John D. Rockefeller Enters Mean Man
He Once Knew in the Cham
pionshp Stakes.

John D. Rockefeller once said to
New York reporter:
1.-THE poorest way to wealth is the
mean way. In Richford, where was
born, we had mean man, a very
mean man; yet the fortune he left
was small-you might say mean
one.
"At church supper one night this
man cut the corner of his lip with his
knife. All searched their pocketbooks.
but nobody had any cOurt-plaster.
What was to be done? The cut was
bleeding.
"Finally the parson produced a
two-cent stamp and said:
"'Put this on the cut, squire. It
will stop the hemorrhage, / believe
"Thank you,' said the squire CRATE
fully, and taking out his wallet, he
placed the two-cent stamp in it, ex-
tracing at the same time a one-cent
stamp of his own, which he proceeded
to stick on the cut.
"'Thank you, parson,' he repeated,
"A penny saved is penny earned !"

An Eve out for the Drinks.

If any reader thinks this little story
is far-fetched he is right-we got it
direct from distant Shanghai. A be-
nevolent lady was giving a dinner
party to number of soldiers who had
been half-blinded and otherwise
wounded in the war, and during the
repast the hostess was astonished to
receive glass eye rolling on a plate.

is closed so far as stock subscriptions are concerned
and that there is no further need for worry over the
matter. That the hotel will go along all right and
materiaize in due time, regardless of what any of
the laty does in the matter In order to correct this
erroneous impression perhaps brief statement Of
the conditions may not be amlss.
In the first place, the cost and size of the struct
ure has not been definitely decided upon, but it is
the feeling of the majority of those interested that
would be foolish to build less than Is guest
The cost per room of the Utah Hotel at Salt Lake
City is $1,000 Of the Newhouse Hotel. $1,000
The expense per room of such hotel as we would
be justified in building in Cedar City is varousy es-
timated at from $500 to $1,000 per room. If we
build IS rooms, therefore, the cost will vary from
$4,000 to $4,000. according to the amount Of
elegance we put into the structure and the furnish
ings and equipment We see now to meet the re-
quirements here on an investment of less than S TO-
10000.
AT the present time little more than $4,000
worth of the stock has been subscribed for so that
it is plain to that problems not all solved
yet. There is ample opportunity for the "strong"
to kick in. and also for the little fellows to do
their bit. Of course, when possibly 90 per cent
of the capital shall have been raised the balance of
the money can be raised by the sale of bonds but
it will be generally conceded that it would be mucr
better if the money could all be raised locally and
the management and control of the enterprise kept
at home. We are going to have the hotel and the
work will be commenced as early in the spring as
is practicable and kept going vigorously until the
structure is ready to receive guests as they swarm
over the Arrowhead Trail next summer. But in the
time. it should have the support and assistance
of every person in the community to the extent that
their circumstances will permit No one can afford to
stand with folded arms and leave it to George"
The new hotel with adequate and suitable accommo-
dations to handle the travel which is certain to pass
our doors next summer is the biggest thing at the
present time that can be undertaken for this COM
muny.

CEDAR CITY'S POST OFFICE

INNE of the crying needs of Cedar City is for
~ larger and more commodious post-ofhce. The
present quarters are entirely inadequate, both
from the view of the postmaster and the patrons Of
the office. Cedar City is distributing station for
practically all of Iron and Washington counties. The
local mail is especially heavy. and there is serious
shortage of boxes and other accommodations. The
work room behind the screen is small and nconven-
enty arranged and much of the time is so piled and
cluttered up with parcel post mail that there is scarce
y room to turn around in it. This necessitates the
stacking of much mail in the lobby and on the side
walk which is not afforded the protection that it is
supposed to receive and makes it very inconvenien
for mail contractors, who are required to be on the
spot to meet delayed mails and receive their loads
largely direct from the incoming trucks, because there
is no other place to unload it.
The postmaster has recognized this necessity for
some time and has repeatedly tried to obtain pro-
posals from local people for the furnishing of suit
able quarters at figure the government would con-
sent to pay. but up to the present time has failed to
oban such proposal
What Cedar City really needs and what the condi-
tons warrant is Federal building here to take care
OF the post office at this junction point. to house the
Forest Service department. the county agent and such
other business and officials the governmet has an
interest III ooHle INONuS ago Dill was lntOduCed In
the House of Representatives by Rep. yelling of this
district approprating $500 for the purchase of
site in Cedar City for Federal building. We have
heard nothing further in regard to the matter, but
surmise that if it ever gets favorable action there
will have to be lot of activity on the part of local
people. for such favors are not crowded upon any
community. We suggest that the Commercial club
and other organizations bring as much pressure to
bear as possible upon the matter to obtain favorable
action by Congress.
In the mean time we understand that there is a
possibility of some relief from other directions Bids
for the furnishing of suitable quarters for the post
office have been submitted by the Bank of Southern
Utah for the use of the quarters now occupied by
the bank, when they have erected their contemplated
new building. 1t is also reported that 7. A. Thorley
contemplates the erection of large modern business
block on the ground south of his theatre, and that
he, too has submitted proposal to furnish quarters
for the post-of6ce.
4 We trust that some of these plans may ripen dur
ing the present year and that the post-ofhce will mol
; be compelled to spend another winter in the ncon-
venient quarters now occupied.

Higher Freight Rates Don't

Living if Commodities
Shipped Are Not Wasted
Bv r. E. Fulton

Expensive transportation is far
cheaper than no transportation. To q
very large extent the present high cost
Of living is the result Of attempting to
carry on transportation at rates which
did not allow the railroads sufficient
revenue to maintain adequate service.
Many Of the apparent shortages which
have forced up prices have been the
result Of inability to move goods to
markets. Likewise, interest on capital
involved in commodities tied up by
lack Of transportation facilities must
be included in the final price Of all
articles delayed in transit.
The waste of perishable commodi-
ties is another important addition-a
recent Congressional investigation
proved that fully SO per cent of the
pershable food products of America
is wasted through insufficient methods
of transportation. If giving the rail-
roads adequate compensation for their
service will aid to establish an unin-
terrupted flow Of merchandise from the

Motor Cor Essential
In Our transportation

At a meeting Of the Motor and
Accessory Manufacturers Associa-
sion, representing the principal
makers Of automotive parts and
equipment, at Cleveland, on Septem-
ber Is and IT, the following resolu-
tion was passed:
THE automotive vehicle, as rep
resented by the passenger car and
motor truck, is as essential factor
in the transportation system of our
country.
The promotion OF adequate
means of transportation and facili-
ties therefore is most desirable.
Therefore, the active support and
Endorsement of the Townsend bill
for national system of highways
becomes the responsibility Of each
and every member of our associa-
ton.
The curtailment Of credits by
banks of the country has adversely
affected all industry. The automo-
tive industry being the third larg-
est of the nation has naturally
been curtailed at least proportion
ately. Being as it is, an essen
tial industry Of basic soundness,
its permanence' and future success
full growth are absurd. The Federal
Reserve Board has recognized ade-
quate transportation as one of the
first national needs Of importance,
classed ms secondary only to food,
fuel, clothing and housing"

Corporation Solves the Transit
Problem for Merchants i'm
Upstate District

ALBANY, Sept 25.-The fear Of
railroad or express tie-up affecting
business men and manufacturers of
Albany and scores Of other cities has
been eliminated by the formation Of
new terminal and transport corpora
ton. The headquarters Of this corpo-
ration has been established in Albany
and variou9 truck lines covering vir.
tually all sections Of the state will be
operated out Of the capital city. There
are now two "runs" in operation, the
Albany y-Springfield and the Albany
New York. AS fast as new equip
ment can be purchased new runs will
be started. BY October l the corpora
tion plans to have between fifteen and
twenty trucks in operation.
runs there will be trunk lines estab-
lished between Albany and Oneonta
Albany and Utica, Albany and Glens
Falls, Albany and Gloversville and
Johstown, Albany and Hudson, and
Albany and New York, and all the in
termediate towns and cities along these
routes. From New York City there will
be lines to BROOKLYN and Newark.
Business men and manufacturers in
the cities and towns through which
the motor trucks owned by this cor
the present costly and slow transporta-
tion Of goods by express. Because
Of the fact that the corporation will
guarantee overnight delivery from
any point covered by its lines, the
Transportation Of goods by this method
will not only be cheaper than by rail-
road or express. but will be much
quicker
One of the features OF the transpor-
$Ga
tom established is that manufacturers
will be able to have their manufac-
tured merchandise delivered and have
the raw material brought back to their
doors with virtually only one handling.
This will be a great Improvement over
the way freight and express is handled.
| The corporation will have Offices and
terminals in every city through which
the trucks will operate. Any one hav-
ing goods they desire shipped to other
parts of the state need only telephone
will be called for by the trucks few
minutes later. There will be no delay
and the merchandise will only be
handled once before being delivered.
This complete truck line will offer
new fields to manufacturers and busi-
ness men because Of the quick and
safe delivery Of goods. II will also

turer closer together and will help in
Improving business conditions geher-
| lily throughout the state.
| Albany is one of the first cities in
the country to inaugurate the motor
truck terminal, and the originators of
the idea have been asked by scores of
cities and civic bodies and technical
journals to explain the project.
Because Of the congested conditions
Of the railroad. and at the suggestion
Of the shippers and business men, the
Albany Chamber Of Commerce decided
that o motor freight terminal was
needed In the capital city. A trans
portation expert was asked to make an
investigation by the Chamber Of Com
merce. There were q number Of motor
truck lines, but 1t was decided that 1t
would be best to have the company
which handled the goods have charge
! Of the terminal.
