SITUATION PLEASING
TO BUSINESS MEN
Bankers and Merchants EN-
phasize Fact That February
Was Good Month.

According to reports OF bankers and
business men Of the city, the last week
again emphasized tho fact that Febru-
ary is not the "dullest month Of the
year. at least not this year. Consid-
| oring the conditions that generally en-
ist at this timo Of the year, and which
have the effect Of giving general bnsi-
ness sort Of an "of" color, finance and
trade during the last week was moro
than satisfactory, cay merchants and
bankers.
Inclement weather and one holiday
apparently came and went without
leaving any noticeably retarding Of
feets. The demand for money contin-
largely for industrial improvements
and land and irrigation projects out
Of town, although tho proportion Of in
d1vldual and corporate loans in the city
was gratifying.
Considerable confidence has been i'm
parted to business circles by virtue Of
tho healthy snowfall which promises
an adequate supply of water. The su-
gar companies are making contracts
with the farmers for beets, and arc 60
ing ahead with little fear that the new
ously cripple the industry by tariff re-
vision.
The clearing house figures for the
last few weeks have aroused some com
ment in the local business world on ac-
count OF their apparent decrease from
last year corresponding figures How
ever, Manager Nicholson Of the Clear
ing House association calls attention
TO the fact that there are three banks
less in the association this year, and
that tho former practice of carrying
over large balances to appear from day
to day as genuine exchanges has been
two changes, the clearing house figures
show healthy increase over those Of
the preceding year at this time, while
the increase in deposits itself testihes
Of increased business in nearly all
channels.
Local securities werc irregular dur
ing the week, although several large
blocks Of stock in large corporations
changed hands at increased figures.
Utah"1daho sugar stock dropped down
10 cents to $S 60, at which price sew
eral large blocks were sold. Interest
rates remain virtually unchanged. Col.
lections are reported steady and good.
Eastern reports are to the effect that
In volume of distribution business con-
tinues on very liberal scale, although
the spirit Of conservatism that has
prevailed for SO long q time still con-
tinues. There appears to be q notice
able absence Of speculative activity,
but the principle trades and industries
show steady expansion
Heavy railroad purchases Of equip
ment continue to constitute the chief
features of the iron and steel indus
tries. The retail demand for the lead
ing textiles displays activity, and both
manufacturers and distributors report
seasonable business The clothing strike
and the tariff uncertainty, however,
naturally make for conservatism.

NEGLECTED HENS
SAFELY HOUSED
Humane Officer Summons Police
Assistance, to Find His
"Quarry" Gone.

Armed with gunnysacks and with
their pockets filled with corn, Humane
Officer John Houk, Patrolmen Crosby
and Wiley and Chauffeur William
Hooper went on still hunt for chick
ems yesterday afternoon.
Swiftly the automobile bearing the
hunters swept in hawl-like descent to
tho residence Of a citizen living on
South Main street. In vain the hunters
called clucked and scattered corn. Not
chicken was to be found, where two
hours before a large, neglected flock
had been seen by Officer Houk, whose
ire had been aroused by the sight OF
their frozen combs and feet and, gem
eral appearance Of sad neglect.
HYou had better fix warm place
for those chickens or dispose Of them, -
advised Officer Houk, speaking to the
owner of the chickens.
"I guess I'n suit myself about
that" returned tho citizen.
elf you don't / will have to take
care Of them for you, take you to court
and hold the chickens as evidence of
cruelty said the officer.
eco ahead and do your darndest, -
said the citizen.
1t was then that Mr.. Houk returned
to police headquarters, secured the
help of the two policemen and the
chauffeur and returned.
The vain quest of the searchers was
finally interrupted by young man who
explained that he was son OF the al.
legged obstreperous chicken neglecting
citizen, and that all the chickens had
been caught and removed from the
premises TO the home of the son, where
they had been placed in a warm coop.
The search was abandoned, but Mr..
Houk got grim satisfaction out of the
fact that he bad enforced proper care
of the bedraggled flock Of hens.

HEALTH IMPROVED

California; Will Assume
Reins Tomorrow.

Harper j.. Dininny, city attorney, is
back from California whittier he went
two months ago in quest Of health. He
arrived Friday afternoon, accompanied
by Mrs. Dininny, and he will assume
charge of the city's law department
again Monday morning.
To all appearances, Mr.; Dininny
improved in health and declares he
feels younger and stronger. He went
to San Francisco during the Christmas
holidays and consulted with special
lists concerning his condition. He had
intended to return sooner, but the die
tum Of the doctors called for the rest
cure, Accordingly Mr.. Dininny went
south to Los Angeles and basked In the
sunshine.
"It's some colder here than in Los
Angeles, but it's good to get back
again anyway" Mr.. Dininny said yes
terday.
Many matters Of importance have
arisen In the city's law department dur
ing Mr.. Dininny's absence such as the
rooming house litigation and the draft,
ing of several new ordinances. Mr..
Dininny will spend the next several
days .acquainting himself with these
matters.
Since Mr.. Dininnv left the city has
employed w. II. Folland as q member
of the law department to aid in the
rooming house cases. Now that the
head Of the department is back, it is
understood the city commissioners will
effect a sort of reorganization of the
law department. Aaron Meyers, who
has had charge of the legal affairs for
the past two months, is to be made
special land and water attorney and
Mr.. Folland is to step into Meyers IS
shoes as assistant city attorney.

CARBON COUNTY SCENE
Red-hot Hearing Is Had Be
fore the Senate Commit
tee on Judiciary.
CARBON COUNTY SCENE

Charging that the Magnolia Liquor
company is trying to secure monop-
oily on the liquor business Of Carbon
county Stanley Price, representing tho
citizens of Carbon county, appeared
before the senate committee on ju.
dietary yesterday to urge the passage
Of bill providing that one-third of
those who vote for the Incorporation
Of a town be freeholders. Mark P.
BraA'ett and Judge Ferdinand Erick-
son, ettorneys for the Utah Fuel COM
pany, appeared in opposition to the
bill. AS result there were charges
and counter charges and the whole
trouble in Carbon county was reopened
and threshed out.
Not long ago an innocent-appearing
bill was Introduced in the senate by
G. A. Iverson Of Carbon, permitting tho
incorporation of q town on petition Of
100 residents It was charged yester-
day that this bill was in the interest
Of the Utah Fuel company; to permit
the incorporation OF Sunnysi6e and
Castle Gate. Mr. Price charged that
NJ. Braffett had boasted that he would
have supnyside and Castle Gate incor-
porated in order that they might vote
rwet" at the coming liquor election
and that he would see 10 it that the
rest Of the county went "dry,' giving
these two towns g monopoly on the
LIQUOR traffic Of the entire county.

Owned by Company.

Every foot of ground, every store
and saloon in these two towns, Mr..
Price asserted was completely owned
by the Utah Fuel company, At his re-
quest the Judiciary committee intro
duced bill increasing the number Of
residents necessary for incorporation
TO 800 one-third Of whom must be free
holders. This would, Of course, pre-
vent the incorporation Of these two
towns, since there are few If any free
holders other than the fuel companies
in the two towns.
Judge Erickson end Mr. Braffett
vigorously opposed the contentious OF
Mr.. Price. They said that the county
commissioners had not treated the
Utah Fuel company kindly. They said
the county commissioners had issued
dives near the edge OF the Utah Fuel
company s property where the miners
would spend all of their earnings
They denied all thought Of securing a
monopoly on the liquor business, say
ing that their only intent was in pro-
tecting their employees from the vi
cious dives.
This opened the way for an argu-
ment on the scandals Of official cir
cles in Carbon county. It was assert
ed that until the present time the Utah
Fuel company had controlled all Of
the county officers of Carbon county,
with the result that graft was ram
pant and the interests Of the company
were protected to the detriment Of the
public.
After the argument had continued
most of the forenoon, Senator Behner
x. Smith Of Salt Lake, chairman of the
judiciary, asked Mr.. Price If there were
no steam laundry in Carbon county to
which the people Of that county might
send their soiled linen. Mr.. Price said
one was badly needed. He suggested
the necessity Of legislative investi-
CATION into official conditions of that
county.

pertaining TO the incorporation Of

wants Shows Intelligence.

Many OF the large ants are slave
holders, and curiously enough, the
slaves are almost black! When q
colony Of ants requires slaves a reg
ular army is formed, skirmishers are
thrown out and scouts are sent ahead
to discover a nest Of black ants and
look over the ground. The invading
army is composed entirely Of warrior
ants, with powerful jaws, quite DIFF.
ferent from the common workers.
When the nest Of the intended VIC
Tins is reached q fierce battle &c once
takes place and many are killed and
wounded OF both sides. The mora
powerful invaders are always victoff-
GUS, however. and entering the nest
Of the vanquished blacks, they rob %
of eggs and pupas, which they carry
Of to slavery In their own home. The
returning yictors are welcomed npom
their arrival with various manifestnr
lions Of JOY. and the young of tho
defeated foes are taken within and
carefully tended until fully grown.
