LOCAL POLICE
HAVE MADE A
GOOD CAPTURE

many aliases and crook whom the

the past two years, was arrested

sloner Parks at Marshall Junction.
Mr.. Parks discovered the robbery
and took after the men. He caught

him and beat him till he was sense
less.
Three of the men were arrested
and sent to Jail, but Lawson escap-

MARQUIS ITO SAYS The
JAP IS NEEDED AT HOME

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Sept. 1S.-
In letter made public here from
Congressman ID. E. Mckinley, the
only Pacific coast member of the
Taft-Roosevelt party in the orient,
there appears some significant COM
ments on trade and labor conditions
In Japan. The writer learned Of
hclally that it is against the policy
of Japan to permit her people to
emigrate to America or any other
country excepting Korea and Man
churia. Marquis Ito said: Japan
needs all her own people. Nowhere
can she get labor equal to them.
Therefore it is our policy to keen

Following in the wake of the
publication of the story that the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern are going to join hands in the
construction of a railroad along the
north shore of the Columbia river
from Pasco to Vancouver, has come
a revival of the myth that it is i'm
possible to construct such a road
because the o. R. & n. interests
control two trategic points on the
proposed route.
The ancient legend is to the eff
feet that when Henry Willard was
projecting and constructing the O..
r. & n. railroad he looked about
to cut off the possibility of having
his line paralelled by a competing
road on the opposite shore of the
Columbia. The story is projected
into more recent history by the

representation that George Steven
son and his fish road" at the Cas-
cade locks occupies the only spot
on the rugged and rocky shore
where it is possible to build rail-
road on the north side. Neither of
these stories are true today, though
Willard, with a knowledge of engi-
neering possibilities a half century
ago. might have tlattered himself
that the construction of the portage
road at The Dalles would block an
other road.
In conversation with a man who
thoroughly knows the ground, these
stories were dissipated. Said he:
This Stevenson road is by no
means in the way of the new pro.
iect. 1t arises in the fact probably
that George Stevenson. one of the
agents of the O. r. & N, controls

Actual construction work on the
Western Pacific on scale that prom
tses tho union OF Salt Lake City with
San Francisco by this new route within
the time specified is q factor in itself
that would greatly stimulate the trans
fer Of real estate In any city. The
construction Of this road means the in
coming OF many permanent residents
to Salt Lake City. It means greatly
increased business along all lines, and
this naturally implies additional homes
and additional room for business.
What is said here Of the construction
of the Western Pacific may be said
with equal force Of the Moffat line, the
Burlington and the other great sys-
TENS that seem determined TO enter
Salt Lake City within the next five
years. The opening Of the Salt Lake
Route to Los Angeles gave an impetus
to local business that has been felt in
the remotest sections OF the state. It
has been felt to marked degree IN
real estate circles In this city. The
excursion OF southern California bust
ness men to this city some time since
illustrates the case IN point. A few OF
these men made investments. Others
are planning 10 do so. All have been
talking since their return home Of the
splendid opportunities afforded here.
What was done In the case OF the
Salt Lake Route Will be done by the
opening Of the Western Pacific, and
this in turn will be cast into the shade
by the opening Of the competing sys-
TENS from the east.
Means Great Railroad Center.
Nothing in the future seems moro
certain than that Salt Lake City is to
be one of the great railroad eenters Of
the west. The converging OF so many
roads to this point means nothing else.
But II nothing more was done in this
direction than has already been done
If the roads now under construction
are added 10 the roads now IN active
operation-Salt Lake City must become
a business and industrial center OF vast
Importance.
This Is indicated by the movements
already inaugurated. The construc-
ton OF smelling plant to cost two
and half millions at Garfield Beach
west of the city means the congrega-
ton ar that point Of 5000 persons This
in itself means tremendous boost for
this city. It's influence is already felt.
Property values on the west side are
reaching points that have been out Of
sight for fifteen years. Workingn1en,
and men in moderate circumstances are
building neat homes west OF the Rio
Grande Western at a rate that is not

q SaltLake Realty Shows

Salt Lake City offers especial oppor-
tunities for real estate investment.
This is the combined judgment of the
clear-headed men Of the community,
reinforced by the judgment of many
merciless critics In such matters from
abroad
Many reasons are assigned to back
up this statement, reasons that appeal
to men who In their business trans
actions avoid wildcat speculation and
conf1ne their operations TO safe and
conservative deals.
1t 10 conceded that no amount OF
worldly wisdom can protect men from
the blighting effects Of booms. Recent
history In Salt Lake City proves this.
Many men. both resident and non-resi-
dent were induced IN 1889 and 1890 TO
invest considerable sums In Salt Lake
City suburban property on the under
standing that It was to double in value
in a few years. The collapse of the
boom came in the early '9os, and the
panic followed in 1893. There has never
been a day since when these investors
could get their money out Of this prop
erty. Their only fault was that they
could not see far enough into the future
20 discern the coming financial storm.
Pays the Penalty for the Boom.
These investors were not to blame,
but tho men who inaugurated a boom
and carried Il forward, inducing In
vestors to purchase property far be-
yond the boundary lines OF reason and
at greatly inflated prices are 70 blame.
The entire city received an injury In
this way from which 1t has not fully
recovered yet. The loss Of the conf
dence OF the investing public is the
severest blow g community will receiev.
It il not necessary to repeat often
such lessons as that of 1Sss-1ss0 Since
then every responsible real estate deal
er In Salt Lake City. and every sub
stantial citizen has been on guard
against booms The tendency has all
been In the other direction. II there
has been a fault at all, 1t has been too
much conservatism.
There are no elements OF a boom In
sight at this time. There are, how
ever. many Indications OF a great
growth. Elements that have lain DOR
mant for years are stirring to life, and
conditions seem ripe for a tremendous
real estate revival. General prosperity
in the community; railroad building on
an extensive scale; municipal improve
ments on scale never witnessed be-
fore. and an abundance of money for
safe Investment are the primary forces
at work to add life to the real estate
situation

EMPLOYES GAVE
 ANNUAL PICNIC
MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION, COMPOSED OF EMPLOYES OF LovEMAN, JOSEPH 6 LoEgs, HAD OUTING.

The second annual picnic of the em- ployes and members of the firm of Love- man, Joseph & Loeb took place yester- day at Germania park. The picnic was under the auspices of the Mutual Benefit association, to which every employe of the store belongs.
 Special cars conveyed the party to Germana park at 1 o'clock. Every at traction at the park had been engaged for the amusement of the picnicers. During the afternoon two exciting ball games were played by the L., J. & l.. teams. A delightful luncheon was served during the evening. At Il o'clock last night the party returned to Birmingham.
 This benefit association was organized some years ago, and has proved a great help to the members. In case of sickness or accident the association pays the members one-half of the amount of the salary he receives from the firm. Mem- bership does not cost an employe but a small per cent weekly, and causes har- monious feeling among all the members.
 The association has fitted out a complete library for it's members. This library is filled with all the standard works. and also with the choicest of the new liter ature. The members of the association are enabled to keep in touch with all the best literature of the day, without any personal expence.
 The picnic was great success and was enjoyed by all who attended.

County Physician ". P. McAdory has made an examination of Bob Watts, the condemned murderer from Marshall coun- ty being held here for safe keeping, and finds that the prisoner is suffering from mental troubles.
 Dr. McAdory has accordingly recom- mended to Chief Deputy and Acting Sheriff Albert Stradford that the man be removed from his cell in the county jail and placed under guard in order that he might be treated for the disease. As the prisoner is not from this county, MT. stradford did not feel authorized to grant the request without being so instructed by the Marshall county officials.
