Lethargy in building has had its sleep,
and with the occasional bursts of sunshine
from treacherous sky there appear in the
building horizon the fine designs of stately
business blocks that will shortly con tribute
their massive fronts TO fill out many of the
ragged places on our business thorough
fares
The Brigham Young Trust company is
foremost to pay out its treasures to the
stone-mason. brieklayer, carpenter, plas-
terer, plumber and lumber merchant, and
in this way contribute to the general pros
perlty. Already the Brigham Young
Trust building on Commercial street has
shown vigorous grow tn, and two stories
OF the structure begin to reveal in stately
iron columns the completed grandeur of a
noble edifce. 1t will be four stories high
and the finest building on the street.
The plans and preparations for the build
ing to be erected on Second South street at
the corner of Market street, have made
good progress under the able direction of
Architect Kletting, who is the author of a
good share of The finest business blocks in
the city.
Henry Dinwoodey, who last year erected
the fine structure which he now occupies
with his furniture store, will join the Brig
ham Young trust by building on the front
age he owns on. First South street This
will give the Young Dinwoodey building a
total frontage of lG9 feet and it will be q
decided improvement over the shabby old
frames that now disfgure Market row.
There seems TO be no end to Henry Din
Woodey's public enterprise and he has the
K hNr 49,
very handsome residence on First South
street, on lot opposite the new Congrega-
tional church. This will cost stmewhere
from ST. 900 to $4,000 and is of q very
pretty architectural design.
Another residence that, while not as ex-
penslve as the Dinwoodey, will be cred
liable Improvement to Second South street.
Will be the one which Herman Briss cher is
about to erect between Third and Fourth
East streets.
Spencer Clawson, the wholesale dry
goods merchant, is also in the building
mood and will fill the gap on the east side
of Main street, between Goldsmith sand
the Hooper-E'dredg block, with a very
substantial three-story block. The stone
front is OF strikingly handsome design.
Inc plans were prepared by r. KletIing
The West Side association met YESTERDAY
afternoon at the Office of E. w. Taylor, in
the Commercial block, to listen to the
proposition of T. a. Dunshee who was
sent east by the association for the purpose
OF inducing manufacturers to come to this
city.
Mr.. Dunshee secured proposition of an
old established firm to place glass plant
in this city to employ ut least a thousand
men and that they would want guaranteed
them the sum of 500, GOO and twenty acres
OF land. The company appointed com
mlttee to act in con- nncuon with CON-
mittee of the West Side assc-
citation. The West Side association,
after considering the proposition,
appointed committee consisting OF
7. A. Dunshee, c. d. WaptIand Henrv
Cole and E. W. Taylor 10 wait upon the
chamber of commerce and ask that body to
cooperate.
The object of the committee will be to
communicate with the eastern parties and
TO induce them to come here to look the
field over, Tho committee guaranteeing
them their expenses.
The fact that this city can furnish the
necessary materials which go into the man
ufacture OF glass, consisting of soda, caus-
tic soda, sand, potash and natural gas with
suitable ire clay, the chances look very IA
vorable for securing this valuable indus
try. IL is believed that the committee will
be fayorably impressed with the surround
ings
Nu 4uuusliy Contributes as mucl TO the
population and wealth Of the city as manu-
facturies and the securing of plant giving
employment to 1.000 skilled laborers means
5000 additional population to the city.
The 100000 advanced 10 the firm will not
be lost, as it will be paid out in wages dur
ing the first month, and will soon find its
way back into the pockets of the givers. as
the glass men make big wages and spend
them freely.
The eastern parties who make this pro-
position are reliable business men with the
necessary money and experience to sue
cessfully carry out their proposition.
A mandatory employing 1000 hands is
unknown to this western country To get
at the real significance of this acquisition
to our manufacturing industries it is bat
necessary TO figure up the number of men
employed by twenty OF our leading fac
tories and the aggregate will be far short
OF 1000 hands. Indeed, it is questionable
whether 1000 persons are now employed in
all the factories of this city, and if such is
the case this one stroke would double the
