West Side Commercial club. whose activi-
ties embrace the industries OF those tmiV-
ing communities.

material welfare OF the western part OF

In its work OF assisting hortlcu!turlStS
and agriculturists. the club has pald spe-
caI attention to the matter OF purchasing
seeds. trees. shrubs and concomitants TO
the pursuit of agriculture. AS instances
OF the benefits accruing from this work
are the facts that the community mas

OFFERS TO PURCHASE
REFUND BOND ISSUE
Same Company Also Desires
to Make Proposal on Water
and Sewer Bonds.

A proposal to purchase the S775,000
sold by the city in time to meet the
old bonds falling due May l, was made
to the city commission yesterday by II.
r. Goddard, representing the Continen-
tai 6 Commercial Savings & Trust
company Of Chicago. Mr.. Goddard did
not enter any bid on the bonds, but he
met with the commissioners and advised
them that his company was willing to
enter into negotiations if the city was
ready to act at once. He declined to
put in bid now to be acted upon later,
declaring that within the course Of a
few weeks the bond market might
change.
Mr.. Goddard will meet formally with
the commission next Monday morning
and will make his bid at that time, pro.
vided the city decides to act imme-
diately. He told the commission yes
terday that In order to have the money
on hand to meet the bonds coming due
May l it would be best to issue the re-
funding bonds Immediately, as two
months or more probably would be con-
sumed by attorneys for the bond buy
ers in checking up all tho questions Of
legality,
At the same meeting Mr.. Goddard
said his company would be willing to
enter bid on the 100000 water and
sewer bonds in case the voters author
ize the issue at the special election to
be held February Is.
No election is necessary for issuing
the refunding bonds, according to the
city attorney, as the debt was author
lied twenty years ago and the citizens
have no right to pass on the question Of
whether it shall be paid.
The refunding bonds will be issued TO
meet the major portion of an Ss00,ooO
issue of twenty years ago. OF this
amount $4,000 worth already has been
redeemed by the city treasurer and
steps are afoot for redeeming S22, 1000
more within the next few days.

A FREQ scholarship in Cornell univer-

The club, which was organized less
than a year ago, now has about fifty
members, and it is expected that the
number will be increased to seventy

DISCUSS CHANGE
IN PUBLIC WORK
Commission Prepares to Obey Ruling Of
Supreme Court in Matter Of
Advertising Improvements.

Details of the change in the system
of layinp water mains, made necessary
by the recent supreme court decision
holding that all public improvement
work must be done by contract, wero
discussed yesterday at meeting of the
water superintendent, the city attorney
and the city engineer.
For two wears the city has been lay
ing its water mains without contracts
and it is claimed that a saving of more
than $4,000 year resulted from that
system. Now the old system of let
ting contracts for every extension must
be reinstalled. The question discussed
Yesterday was whether contracts would
have to be let for the lowering of water
mains. The attorney was of the opinion
that this work would come under the
head Of improvement work and could
therefore be done by the city itself.

COMMISSION DECIDES
TO OPEN NEW STREET

The county commissioners decided
yesterday to open as a public thorough
fare a street running from Riverton to
State street, which had been closed by
Jackson Allen, who claimed he owned
the land privately. 1t is understood
Allen will sue the county to restrain
the commissioners from opening the
street.
Several days ago large delegation
of residents in the vicinity of River
ton appeared before the commission and
protested against the action of Allen in
putting up fences across the roadway.
Attorneys for both sides were present
and a formal hearing was held. the
commission taking the matter under
advisement until yesterday.
1t was shown that the roadway had
been used as public thoroughfare for
years, and that at one time it had actu-
ally been dedicated as a street by the
county.

Salt Lake Route Active.

The Salt Lake Route, operating
between Salt Lake City and Los
Angeles, has spent much time and
money in the improvement of its
roadbed through Utah and has
plans for the next year that include
an extension or two which will be
of great value to Salt Lake City.
The Oregon Short Limo has been
very busy in 1918 From Ashton,
Idaho, on the Yellowstone Park
line in northern Idaho, il has com
pletcd branch reaching south and
east to Victor, Idaho. This branch
is nearly fifty miles in length and
opens up rich and almost un-
touched territory. Another branch
Homedale, Ore, along the south
thought to be part of what ulti-
mately will be through line con-
Meeting Nyssa, Orc. with Promon-
tory, Utah, and provide the shortest
route between the east and the
coast, as well as between Salt Lake
City and the coast. Another branch
has been extended from Emmett,
Idaho, to the Payette lakes, which
lie north and east. Short stretches
Of railway have also been built in
Cache valley of Utah and in Bear
River valley In southern Idaho and
northern Utah. Probably the most
important single item has been the
commencement OF work on the
Snake valley belt line which is to
run out of Blackfoot, Idaho, to the
eastward of the main line and
finally swing back to the line at
ST. Anthony. Idaho. Both in the
immediate freight returns and in
the cost of construction this item
is one OF the most important in the
railway budget for 1913 and 1911.

BIG ||VTERMOUNTANV
EMPIRE PROGRESSING
Achievements of the Past
Year Set Out by National
Copper Bank.
RECORD is PROUD ONE
Splendid Showing Made In
the Matter Of Industrial
Development.
RECORD is PROUD ONE

The monthly letter issued yesterNa
by the National Copper bank and th
Bankers Trust company deals with tn
splendid achievements of the state fo
the year just closed, and is optimlsti
as to the future. The letter follows:
The history of the intermountain
empire for the year 1913 shows
progress in every phase. The min
ing industry has experienced the
best year in several past; our agrl-
cultural output was never so great,
nor oar marketing arrangements so
complete; unusual development OF
water power has been accom-
plisbed; railroad facilities have
been bettered on every hand; our
titled areas have widened; our pop
ulatiop has grown; our wealth has
increased.
Railroad building has not been
cut off during the year. There has
been q, great deal of building, and
most of it has been but part of
the initial development Of far
reaching plans:
Grande is energetically pushing for
ward its work Of shortening its line
over l0e u1UuuIdlucs uoupio u ON
ing il and reducing the grade. 1t
is part of a general plan of great
magnitude which embraces the cleo
trifcation of the road between Den
yer and Salt Lake City and will
end by making the Denver g. Rio
Graude practically rev road. The
Western Pacific also has been car
rying on Improvement work OF i'm:
poytauce,
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1914-02-08
Other Important Work.

In addition there has been con-
siderable work done in the Pocatel-
10 and kemmerer districts, and also
in the building of new stations,
freight houses and permanent equip
ment.
There has been a great amount
of interurban development. An
entirely new railroad, the Salt Lake
& Utah, running from Salt Lake
City southwark on the west side
of the valley to Provo, Utah. some
fifty miles, has had the major por-
ton of the construction work com.
pIeted this year and trains will
very soon be operating over it. The
Salt Lake & Ogden railroad, run
ming between Ogden and Salt Lake
City. has made extensive improve
ments In, double tracking and i'm
proving its terminal and other IA
cilities.
All Of this work has been com
PEELED by the demands of the grow
ing traffic that is offered TO the
railroads. Each year, in spite Of
the improvements of the year pre-
vious, the freight offered to the
railroads b. the rich intermountain
empire taxes transportation facil-
ties to the utmost. and usually caus-
es an actual congestion during the
fall of the year, yet we are al
ready in possession of facilities
that would have been not only am
pie, but largely idle, few years
ago.
During the year 1913 the mining
companies of the state of Utah
alone paid nearly $S,000.000 in divi-
dends to their stockholders. This
is principally from old developed
properties, though more new ones
have been developed than for some
time past and the total number of
dividend'paying mines is larger
than for some years. The year has
been marked not only by the de-
velopment of several new mines,
but by the building OF extensive
mills and other equipment OH prop
critics already established. Interest
III mining shares. as in many other
enterprises OF like character all
over the United States. has been
