! New York also shows poor business
conditions, and statistically ranks al.
most as low as the south. suppose
this Is due to the fact that conditions
in New York City form such a prom
inent feature in making up the bust
ness statistics for the entire state.
The next poorest conditions are
found in New England, the Ohio valley
and the South Central states. Condi-
tons in these sections are still below
the average. probably because manu-
featuring enters so largely into the
compilation of their statistics. The
Pacific and Mountain states show sim
liar unsatisfactory conditions.
Nevertheless, some parts Of the
country have returned to normal,
among them the west central portions,
and the southwest and northwest.
Strange to say, business Is worst in the
southeastern portion of the country,
and best in the northwestern.
Fundamental conditions suggest
that, as the summer advances, business
should improve. A study of railroad
earnings, clearings, failures, loans,
bank deposits, commodity prices, and
the like suggests general picking up
in business as fall approaches. Per-
haps this is most evident in the rates
which are charged for money. Where
money can be secured at per cent to
8 per cent in the spring, it commands
per cent to per cent in the fall.
Hence, although general business is
pretty quiet now, it should not become
worse, and may soon be very much bet
ter
The excellent agricultural prospects
are stimulating general trade through
out the middle west; and mining &C
tivities are rapidly reviving in the
Lake regions. the southwest and the
mountainous sections.
"War order" business which, as /
have pointed out, Is liable to have its
reaction, is something the country at
large will do we'll to take with ample
allowance for its essential nature.
Speaking generally, business, during
the next year, will be best for the man
who gets neither too blue nor too en-
thusiastic, but conservatively keeps in
the middle Of the road and bases his
actions on cold figures.

To work for himself, to be his own
master, to own his own business, is the
laudable desire of the average young
man, who's worth his wages. But there
is no one who needs to keep before
him the business experiences of 9TH
ers If he would not court disaster early
In the game. He Is apt TO have at the
very threshold of business life, an al.
most infantile faith in his ability to do
things which hard experience has told
everyone else can't be done. Just as
child will joyously put its hand on
hot stove in spite of repeated warnings
so will about ninety-nine young men
out of a hundred blithely grab at
business rose and come of with only a
bunch of thorns and scratches.
Ten to fifteen years is not too much
for any earnest young man to allow in
which to learn the safe rudiments of
business. OF this time it will take him
about five years to learn what he does
not know, and the rest Of the time to
assimilate from others and through his
own study, the automatic things that
he must know If he would start out for
himself we'll equipped in the funda-
mentals Of business experience.
Business experience comes slowly to
the average man. II he's wide awake
he will read great deal and gather
as much knowledge from that source
as he is able. And he will also keep
his eyes and ears open to those about
him, and to business men with whom
he comes in contact, so as to absorb
their experiences and their methods
He will also get good experience on his
own account, for as he gradually gets
to have the spending of more or less of
his firms money, he will experiment
and these experiments will teach him
much.
Few young men think OF what these
years of training and experience mean
to them - these years Of experiment.

Preventative CLARK
TO LOCATE AT SALT LAKE.

Representative }. NJ. Clark and S. S.
King of Dietrich were Shoshone bust
ness visitors on Tuesday. Mr. Clark
took on 10 or 20 pounds more weight
by his residence at the State capital
On every hand his home folks con-
graduate him not alone for improved
looks but for his legislative record al
so. Mr.. Clark was one OF the staunch
supporters of the game reorganza-
ton measure which was designed to
take that department of the State gov
ernment out of personal politics but
which the Governor in his superior
wisdom has vetoed.
1t has been ascertained from Boise
that Mr.. Clark was offered a position
in charge of one of the departments
at the San Francisco fair This of
fer came to him from the Governor of
Idaho but deeming a short term minor
political position in no way to his lik-
ing Mr.. Clark declined this honor
Then in turn it was learned that the
Short Line railroad. for which Mr.
Clark has long seen service. until the
convening of the last. legislature as
agent AT Dietrich. wished him to take
charge Of a main line station again.
but this he also declined. And now it
is stated that he has been asked To-
accept employment as an assistant
in the general freight Office at Salt
Lake and this offer has been accepted.
1t is matter of regret that he will
no longer be 4 resident of Lincoln
county but with Mrs. Clark will hence /
forth reside at the headquarters of the
railroad company. The appointment
now accepted is regarded as more to 1
his tastes Mr.. Clark was not always
in accord with the dictums of his par
ty at Boise. He was one of his own
party faith who supported the game
reorganization measure in spite of
pressure of partisanship against the
stand he took and when the Governor
vetoed that measure the other day
Mr.. Clark thought the Governor made
a grave error
