
tials before they are distributed. This
IS done for the purpose of identified
tion. Upon different occasions the
Southern Pacific depots have been bur
glarized of several hundred dollars
worth Of postage stamps, but the bur-
glars have never been able to dispose
of them This perforation is done
with the permission of the govern
ment.

The measure is identical with that

that it does not adequately protect the
revenues
The reintroduction of the bill vetoed
by President Taft with the elimination
Of the senate amendments will be
used by the Democrats as the basis
for an arraignment of the tariff board.
In the report on the bill, which is
being written by Mr.. Underwood, an
board is failure and that its report
on wool was useless.
The bill differs from the bill vetoed
by the president in the duty assessed
