CITY AND NEIGHBoRHooD.

Willis Mccormick mas gone to san
Francisco to secure hydraulic elevators
and other supplies for the Siberian
Exploration company, which viii oper-
ate some immensely rich mines IN 81
IBERIA.
The electrical supply companies in
this city report large increase OF
business during the past year over that
of the year previous.
Banking men report deposits on the
increase. and at the same time say
there is plenty of money in circulation
Collections are reported as unusually
good this month.
An unusually sad death was that of
Miss Eleanor Bennion Cannon, the IL
year-old daughter of President Angus
M. and Maria Bennion Cannon, which
occurred at Taylorsville in this county.
Eleanor was stricken about three
weeks ago. and was taken from school.
During the last nineteen days OF her
life she took no nOuriShment.
o
Edward Moore of the New York Cash
store received the distressing news on
Sunday of the death of his father, Ar
thur Z. Moore, at Vancouver, Is. C''
on Saturday, after a short illness. Mr.
Moore was formerly a resident of this
city and had numerous friends here.
His two daughters, Miss Kate Moore,
a teacher at the Longfellow school,
and Miss Title Moore, a stenographer
in the Oregon Short Line Offices are
sorely grieved with their brother, and
their many friends condole with them
in their bereavement. So great was
the shock to Miss Tillie, who had only
recently been released from the hos
pital after an operation for appendi-
citis. that her brother will remain at
her bedside for a few days.
P. H. Lannan evidently has faith in
Salt Lake faith born of long and
extended experience. So he is planting
the cas- q from for the Tribune in
Salt Las atty. Some little time ago
he invested $50, 600 in the purchase of
the Commerce block on the corner of
Second South and West Temple streets,
and now he is about TO invest $19,5OO
in 200 feet of realty on the west side of
Richards street, the grantors being the
Utah Savings & Trust company.

Steps are being taken to organize the
oil interests of the northwestern states
with headquarters at Salt Lake City.
This action is deemed imperative by
reason of the steps recently taken at
Denver Colo, looking toward the CEN
tralization at that point of all western
oil interests. The states of Utah,
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Montana
Nntain practically the entire oil ter
ritory in the northwest, in view of
which those most interested claim that
the control of such industry should be
centered at the principal city adjacent
to prominent oil fields. Salt Lake City
IS the available center and it is eX-
pected that those interested in oil oil
stocks and by-products, will soon re-
ceive notification of the time of meet
Ing to be called for the purpose above
mentioned, with a cordial invitation to
attend.
Senator Kearns spent a few days in
the city this week, and on Thursday
departed for Washington. He pur-
poses TO be at his post in the senate
when the gavel falls on Monday. He
is very deeply interested in the irriga-
ton proposition that is to come be-
tore congress at the present session,
and is bending all his efforts toward |
getting the senators and the congress- |
men from the western states to agree |
on some reasonable proposition that !
viii be for the benefit of all the states |
that need federal assistance of this |
kind. The senator has been a very |
busy man since coming to Utah. The |
builders and decorators Of his new |
home, his mining interests, his railroad |
enterprise and the many politicians !
have kept him very busy, to say moth !
ing of the social demands made upon |
his time. He does not expect to return |
to the state till after the adjournment |
of congress.
