When those of his generation whose
fathers had been able to provide n
college education returned on the
threshold of manhood to begin life,
they found Warren Blake already. In
assistant cashier Of the bank and own
er Of certain small mortgages. but not
at all boastful over it, He continued,
even when he became cashier. modest
ly unaware that he had become a
model young man. He was q literal
man who took all things seriously. his
duty to his bank. his treasurership Of
the Presbyterian church. He was
rarely known to laugh.
After thirty-fire years acquaintance
New Chelsea had found no explanation
of him. 1t was admitted that even
Judge Dunmeade. who had a liking
for sonorous phrases. had failed with
his triumph of the commonplace vir-
! tues And it continued to choose
Warren Blake as treasurer for those
organizations requiring such an officer.

which trusts he always rendered

And now. all New Chelsea knew. he

One morning in mid July Warren
was as usual at his desk. The day
had already become hot and sitting.

Warren. that forbade them to appear

care that overlooked no syllable. the
papers on the desk. When he had read
them he arranged them in two neat lit
tie piles. which he labeled Options

As this task was completed Stephen
Hampdens entered the bank. with Il
pleasant nod in reply to the clerks re-
spectful greeting. He made his way
into the cashiers Office.

Warren opened the door and sent one

the plans for the year in the way OF

During the past fow days 24s now en-

az means an outlay Of about $1,000, 900
for the seventy engines said an official
or the Oregon Short Limo yesterday. ut
appears now that seventy new engines
would make our supply adequate for con-
siderable time to come, but VIC have
thought that at times during the last few

dItonal rolling stock Will be ordered In
the near future. The order for the new

HAS BACKING FOR
EVAP0RAT|NC PLANT

City Commissioner w. II. Korns an-
nouDced yesterday that he has backin G
for q large evaporating plant to be
built in a central part of the state to
handle Utah fruits that would other
wise go to waste, provided a sufficient
number Of fruit growers can be inter.
ested in the project.
During his recent trip To California
Commi ssioner Korns met with promi-
Dent fruit packers of that state, and
presented to them plan Of handling
Utah fruits after the manner in which
largo portion of the California fruits
are handled, which involves the evapo"
ration and packing OF fruit which, be.
cause OF overcrowded market condi-
tions, cannot be disposed of advau-
tageously during the fresh fruit sea
son, He was assured by Charles Ward
law, one of the biggest fruit packers
of San Francisco, that such plant
would be built in Utah if local grow
ers would subscribe to n certain
amount of stock and guarantee to fur
nish sufficient supply Of fruit.
q propose to organize an association
Of Utah growers early this year and
have the plant in operation for the
next fruit harvest season. Mr.. Korns
said yesterday. 'fThs probably will
be my last year as city commissioner,
and am laying my plans to engage in
the fruit business on large scale after
leaving the public service"
Steps to have the undertaking con
sidered by the Commercial club are be-
ing taken,
