We are just now indulging in boom in
real estate. Capitalists from the four
winds are drifting here and no day passes
without thousands of dollars worth of
property exchanging hands.
BUSINESS PROPERTY
especially is in big demand. 1t IS selling at
from 1925 per foot in the west end to $500
foot near the Union block. Residence
property is not so high comparatively but
sells fast within half mile from the centre
at from 500 to $3.50 a rod Many pieces
of property have doubled and some trebled
in value in six months, and still some
say prices are not high yet.
This Sylvan city" is most desirable
spot for home. The admirably laid off
blocks and streets; the rich pl oductive
soil; the nearness to whole mountains of
coal; the limitless water supply (which
can be secured either from the Timpanogas
river, or from subterranean reservoris);
the fact that it is the county seat and also
the seat of the First district court: the
bright and salubrioCs climate; the hun

street. They erected the elegant residence
for Mrs. NJ. M. Barratt, which is acknowl-
edged by the building prof ssion to be some
thing simply extraordinary even for Salt
Lake city. Many and important are the
first-class business and residence struc-
lures which have been built by them, but
the mention of the two above tells it all.
In monumental and marble work the firm
have done some of the finest ever attempted
in this territory. They stand to-day, as
they always have, at the head in this line
of busines SIS. They were the first to intro
duce into this region what is known as the
Merriman gang saw, and now run the larg-
est one in the territory. AS the buzz saw
in planning mill rips the log into small and
smooth pieces, so does the Merriman do the
same thing with the toughest of stone.
The Watson Brothers make speciality of
furnishing wood, iron, slate and marble
flooring, and art tiles of every description.
They have in this itself an excellent bust
ness, and many indeed are the elegant
homes which possess handsome CRATE and

paper, bright and spicy sheet, one semi

of another daily in the early part of the
new year. A society paper, called To,Un

periodicals issued from and edited in
Provo.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
which was organized in 1887, la:ely held its
annual election, at which consid
cradle enthusiasm was exhibited. The
chamber is now in tirst-class working
order, and has the best good of Provo at
heart. 1t is made up of such solid men as
the Judge and Mayor Dusenberry, George
Sutherland, S. S. Jones, W. H King. Will
liam Probert, R. H. Dodd, Richard Brer-
ton, Reed Smoot, w. r. Pike, James Dunn
and many others of equal stability
1t is worthy of comment that
in Provo there is less of the
rabid animosity between the contending
political factions than in any other city of
similar status in the territory. That is,
politics is not carried into business and
social circles so much. All are united in
pulling strong for the welfare of ALL

DIFFICULT CASES.

For getting difficult cases through the
land department, Messrs. Stayner and Sim
mons, of this city, deserve high commenda-
ton.
Mr.. Charles w. Stayner, of this firm,
who is now in Washington, has lately sue
ceeded in removing all distractions from
some of the most difficult suspended cases
in his hands. Settlers in Idaho as well as
Utah have been greatly benefited by his
services, and his long experience gives him
great advantages in presenting the merits
of his cases TO the officers and clerks in
charge. AS Mr.. Stayner will remain east
for several weeks yet. parJles having diff
ticulty with their land entries, or whose
patents are delayed, should address him at
once, so that he can give such matters his
personal attention while there. His ad-

The incoming year will surely be noted
for the immense amount of building done,
and many will be the standing and credit
able remembrance of Watson Brothers
when the year will have come to an end.
1t is said that words are the only things
which last forever, but such ''works" of
these gentlemen as have been named ought

their praises

and muscle, often fourteen and fifteen
hours per day, throughout the year, for
nothing. He is under heavy expenses,
which are not counted by the average
farmer, who concludes that if bushel Of
wheat is bought for 70 cents and sold for
so cents, there is a clear profit of 5 cents,
but this is by no means the case.
Having said, perhaps, sufficient with re-
ference to our farming interests and pro-
ducts, let US pause to consider the benefits
that we have received from the enterpris-
ing minds that have built our great rail
roads and brought US into close communi-
cation with the outside world. Were it not
for them, Utah to-day would be an isolated
place, knowing but little of the great com
mercial transactions of the busy world. 1t
is to the railroad that we owe our rapid
development and commercial Importance.
1t is the railroad that has made Salt Lake
city centre of trade and great distribut-
ing point; still there are some things that
the business men of Salt Lake should stop
to consider, and ask themselves the follow
ing queries, ''Why should we pay as much
freight for a car load of barley shipped
IrOH mere TO SU. Louis as IL the same naQ
been shipped from San Francisco. or, why
should Salt Lake merchant pay as much
from San Francisco to Salt Lake as if the
destination of car of goods was Denver3
or, why should we pay the same rate of
freight on every car of merchandise that is
brought here from the east as if that mer-
chandise were hauled to the Pacific coast,
q dicto Of SOn r,;Iac
THESE ARE QUESTIONS
that the business men of our growing city
shou thoroughly discuss, and if there is a
remedy for this seeming injustice il should
be brought to light, as cheaper rates into
and out of our territory would give US
greater area for our iobbing trade, and we
earnestly believe that were uniform rate
charged in proportion to the distance
freight is hauled, the increase in trade
would amply repay the railroads for the
concessions made.
In reviewing the commercial transactions
of the past and Judging the future thereby,
the prospects are encouraging, and we will
enter upon the new year of 1890 with a
more brilliant prospect than ever before

The Pioneer Contractors and Builders of
Utah Territory.

This firm are the leading and foremost
builders and contractors of Utah, as the
amount and description of the buildings
they have erected will show. Their name
may truly be said to be "house'-hold
word in this community, at least that por-
ton of it which is given to building. The
most handsome and substantial business
blocks and elegant residences in the city
bear the imprint of this firm, and stand as
monuments to their taste, ability and square
dealing. 1t was they who built up Fort
Douglas in 1875 and 1876, and it is they
who are now building that most hand

also. The extension of the Union Pacific south
westward from Milford to Los Angeles makes
Provo the midway point for all people going to
the coast over the Denver s. Rio Grande. The
extension will open up for development the rich
and inexhaustible silver deposits of southeast
ern Nevada, and Provo's products grains, veg
etables and meats will find a larger market, as
southeastern Nevada is region Of hills, devoid
of agriculture Then, again, the necessities of
the very near future imperatively demand that
road be built southwark from Provo and tap the
rich southern counties now having no railroad
facilities We have no doubt that in very few
years there will be built in Provo one of the
finest union depots in the west. There is much
room in Provo for more factories; a tannery
shoe factory another wooden mill, and smelters
of all kinds, as the raw materials are abundant
and shipping facilities are becoming better every
year. In less than five years Provo will be a
larger city than Ogden.
Yes; no doubt Provo will soon be larger
than Ogden, and better, too. Education
ally and morally, Provo claims to be in the
van. Utah county has long been called the
banner county of the Territory in educa-
tional matters.

BE PROPERLY CLASSIFIED

in order that the highest market price may
be realized by the toiling hands that pro-
duced it. Our barley is preferred above
all others, not only at home but also in
eastern markets, but it must be No. 1. AS
illustrative of the above, the facts of case
may be stated just as they recently occur
red in Salt Lake city. A sample of barley
was sent to one of our leading breweries,
and an order given for carload at 81 35
per hundred. When the car arrived it fell
short OF the sample received, and was
promptly refused. Switching charges had
been paid from the depot to the brewery
and had to be paid back again, when the car
was turned over to one of our local grain
dealers to be disposed of to the best ad-
vantage, as it would not pay to ship it back
to the originating point After a delay of
some two or three weeks, this same barley
which would have brought the above
figure had it been loaded in accordance
with the sample, only brought from IS
cents to so cents per hundred, after making
deductions for the necessary expenses
We now come to another point in the
transaction. Does the farmer or shipper
stop to think of the injury he is infiicting
upon the public by his carelessness.

OUR OATS ALSO ARE A STAPLE


production. While oats are to-day being
imported from the east to supply the pre-
sent demand, our Utah oats, if properly
cleaned, will bring from 10 to 20 per cent.
more than any that have yet been imported.
But a serious objection has been raised
against them on account of an obnoxious
weed, called ''wild OATS" being allowed to
grow with the crop. This our farmers
should strenuously guard against, as much
of our Utah oats has been condemned on no
other ground.
Some few years ago our hay was consid-
cred strictly as local product, but to-day
it is baled and sent to distant parts with as
much facility as our grain, and is fast be-
coming one of our principal articles of COM
merce. The shipper may send to distant
parts of the territory for several cars of
straight timothy hay. Can he procure it
as ordered. Seldom, if ever. By little
iudicious sampling, the hay coming from a
meadow, may be put into two stacks, one
of which shall contain none but the very
best. This can be put upon the market as
No. hay, whereas if tits all piled together,
the whole stack will only pass for second
grade hay. Again,
UTAH is NOTED
for the superior quality of her potatoes,
and in order that this reputation may not
be forfeited, it behooves our farmers to
look with care after this, one of their best
paying crops. There should be three grades,
large, medium, and small or seed, and no
car should contain anything but lis own
grade.
Another serious matter stares the farmer
in the face, and it is that we are not free
from importations. The farmer may be
led to think that because the supply in any
direction may fall short of the demand,
any price asked may be easily realized.
But ne should remember that in these days
of rapid transit and cheap freight rates it
is an easy matter to supply our markets
with all the necessaries and even luxuries
and comforts of life at reasonable figures,
yet not so cheap that the farmer at home
cannot successfully compete with his pro-
ducts. On the matter of shipping thor
ough understanding should be brought
about between producer and shipper.
