Activity in the real estate market is in
ereasing. The demand for prospective
business property on Third South street
leading to the entrance of the proposed
union passenger depot is no less active
than for warehouse sites along Third and
Fourth West streets. and prices are adj
vancing. Wherever it has been possible
to tie up property abutting on or adjacent
to Third South and prospective depot and
warehouse streets. options have been Sc
cured, and real estate agents are actively

Business Ground For Building.

Real estate dealers are busy securing
snap buys for investors, and the indfca-
lions are that several important sales
will be contaminated during this month
and next.
A certain resident of Salt Lake who has
made fortune in Mercur, and in dealing
in stocks on the mining exchange. has
contracted to buy 100000 worth of busi-
ness real estate in the vicinity of Third
South i'd Main streets, and it is authori-
tatively stated that as soon as he secures
title he will make preparations to place
500, 900 worth of improvements on his
land.
Money In Rent Investments.
Another indication of the heaIthful tone
of the realty market is found in the fact
that several home seekers from the min
ing either residence sites to improve or
ready built houses. Many who have sold
their homes on the west side are joining
the procession in seeking residence loca-
tionS on the east side. Not a few who
have made money this year in mining
tention of erecting tenement cottages and
terraces next spring. The higher rents
exacted and the fact of there being few.
il any, vacant houses in the city. have
convinced property owners that good re-
turns on the money invested viii accrue
from building houses for the homeless
ge-earners who are increasing Salt
Lakes population.
With the anticipated commencement of
construction work on the burlington rail-
road extension to this city next spring
and the building of the Southern Pacific
cutoff, assurances will be renewed to
those who have faith that Salt Lake will
take on q new and unprecedentedIy rapid
growth to the destined place of the chief
city between Omaha and San Francisco.

ton the beginning of the war that
swept the flag ana power of Spain from
The lovely isle. lie fell in one Of the
earliest skirInishes Of the war. and was
the first of the great martyrs whose
blood gave Cuba independence.
Maceo was the Stonewall Jackson of
tie Cuban rebellion. He had won the
respect even of Spain by his heroism
and skill as a military leader in the
Ten Years war. ard he fell by the hand
Of an assassin just when the battle OF
Cuban independence became a hopeful;
one. He will rank In history as one of
the few men who have taught the world
that the negro can stand abreast with
The white man in the line of great war
riors.
Garcia, like Maceo. was one of the
great heroes of the Ten Years rebel
lion. and he never bowed to Spanish
authority. Once, when wounded and
unable 10 make his escape from the
Spanish soldiers. he fired his pistol into
his own mouth, the bullet emerging
from his forehead, leaving CHASTITY
