Ship Via Salt Lake & Utah Railroad Salt Lake City Eighty-Three Years Ago Gold Seeker Describe Z'on In Interesting Letter WRITER DIED OF CHOLERA Telia of Big Celebration field By The Mormons Salt Lake City as seen In 1850 by a gold seeker on his way to California is described In a letter which has Just come to light. The epistle Is dated at Salt Lake City, July 24, 1850. It was written by Andrew J. Conrad of Logansport, Ind., to his father, David IL Con- rad, of that place. Shortly after writlnsr the letter Mr. Conrad died of cholera before reaching Call' fornla. The letter was preserved over a half a century In a family Bible. It was discovered there short time ago by Stephen O. Oonrad, brother of the writer, and was published in the Logansport Pharos of last Wednesday, a copy of which was received in Salt Lake last week by Henry Welling. The letter Is as follows: - ' Dear father: We have seen some of the country so far. Some times the bills are so steep that we had to let the wagons down try ropes, and before we got into the valley we came through a canyon that was not more then fifty yards wide at the widest and the rocks so high that they would make one's head swim to look at the top of them. I would suppose them to be from 2,000 to 5,000 feet high by the looks of the mountains around the valley, which are 6,500 feet high, with plenty of grizzly bear, moun tain sheep, black tall deer, etc. We arrived in the valley on the 6th day of July, and found it to be one of the nicest places in the United States and very healthful. The Mormons say they never knew a case of fever or ague since they lived here. The creek water is as pure and cold as the well water in the states, and they all have springs by their doors. They have no rain here in the summer; they have to Irrigate their land, but still they can raise more wheat than we can in the states. They raise from 50 to 75 bushels an acre. One man raised 180 bushels from one bushel of wheat; another raised 120 bushels bush-els on one and a half acres. It may seem to be a big story, but It is true. Wheat is worth from 6$ to $8. Flour, 23 cents per pound. It sold as high as $1 a pound when we came in. Butter, 50 cents; com, 4; and all other things accordingly. according-ly. We can make from $5 to $10 a day. We have a strong notion to stay here till spring and take a twoox team and a year's provisions with us to the mines. The cholera is very bad on the road and we expect It has reached the mines. We have heard no sews from California since we left the state, and, in fact, from any place else. One might think it hard, but we take it patiently, hop ing to see better times some day. As long as one has his health he can get along well, but it Is no place for sick folks. I know that by experience myself, and many a poor fellaw has laid his bones by the roadside. I Just returned this evening from the great Mormon celebration, and S caps anything I ever saw. I suppose that there were about 1,500 men, women and children. It Is a queer way of serving the Lord. I think. They had a whole band of music, and more too, when they marched to escort the president, or the prophet as you might say. The band preceded twenty-four ladles, sH dressed in white with blue scarfs on, carrying a flag with the words: "All Hail to Our Chieftain." They were followed by tweny-four bisbops, each carrying a flag, and they were follewed by a number of soldiers, some dressed in most splen did style They had two cannons, which they discharged every few sainates. They had a large flag hoisted. It was 80 feet long and 20 to to of of feet wide, but it fell down in the afternoon on account of the pole breaking. They intended to have a concert in the evening, but I did not stay. Eli and George remained. The men have from one to forty four wives each, and it beats all places for children that I have ever seen. They say that mere nas Deen but one boy born in the valley in two years. They think this is the promised land which shall flow with milk and honey, but I think it will flow with milk, butter and cheese. You need not expect to hear from us again until next sum mer if we stay here, but I want you to write to California; we will be there by the first of June, If not sooner. Wheat is worth 50 cents per bushel for threshing. Tell Joseph White if he had his thresh-machine thresh-machine here he could make a fortune. Two men can do more threshing here with flails than the best machine can there. If I had a machine I would go no farther toward California, for I could make as much as X want here. Cattle and horses need no feed here, scarcely, in the winter. As soon as the snow falls, the grass grows better. There is snow here all the year around in the mountains. moun-tains. X have kept a Journal since the day I left. I can tell you a great many things after I get home, If I am spared to get back. o CHICAGO, 111. Many appear think that failures occur only banks, but the complete story business shows that failures American banks have followed the failures of business enterprises, and have not been a cause of those failures, fail-ures, Dr. Harold Stonier, National Educational Director of the American Ameri-can Bankers Association, declared In a recent address here before the American Institute of Banking. "It la true that we have had more failures In our banks than In the banks of a number of other countries," coun-tries," be said. "It Is also true that we have had more failures in drug tores, grocery stores, railroads, and in every other type of business enterprise. en-terprise. At the same time, it must be said that we still have left after all our failures, more drug stores, more grocery stores, more railroads and more banks than any other country." People do not realize, he said, that we have In excess of 108 banks which have been In existence over a century and we have more than 2,000 banks which have been In existence over 50 years. "In other words, we have more banks over 100 years of age than any other country we have more banks over 50 years of age than any country la the world," he declared. "The American banking system has not fallen down it Is not in danger of decay. Such failures as it has experienced ex-perienced are due to the price we pay for too rapid development of business enterprises, but that Is the American spirit."

AMERICA'S biggest banker today Is tbe Federal Government which Is now operating fifty-two financing Institutions, says Professor Pro-fessor John Hanna ot Columbia University Uni-versity In the American Bankers Association As-sociation Journal, "Forty of these are owned entirely by the Government," he says. "In twelve more the Government has already al-ready a two-thirds Interest. Thirty-seven Thirty-seven are Intended to be permanent. Twenty-five ot the permanent ones and fourteen ot the temporary ones are agricultural, "The capital stock held by the United States In these banks has a par value ot $1,380,000,000. The Government's Gov-ernment's total Investment is nearly near-ly (2,000.000,000. Resources ot these institutions exceed $3,000,000,000. In addition the Government has detailed de-tailed supervision over fifty-one mortgage banks, operating under Federal charter. "The Government also supervises 4,600 local agricultural loan associations associa-tions with Federal charters. All this takes no account ot the relations ot the Government to the twelve Federal Fed-eral Reserve banks, nor ot the authority au-thority recently given to the Reconstruction Recon-struction Finance Corporation to buy preferred stock In national and state commercial banks." Consolidation Called For The President has ordered the consolidation ot the agricultural credit agencies into the new Farm Credit Administration, says Professor Pro-fessor Hanna. He expresses the opinion that before tbe consolidation consolida-tion ot the agricultural financing agencies too much machinery bad been created to administer the financing Institutions which the ( Government either owns or super ; vises. "Existing Institutions represent a : considerable differentiation ot tuac- : tlon and any consolidation should ; be preceded by a careful survey of the actual activities of the various Institutions," he continues. "The .only consolidation the Administration Administra-tion has announced is that of the agricultural credit agencies In the Farm Credit Administration. As a pernjanent solution this arrangement arrange-ment la too closely bound up with politics."

Lott PI TELEPHONE 23, LEHI umbmg PLUMBING AND HEATING Seating STATE STREET, LEHI On Utah County Farms With Extension Agents SUGAR BEET WEB WORM According to Prof. George F. Knowelton, the sugar beet web worm is best controlled by the use of Paris Green. . Prof. Knowelton, advises ad-vises Paris Green instead of lead arsenate or calcium arsenate. These two poisons are less toxic to the worm, kills more slowly and allows the worm to consume a greater quantity. There has been considerable dam age done by the web worm this year in several counties of the state. Prof. Knowelton says by killing the worms promptly a greater yield of beets is made than the difference In the cost of Paris Green. esnannnnmsaw GRASSHOPPER CONTROL jDrasshoppers are beginning to work in many parts of the county.
