Salt Lake is rapidly coming into

that in tho next few years we shall

business property has exceeded
even that increase. The develop

the extension of tho residence sec

than remarkable when general con-

five and six years are considered

Activity Beneficial.

The announcement by the Utah
Copper company officials that their
mills sre to be enlarged and the
entire workings Of mine and mills

mendous forces at work in this d.
rection. Utah could not escape the
beneficial results Of such activity
IF it wanted to. Some Of the big
gest mining and industrial projects
the west has known IN forty years
are ccntering in Utah and Salt
Lake today.
The hundreds OF thousands Of
dollars that have gone into the i'm
provement of real estate in the city
is returning tenfold value. The
coinino Of the Moffat road will
give Salt Lake very Great i'm
petus. The development of the coal
fields in the south~central part Of
the state is circulating thousands
of dollars to the benefit Of the
state as whole. The coal field
development has called for some Of
the most important railroad con-
stTuction work the state has known
in n long time. and when this is
completed and the new lines rup-
ming TO capacity all Utah will real
Ize the tremendou headwav that
has been made. The established
coal mine companies are expending
heavy Sums in improvements and

The financial, industrial, COM

era of prosperity and industrial
achievement is at hand that will
far outstrip all that has gone be-

LAND OFFICE WILL
BE

Fargo's land office is probably
nearing the close of it's existence
according to an advice from Gen
eral Land Commissioners bennett
at Washington, this morning,
which cautions Register Schuy-
Ter and Receiver Jordan not to
near any reports or contests after.
June 80 this year.
Mr.. Schuyler and MIR. Jordan.
received a telegram from Mr..
bennett this morning which
read: (.
"Set no reports or contests for
hearing before you afte June 80.
next. (Signed) erred bennett,
commissioner"
The Interpretation Of this mes
sage is that the Fargo land Of
flee is to be closed on that date
and the remaining territory still
within the Fargo district will be
turned over to one Of the other
districts, either Bismarck or Dew
lis Lake.
There only remains about 1900
acres of land yet in the Fargo
district, and a large share Of that
is unattractive. 1t is. probable
this land will be attached to the
Bismarck district, though it is
understood that an effort may be
made by some of the state dem
ocrats to have the Fargo district
included in the Devils Lake Of
lfice so as to prolong the life OF
that district.
However, the, success Of such
a scheme is only problematical
and it is generally believed that
the Bismarck office will get the
left. over townships Of the Fargo
district.

Summers, who is q member Of
congress, said that as the neces-
sites of the people change, the
scope of government must change
and that the matter of farm cred
it's was a legitimate concern OF
the national government. The
speaker said that with the rush
from the farms to the cities
which followed the Introduction Of
rapid transit the margin between
farm production and general con-
sumption had become dangerously
narrow. The high prices of to-
day are the sinister shadow OF
coming hunger cast upon the land
he asserted. There is no system
of carrying over the surplus OF
bountiful years to care for the
lean years.
"Back to the FARM" is the
cry, said the speaker. "The
men raised in the city will not
return to the country under ex-
listing conditions. l know there
are individual exceptions, but
these exceptions are very much
prone to write articles for the
magazines as soon AS they get
back to the soil, and for the most
part they return to the city in a
few years."
The speaker pointed out that a
16,OOO,O 900 bale cotton crop in 1911
crop in the previous year. They
brought less than a 12,OOO,OOO
bale crop in the revious year. The
corn crop of 1912 was much lar
ger than that of 1911, he said,
but it brought the farmer $780,
OOO,O 600 less.
"Wat should the government
he inquired. Clearly it
should make a definite, start at
the right lace in the right way,
to give it's aid to the correction
of this situation, which so vital
ly concerns every man, woman
and child of it's citizenship. In
order to create a marketing bur-
reau, clothe it with almost unlim-
tied discretion, supply it with
adequate funds, and place upon
it the responsibility Of working
out and helping to apply such
methods Of sale and distribution
of farm products as would insure
to producers reasonable prices
and remunerative pieces, and to
the nation an adequate food sup
ply, and l may add that the in
dividual citizens, the civic and
business organizations Of a coun-
try must help in this great work.
It is a work for the nation; it
must be a work by the nation"
Thompson discussed reasons
why the farmers are not effect
lively organized, declaring that
the greatest reason was that they
were unwilling to obtain enough
money to obtain able managers.
Also it is not enough that they
should put their money into an
organization, they must put them
selves into it.
"Many Of the farmers organ
izations of the northwest were
started by certain outside inter-
ests for the sake Of their own
pecuniary gain," he asserted.
Certain manufacturing compan-
les have organized local creamery
companies in order to sell cream
separators, or perhaps in order to
dispose Of creamery outfits, at
from $500 to $1,000 in excess Of
the market price. We may rest
assured that whoever does the
organizing will be apt to look
after the interests of the organ
izing body rather than to be es-
pecially concerned in adopting
the organization to its own pur.

III, Letter a.

The letter G furnishes Us q curious
bit Of orientalism. Its Hebrew name
is glmel-camel-from the resemblance
of the Hebrew character to the head
and neck Of that animal. The charac-
ter was thus almost certainly derived
from a picture Of that animal, which.
reduced to a hieroglyphic and then sim
plifed, still distinctly indicates the
shape of the head and neck of the beast
Of burden familiar to every dweller in

All Farmers Should
Finance Themselves
Editor Advanced New Ideas
Business Men Should Co
operate with Them.

. Chicago, April 22.-Among the
Speakers at the national confer
ence Of marketing and farm cred
it's were financiers, educators and
editors. One of these was a pa
per prepared by Herbert Myrick
Of Springfield, Mass, pesident of
several weekly papers especially
interesting to farmers.
This paper on Comparative FL
nance, which was read for him
declared that organized co-opera-
ton enables the farmers to fl
nance themselves and improve dis
tribution, reform marketing and
promote the general welfare.
He declared American farmers
unitedly demand that whatever
currency reform congress enacts,
it shall provide facilities for fl
nancing farms equal to those pro-
vided for the large business in
terests. He hopes that such re-
form shall encourage the coop
Grafton Of savings credits, loans
by people Of limited wealth as we
as farmers and small tradesmen.
That this shall not be done by
special privilege, but by the re-
active equality Of opportunity in
banking and exchange for perso-
nal mortgage savings and loans
whereby the farmers and COM
mon people may. co-operat sue
~cessfully to finance themselves
under either the federal or state
laws or both, is his desire.

urged the conservation of the soil.

lating plans for financing farm

Pres. Moberly remarked that

ness men.
wisconsin farmers make very
successful business men," inter-
jected McKerrow.
The Arkansasan averred that,
compared with the business men
of the cities, the farmer cannot
organize, finance and manage a
cooperative scheme. Generally,
he said, they have not the capt.
tai, business ability and informa-
ton required. He mentioned a
number of farmers organizations
which had failed. The Wiscon-
sin man again arose.
"The farmers Of my state" be
declared, mot only can, but have
organized many permanently
successful companies. They do
business like any city firm" He
cited the organizations Of dairy
and fruit men as examples.
Moberly said there was a vast
difference between handling cot
ton and handling dairy products,
owing to the immense difficulty
OF grading cotton. The time
of production and the fact that
half the cotton crop is marketed
within a period Of three months
were other difficulties, he said,
while dairy products reach the
market in well regulated quanti-
ties throughout the year. In
addition the cotton growers have
no storage facilities. Co-opera.
tive warehouses have failed. Mo.

kansas was doing valuable work
