The lack of early Tains is' causing consternation, as it presages a great shortage in the com crop and affects unfavorably other lines of production. In response to a petition from consumers, the Jefe Politico of the Department of Guatemala, with offices in this city, is arranging, it is reported, to order by cable a large supply of com from the United States. This action is said to have the also of preventing exorbitant prices by speculative grain deal-- . ers. The price of com which had remained fairly constant for a year, .was about $1.70 gold per 100 pounds on May 1, 1912.' On June 1 it had advanced to about . $2.80 per 100 pounds.

During this period the road carried 150,400,000 passengers an average distance of 42 miles. In the last three years and four months but one passenger was killed through derailment or col lision on- - the Union Pacific. There were 27,900,000 passengers carried during that time. Rail breakage has been reduced to a minimum by the introduction of the standard rail Steel ears are replacing wooden cars ever the entire Harriman Sys-teand automatic Jblock..$ignals will soon be in operation over every part of the lines. The inspection of the rails as they are manufactured, originally inaugurated by the Harriman lines, has had mueh to do with the making of this safety record, and several other roads in this country have recently started similar inspection methods. There is one way to reduce the fatality record on American railroads and that is to pass laws that will prevent treepassing o nthe rights of way.

The students came better prepared for their work and the equipment and the other facilities of the Summer School were better organized to meet the needs of the students, A submitted to the students to secure suggestions for the improvement of the school brought in expressions of the greatest satisfaction. A distinctive addition to the Summer School was the School of Library Science under .the charge of Mrs. Karen M. Jacobson, Professor II. R. Driggs, and Miss Esther Nelson. In this school were librarians representing the libraries of Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, Garland, Brigham, Tooele, Murray, Eureka, . Lehi, Price, Vernal, St. George, Ceder City, and elsewhere, The significance of the work done is that in these libraries and elsewhere in the state have been planted the standards of the American Library Association under which the school was-- , conducted. The school will be extended and improved for next-yea- r with opportunities which will attract thosce who have already been in the school back work and which will also bring to the school representatives of the twelve or fifteen libraries of the state not this year represented. Other plans for the Summer School for next summer, already well under way," are associated with the convention of the National Education Association which will be held in Salt Lake City during the session of the Summer School. Under the ordinary conditions which have prevailed the Summer School has been in size and in the variety and excellence of its work among the first three or four summer schools in the country. With the impetus of the presence . here of 10,000 or so teachers from .outside the state the. Summer School of the Unlyer&ity ought in 1913 to take first rank among the summer schools of the counTwo thousand students try. have been predicted. BIG ATTENDANCE EXPEC-- x TED AT T. M. CONGRESS ques-tionai- 1 Wm, Bain, wife and little ones made a short trip to Downey recently . They went on business g, y- we - 0. re Salt Lake City, Approximately 3,000 delegates are expected to attend the coming session of the Commercial Trans Mississippi in this city Aug. Congress Many of the delegates will be accompanied by members of the ir families and it is safe to estimate on a crowd of more than . 5, COO from all sections of the country. Much good is certain to accrue" to Utah as a result of this convention, This is guaranteed by the ex perience of Seattle in 1903 when the first session of the Congress to be held in the Northwest convened in that city. It is a matter of record in the offices of the railroad companies that 7,000 tickets were 'sold to persons presumably-attendi- ng "the 'Congress. - Only about half of the number used their return passage coupons, the 27-3- 0. others preferring to reuiaia in the Northwest. The many attractions and advantages of the state as a place of residence will decide many oi the Congress visitors to make their homes in Utah of to invest money here. |
