Great Influx of People and Capital
From the East.
Utah is Just now the mecca towards
which the faces of prospective eastern
investors are turned, and within the
next month or two this territory will
be visited by several hundred home
seekers and people with idle capital
seeking investments. The daily mails
of the prominent operators in real
estate are filed with anxious inquiries
pm the east as to the prospects of
y future of the state of Utah and
~ ACCESSIBILITY of placing money in
Y. nds, Stocks bonds and other securi
titles. The answers are always couched
in encouraging terms, although the
gentlemen are endeavoring to hold
down their enthusiasm to within the
bounds of reason and the inquirers are
receiving legitimate advertising Of the
unlimited resources of this territory.
In fact. the operators do not find it
necessary to deal in eXaggera lions.
The truth. plain and simple, is suffi-
cient to attract and chain the atten-
ton of any person looking for a place
to invest his money.

EXPECT SUGAR TO ADVANCE.
RSGners Arc Getting Behind in
Their Orders.

RAiners Are Getting Behind in
Their Orders.
YbolesaIers are now. looking for a
Gsharp advance in the price of sugar,
although the threatened raise has not
as vet given any indications of its
annroach. The dealers base their opin-
ion upon the fact that the new tariff
act removes the bounty but places an
import duty upon the foreign article.
In order to get in on the deal the re-
finers will. without doubt send the
price of the article up to the amount
of the tariff or very nearly that
amount. IT is also stated that both the
western and eastern refineries are be-
hind in their orders and there is a
threatened scarcity of this most
important article Of commerce.
Except during the short period
when the Lehi factory is in
s operation the western pool of refiners

$<fons shortly before the middle of the
coming month and it is then expected
: that there will be some cutting in
prices.
Considerable discussion has been in
dulged in regarding the effect of the
passage of the tariff bill upon this one
of Utahs infant industries, and the
claim has boldly been made that the
company would be irreparably injured
by the withdrawal of the bounty clause.
Such rs not the case, however, for the
factory will be in operation before the
middle of the coming month and the

Agthough the local markets are fair

pork products have been advancing
during the past few days and the in
crease in prices has now marked half

Massachusetts uses comes from across
the ocean and costs at the ports $50
per ton. Freight to the mills added
brings its cost up very high. 1t would
seem that the railroads could enter in
to some sort of a contract whereby they

would leave profit for the owner of
the beds and thus increase their own
business. * sample of the earth has

lit not been for the fact that the Sewer
|county list was in the hands of the
county clerk for correction the board
would have been prepared to proceed
with the consideration of the reports
and make any changes deemed neces-
sary. The report from Sewer was re
|ceived on time, but upon investigation
it was found that there were some err
rors in 1T and the papers were sent
back for correction. 1t will be the end
of the week before Mr.. Sowles calls
another meeting of the board.
Although the board has not settled up
on the action to be taken regarding the
valuations placed upon the property
by the various assessors, it seems very
probable that there will be no radical
changes made in any of the rolls and
nearly all of the reports will be APP
proved. AT least this is the word which
has been sent out to one or two of the
collectors for the larger counties and
the work of sending out tax notices is
proceeding already.

sed the highest point reached by the

the times and conditions that the pro-

is generally conceded, however, that

POLLOCK ON BIMErALL1sM.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Alexander L.
Pollock, consul at San Salvador, writ
ing under date of July %, to the state
department, says official notice has
been given that while heretofore 20 per
cent of the duties have been paid in
gold and so in silver, that now the
duties have been divided equally be-
tween the two metals. The consul
says that on the face of it the change
would be Of advantage, but in reality
it is not, because the rate of exchange
has gone up since the decree prohibit
ing the importation of silver has been
abolished, and the value of $50 in gold
is now the same in value as $40 before

good house. 'Reilly and the 4OO'' is a
great go and met with continuous ap-
pause from beginning to end. The
nrst act is laid in pawn office with
Willy Reilly presiding and an Cppor-
tunity is given for the introduction of
an olla-podrida of the perlieus of New
York. The butcher, the baker and the
candleStick maker successfully appear,
each being a character drawn from
near the corner of Grand street and
the Bowery and they are clear cut from
lie. In the midst of all the life and
go OF Reilly and the 400 there is a.
trace of plot and purpose, but after all
1t is principally the vehicle on which
ride the fun, humor and melody that
Harrlgan knows so we'll how to gather
together. Many of the sayings and
situations originally presented in this
piece nave been appropriated by other
companies and the songs composed or
arranged for Harrigan by Dave Bra
ham have become familiar through oft
repetition. Maggie Murphys Home
for instance, so sWeetly sung by little
Emma Pollock, is known all over
America and with it's celebrated
Bowery dance has been Incorporated
into many farcical comedy and
speciality performance. Still, it is well
to get these things from headquarters,
and however much fldttery lies in
imitation, the public likes to know that
lit is witnessing a rendition by the
originals. That is what they get from
Harrigan and his company every time
The play for tonight is "Cordelia's
Aspirations" 1t has been given here
once before, years ago, and those who
saw it have scarcely quit laughing
since. 1t is the broadcast Irish piece yet
presented and is simply one howl from
beginning to end. 1t does not excel in
pathos, yet it has been known to cause
tears TO flow freely and handkerchiefs
should be brought. Mr.. Harrigan as
the down-trodden and hen-pecked nus
band of the aspiring COrdelia, and his
subsequent revolt and triumph make
fun enough for one night, and the at
tendance for the rest of the engage
ment will probably continue to be good.

The secretary of the interior has de
cided that all desert land entries will
in future be made at the rate of s1.25
an acre, irrespective of the locations,
whether or not they be in the limits
of the railroads.
This reduces the price of land in rail-
road limits from $3.50 to SIPS an acre
and parties who have made desert
land entries within these limits, paying
so cents an acre at the time of the ap-
plication, instead of the former price
of So, will be required to pay the
balance of rs cents.
