NOT MUCH TIME GIVEN.
Territorial board of Equalization
Will Not Meet Until Next Week.

There will be no meeting of the ter
ritorial board of equalization next
Tuesday. This decision has just been
reached by the president of the board
who named the 9th as the date of
meeting instead of the goth, as was
first mentioned. This delay will en-
able all of the delinquent county clerks
to get their reports in before the
board is called to order. These state
ments should have all been in by the
middle of the present month, accord
ing to the revenue laws of the terri
tory, but there are still nine counties
which have not been heard from. The
delinquents are being rustled up and
in the event of their continuing the
present silence, forcible means may be
made use OF by the board. It is not
the rich and heavily populated coun-
ties that are behind but the small dis
tricts which should have been reported
long before the middle of the month.
As has been before stated, the total
assessed valuation of the territory will
show somewhat of a decrease over
that of the previous year. This is made
plain by the reports w itch have been
received thus far. Most of these show
a decrease in the assessment, although
there are few which are on the other
side of the fence.

the face of heavy withdrawals of gold
drom the sub-treasury for shipment to

This was due to the belief that the bond
syndicate would deposit ia the sub-treas-
ury gold in sufficient amount to keep the
gold reserve above 500 600 This conf
tlence was not misplaced, for before the
close of business the syndicate made such
d deposit. Trading was less active tnan

bscco was prominent in the transactions,

PURCHASED MORE ACREAGE.
Z. III. Airs, of the Mcrcur, Shows
His Faith in Salt Lake City.

E. H. Airs, one of the heavy own
ers in the Mercur, has added to his
real estate holdings in this city. He
yesterday purchased another tract of
land in the vicinity of Oakley, lying
just north of the Roberts tract of
thirty acres, which he recently pur-
chased for $4,000. This second tract
is the Chandler property and consists
of four acres. The purchase price was
$500 per acre.
1t is the intention of Mr. Airs to
add the Chandler tract to the Roberts
property and plat the two under the
name of Oakley Plat 3. The ground
is admirably located for residences.
and the manner in which Oakley and
the adjoining section is building up.
carries out the recent prediction that
the northwestern portion of the city
near the river will become one of the
most desirable residence sections with
in comparatively short time. Mr.
Airs is certainly showing his faith in
the future of the city in the most sub
stantial manner possible. He evidently
does not believe in allowing his divi-
dends from the Mercur to accumulate
in idleness.

AFTER GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.
Six Utah Mills Want to Furnish
Flour to Uncle Samuel.

Six Utah Mills Want to Furnish
Flour to Uncle Samuel.
Another competition for government
flour contracts is now on and six of the
milling companies of the territory are
competing. The total amount of bread
stuffs included is $4,000 pounds, of
which 10000 is to be high patent and
the remainder straight grade. Bids
were opened at Fort Douglas yester-
day morning by the post quartermas-
ter. The usual amount of the -four is
TO be sent on to Duchesne and the re-
nainder held at the local post. Each
of the bids was accompanied by ten
pound samples of the flour to be fur
nished, and tests were made during
the day by the army bakers. 1t is
anticipated that the award of con-
tracts will take place within the next
day or two.
As before stated, there were six bids
submitted, each of them, with one eX-
ception, covering both the Fort Doug
las and Fort Duchesne contracts. All
were comparatively low, the range be-
ing very slight. Much will depend mp
on the results of the tests made by
the bakers. The bids were as follows:
Vernal mills, for -four furnished at
Duchesne only, $2.52 for patent, and
S2.43 for straight grade; Layton Mill
ing and Elevator company, Fort Doug
las -four, S1.40 and S1.55; Duchesne. de-
livered at Salt Lake, $1.45 and $160:
Smithfield Milling company, Fort
