Walter @. futile was enthusiastic in his
views of Salt Lakes future from a real
estate standpoint. Here are his views on
the outlook for the coming year:
Samuel Newhcuse made the statement
when he authorized us to purchase the
million dollars worth of ground that we
recently bought for him, Nothing can in

that ground with the finest buildings

Realty Men Not Complaining.

THE past year has been a very pros
porous one in a real estate way. and there
is hardly an office in the city that has any
complaint. There is room for more active
and intelligent men to establish them
selves in this line here. and fortune in
sight for many Of them. The future of
Salt Lake City will make many fortunes,
apart altogether from the efforts of the
men who Will reap the benefit of them"

George Rust. local manager for r. G.
Dun q Co. says he considers the year
1906 the most prosperous within MS eX-
perience in the wsst. He says;
.-rhere have, been but few business fall
ures in Salt Lake or vicinity during the
past year and most of these were unim-
portant and can scarcely be taken as
indications of business conditions. In
nearly every case there was a radical rea-
son for the failure. and in the great ma
jority the fact was foreseen and acted
upon.

more and more towards specializing. and
this i'm itself is a great argument in the
support of Salt Lakes future greatness
Again, the fact is becoming more appar-
ent every day that the people want good
goods and are willing to pay for them
and that they realize as never before that
the inferior article is dear at any price
Is not this in itself an indication of pros

finances. and of the confidence of the
people in the future of their city?
1908 will be a presidential year. and for
this reason next year may see a more
conservative policy in the operation of
many businesses Smaller stocks will in
many cases be the rule, and general
tendency towards heavier bank balances
This is as it should be, and such conser-

proof of the city's eventful future.

For obvious reasons the farm gar

gated garden. Soils which are natur-
ally either too heavy or too light for
such purpose can be much improved
by proper treatment. For adobe soiss,
Prof Wickson, director OF the Cali
fornia experiment station, recon-
mends the use of air-slaked lime,
deep and thorough tillage, and the

states, straw, sand, old plaster, coal
ashes, sawdust, almost anything
coarse or gritty which will break up

soil the same author recommends the
use of plenty of we'll composed and
decayed manure.
