A State Road
Through Main Street

The County Commissioners are
seriouly considering the estab-
fishing OF state road through Main
St., leading from the Varney home
east of town on west to Cedar Valley
past Cedar Fort to the Tooele County
line. This question was discussed at
the Commissioners meeting Monday
and will probably be so designated in
the near future.
The advantages of having 1t chan
ged from Co., to a State Road is
that state funds may then be used
In helping to keep 1t in repair. The
County Commissioners and State
road Commissioner, r. II. Lyman
will meet with the city council Of
Lehi next Thursday to discuss the
question of road improvements. The
questions to be discussed are the paw
ing with cement the state road, and
the sprinkling with oil the county
road leading through Main Street Is
Lehi ready to levy a small tax to help
install these improvements is the
question to be settled
The meeting at Lehi will be held
at 8 a. m. At 10 o'clock, there will be
meeting with the American Fork
city council and at IL o'clock with
Pleasant Grove.

lehi'S Cement
Products Factor

Lehi has an industry operated by
George l.. and Carlos Schow that
would be interesting and instructive
for any one to visit. II is their factory
where all kinds of cement products
are being made. Their plant consists
OF cement mixer and many sets OF
moulds In which are made cement
blocks for houses, 3, 4, s and 6 inch
filing for drainage purposes, 8, IL, 10,
Is, 20 and 80 inch pipe for culverts
and water bitches, watering troughs,
caps and stills for houses, posts for
pipe fences, and many other desirable
things.
Formerly objection was made to the
use of cement for houses because OF
their ease for conducting cold and
heat, but this difficulty is now over
come by making an air space in the
center Of the block. They are made
in any shade desired and are not only
artistic but lasting as time.
One Of the city's big street expenses
formerly was the replacing OF wooden
culverts every four years; cement
ones are really the cheaper for first
cost and never have to be replaced
All new culverts being put in are of
cement
Stone caps and stills for houses are
being a thing Of the past, cement ones
are cheaper. stronger and equally as
artistic, and can be obtained cheaper
at the Schow factory than they can be
made where the house is being built.
The drain pipe made of cement is
a new product but is destined to come
into very extensive use, because II
Is cheaper than lumber, makes
better drain and never will need to
be replaced. Surrounding Lehi, Am
erican Fork and Pleasant Grove, are
thousands Of acres Of the best land
In the state that could have its pro-
ductivity increased 100 per cent II
properly drained With additional
irrigation on the higher lands this
area is yearly being added to. Several
land owners are preparing to drain
this season and within the near fut-
ure II is probable that regular
drainage district will be laid out.

large herd of full blood black poll
CATTLE Alex Currie is the owner Of
a large number of full blood Belgian
horses and a fine herd of short horn
cattle, of the beef type Mr.. Powell
and Mr.. McLarty have large herds of
Belgian and Percheron horses and
short horn and Ho1stein cattle.
This country has been prosperous
in the raising of wheat and other
grain. The coming of the farmers
from the eastern states with their
corn and potato raising ideas and
stock and dairy methods have shown
the old-timer that the same amount of
100 and 800 acres, with the new meth
DDS used, as can be gotten from three
times this amount of land where small
grain is raised exclusively. These OBJ
ject lessons have shown, beyond
doubt that the $40, 1880 and larger
tracts of land must be divided into
smaller tracts SO that the new meth
DDS can be put into general practice.
The price of land here now is based
on its value as wheat and small
grain land. Lands can be bought at
prices ranging from $500 to $45.0O
per acre and these lands are of the
most productive of the world.
In Cando are located two banking
institutions. The Cando National
Bank has a capital of $25,OOOOO with
a surplus of $35,0OOOO. The First Ma
tional Bank has also a capital of
$25,00000 and a surplus of $35,O0OOO.
The Mclaughlin Loan Com pany has
a capital of $1OO,OOOOO and surplus
of $5O,0O0.00, and the Thompson Real
ty Company capital of $780,
OOO.O0. These strong financial institu-
tions are we'll prepared to take care
of the financial wants of this COM
munity. The Catholics have just fin
ished a very handsome church build
ing costing $22,0000O This is one of
the most complete churches in the

THE CANDO NATIONAL
BANK.

The Banking facilities of Cando
are such that the business interests
find support and encouragement for
all legitimate demands, and the peo-
pie are given opportunities for in
vestments, which, without the banks,
would be impossible Among the
most important and sound banks
in this section of the state is
that of the Cando National Bank,
which was established in 1885, and
has had a singularly successful career.
They are housed in fine quarters in
their own building and are very we'll
equipped to carry on banking in all
its forms, commercial and savings
They have department devoted to
insurance, and another to the farm
and loan business, and the safety
deposit boxes are another feature
that adds to the attractiveness and
convenience of it's customers. The
officers are: c. J. Lofgren, PRESIDENT;
J. J. McCanna, vice-president; D. F.
Mclaughlin, cashier, and R. D. Gil
lies, assistant cashier. These men
are all we'll and favorably known in
the community as able and safe hnan-
ciers and business men. The bank
operates with capital of $25,0OO00,
and has a surplus of Sal 100000, and
is in very good condition.

Cand0, North Dakota

The city of Cando is situated in
one of the best agricultural districts
of the west. In the early eighties,
shortly after the opening of the Red
River Valley country, the big Co1lee
country with it's broad and level pralr-
les attracted settlers from all parts
of the land These pioneers came
here to build new homes, many of
them with only enough money to en-
able them to locate on a quarter sec
ton of Towner County's virgin soil.
These people devoted most of their
attention to the raising of wheat and
other small grains and in this terri
tory with its wonderfully fertile soil
and abundant rainfall have all become
well-todo. On every side you can
see the unmistakable evidences of
prosperity; on nearly every farm you
will find large, comfortable and mod
ern homes, surrounded by we'll kept
groves, big barns filled with high
grade horse and we'll fed CATTLE In
the vicinity of Cando you will find
farmers worth all the way from $780,
10000 to $5OO,OOOOO and every cent
of the money has been made out of
the soil which they till.
During the past 10 or IS years, set
tiers have been coming into this
country slowly, most of them from
the states of Iowa, Indiana and Illi-
nois and with them they have brought
and put into practice the methods of
farming practiced in these older
states. Although they have raised
wheat, oats, barley and flax to some
extent they have also devoted much
of their energies to the raising of
stock, dairying and have shown to
a doubling people that corn can be
raised here almost as successfully as
in the states of Iowa and Illinois,
Although the corn crop is fast becom-
ing the rival of the wheat crop and
alfalfa and clover are now being
raised quite generally, agricultural
lists tell us that this country properly
managed will ever be the wheat belt
of the land. Experts say and prac-
tices here have shown that wheat and
other small grains grown on land this
year, that was planted to corn and
potatoes last year, will yield as many
was first cultivated; Is to 40 bushels
of wheat on corn and potato land
is common.
In addition to being a very Sue
cessful wheat and small grain country,
the vicinity of Cando is fast becom-
ing famous for the full blood stock
raised around it, The Mclaughlin
Stock Farm commenced raising full
blood stock four years ago with 80
head of imported percheron mares.
These were the first selection of 200
full blood Percheron mares. This lot
of mares is headed by the celebrated
stallion, "Klaqueuer" that took first
prize as champion two-year-old Per-
cheron stallion at the International
Stock Show held in Chicago in 1912.
This farm is also the owner of a
large herd of full blood short horn
cattle of the milking strain; the orig
inal stock was procured at the May
and Otis Farm, owners of the cham
pion herd of milking short horn cat
tie of America. The Olson Stock
Farm is the owner and raiser of
large herd of Percheron horses. Up
to 1912 this farm imported $50 high
grade full blooded Percheron and Bel
gian horses. This farm also has a
