NEW YORK, Nov. 80. Reports
from all parts of the United States
show much increased tone of bust
| ness confidence among all lines, and
especially among those merchants
catering to the Christmas trade, who
feel that the people are preparing to
spend much more his year than they
have for several years past, due to
the general prosperity evident among
the people, and particularly so among
the working classes. The leading
bankers of the country substantiate
this view. and say that the nation is
fast getting on it's feet from the
effects of the first announcement of
war in Europe, and in most lines of
endeavor business is better than it
was before hostilities started. On
Puget Sound and other parts of the
Pacific Coast the situation is better
than it has been for four years past.
The liquidation process to which
business on the Sound was being
subjected, has been completed, and
from now on the outlook is more
hopeful, as may be shown by IN
creased building activity in Seattle.

LIVINGSTON. July 9.-A party of twenty-five tourists. among them be- Ing Senator James Brady of Idaho. was held up by three robbers today in the Yellowstone Par.. As each stage rounded a sharp curve the passengers were compelled to stand in line and throw their valuables into sack held by one bandit who was armed A sec ond bandit took charge of the booty and third stood fifty feet away guarding the entire line.
 As the third coach was being robbed Mr. Rice of New York, in charge of the tourists, jumped out and started back to notify the passengers in the rear vehicles to hide their valuables One of the highwaymen fired a shot and realizing this had given the alarm, they fled to the timber. Hearing the shot, brady. who was riding behind went ahead to discover the cause. He met Mir. Rice. To reassure the tourists that no further danger existed, Brady rode the rest of the way on the driv- CTS seat of the leading coach.
 The scene of the hold-up is a heay- lily wooded section, where there are numberless peaks and bluffs. The coaches were strung out for a mile. The bandits did not rob the first, but attacked the victims from the center of the line
 They made the passengers deposit their money and yaluables in a sack. The coaches were on a narrow road. Those in the rear were unaware fo hte robbery of the front coaches The coaches were headed for the Fountain Hotel where the tourists had luncheon Military officers at Mammoth Hot Springs did not receive word of the ho,d-up until 1:3O, at least four hours alter it took place. The scene of the hold.up is close to the spot where 125 passengers and twenty-five coaches were robbed on July 29, 1914 of a sum estimated at S3OOO by a lone ban dit.

The resignation of Gilmore Dobie, as football coach, has not created any great excitement among the students Although he piled up a record for the university of eight years of undefeat- ed football, he is not the hero that many people think, on the campus His methods have been harsh, accord ing to football players, and he has ruled with an iron hand.
 A new coach has not yet been selected. The opinion of the students of the university seems tC>be that they want coach who will get the results, and yet be of more gentle type than Dobie. It is claimed by educators in the city schools that Dobie's influence on grammar school athletics has not been for the best.
