QUITS PRINTING BUSINESS
GEORGE @. CANNON SELLS OUT
TO THE DESERET NEWS.
Made Transfer of the Publishing
Department Of his Establishment
Yesterday.

After thirty-four years. experience,
George Q. Cannon is to retire from the
printing and publishing business. A
deal has just been effected by which
the publishing, job printing and book
binding departments of the business of
George @. Cannon & Sons Co. are to
be transferred to the Deseret News.
thus consolidating the two institutions
that have made a speciality of church
publications. The amount of the con-
sideration involved in the deal will not
be made public. but it is understood
that President Cannon gets some Valu-
able realty from the church in the
deal The principal reason assigned for
the consolidation is that it was con-
sidered wrong to have an outside in
stitution competing with the church in
the issuing of regular church publica-
lions. As President Snow is at the head
of the Deseret News and President
Cannon at the head of the Cannon pub
fishing firm, ii must gave been easy
for the two to reach an agreemnt
The deal includes all the printing ma
chinery, including six presses, the most
complete bookbindery in the inter-
mountain region, all the printing ma
terial on hand and the good will of
the firm. The Cannons will complete
the work they now have on hand be-
fore the transfer is made. This will in
elude two books by 3. II. Roberts that
are now in press.
1t is the understanding that the ma
chinery viii be kept where it now is
until the new News building is COM
pleted on the corner of Main and South
Temple. The plant at present occupies
a brick building on South Temple, just
east of the Templeton. The entire build
ing, three floors and a basement eighty
feet long, is monopolized by the bust
ness.
George @. Cannon entered the pub
fishing business in the year 1866. when
he established the Juvenile Instructor.
For a time he hired the little paper
printed, but in 1868 he secured his own
printing plant, and from that time up
to the present he has continued to add
to and improve his plant, until at this
time il is a big institution.
In 1899, when A H. Cannon was the
manager, the present building was
erected. and the firm branehed out into
much wider fields than before. Since
it began business this firm has pub
lished a large number of books, prin-
cipally church works, and has turned
out some fine examples of the printers
and binders art. Prominent among
these is ''Whitney's History of Utah
in three large moroccO-bO0nd volumes.
The firm of Cannon & Sons will now
confine its energies to the sale of books.

Those who CHANGED to be at Calder's
park early yesterday afternoon saw a
fierce fight for blood between Con-
ductor Alex Christensen of the Rapid
Transit line and an unknown heavy
weight. There were but few witnesses
to the MILL but from accounts given
Of the affair it was a right lively bat
tie while it lasted. The causus bellum
could not be learned, for those who
eound tell declined TO state anything
that would throw light on the mys-
terry.
AS the story goes, the unknown man,
who, by the way, was no strangef to
Christensen, tackled the conductor
Christensen is husky fellow him
self, and il took but short time for
him to literally mop the earth with the
unknown. Twice, Ii is related, the
conductor licked his adversary Hos
ulities finally ceased when the van
quished cried for mercy.
When it seemed that the tabled white
wings OF peace were about to spread
over the scene, Christensen started 10
board his car for the return trip to
town, but in crossing a ditch the con-
ductor's foot slipped. This was the

Long before the fire got anywhere near

out checking the fury of the blaze in the

was feared that the fire would get over
into City Creek canyon and do incalcula-
bic harm TO the eity's water supply inter-

ent almost made up his mind to call out
the fire department to protect the houses

ayerted a serious calamity. Water is
scarce anyway, and it is out of the ques-
ton TO get it up that high for fighting a

USED HIS WOODEN LEG.
Smith Condor Knocks Out Fellow
Prisoner In Jail.


Prisoner In Jail.
Smith Condor, a cripple. and Frank
Rudy. a farmer, who were run in for
drunkenness yesterday morning, stirred
up considerable excitement in Jail by
rsdulging in a spirited fight. Condor
was in the belligerent stage of a big
spree when arrested, and gave the Off
GERS a lively scuff1e before they could
get him to jail. He was placed in the
cell with Rudy. but he had not been
there but few minutes when the
space became too small for both.
A miX-up ensued. in which Condor,
who has wooden leg, used that mem
Der very effectually on Rudy's body. A
blow on the latter's mouth lOOSened five
or six tenth and brought stream of
blood from his lips. A punch in the
eye left a large ring of mourning
around that organ, and several other
bruises testified to Condon'S deXterous
use of his wooden leg.
The yells of Rudy brought Jailer Kim
ball to the scene on a run and the fight
ing cripple was hustled into a cell by
himself. Condor will now have to an
swer to the double charge of drunk and
assault and battery, and it may be
that a charge of destroying property
viii be added to the list of his other
offenses.
The Wilson-Sherman Insurance COM
pany, which insures plate glass Win
dows, has complained that Condor
has caused them considerable trouble
by breaking windows.
Rudy appeared in court on a charge
of drunk, but the court told him that
he had enough punishment and dis
charged him.

BIG FIRE IN THE FOOT HILLS
THREATENED GREAT LOSSES

The nearest approach to a destrueti'
fire on the grassy hills near to the n
habited parts of the city was yesterday
afternoon on the northeast foothills
From noon till o'clock the entire noun
tain north and northwest of Fort Doug
las was a mass of smoke and flame.
Every few minutes the redeemed tongues
of fire would show through the dense
clouds of smoke, making the sight weird
and at times threatening tc the safety
of the houses in POppeTtOn and at Fort
Douglas.
When the fire had spent its fury an
area of probably 1000 acres was left as
black as any burned-out meadow ever
was. Only one little patch of green re-
NAMED in the center. This would have
been burned also if the wind had not
veered around from the south to the
west, then to the north. The changing
course of the breeze prevented the fire
from going over Black mountain into City
Creek canyon, but it drove it into Red
Butte canyon.
The north wind sent the prairie fire
clear down to where the Rapid Transit
car line stops at the entrance to the gar
rison, and had il not been for the heroic
efforts of the soldiers the buildings would

CANDY FACTORY PROJECT.
Louis saroni Buying Up Local
Concerns.

The chances at present favor the es-
tablishment of a gigantic candy fac
tory in Salt Lake. Louis Saroni. who
is known the full length of the Pacific
coast as a candy man, is in the city
laying his plans for the establishment
here of big factory if the conditions
are found to be favorable; thus far he
expresses himself as greatly pleased
with the outlook. As one step in his
enterprise he has purchased the candy
business and plant of Michael Kopp
at III West Temple and the invoice
was being taken last night The con-
SideratiOn is not made public
Mr. SaIoni is no novice in the candy

est manufacturers on the Pacific coast.

-Four OF these were situated in the
cities OF San Francisco, Portland. Sc
attic and Los Angeles. These have
all been sold out. and now because of
his health he is anxious to locate in a
higher altitude and is in Utah with
that in view.
There is no good reason why large
quantities of Utah sugar should not
be shipped out in the form of candy,
and the public viii watch for Mr.. Sa-
roni's final decision with deep interest.
