Church Quitting Business.

The deal closed Saturday consists of
sale of all the capital stock in the Salt
air Beach company and the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles Railroad company. The ven
dors are nominally c. w. Nibley, Nephi
w Clayton, Joseph Nelson and j. E.
Langford. 1t was announced last year
that they had bought both properties
from the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter-day Saints, but it was generally be-
heved at the time that the transfer was
merely nominal one The church is
therefore the real selling party in the lat
est transaction, which is a bona fide sale
The sale of the church interests in the
Utah Light d Railway company was con-
summated a little over two weeks ago.
With the sale of the Salt Lake &, Los
Angeles road, the church therefore retires
entirely from all public service corpora
tions.
The resort and the railroad were built
IN the early '90s by the church in order
TO afford a place of amusement for the
younger members of the church 1t has
always been open to the general public
however, and the patrons who do not be-
long TO the church have always far ont
numbered the others. The resort has lost
money nearly every year it has been run
and the church has for some time been
willing TO sell. provided it could get its
price 1t is believed that the change of
policy and management will make both
enterprises highly profitable
