The real estate transactions for the
past week amounted to $156 BAL. There
were fifteen transfers on Monday, ag-
gregating$ Sill ,452.
OF course, the idea is an absurd one,
and the receipt of such letters only pro-
woke smile of derision, but communica-
tons are almost daily received in this
CITY, announcing the intention OF the
writer's to either come to this city to
reside permanently, or to invest heavily
after the inauguration OF Mr.. Harri-
son. Dealers generally express them
sslves as being well satisfied with the
condition of the real estate market. 1t
is gradually Frightening and improv-
ing, and the prospects were never
better. There is lack of the wind
that blew through so many dealers
whiskers last spring. however, for all of
which we may we'll be truly grateful.
Plans for the building to be erected
on the site of the old Salt Lake House
are on exhibition at the office of Auer-
bach & Bro. 1t will be of six stories
and in appearance will be equally as
handsome as the Scott = Ausr6acb
structure.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Interest in the annual NEE ting Of the
stockholders of the Chamber of Com
merce is on the increase, and there is
no doubt but there will be big turn
out tomorrow evening There are
about thirty delinquent members, and,
with the idea of obtaining the
views of some of these and ascertaining
why they had allowed themselves
to fall in arrears, a number were
were seen yesterday by HERALD repre-
sentatives, One or two OF these had
come to the conclusion that they would
pay up and thus acquire right to vote
at the coming meeting, others said they
were dissatisfied with the actions of
those in charge of the Chambers affairs,
in the past, but if new blood were in
fused into the concern at the coming
meeting, they would be glad and would
feel it duty they owed the community
as VIGIL 6S LuculSclfCo w SOAAO OhSS
more within the folds.
! Several of the active members, whose
| fees are paid up were also seen with
a view to obtaining the feeling on their
side of the house. Prominent among
these was Henry W. Lawrence and his
views are generally concurred in by
the others seen. Mr.. Lawrence thought
that the members, delinquent or other
wise, should come together at the
meeting on Thursday night and have
g. good talk upon the situation. He
thinks the business men of the town
should rally to the support of the
Chamber and do all in their power to
iufuee new life into it. There should
be general stirring up and when we
! find out where We stand, we should
go ahead If we find that
we can't do much, we should
60 ahead and do little, but whatever
is done should be done with q push.
There was good deal of energy in the
Chamber last spring. and we would like
to see it revived. Unless the business
men of Salt Lake are willing to support
the institution it should be dropped.
All those approached thought that
the Chamber had done much good In
the past and would do much good IN
the future if it is property managed.
Mr.. Lawrence looked for much prosper
ity during the present year and for two
or three years to follow, and he did not
think the Chamber should delay It's
work. Show people that we have con-
fideuce in our own Territory, and tney
will begin to have it too.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Chamber of Commerce will take lew
lease on life tomorrow night, and begin
another era of energetic push.
THIS YEAR FAIR.
No less than nine months hence, we
are to have another fair in Utah. Much
will have to be done before that time
The farmer will have to plant; the
gardener will have to look after his
flowers and shrubbery; the agricultural
ist will look after the cereals; the
artisan will be preparing something
the mechanic will prepare some OF his
handiwork; the inventor will have his
: invention ready and the ladies will be
at work at odd times preparing some
thing TO: the fair. The stockman mus
have time wherein to prepare his stock
. and l will say right here that there il
no time to ST to get ready in. Ii
order that we may KNOW just Wudb VIZ
are doing, the classification and price
list should be published now. This veal
r we should have first and second prize:
/ at least, so that man can have tbs
satisfaction Of knowing that he has the
second best, if he has not the best.
Last year there were some lmper
r fections and omissions, mainly TO
r the want of time; now we hav
time. In the horse department
there can be many change
made for the better. First. each bree(
of horses should have its own class t.
r compete with; We should not have
, Clydesdale and a moDgrel to compete
e and then have committee who onl.
