SOUTHERN PLANNING
LARGE BOND ISSUE
TO TAKE CARE OF IT'S NEEDS FOR
SOME TIME TO COME SECURED
BY BLANKET MORTGAGE.

1t Is announced IN New York that
the Southern railway company is con-
sidering plans for large issue of
bonds secured by a blanket mortgage
to take care OF it's needs for an in
definite period and to provide. among
other things for continuing its
double tracking work, which Is al
ready we'll advanced, with much of
the second track in operation. The
total amount OF the proposed issue Is
not stated, but a hint OF what II may
reach Is given in the remark that the
present total mortgage bonded and
secured debt of the company Is very
nearly $2Sa. 100000. II IS further
said that the new bonds, which are
not to be marketed for several
months, will not have fixed rate of
interest for the entire issue. but that
the interest on any amount of the
total offered for sale at any time will
be set at such a figure to best meet
conditions prevailing In the bond mar
ket at that time.
In connection with this announce
ment 1t is stated that the Southern
railway has outstanding less than
ment and general mortgage bonds,
$3.50, 900 OF It's 4 per cent develop
the total authorized issue of which ID
5000. 100000. and In the present con-
dition OF the money market these
bonds are quoted at from 10 TO 20
points below their face value. The
company also has outstanding about
SCI 900. 900 OF its first consolidated
mortgage per cent bonds. the total
authorized issue OF which Is $40, 600,
900, 1t having sold recently about
$2,000,0 900. 1t ts expected that none
Of the proposed new bonds will be
offered for sale until nearly the end
OF this year or in the early part OF
1914.
1t Is observed In connection with
this contemplated issue by the South
ern railway that the New York Gem
trail system, the Burlington system
and the Great Northern have each
adopted the plan OF putting all their
bonded obligations under one large
mortgage, and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul railway is proposing
10 do the same thing.

MILFORD WILL HAVE
HIGH CLASS HOTEL
Travellers to Metropolis of
Southern Utah Will Soon
Find the Very Best.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
MILFORD. May 3.-During the past
six months commercial travellers and
others desirous of remaining over night
in Milford have experienced much diff
ficulty in obtaining lodgings. This
congestion will soon be relieved with
the completion Of the new Atkins hotel.
The Atkins family has been a big fac
tor in the development Of the desert
metropolis both in mercantile and ho.
tel business.
The Atkins hotel has been favorite
with the commercial men for several
years, and the opening announcement
of Mrs. Atkins S lone-promiscd new
house will come as a pleasant surprise.
The Atkins have firm belief in the
future greatness of southern Utah. This
faith is particularly strong regarding
that section centered by Milford. The
reclamation projects now under way to
redeem the surrounding desert brings
many visitors. The demand thus ere
ated for strictly up-to-date hostolry
will be met with one Of the best ho
tells to be found in the west.
The new building is being erected
adjoining the old hotel. which will be
remodeled into an annex, This portion
contains thirty-six bedrooms. The new
addition will have in all forty rooms,
of which twenty~one are sleeping
apartments There will be sample
rooms and several individual baths.
The foyer of the new place will be
decorated with invisible lights empan-
eled at intervals along the wall. The
panels and furniture here will be in
oak and walnut, 1t will undoubtedly
be one Of the "niftiest' hotel lobbies
IN Utah. Directly above the lobby on
the second floor will be situated the
writing room. This will be fitted with
ten desks in black walnut, and the walls
hing with fancy trappings. 1t also will
be lighted invisibly through a colored
pane half the size of the ceiling.
The dining room Is Mrs. Atkins's
particular care. The present large floor
space will be enlarged and four tables
added. The walls will be tinted and
the ceiling decorated. Determined to
be not outdone by the most metropoli-
tan house, an orchestra pit is provided.
Before the place is ready an entire
new set of furniture will replace the
old. The new furnishings. now in tran.
sit. will be on the same elaborate scale
As the building. No expense is being
spared to make this the hotel de luxe
of southern Utah. Work is rapidly pro.
crossing and June is set as the date
of occupancy.
