After the records OF the last meeting had

ceived call from Emery Il. johnson, ap-
pointed by President Mckinley to inves.
tigate different sections of the country
regarding trade as it would be affected
by the Isthmian canal. Mr.. Johnson
the trade of Portland by the secretary.
Charles S. Fobes thought this was not
a matter which greatly concerned the
members individually but it might be of
interest to the Grand Trunk railway.
Nothing should be done which would
conflict with the interests of Portland.
The subject of Witch Rock was taken
up. Secretary Rich said buoys had been
recently placed about the rock and Presi-
dent Boothby said that Major Roessler

rock was of different shape and larger
than had been anticipated. No definite
action was taken in the matter.
Captain Keazer called the attention of
the board to the fact that there was no
landing in the harbor where shipsscouId
coma in free without crossing private
property. Mr.. Cooling said the only pub
lie landing was on the easterly side of
Portland pier but ex-Mayor Randall
thought this landing belonged to the
city.
Secretary Rich stated that the New
England Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany which owned the building in which
the rooms were located intended to re-
model the bui lding, the work to be COM
menced this fall. The lease OF the rooms
in this building expires next June when
the board will have been located in its
present quarters ten years. The lease
was secured for five years and was then
renewed. For the first five years the rent
was 81, 600 a year and for the next five it
was reduced 800 year. The board Of
trade had had rooms in this part of the
city for the last 81 years and this was the
best location in the city. Since being on
the present side of Exchange street the
rooms had been visited a great deal
more by tourists and strangers.
The subject came in for quite a lot OF
discussion In which the advantages and
disadvantages OF the present. rooms were
explained. Finally on motion it was
voted to leave the matter to committee
OF the president, secretary and
treasurer to Investigate and report at

We have the lead. Again, being the

tween Chicago and San Francisco, and
with a little ocean right here in the
valley for advertisement. These natu-
raj advantages are important and
worthy earnest consideration by CAPT
taiists and investors, for the man that
builds a home does not want it swept
away by fire, flood or cyclone.
From an investment standpoint we,
or any other live office, can sell the
investor any amount of property from
which the rent income is from Z per
cent to Is per cent net per annum, that
is better than mortgages or anything
else that's safe, and with a prospective
increase in valuation to add to that
percentage income, who or what city
can show a better investment? We

FUTILE BROTHERS.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-09-16

Salt Lake realty holders have cause
to be thankful for many reasons this
year. First, everything in and out of
the city resembling a house is rented
and bringing good rents. Second, val
ues are increasing and there is a good
demand for homes continually; during
the past year our sales of city prop
erty exceeded those of the year prior
by sover 100 per cent and this year 50
far has shown nearly as good an in
crease over last year, and if the sellers
of property do not initiate, faster than
the market, some of our chronic kick
ers can dispose of their holdings. There
is a class always complaining because
they cannot sell, but they raise their
price faster than the market. they start
with better opinion of their property
than of any other in the locality and
keep above the market ever after, and
then after property reaches its highest
value. they are still holding above Then
the readjuStment begins, values sink
and this distinguished financier is still
holding. Gradually he sinks his valua-
ton, but does il slower than the market
again, kicking all the time. Did you
ever meet such a case? Supply and
demand regulate values. Even the most

towns through the Mississippi and Mis-

from existence nearly by cyclones, the
most notable perhaps being the st.

were blown away in a few moments.
Fourth, the, danger of losing your
improvements by fire is not so great
as in other climates. Here is a ''cOrker.'
Perhaps you have observed how diff

There is only one way to cure deaf
