BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY.

From the Beloit, Wis, Free Press, Sep
TENDER II, 1912:
Bank deposits are a sure indicator
of prosperity in a city, and on this
point Beloit banks show a steady in
crease and this city on this o
most favorably with the
outside world. Total deposits in the
four banks according TO the current
statements aggregate $4,34S,47S.46, of
which $3.50, 371.14 represents the saw
ings of the people. Rockford, with
three times the population. has little
more than double the amount Of money
on deposit in her seven banks. Figur-
ing Beloit's population at 11S, 900, which
is probably conservative, the per CAPT
ia deposits in the banks amount to
s2.41h, which is a pretty good showing.

PROSPERITY lessons CRIME
Secret Service Chief Says That with

From the Buffalo, n. Y, INQUIRER:

From the Buffalo, N. Y, Inquirer:
The department Of agriculture in
its latest announcement reports bum.
per crops Of corn, white potatoes,
spring wheat, oats, rye and buck
wheat.
Business agencies report booming
iron and steel trade, strong demand
for cash and decrease in the number
of commercial failures.
The most novel sign Of prosperity,
however, is recorded by Chief John
e. Wilkie of the United States secret
service. whenever work is plentiful,
and employment easily obtainable,'
says Chief Wilkie, "crime is less and
this rule, which has been demon
strated by years of experience, ap-
plies as much to counterfeiting as to
other offenses against the law"
AS a general proposition easy times
are the times freest of crime, indicat-
ing that distress is the cause Of much
law breaking.

A FAILURE IN COLORADO
Why the Roosevelt Movement Has
Failed to MaterisIize.

"The Roosevelt movement is a fail
ure in Colorado" said David Heaton
of Salida, Colo, during a recent visit
to Chicago, while discussing the po-
litical situation in his state. He is
president and general manager of the
Federal Consolidated Monumental
Granite company, and is also identi-
fed with large mining interests.
1--WE are tired of industrial and po-
litical pyrotechnics in Colorado" he
continued. 1--WE have been through
all sorts of disturbances in our state.
We have seen what were called 'dy-
Mantle days We have had our wild
and woody experiences and we have
known what it is to deal with strikes
and strikers. Mr.. Roosevelt is now a
dangerous type of political striker, do.
ing nothing but raising trouble. We
do not want a man of his tempera-
ment in the White House. We prefer
to support President Taft"

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Dun's Trade Report Gives Encourage
ment for All Lines Of Business.

From the Freeport, Ill, Standard, Sept.
II, 1912:
Dun's trade report for the past
week gives encouragement for all
lines of business, crops and manufac-
turing enterprises. In part the re-
port says:
Continuous advance in trade activ-
tiles is the tenor of the reports from
the principal manufacturing and dis
tributing centers last week. The ad-
vance is both in actual volume Of
transactions and in that confidence
which is the basis Of healthy business.
The big August bank hearings are
a development of present activity and
buoyancy. C%learings in August gain
ed 4.6 per cent over last yesr, while
during this week they increased 1915
per cent over 1911 and 17.6 per cent
over 1910. The evidence of these
c%learings is confirmed by the current
railroad gross earnings, which show
a gain of 6.8 per cent over 1911.
Rates Of money are hardening in all
parts of the world, a plain response
to the greater movements of trade
and m and the bigger de-
mands of new enterprises. The in
creased confidence in the financial
markets is illustrated by the fact
that the August output of ley Sc
curities and shorter term notes in this
country was $92,O 00, 900 greater thar
a year ago. The remarkable consump-
ton of iron and copper products con
tinues to the point of actual capacity
and all the principal industries show
satisfactory activity.

Henry Clews, the New York inan-
cial expert, says in his weekly letter
that business conditions are good,
especially in the west, but he points
that they may become unsettled by po-
litical developments.
There were good times before the
last Democratic administration, but
they soon became bad times. The
country does not want history to re-
peat itself.

Long En- Route from Syria to owo.so,

In May last Abdallah Bofysil of this
city, purchased tickets for his wife and
two children to come from Beirut, Sr
ria Mrs. Bofysil in due time left her
home some distance from Beirut to take
the steamer for New York, but through
a misunderstanding arrived too late Go
embark. Returning home again she
waited some time and again made the
journey to Beirut, this time to learn
that her tickets were not acceptable TO
the company from which they were pur
chased on account of the age of the
childred and for the second time tnc
steamer sailed without her. The tick'
cts were then exchanged with another
line for tickets to New York City, and
Mrs. Bofysil sailed from Beirut for
Marseille, France, Oct. 18th, arriving
at the latter place Nov. 7th, with
scarcely any money left as she had been
compelled to pay an additional sum for
the tickets for the children. AS she
did not have sufficient funds to pay for
the railroad tickets from New York to
Owosso she was compelled to remain in
Marseille until funds could be procured
from her husbond in this city. On re-
ceipt of letter stating the situation
funds were cabled Nov. Goth to meet
her needs but through some misunders
standing as to the address and failure
to make proper Identification the money
was not paid to her until Jan. 23d. In
the meantime the children were taken
sick, one with smallpox and the other
with measles and both were taken tc
the municipal hospital. On receipt Of o
second letter, written by the proprie'
tors of the hotel at which she was stay.
ing, saying that her money was used up
and asking for further remittance,
her friends in this city became suspi
cious that she was being detained and
against her will and an appeal was
made through Congressman Fordney 30
the State Department to have the CON
sui. general at Marseille investigate the
case and in reply the consul wrote un-
der date of Feb. 1st that the facts az
stated above were true. Before this
answer was received, r. X Bofysil o
cousin os the woman, arranged with the
American Express Co to pay the need
ed funds to Mrs. Bofysil and to act with
the Consul. General in starting her for
New York, and word was received
Monday that she sailed on Saturday
last. Without further delays or mishars
the party should arrive in Owosso tie
latter part of next week The anxiety
during this long delay has told serious
ly on the husband, and the added ex-
pense has about equslled the first cost
OF the tickets. There will be joyous
reunion in the Syrian colony in this city
when Mrs. Bofysil and her children
finally reach Owosso.

THE COUNTRY SNOW BOUND
Michigan Hard Hit-Greatest Storm
Owcssoites Can Recall Trains
Practic ally all Cancelled.


Beginning Tuesday night storm
which will 60 down in history as
climax to a record breaking winter
struck Owosso and this morning is still
continuing, The snow fall Wednesday
became heavier as the day advanced so
that by the middle of the afternoon 1T
was almost impossible to get about at
all and by the time the stores were
closed many of the employees found
that they could not reach home on ac-
count of the drift Of the snow both over
the roads and sidewalks. Hacks were
called and the teams used until the
liverymen declined to take further
chances on iDjuring the horses, nearly
hundred calls being refused. BY Thurs.
day morning snow was piled up IN
many places about the city from two
to six feet high on the walks, while the
roads were almost impassable; the tele-
phone lines were also partially oat of
commission, service on both the steam
and electric lines was abandoned, the
schools were closed and business gen
orally was at a standstill all day. Seven
of the eight rural carriers were able 70
complete their trips Tuesday, w. Il.
Mccormick being snowtound north Of
Burton and WAS not able to return 70
the city until Thursday afternoon,
L..
Trunk track. The eleVric car for
Lansing leaving at O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon was stalled about three miles
south Of the city and with its passen-
gers remained there until Thursda,
noon when it ran back to Owusso aud
after a short stay here started out
again. At 9:30 this morning the car
had reached the Clayton Thonas iarin
five and half miles south of the Guy
Thursday only one passenger train Oh
the Michigan Central passed through
the city, and it was four hours in COM
ing from Bay City; four trains on
both the Grand Trunk anu the Ann
Arbor have passed through the city,
most of them several hours behind
time and only part of them bringing
mail. No train north on the Mich gan
Central has reached the city since " ed
nesday afternoon. Ann Al Dor Off
cials expect to have all their trains run
ming today.
The storm seems to have swept over
almost the entire country, the souCh
west having snow accompanied by the
high winds, while in the east the wind
did great damage. The train service
throughout southern Michigan and the
adjoining states is demoralized.
