The tidewater business at Hampton Roads continued to increase in the week ended November 24th. The total quantity of soft handled was 342,440 net tons against 328,735 in the week before. The chief factor contributing to the improvement was an increase of 54,557 net tons in cargoes consigned to New England. This was partially offset by a decrease of 32,131 in export tonnage. Anthracite shipments up the lakes increased sharply in the week ended November 25th. According to reports 171,975 net tons were dumped. The principal factor in the improvement was an increase of 29,435 tons in dumpings at Buffalo, N. Y. DYER PROPOSES CHANGES THE VOLSTEAD ACT FOR Christmas has eome once more.

Our hearts are full of thankful joy and holy adoration to the merciful Child of Bethlehem, who, being the eternal beloved Son of the Almighty God has had condescended to be born in en unknown village if humble parentage in the manger ot the animals for our salvation and regeneration. And he that accepts the Child of Bethlehem hath eternal life. But aa many as received Him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on Ilia name, John 1, 12. And the Christmas tree reminds us not of the gorgeous figures with which the aneients ornamented gold, silver or other metallic vessels; hut it brings to our imagination one other tree the beautiful in the sight and sweet in the taste the tree which was in he midst of Paradise! But how much difference between the two ! The tree of Paradise lias been the rause of the curse, the misfortune and the enmity amongst men.

The formation at the bottom of the hole is reported to be sandy in character and it haa been deemed advisable to shot off the water before drilling deeper. Cavey formation in the Woodside test of the Utah Oil Refining company delayed the setting of the string of eight-ine- h casing at a depth of twenty-fiv- e feet. The hnndred and eighty-fiv- e hole filled up about two hnndred feet and it was necessary to drill this out before landing the easing. The easing was landed without mishap and drilling haa been resumed.

Permo-Carbonifero- prob-kbl- er x cowa WI Many matters Hrtaining to the business of tlie niuuieijiality and which niufct of nereiiy be continued by the new officials into the coming year were discussed at the regular meeting of Price city council last Tuesday evening. It liad been expected to have a full representation of the new body present, but two of the new eouneil-nie- n were alisent. J. W. Loofbourow and James E. Alley were on hand, and as A. D. ITadlev is a holdover member, with Charles II. Madsen also continuing as a result of the late election, thia left only C. M. Stringham and A. W. Horsley as absentees. The new treasurer, Sheldon L. Anderson, was an interested spectator. One of the big things for the roming city dads will be to complete the sewer district covering the east aide. The preliminary steps have been taken, the surveys made, tlie map prepared and the owners located and lifted. Sizes of the eonduita have all been calculated, and everything ia ahout ready to get the work before bidders. It may be necessary to go over some of this again, as it ia now thought feasible to combine the sewer project with a drainage district to correct the swampy condition in the part of (lie city east from Fourth and north from Main street. This would be a happy solution for this problem which has liod considerable attention from the council, the chamlier of commerce and the residents of the troubled section. Drain tiles emptying into an enlarged sewer line seems to be tlie plan meeting most favor. A drainage district can be formed similar to a sidewalk or paving one and from present informal ion seems exactly suited to the needs of the people np that way. Then there is the construction of the work so nicely started dnring recent months by which the lighting and watermain systems of the city have been rebuilt, now almost completed, bnt with extensions to both planned for tlm coming summer. Material for considerable work on the waterlines is on hand. Having lieen mayor and on the eouneil in bygone days, "Loofbourow was able to note that the bnsinesa of the municipality haa reached proportions little dreamed of in the old times. The same old table ia still in service they purchased good things while they were at it and the fire truck has given most excellent service even if it is likely to be np to this incoming body to buy a new and bigger one.' Among other things the need of which hasa become so apparent to the city board is an automobile sprinkling wagon. This will be an absolute necessity should the paving be laid on Main street and thats another big wrestle for the new rounriL All of which goes to show that tha honor of being a eity dad furnishes enough real work so that the boys fully earn the ten dollars a month which constitutes a councilmans pay. But one more regular scheduled meeting remains for the present' eonncil However, as the work of revising the city a ordinances must almost of necessity be completed by this bndv, it is likely that several adjourned sittings will be held. Judge F. E. Woods, the city attorney, ia up to his eyes in thia work, and the clarifying of the municipal laws is rapidly shaping up. Suggestions as to needed regulations not freaks will be welcomed from any source while this revision is in process. The fire department has asked for several new provisions, there will he a set of laws to regulate street traffic, a good and workable building ordinance is being put together, and the combining of amendments with dropping repealed sections is carefully looked after. It has been eight years since inch a revision has been made, and as the state laws have underwent many changes, this is an absolute necessity at this time, even if no new ordinances had been passed in the interval, and the citys growth has been snch that the most important of its laws are of recent origin, not included in the hook printed so long ago. Thns the ordinances are difficult of access and application, and must be gathered together in a new volume. Work on the water system has been brought to a rlose for the season. Only regular patrol and necessary attention to troubles will he conducted on the esnyon line during the winter. Even the installation of meters is halted by frozen ground. Purchase of a 10 HAKES TRAHSfTR SO SOW $ street i in the hands of S.

Water eonduita and light ing lines may now be properly run to serve the people living here. During a period of about two years the rtiy has had a free lease on some eoalbearing ground to he northward. Under the terms of tha federal government regulations in sneh eMae this can be eontinued only if Lonefieial use is made of the privilege. It cannot he made into a source of profit either, but must be so operated as to benefit the people in eoal supply and prieea. As no prospects for sudi action ora evident, and as an offer has been mad by parties in Salt Lake City to reimburse the municipality for all expenses so far incurred if the lease will be allowed to lapse, the treasury will bo benefitted to the extent of a hundred and fifty dollars through such action. Under the title of Smiths addi tion twelve eity lota on the west side of Thirteenth street were taken into the eity plat. The tract is already inside the limits of the municipality and is the east part of the IL C. Smith property at the northwest corner of " the eity. The street is given a proper width in platting and these lota will undoubtedly lie occupied by soma of the choice residence properties of tha eity within a i,hort period. City accounts covering the period of the past two years will undergo an audit, as told in a recent issue of The Sun. A Salt Lake City firm of accountants will do this work. It may be that this will go back seven or eight . yearn to the point where the last previous audit was slopped this will ba decided later. But the biennial eheek is necessary under a new state law effective last March. HONEY' PRICE Ifl'BEXNGraONB INTO BY HILLMAN The state department of agriculture through Dan II. Hillman, inspector of apiaries, has begun a survey of tha beekeeping industry to determine the margin of profit in honey at the present market price. Replies from about twenty questionaires sent out indicate product ion rannot be maintained at a fate profit at the present priee of about eight rens per pound. Generally, however, the returns indicate a production cost of lietween 6.5 and seven cents a pound. This would allow a fai waga above depreciation and production, but is not sufficient to give a reasonable profit. The survey follows the movement started by the state agricultural college to encourage fair market production. OIL WELL PROSPECTORS ASKING FURTHER EXTENSIONS The United States land office at Saif Lake City was kept busy all day Saturday last receiving applications from gas and oil prospecting entrymen for extension of time' in which to drilL Many had received extensions previously, the final date being November 30th. A large number urged, in making further application for extension, that while they had not been drilling on their own entries they had been contributing to like activities in a claim in the same structure, and so were concentrating on one place to determine if the structure would produce. Tha applications will be forwarded to tha commissioner of the general land office at Washington, D. C., for consideration. GRAND COMMISSIONERS EASY WITH DELINQUENTS MOAB, Dee. 2.
