TOWN OF GRIDLEY is
GROWING RAPIDLY
George w. Tolley, Head Of Mormon
Church in the Town, Brings Glow
ing Report

George ". Tolley, president of the
branch Of the church Of the Latter-day
Saints at Gridley, Cal, was in Salt
Lake yesterday. Mr.. Tolley was called
from California by the illness of his
mother, who is in Morgan. He left for
Morgan yesterday. He had much TO say
of Gridley as an industrial and social
center, and he laid especial emphasis
on the friendly manner in which the
Mormon people there were considered
by their neighbors.
Gridley is q prosperous town in the
center OF an extremely fertile fruit and
farming country, according 10 Mr..
Tolley. Oranges and lemons are grown
there in abundance, and thousands of
acres of the adjoining lands are capable
of producing the finest rice in the world.
The town Is populated by about 1000
inhabitants, of which about 500 are
Mormons. Beside the Mormon church,
there are churches OF six other deuomi-
nations. The Mormon chapel will
seat approximately 1000 persons. The
best schools and social organizations are
there and the town Is gradually grow
ing s1nd taking prominence among the
progressive cities Of the state.

THOMAS AVID JOHNSON
NAME POSTMASTERS
This Patronage Taken Out of
Hands of National Com
mitteeman Wallace.

Postoffices will henceforth be dis
tributed In Utah by Mathonihah Thomas
and Tillman D. Johnson. the Democratic
candidates for congress at the election OF
1912. For some reason not made pub
lie, Postmaster General Burleson has
taken the postoffice patronage from Ma
tional Committeeman w. r. Wallace and
has given 1t to the congressional candi-
dates.
Had Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Johnson been
elected to congress they would have had
the distribution of this patronage. but
the selection of unsuccessful candloateS
as arbiters Of federal appointments is
somewhat unusual AS yet only the
postal appointments have been referred
to the congressional candidates, but 1t
is considered possible that they Will be
consulted also concerning other federal
appointments.
Some of the postoffice appointments in
the state have been made by the de-
partment on the recommendation Of the
national committeeman, but all OF the re-
cent recommendations have been held up.
Recently lists Of all applicants for posi-
tions Of postmasters throughout the state,
with their Endorsements, were sent here
from Washington to Mr.. Thomas and Mr..
johnson with the request that they desis-
nate candidates whom they favor for
these positions.
1t Is interesting to note that last
spring Tillman D. Johnson indorsed the
candidacy of S. s. Smith for postmaster
at Ogden, while the national committee
man recommended W. w. Browning for
the place. Browning was then named by
the department. Recent developments
would indicate that the department has
had a change of heart with reference to
the relative value OF the Endorsements Of
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Wallace.

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
ON EAST BENCH BUSY
Another Meeting Held at Which Re
ports Satisfactory to Membership
Are Submitted.

Last night the East Bench Improve"
ment league held meeting at the resi-
dence of Chairman l.. Bone, 6l3 Thlr-
teenth East street, to receive reports
Of standing committees.
One of the important reports was that
from the committee on streets and
sidewalks, which stated that an appro-
priation Of 1900 had been granted by
the city for curb and guttering exten-
sions as follows: Fourth South, from
Tenth to Thirteenth East; Fifth South,
Sixth South, from Eleventh TO Thir'
teenth East; Elizabeth street, from
Fifth to Seventh South; Douglas
avenue, from Third to Sixth South; |;
Thirteenth East, from Fifth to Sixth
South.
In the Arlington park matter the
committee reported that conferences
with Tho park commissioner had been
held, looking TO the Improvement and
Identification of that spot between
Eleventh and Twelfth East and Seventh
and Eighth South streets for the use of
residents of that vicinity. The commit
tee said that the prospects for realizing
this improvement were good.
Another committee is comforting with
tho department of public safety Of the
city TO have FIRE alarm boxes placed at
alternate corners in the district east OF
Ninth East street, between First and
Ninth South streets, so that it will be
unnecessary to 20 more than a block
in any direction TO turn in an alarm.
There was encouragement that this i'm.
provement also would be realized
There are now 120 members in the
league, and last nights meeting was a
satisfactory one from every viewpoint

Armed with an automatic pistol and
with his face masked by a red handker

money from his own cash register at the
bidding OF the robber. During the pro-
eecdings an interruption occurred when
Jack Albean, nm American, entered. AL

ously at first, thinking that some joke
was being staged. Only whom the robber

Without attempting 10 take anything
from the persons of the three men in
the saloon. the holdup went out OF the
front doorway. as he had entered. facing
the room with his pistol leveled. The
police were notified by telephone imme-
diately after the robber left and an auto
load OF detectives hurried to "the saloon.
a search OF the netghborhood failed of
results. The only description that could
be obtained from the men who were in
the saloon at the time Of the holdup was
meager in details.
A. Edgar. a peddler, 2S years OF age.
was arrested on suspicion shortly after
midnight by Patrolman w. E Palmer.
The proprietor Of the bar partly identified
Edgar by reason OF the fact that he wore
a red tie and a horseshoe pin, such as
was worn by the foldup.
It was learned after the robbery that
the proprietor Of the bar had $500 In the
cash register which he did not give to
the holdup.

IOWA POLITICIAN
PLEASED WITH CITY
Says Salt Lake City Is Most Wide
Awake City He Has Seen
In West,

Salt Lake, as a city of business
and progress, is attracting nation
wide attention, according to Henry
Bennett, prominent business man and
politician OF Cedar Rapids, Ia. Mr..
Bennett stopped Off here yesterday on
his return to his home after two months
in California and the northwest. Speak.
ing of his trip yesterday, Mr.. Bennett
said.
Business conditions in California
are at present very much unsettled,
although in the northwestern cities
general conservativeness is noted
Many idle men are on the streets
OF Seattle and Tacoma, with but
little chance Of employment. \
noticeable feature in Salt Lake is
that everyone is up and doing. The
city enjoys the reputation through.
out the country Of being the only
one which is showing any marked
progress.
Mr.. Bennett left Salt Lake and con-
tinued his trip TO Iowa yesterday.

GEM STATE FREIGHT
IS MOVING RAPIDLY
Potatoes and Apples Are Be-
ing Rushed Out on
Special Cars.

Movement OF potatoes and apples
from Idaho points TO the east, south
east and middle west is tremendous, ac-
cording to reports received from the
Gem state yesterday, but by the skill
full management Of e. G. Manson, as
sistant general manager Of the Oregon
Short Line, the situation is being sue
cessfully handled. The cars are kept on
the move practically all Of the time e1-
cept when they are being loaded, and
shippers are urged to load and unload
as quickly as possible.
When seen in his office yesterday j.
A. Reeves. general freight agent for
the Oregon Short Line, corroborated the
statement that the freight Of Idaho
was being handled to the satisfaction
of the shippers, Discussing the ques-
tion, Mr.. Reeves said:
The big demand has been for
Pacific fruit express cars, which
are used for potatoes and apples
and no complaints regarding them
have reached my office during the
last three days. We have been
working to that end ever since last
years crops were shipped and now
have supply of refrigerator cars
III lodHO lHdI we DellcFe TO De SUI
6cieut
Crops of the Gem state have been
heavy this year and 1t has not been
without effort that we have moved
them, but we have kept the wheels
rolling. AS nm evidence Of the crops
being moved from southern Idaho,
152 cars were loaded with potatoes
and started toward their destina-
tions yesterday, and 206 others were
being loaded with that staple veg
etable. The potato crop is about
half moved and it is going to be
easier to handle the remainder of it.
Potatoes are shipped from Idaho to
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New
York, Chicago and many other i'm
portant points.
The demand for Idaho potatoes
has been especially heavy on ac-
count of the shortage in the cast,
middle west and in Colorado Prices
are good and the whole Snake river
valley seems to be prospering.
Idaho apples are also in big de-
mand We are shipping on the
average about twenty-five carloads
from there TO the east and to Mis-
souri, river points every day and
during the last six weeks have sent
from Idaho $50 carloads Of different
varieties Of apples
Taken altogether, / believe the
situation has been handled well and
with the minimum loss possible TO
the producer, shipper and buyer.

Freight Rate PrOhibitive.

Each of these schemes contemplates re-
ducing furnaces and steel plants The
freight rate on the raw material has pro-
hibited its shipment to the mills located
at distance. One company planned to
erect a steel mill at Green River, Utah;
another at Utah lake: another at Ogden
and another at Salt Lake.
Utah, according to experts. offers an
ideal loca ton for the steel industry, since
II can supply in great quantities both the
iron ore and the coal for the reduction
furnaces. In fact, In Utah the coal and
iron are found almost side by side, Lo-
cal men declare 1t would be folly to talk
OF developing Utah iron properties and
to haul the raw material elsewhere for
fabrication.
The steel mills Of Pittsburg were con-
structed there because Of the close prox
Unity OF coal; and those at Gary for the
same reason. coupled with the fact that
Gary by water. The Utah situation sur
pa sses this for the reason that neither
iron ore nor coal need be hauled any
distance.
