Whose Monument Is Its

What is all this talk about the new
city and county building being a mon
ument to somebody? 1t happens once
in a while that a generous man builds
"a great structure, and dedicateS it. to
the cause of Christian charity, thereby
earning the right to point to it as his
monument; but public buildings, con-
structed by public consent from public
money, are monuments only to the en-
ergy and the public spirit of the people
Of the day and generation wherein they
are erected; and this is true, even
though here and there upon them are
craven the faces of those who, by rea-
son Of the strange and past-fndlng-out
ways of politics, have for brief season
been delegated to serve the builders in
the capacity of overseers. Having failed
for many years to secure a monument
at public expense, we have undertaken
to construct one with our own money,
out of our own rare location in Pepper
ton Place. 1t is true that perhaps if our
Weather-beaten, storTn-riven, anxiety
craven faces were copied in enduring
granite, it might sometime provoke the
inquiry, What cranks are theseY' But
better and more lasting monument to
us will be the graded streets, fine
homes, and perfect surroundings which
will by and by make Proportion Place
an envied location.

OUR NORTHERN FRIENDS.

There are people, plenty of people in
Idaho. Montana and Wyoming who,
approaching the fact that Salt Lake
city is, and is to be the great center
of the intermountain region, are pre-
pairing to establish permanent homes
here. To these people we extend a
cordial invitation to visit us when they
come to Salt Lake, and see for them
selves how inevitably Popperton Place
is destined to be the first class resi-
dence location. All we ask is an op-
portunity to show it; we won't say a
word; we will let them look at it and
then leave it to them whether any
statement we have ever made about
it is not fully substantiated by per-
sonal inspection. Parties intending to
locate in Salt Lake can now secure
their locations and arrange their pay
ments in such way as will be con-
venient to them. We don't want mon
ey so much as we want good people,
and there are enough good people in
the states we mention to populate a
thousand additions as large as ours.

IN SIMPLE JUSTICE.

Is there not one little piece of soft
stone somewhere upon the exterior
surface Of the great city and county
building out of which may be moulded
the face of the late health commission
er? If there is, let it be done. 1t won't
cost much and there won't be any OBJ
lection to it on the part of the public,
nor will there be anyone who will ask
by what right it is there, because the
people of this city will remember him
and his good works long, long after
the other faces upon the building are
forgotten. Put it down low, near the
entrace so that all may see it; and if
you can get it done, write beneath it
the inscription:
"HE STOOD IN. THE WAY"
If this thing keeps on this town will
be full Of monuments after awhile; but
there will be none more stately or
more appreciated than the monument
of enterprise and courage which the
Denver Syndicate and Investment Co.
are every day building to themselves
in the development of the great resi-
dence location in Popperton Place.
Every year 1t will become more beau
tiful as every year more and more
of Salt Lakes 400 appreciate it's tow
ering advantages and perfect situa-
ton.

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKETS.

chicago, july Il.
WHEAT-There was a very moderate
trade, the price keeping within k0%c.
range. There was free liquidation by
longs, and not much demand outside the
puying by shorts. The weakness was
u u1i largely to the lower cables, the de-
cilne IN outside markets and the .disap-
pO1ntlng exports of the week.
weather abroad was said to be i'm
proving, and this was also a minor fac
lor. Liberal receipts at winter wheat
points, ana talk of prospects of some
KIND of settlement of the elevator
troubles, were influences that cut consid-
eraole OF a figure with the course of
the market. The continued favorable re-
ports where threshing is in progress was
something of factor, showing a much
larger yield than expected. Exports of
wheat and flour were very moderate
25b,OOo bushels. The market grew weaker
again near the closing hour, influenced
by the break at Minneapolis and the lib
eral estimated receipts here for Monday,
401 cars.
CoRN-Quiet, within 9s@1kc. range. The
market was easy with wheat but raj
lied later on light offerings and fair de-
mand.
OATS-Easy, in sympathy with corn,
put nrmed up closing at the top on good
buying and unfavorable Iowa crop re-
ports. The range was 1sc. for September.
PROVISIONS-Ver dull, but steady on
the live hog market. Compared with last
night, September pork and ribs are I'M
changed and September lard 215c. higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

More Cement Coming In.

Cement is now coming in from the
west and by the middle of the coming
week the contractors may be able to
resume operations with full forces.
The second car Of the material reached
the works yesterday morning and four
more cars are expected to come down
from Ogden this morning. The max
ing of the last tests will require several
days but one car will be ready for SER
vice by Monday. Today the engineer
will break the brickettes and the re-
suit of the first test will be made
known to the contractors. The 100 bar
rels contained in the first car will last
over until after the Twenty-fourth and
then the work can again be put in full
blast.
The excavators are working along
without delay and getting long start
of the brick and concrete men. 1t is
estimated that there are still three
weeks more work on the north end of
the system before it will be approx
mately completed.

Computing sidewalk Actual Cost.

The city engineer and his assistants
are figuring up the actual cost of the
ond South streets from State to west
Temple streets, recently completed by
Contractor Harrigan, for the purpose
of arriving at the amount of the re-
bate which will be due the property
owners. It is more than likely, how
ever, judging from the array of figures
now at hand, that there will be no re-
bate, but on the other hand a de-
ficiency which must of necessity be
paid out of the general fund, unless a
Teassessment is made. The cost of the
work has exceeded the amount raised
by the assessment A report will be
made to the council at it's next meet

New York, July 21.-The Kansas Pacific
