Times were never better throughout Eastern
Utah than right now with plenty of continued
prosperity in sight. Flockmasters are receiving
a good price for their wool from heavy shear
ings and have had very little losses from any
source cattle and horses are selling at the high
est figures in years. labor is fairly well employed
at good wages. the coal mines are working all
right for this time of year. much construction
work Is under way and more Is planned. local
banks vaults are bulging with money, merchants
generally report trade revvng while the pros
poets for bounteous crops were never better as
a whole What more could be reasonably asked

Announcement the other day that the great

England will expend 9,l25 900, 900 on the war.
of which sum $6.s75 900. 900 will go 10 her allies

matter is this last statement. Englands allies
seem 10 be rather expensive. They are furnish

the money. There IL a limit 10 both-and on
