TOM RICHARDSON IS
NOW ENTHUSIASTIC
Has an Abiding Faith in the
Growth and Prosperity of
Zion.
SALT LAKE FOLLOWING
FOOTSTEPS OF PORTLAND
Fact of Home People Investing
Largely Will Influence
Eastern Men.

"The Newhousc move will place Salt
Lake City on the map more than she
ever has been before, said Tom Rich
ardson of Portland, manager of the
Portland Commercial club, who was n
Salt Lake visitor. Monday,
Mr. Richardson, who is frequent Wis
itor in Salt Lake, when seen at the
Commercial club, Monday evening, by
q representative of The Tribune, stated
that he was pleased when coming into
the city on his present trip TO read IN
The Tribune of the real estate transac-
tion recently consummatcd by Samuel
Newhouse, for he realized at once what
a blessing it will be TO Salt Lnke, and
ne has always taken deep interest In
the growth of the city.
Continuing, Mr.. Richardson said that
he was convinced this transaction would
do for Salt Lake what movement
started two years ago IN Portland has
done for that city. The Commercial
club of Portland appointed special
executive committee of nine men, head
ed by 7. B. Wilcox, the largest ex-
porter on the coast with the exception
of Claus Spreckels, and this committee
started out with the intention of up
building Portland-but not Of booming
it, The work Of this committee Mr.,
Richardson states, has been almost be-
yopd belief. Their object was not TO get
outside capital to invest In Portland,
but to induce Portland men TO spend
their money In the city in the erection
of fine business blocks and residences.
The work of the committee has been
successful beyond all expectations, and
Portland has witnessed 4 development
that has been remarkable. Mr., Richard
son saws that Salt Lake will undoubt-
edly have Just such an era OF develop
men,, now that local capitalists are
showing their confidence in the future
of the city, as when this spirit is shown
by local men, outsiders are not slow 10
follow suit.
Mr. Richardson said further that Mr..
Newhouse enjoys the confidence and re-
spect of capitalists all over the country,
and that this move on his part will un-
doubtedly result in outside capitalists
investing heavily in Salt Lake.
In regard to the large number Of
business blocks that have been erected
in Portland during the past two years,
Nh Richardson SAYS that there has been
no sign whatever of there being sur
plus of store rooms and Offices. and
that thus far the supply has not equaled
the demand. =
he states that Salt Lake need have
no fear of getting too many buildings,
as the conditions Will undoubtedly be
as they have been in Portland, and
that the demand will keep ahead or the
supply.

LEAGUE BASEBALL
FOR SALT LAKE
Plans Under Way to Take in
Salt Lake and Butte in
Coast League.
GIANTS OF NEW YORK
WOULD PLAY HERE
Margetts. an Old Zion Fan, Will
EndeayOr to Secure Man
agement.

League baseball is practically assured
for the coming season for Salt Lake
City. After season Of amateur base
ball, the fans have finally come to the
conclusion that there is nothing doing
unless the real thing is dished up.
Gather Dubci, who kept up the Salt
Lako team last season, stated Monday
afternoon when asked whether he would
take up baseball, "Vell, | am in it. -
Dubci said that while he was not posi-
tive. there was bright outlook for an
eight-city league, commencing at Los
Angeles and taking in all the big cities
on the coast. San Francisco, Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle, together with Spokane,
Butte and Salt Lake. 1t was announced
a week ago that there was going to be
a split in the Coast league, and that
Portland would join the Northwest
league, which was to include Portland,
Tacoma. Seattle, Spokane, Butte and
Salt Lake, but from present outlook 1T
is proposed TO add Salt Lake and Butte
TO the Coast league. and that there will
be no split, Dubei would not give out
any further information regarding the
proposed league, except that there was
Il dShI Oh loI lHf 'lSHI 'Illco anu 'hhN
he was ready at the proper time TO put
up the money for Salt Lake team.
Bert Margetts, who has played in all
the league games in the city, will en-
deavor to secure the management of the
Salt Lake team, and says that he can
place winning team in the field, As
Margetts stands pretty well with Duhei,
there is a possibility that he will be
put in as manager.
The league season will be opened in
Salt Lake City by a series of match
games with the New York Giants. Man
ager McGraw has decided to take the
Giants to the coast early next spring.
The expense OF taking the club to the
Pacific coast will be enormous, but tho
Giants expect TO make a part of their
expenses by playing exhibition games
on their way home, which will include
San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Salt
Lake, Denver. etc. Two or three match
games with the Salt Lake team would
mean a big financial gain for the Salt
Lake club, as every fan in the surround
ing country would come to see the
games.

PRICES CHANGE QUICKLY.
Downtown Property Is Now Soaring
Away UP.

elf anybody doubts that the real
estate boom III Salt Lake City has ac-
tually begin, said f. r. Palmer of the
real estate firm of Stowe g. Palmer last
evening, Che would become convinced
by spending Just an hour in the office
of any one of the leading real estate
firms in the city, or by starting out to
buy preferred business property. Prices
changed inside of an hour month
ago you could go to real estate man,
ask him the price of downtown proper
ty, and he could tell you within few
dollars foot just what you could buy
it for week or & month from that
time. You can't get any one OF them
today TO tell you with any accuracy.
He can give you the price quoted a few
hours before. but he cannot tell you
what it will be tomorrow.
"Owners as well as buyers are 'up in
the air. The owners would like TO
take some of the good offers made, but
MANY of them have become excited and
they change their minds every five min
utes. In many cases the prices de-
manded are prohibitive, even allowing
for the great prospective growth of the
city, and of course this retards business
and improvements.
"The main feature is the speculative
buying, which is taking the form Of op-
tions: Options are being bought right
and left on desirable properties. This
amounts to betting the amount of the
option that the price of the property
will advance within the next thirty or
sixty days. Some of the bettors have
won already. ] know of one case where
q man paid $1,000, Friday. for an option
on some downtown property, which lie
turned over yesterday at profit of
$4,000. This is as quick action as you
can get on the mining exchange.

a little, but nothing now can keep the
city from going ahead

WAS NOT REMOVED
Story Circulated by Sharp and Thomas
Disproved by Official Bulletin.

Some time ago, when Howard NJ
Linsley retired as chief clerk of the
railway mail service to 60 into business
at Berkeley, Cal, Frank c. Sharp, the
disgraced postoffice Inspector, and Post
master Thomas gave it out that Linsley
had been removed. This was published
in Salt Lake and Ogden newspapers,
and although Mr.. Linsley's friends
asked for a correction, he was denied
this right.
Friends of Linsley knew for weeks
before he retired that he desired to
leave the service. His resignation was
no surprise, and now the general orders
issued by Superintendent Stevens of the
railway postotlice has announced the
resignation of Mr.. Linsley and the ap-
pointment of his successor
Mr. Linsley was one of the very best
men In the service. He had many warm
