GREAT PLANS
FOR SALT LAKE
Realty Company Organized to
Put Up New Building.
BIG INVESTMENTS HERE
SENATOR CLARK'S FAITH IN
THIS CITY.

MESSAGE from Senator w a
ID Clark to the manager Of The
Herald last night gives some
interesting details as to his plans
for extensive Improvements in Salt
Lake. The message releases the m
formation that Senator Clark has
formed a realty company with Hon
r. G. Kerens of St. Louis. Sen
ator Thomas Kearns and Hon Da-
tid Keith of this city as his asso-
ciates.
The new realty company viii take
over the Main street ground and con-
struct the new Herald building as out
lined in this paper yesterday, and in
addition it viii improve the property
already acquired or to he acquired BY
Senator Clark in pursuance of his in
tentiOn formed some time ago 10 ideu-
tify himself with the growth Of the
city Although he is not ready TO so
into details as to other plans, the fact
that he and his associates expect to
invest close TO 100000 in The Herald
building in addition TO the cost Of the
ground, is sufficient indication of the
scale on which operations win be con-
Quoted when the company is fully or
ganized.
In discussing his preliminary plans
for the organization OF the realty
company. Senator Clark did not hest
tate to say that he regarded Salt Lake
real estate as a most substantial and
promising investment. His familiarity
with the developments attending the
construction of the Clark road TO Los
Angeles convinced him that Salt Lake
would profit largely by the opening of
the territory along the line Of the
road: and this. with its natural COM
mercial advantages had settled his de-
termination to take part in the up
building Of Salt Lake City.
4 number of local real estate men
yesterday expressed TO The Herald
their qualification at the announce
ment Of Senator Clarks plans. They
were united in their opinion that his
investments and evident confidence in
the future Of Salt Lake would result
III an era of Improvement throughout
the city and give il an impetus that
must be felt III every branch Of bust
ness

Of an instruction from Acting Secre-

inquiry by two considerations. First,
that our embassies and legations, as
shown by their frequent efforts to as
