THE COLOMBIAN TREATY.
Opponents Of Repeal Claim England
Has Hand in BOgOta Treaty.

washington, April 10.-Free use of
the Panama canal by Colombian war
ships. troop ships and army and navy
supply vessels is proposed in the new
treaty between the United States and
colombia, signed at BogOta Tuesday,
TO seal the breach between the two
countries over the separation of Pana-
ma. Secretary Bryan announced this
tonight, with the explanation that the
clause in the convention was Identical
with one in the Colombian treaty ne
gotiated by Secretary Root in 1909,
with the approval Of Great Britain,
and ratified by the United States sem
ate, though never accepted by Colom-
bia.
Mr.. Bryans statement followed a
conference at the state department
with Senator O'GOrman, chairman of
the senate canals committee. which
has under consideration the bill re-
pealing the clause Of the Panama Ca
nal Act eXemptirg American coast
wise shipping from canal tolls. Sena-
tor O'Gorman, who is leading in Dem
ocratic opposition to President Will
sons repeal policy, went back to the
capitol. carrying new ammunition for
his fight. He would not discuss the
matter himself, but other opponents
OF exemption repeal pointed to the
fact that Great Britain in 1909 had
agreed to preferential treatment for
Colombian vessels because Of Colom-
bias peculiar relation to the canal as
evidence that Great Britain and Pres
ident Wilson now are putting a new
construction on the words "all ma
tions' in the clause of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, guaranteeing equal
treatment to the vessels Of the nations
Of the world using the canal. Their
claim is that these words were not
intended to apply to the United States
the owner of the canal, and they will
urge the admission Of Great Britain
in the Colombian matter as proof.
Mr.. Bryan said the treaty signed
at Bogota employs the language of the
Root-Cortes ship canal treaty grant
ing the use Of the waterway to "the
troops, materials for war and ships
Of war Of the Republic Of Colombia
without paying any duty to the Unit
ed States, even in case of an inter-
national war between Colombia and
aOther country"
MIR. Bryan would not say whether
the acceptance by all concerned of
the triparitc treaties would solve all
OF the problems pending between
Panama, Colombia and the United
States.

Charleston and Columbia are max
Ing vigorous campaigns to secure a
branch bank OF the regional reserve
system, and the rivalry is becoming
quite keen. IL is not probable that
more than one branch hank will be
allotted to South Carolina, therefore,
either Charleston or Columbia must
be disappointed. Columbia, as the
geographical center OF the state. has
n slight advantage over Charleston,
but I'm other respects Charleston's po-
sition Is stroner, since that city has
80 long been the financial center and
her banks have established connec-
tions with banks In all sections Of the
State. Charleston also has larger
tanking capital, n larger volume Of
business and greater manufacturing
interests. On the other hand Colum-
bia Is growing more rapidly I'm oil re-
spects than Charleston and within ten
years the positions OF the two cities
may be reversed by the development
OF Columbia as business and finan-
eial center. IL the branch bank Is to
be located to serve present conditions
Charleston is the logical selection, but
IL the future Is to be taken into con-
sideration and prospective develop
ment and growth weighed against ex-
isting business and financial condi-
tions. then Columbia may stand a
chance OF winning over Charleston.

A goodly number of the friends of
the guest of honor were present and
the afternoon was spent in converse
ton interspersed with music and rec
itations. A tasty five o'clock tea wat
served and an inspiring sight was the
AIRY of happy, animated faces, more
than one of whom had passed the
eightieth mile stone of their lives
surrounding the dainty, fower-decked
tables.

A Worthy Enterprise.

The little dairy that has been start
ed by Charles Bryant at his home
west of the B. A. c. College, is a COM
mendable undertaking and one that
deserves to be encouraged. Charlie
has fitted up a nice, sanitary barn
with stalls, cement corrals, watering
troughs, ETC., with view to keeping
the products of his dairy as free from
every source of infection as possible.
He has also provided green pasturage
for the cows, and is delivering milk,
cream and as much butter as he is
prepared to supply to customers each
morning. So far the business is not
on very large scale, but it is grow
ing, and with careful attention will
develop into an important industry in
time. A good, sanitary milk and
cream supply is something for which
Cedar City has long felt the need.
There are plenty of other opportun-
tiles for young people to develop luc-
rative industries if they will but use
their heads, and look about them.
There is no need Of overcrowding
every established pursuit, there are
plenty of new ones that have not yet
been thought or. Be original, and
develop something for ourselves, that
will provide employment and prove
convenience to the people, just as
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant are doing.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES
FUTUE NEW HOME
Work Has Commenced on Property
Acquired Some Time Since
Neat 2-Story Building.

Work has been commenced upon the
Telephone Company's new home,
which will be constructed on the site
of what was formally the Royal Bak-
cry, and which joins the Gem Theatre
building on the north and the Golden
Rule store on the south. The old
bakery building is to be practically de-
molished, and n neat two-story brick
structure will take it's place.
1t is the intention of the building
committee appointed from the board
of directors to fit up the upper story
for telephone Offices, and offer the
first story for rent. The brick and
some of the 9th sr materials were pur-
chased some time since, and the con-
struction work will be pushed rs
rapidly as pos sible. 1t is probable
that the new home can be made haoi-
table in a month or six weeks
A new glass front will be included
in the reconstrlctions, and the build
ing will be made neat and attractive.
1t is proposed to install modern
heating plant and all conveniences.
The growth and development of the
company and It's business has made
more commodious quarters necos-
snry.

BEAVER AND CEDAR.

The Record editor went over with
some of the athletic fans of Cedar City
to witness the meet held at Beaver
last Saturday, and spent the day in
the metropolis of Beaver county.
So far as the athletic meet is con-
cerned, there is little to be said, ex-
cept that Beaver scooped in practi-
cally everything. They had excep-
tionally strong teams, both in the
district school and the high school
divisions.
In some respects Beaver is ahead
of Cedar City, in others we far out
class them. In the matter of cement
side walks Beaver has US skinned
many, many city blocks" In the Mat
ter of electric light service; we have
it onto them good. There they are
putting up with measly two-days.a-
week service.
There are some prosperous looking
business houses there, hut they are
lame in the way they support their To-
cal newspaper There is only one, and
yet either of Cedar City'S papers has
better advertising patronage than
the Beaver paper has.
Beaver has an excellent road to Mil
ford, their railroad station, but some
of the other roads of the county have
been q little neglected, we believe. In
the matter of residences, there would
not be much OF choice between the
two towns. Beaver has a little the
advantage in the matter of popula-
ton.
The new Murdoch Academy building
is very neat, handsome pile, and the
school seems to be doing good work.
OF course, from an educational stand
point it cannot compare with the
Branch Agricultural College at this
place, but the school is admirably
situated for athletic accomplishments.
Being located two miles from town,
the students principally reside in the
buildings comprising what is called
the Fort. There is a good campus,
well supplied with conveniences, and
as soon as the students are out of
school they are on the playground, so
that daily practice is assured AS a
result a splendid bunch of athletes
well hardened and practiced, are ready
10 defend the interests of the school in
such contests as may come up.
Next to Cedar, Beaver is one of the
best towns in Southern Utah.

Go to Church Sunday Services

AS announced in The Record last is
sue, special go TO Church Sunday"
services were held in the tabernacle
last Sunday.
After the usual opening exercises
an able address was given by Rev. C.
S. Rice, who maintained that it was
profitable as well as a matter of duty
to attend religious services on Sun
day in the church to which one be-
longed.
This was followed by a paper on
the Importance of the occasion by Miss
Bertha Perry, who also expressed a
desire to do her duty on the mission
she is about to undertake.
After singing by the choir Elder
Joseph II. Armstrong addressed the
assembly on the subject of attending
church. Was fully impressed with
the necessity for going to church on
the Sabbath day, and urged everyone
to follow this very good practice.
The attendance at che service was
fair though nothing near what it
should have been if the church mem
bers had turned out as urged to. The
meeting closed with the usual devo-
tional services.
