NEED MORE PEOPLE.
I am aware that the same kind Of
people who object to speculation be-
aus they fear h subsequent head
ache, also object to the rapid growth Of
the city because they argue thai there
will be nothing for the added popula-
ton to do. | remember that ten years
ago, when Salt Lake was budding and
unfolding and blooming like an Amer
lean Beauty rose, these same people
were worrying about what we were to
do to sustain the increased population;
but / have never heard of any of them
starving to death, or of any being very
hungry. except, perhaps, some of the
real estate men, whose feed has been
at times a little SHORTCUT then o
know, according to some peoples esti-
matte, they don't count for much of
anything anyway.
The local real estate market is al
ready showing marked signs of i'm
provement. Several large transactions
in business property have recently been
made, and the demand for good resi-
dences and building sites is much
greater han it was six months ago.
This is due, in a measure, to the fact
that, for the first time in the history
of the city, some of the men who have
made fortunes in Utah are investing
here, rather than elsewhere.
Messrs. Keith, Kearns and others
all honor to them,-have CONTRACTED
this habit, and the indications are that
it will become general. A considerable

gold, silver, copper and lead for the

to be conservative, more often being
under than over the truth, as later
ascertained when the statistics from al
sources are compiled and finally re-
vised. Here is the skeleton statement
for Utah for 1897 and 1898:

RISE OF MINING STOCKS.

This we are going to have 1t has
already set it. Contrast the mining
stock market of this city now with
what it was ninety days ago, and see
what you will see. Then stocks were
away down; now they ave gone sky
ward. Then a little band of brokers
huddled together at the daily call ana
whistled to keep up their courage; now
they are falling over each other to buy
seats on the exchange for $500 and
more, and their name is legion. Then
the crowds passed the bulletin boards
with hardly a glance; now hundreds
yes, thousands-of men and women,
every day devour them with their hum
cry eyes.
Here are some interesting figures:
On Dec. 81, 1897, thirty-three Utah min
ing stocks, listed and unlisted. were
called on the local exchange, and the
selling price of the mines represented
by these stocks, as determined by the
bids and sales of that day, was So
702, 7EO.
On Dec. 10, 1S9S-eleven and one-half
months later-the same stocks were
called, and the selling prices of the
thirty-one mines represented by them
had increased to ST.. 035, 500. an advance
in the selling values of Z 1882. 750-an
increase in less than n year of 20
per cent How Is lnaI. Ism Ii a pne-

any such a record has been made else
where in the United States in mining
stocks during the same period? The
figures in detail are given in

The Columbia Herald, speaking OF
the political outlook for 1900, says
The political contest in 1900 in the
United States will be between two
parties. There will not be room for
a third. The struggle will be between
the democratic and the republican
party. The democratic party will
represent the opposition to trusts, to
Imperialism, to a gold standard
The republican party will advocate
trusts, imperialism, gold standard.
Upon these issues the campaign will
be joined. The voters may take
their choice. In such a contest the
third party is useless A vote for the
third party nominee will count for
nothing. 1t will be worse than
thrown away.

Obituary..

In loving memory of Frank Bewley
whose sad death occurred Dec. 4, at
4 O'Clock p. IN. Frank was born in
this county Nov 8, 1878, and resid-
ed here until his death. He
leaves a mother, four sisters and
three brothers to mourn their loss.
He was a member of the Baptist
church. devoted christian and faith
worker for Christ, always ready to
lend helping hand in sickness or in
need. His mortal remains were con-
signed to the silent grave in the
Cloud cemetery to await the dawn OF
day when the glory of the coming
Lord will shine around his resurrect-
ed form and his life will be eternal.
We speak to those regarding him:
while you have the sympathy of the
entire community, go to God for
comfort. He alone will heal all sorrow.
But, Oh, how swift the summons
came,
He's wanted on the other side,
To speak the words Of life and truth,
To spirits now beyond death tide.
And now may We who stay behind,
Be true and firm as he was true,
And be prepared when called TO go
To meet the Lord who loves us 80.
