General Staff.

| Washington, March 6.-Addressing
himself to those ''who would not stand
pat even in a clover field.' representa-
tive Lacey of Iowa took occasion dur
ing the debate on the Indian appropria
ton bill today to express himself on
the subject of the German tariff.
He took the position emphatically
that the United States could not af
ford to sacrifice her commerce with
Great Britain in order to win German
markets by tariff concessions.
Home Market Greatest.
He illustrated this by figures show
ing how little we sell to Germany in
comparison with Great Britain and how
little we sell to Great Britain in COM
parison with our home market. Eighty
seven per cent of the product of our
farms, he said, finds a market at home.

TO ASK BIDS FOR
WASATCH DRIVE
Committee Decides to Let Contract
and Push the Work at
Once.
WILL COST ABOUT $500
is A PROJECT WHICH HAS BEEN
CONSIDERED MANY YEARS,

Bids for construction of the Wa
satch drive viii be advertised for du-
ring the coming week Actual work
on the drive viii begin just so soon
as all bids are received. The WORK
will be rushed to completion Just as
fast as possible.
This was the determination of the
boulevard committee of the CONNER
clal club reached at a meeting held
yesterday in the club rooms. It is
the final conclusion of the deIibera lions
of the committee, which have extended
over more than a year. The drive
project had its origin about sixteen
years ago, and has lra gged
along from year to year without any
definite action ever being tiken he
yond the raising of a subscription Tor
the work.
Upon the submission or the report
of A. F. Doremus, the engineer Sc
lected to prepare plans and speciflca-
tionS for the work. it was decided to
begin advertising for bids for the work
Mr.. Doremus showed in his report that
the work of constructing the drive
could be done for about $500. Nearly
this amount is available in cash and
subscriptions.
The Wasatch drive, or City Creek
Canyon road, as it is called. will run
from the mouth of City Creek CANYON
4 point
near the present city WaterWOrkS
From there it will run in a south
easterly direction along the east side
of City Creek canyon to Eleventh
street. On Eleventh street the road
will run east a distance of d mile to
a point close 10 the CITY cemetery
From this point it VIII run through
POppertOn to a connection with the
PenrOSe drive.
In this distance the drive crosses
City Creek canyon once. The city has
agreed to build a bridge costing not
to. exceed 5000. The money has already
been appropriated and is available at
once.
At present there is OF hand q to-
tai in money and subscriptions of 81
600. If this amount proves too small
for the completion of the work the
Commercial club has agreed to take
upon it's shoulders the work of raising
the balance of the money.

MERcIAL ACTIVITY.

Business in all lines during the past
week has been fairly good Real es-
tate men report many small sales we'll
distributed all over the city. Bankers
state that money is i'm demand at fair
rates of interest. The dry goods mer-
chants and hardware dealers say that
they have had a good week. All the

spring business has begun.
While there is no great or unprece-

still the general conditions are good.

business men say, had a tendency to
make all lines a tTifie more quiet than
they would have been had the real
spring weather prevailed.
Phipps' Visit Important.
BY far the most important event in
commercial circles during the past
week was the coming to Salt Lake of
Henry Phipps, millionaire steel king,
and owner of a million dollars worth
of property in Salt Lake. His local
agents have said that he was here for
the sole purpose of inspecting his
holdings and becoming familiar with
the local realty situation. Before de-
parting last night, Mr.. Phipps stated
that he Will make some extensive i'm
prOVements in his holdings here. These

improvements on the buildings he now
owns rather than in the construction
of new buildings.
For more than three years it has
been a constant rumor that Mr.
Phipps would tear down the Galena
block at the corner of Second South
and State streets, and that he would
erect there a Mathematician office
building. the like of which there is not
in all the west. From certain remarks
made before his departure it would
seem that the contamination of this
plan is little nearer than ever be-
fore. He said that possibly on the
completion of the structure he is now
building in New York he may under
take the project in Salt Lake. He did
not commit himself definitely as TO the
date of this work any more tina to
state that he wiz probably undertake
it at no greatly distant time.
The benefit of such a large building
on State would be great. Ger
tain real estate holders and brokers
are of the opinion that if this building
were constructed, genuine boom
