BANKS SHOW HUGE GAIN
INCREASE OF ss,sss,ss7 IN DENVER
1916 SAVINGS.
Prosperity Of Denver People Shown In

and industry but even the most conf.

fence thrill of surprise and gratifica.
ton when he observes some of the
proofs in the aggregate.
Never before in the history of Den
yer has there been achievement equal
to the new and remarkable record in
the number and volume of savings ac-
counts. In twenty-four banks the de-
posits aggregate $31,924,939 for 1916,
as against $25,561 1862 in 1915, an in
crease of $6,363,S77, or approximately
% per cent. The adding of 1928 new
accounts during the year, many of
which were deposits of women and
children, gives the figures signifi-
cant aspect The total number of ac-
counts is 10000.
During the year settlers from all
parts of the United States took up
public land in Colorado to the amount
of 2,327,9S7 acres. Most of these were
taken in 32O-acre tracts, the maximum
now permitted as homestead entry.
1t is a striking parallel in Denver's
financial year that, while her savings
were unprecedentedly big, her dis
bursements indicate corresponding
increase. There is not branch of
civic and commercial life that has not
felt the influence of prosperity. Dem
yer has bought more automobiles, built
more houses and worn better clothes
than ever before.
Estimates based on close calcula-
tions by experts show that the total
value of automobiles bought during
the year is approximately $13,600.000.
Total financial transactions of the
Denver postoffice furnish another en-
phatic proof of prosperous conditions.
They will show gain of more than
S1,000,000 over the record of 1915. 1t
is expected that the total business will
amount to more than SO 100000 for the
year. In the postal savings bank OF
the Denver postoffice. approximately
s535,0GO was deposited, a gain of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 over the
aWount deposited in 1915.

Pulaski Heights is in need of a modern system of sewers in place of the septic tanks which are now in use in a greater part of the territory.
 Sewers can be built only by the formation of special inn provement districts.
 Now that the new Ninth Ward has been created and Pulaski Heights is a part of Little Rock, the engineering and legal de- partments of the city are expect ed to help in solving this prob- lem.
 Alderman Bradley said Friday that he considered the matter of sewers the most important ques- tion before the people, and that he would give this special atten- tion. He said that it is prob able that meetings of citizens would be held and the sewer sit uation thoroughly discussed be- fore any steps are taken.
 Judge Carroll D. Wood is one of the most enthusiastic advo- cates of the building of com plete and adequate system of sewers for the Heights, and the quick abolition of septic tanks. It is said that engineers have re- ported cheap and practical plan, with the river for an out let.

ALL-DAY PARTY BY MARY
 LANES.

The social life of Pulaski Heights has felt no benumbing effects of the cold weather, and card and dancing parties, as well as church socials and needle work clubs, seem monthly to be begetting more of their kind.
 Among the leading social or ganizations always active are the Mary James. Mrs. Moss was hostess at the regular meeting Wednesday,, which was an all- day affair. The fact that Mrs. Moss is to be hostess for any, thing is always a guarantee of a pleasant time, and the Mary James enjoyed the day to the limit.
 A pot-luck dinner was served at noon-a real, sure-enough dinner, in six courses, each course being served by two members. Between courses a clever contest took place, the winner, Mrs. J. H. Miller, being served with a triple portion of everything good, which she was expected to accept and take unto herself for her prize.
 During the afternoon an old fashioned spelling match was conducted, Mrs. S. c. Boyce and, Mrs. Fay Curtis choosing sides. Mrs. Robert Brown distinguish ed herself as the prize speller, and was crowned with honors., During the afternoon a luncheon composed of what was left from dinner was served, after which some sewing was done while the neighborhood gossip was enjoy ed. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Frank B. Leaning.

Nailes. The fourth scene is of the interior of an Arabian shop, with it's gathering of Arabians and dancers, incense, flute and drum music, producing a rarely realistic atmosphere.
 The garden of Count Anteoni, in the second act, is the true Garden of Allah, and one of the most beautiful scenes in the play. In the third act occurs the famous sand storm on the desert, and, although being a bleak, bare desert scene, it is surpassing in it's beauty and magic scenic effects. The out side of a Trappist monastery, near Tunis, furnishes the scene for the last act. Attention to detail throughout the perform ance has done much to make this the most wonderful scenic spectacle of the modern stage, as has been proclaimed by crit ics everywhere. The entire pro- duction and cast is exactly, in every detail, as presented at the Century Theater, New York City, for a run of one year.

ROUGH WEATHER DELAYS TOUR OF INSPECTION BY CITY OFFICIALS SCHED- ULED FOR THIS WEEK.
TWO LOCATIONS IN FAVOR
Choice Believed to Lie Between Lot at Corner of Palm and Prospect and Triangle Opp0- site the New Morgan Smith Building at Beech Street.

While the Ninth ward a1der- men and city officials appointed to select site for the proposed new Pulaski Heights fire station have been delayed by the bad weather in making a tour of in spection of the various lots se- lected, it is certain that the sta- tion will be located on Prospect avenue and at either Palm or Beech streets.
 H. F. Auten owns the corner lot at Palm street and Prospect avenue, and he has told the com mittee that the city could name a reasonable price and take the lot if it is thought more desir- able.
 The triangle lot at Beech street, directly opposite and west of the new Morgan Smith building, is owned by D. E. Bradshaw, and was offered for sale few months since at $1,- 100, which it is said is consid- cred a fair price.
 The committee from the coun- cil is expected to inspect the several sites and make a selec- tion within the next few days. After the site is purchased work will be started on the building of the new fire station at once.

WITH THE MOVIES
BISMARCK

The Bismarck theatre has arranged
to offer its patrons the great new
motion picture novel, "Gloria's Ro-
NANCE in which Billie Burke, fam
Gus star Of the speaking stage, has
been engaged at a salary of $4,000
per week to play the leading role.
The story is from the pen of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rupert Hughes, authors of in
Vulnerable novels, and is said to be
society romance with scenes laid
at Palm Beach, Fla, and in the
homes of the wealthy along Riverside
Drive, New York City. Manager Win
greene states that the cost of the
film is considerably above what he
ordinarily has to pay for film service,
but he feels that the attraction is in
every respect so excellent that it is
well worth the higher price.
