1T Is THE UNIVERSAL VERDICT.
A Denver Man on the Destiny OF
q Salt Lake. fff FL


A HERALD representative yesterday
had chat with Mr.. Henry Apple, at st.
George G. Young's Land Bureau, where
the gentleman is making his head
quarters. Mr.. Apple is the senior MEM
Der of the big Denver real estate firm of
Apple & Hamilton, and he is in Salt
Lake on 8 "looking round" mission-a
number of his clients having serious
thoughts of investments out this way.
He came to Denver in 1879. and went
through all the big boom that Colorado
took upon herself till 1884; breasted the
heavy lull which succeeded till 1886,
and is now on the high wave OF pros
perity which has been mounting
there, ever since that time. Mr..
Apple is therefore in a posi-
ton to know something about
booms. their origin, nature and at
tributes and the kind of soil in which
they will best take root.
"Things are very dull in Omaha.
Kansas City and the other boom towns
on the coast" said Mr.. Apple, You
only hear two places talked about any
where-one is Denver, the other Salt
Lake. In Denver matters keep up as

money tight, because everyone is buy
ing real estate. Our firm used to, have
a dozen places where we could go and
get anywhere from S. 600 to $50 600 and
100000 for customers, but those
avenues are all closed up now, and the
lenders have become borrowers-they
all want more to put into real
estate. I have only been two
days in Salt Lake. but 1 am
more than charmed by what 1
see-and I've got the lake still to come.
You have everything essential here for
one of the finest cities in the United
States, and I've not the least doubt you
will grow to one. You appear to me
now TO be in much the same condition
that We were in 1879. Before that time
Denver had been dead for ten years,
and the new live element that came IN
there and undertook to galvaniZe her
into life had plenty of opposition to
meet with from the old residents, the
pioneers-mossbacks, we called them.
They were opposed to improvements,
and wouldn't sell to the newcomers.
| But we gradually got them converted,
| and they've been growing batter and
better ever since, till now all Denver
| D lis together like one man. Cultivate
harmony above all things. Then you
/ want public improvements, and I'm
glad to see you have tackled sewerage,
and that our very capable and efficient
engineer, Mr.. LoWrie, has been over
here to help you along"
| Mr.. Apple said there was the most
cordial feeling in Denver towards Salt
Lake. particularly in business circles.

Der of Commerce to that in Salt Lake.
| THE TERRACE HEIGHTS SALE.
The auction sale of Terrace Heights
lots attracted q large crowd to the
Opera House last night ,smany of whom
attended out of curiosity, although
BUYERS were numerous. The Sixteenth
Infantry band rendered several selec-
tions, after which Auctioneer Eastor
made an interesting speech, showing
the favorable outlook for our city.
The sale was satisfactory, the total
for the evening footing up about
$l2 600. TIE buyers were princi-
ally from Los Angeles, and Denver
as well IS Salt Lakers. The owners Of
Terrace Heights express themselves q;
we'll pleased with the result, and vii
now devote their attention to improy-
ing the property.
Mr.. Easton and his party leave fol-
San Francisco to-day. They express
themselves as much pleased with oul
city. The party is composed of the fol
lowing persons: Wendell Easton anl
