UTILITY OF AUTO.

Business In a Car.
The automobile has been utilized In
almost every couceivable way of late.
We have the auto tire euglne and hook
the methods adopted by this company and ladder truck, the auto ambulance,
In doing business, and Indications are 'the aulo henrse, the nuto moving van,
that the government will wage a the auto sightseeing vehicle, and in
prosecution of considerable severity, i cores of ot,1(,r wavs ,in t,le machine

lation wherein the earnings of the
company never were sufficient to pay
a dividend. The stock was sold pure-

output, Jiut goes Into details and tlveness of the wireless telegraph ap

and give you other details. Then he thejnselves in the way" of stock and
will turn to banking and surprise you tbo purchasers of that stock did not
with his knowledge of the Intricate inquire sufficiently Into the business
details of this great branch of busi
ness Mr. Eccles is 61 years of age, hut
Is Just as active as a young man half
his age. . While he Is apparently
wrapped up In his various enterpris
eshe' has plenty of time to enjoy
life. At Austin he entered Into a
Jumping contest with Grant Geddes
and George Stoddard, making them
ashamed of themselves. At another
'station while waiting for the crew to
take on . wood, he participated In a
foot race with Bome children who
were on the car, and one of the con
testants beat him. He would not
rest contented until he had run an
other race and this time he came out
ahead, which gave him great pleasure.
While he Is a man of great wealth
It has not affected him In the least,
for he Is the same as an ordinary
man and his actions do not show any
signs of wealth. He has worked very
hard all his life and still has the
habit.
As an illustration of his big opera
tions, the Utah Construction com
pany, of which he Is president, did
$21,000,000 worth of construction
work for the Western Pacific railroad
In the past year. He Is also president
of the Amlagamated Sugar company,
and of the Lewlston company. He is
president of the First National bank
of Ogderi, of the Ogden Savings hank
and a number of smaller banks. He
Is at the head of the Sumpter Valley
railroad and .the Oregon Lumber com-
pany, and Is a director In the Hood
River railroad. He Is connected with
many Institutions and Is doing a
great deal to build up and develop the
country. He Is man who does
things, and such a man Is deserving
of more credit than the one who ln
vests his money and waits for an ac
tive person to develop the country,
while he sits Idly by and reaps the
benefits of the active man's work
transactions of the corporation.
This Is another illustration appar
ently of the evil of stock manipula
tion. Heretofore this game has been
chiefly confined to Wall street, but the
present example shows that the whole
country has taken hold of it, and
that Wall street Is not the only place
where prices can be raised and low
ered at will. ' '
Robbers Loot Postofficc. '
Prior Creek, Oklahoma, June 18.
Four robbers dynamited the post of
fice and escaped with $4,000 in stamps
and money. They used mail sacks to
deaden the explosion. A posse is pur
suing.
JIT BOWERMAN AS GOVERNOR.
Everyone who enjoys the personal
frnalntance of Governor Benson a
pained to learn that his- health has
failed so that he cannot, for a time at
least, attend to the duties of the gov
cmor s oUVce. There Is a general

however, Is the uuro fruit car.

having saved a few hundred dollars, he
purchased a small car, rebuilt it to
suit, himself and, as shown In the ac
companylng Illustration, now does
business In his machlue.
As this up to date chap can get over
the ground much more rapidly his busi
ness has greatly lucreased, and his en
terprise has attracted much attention.

In Preparing for a journey the telephone per-"
forms a great variety of services. Reservations are
made, last directions are given, good-byes are said,

The Long Distance Service of the Bell SjTstcni

Bell Telephone make a trip unnecessary; sometimes
it convinces him that a trip would be profitable.
"Wherever he goes, he feels the need, of universal
service, and that is Bell Service.
