Erected SOOn.
FAMILY HOTEL is
ALSO TALKED OF
Three Little Real Estate Deals
Which Involve Matter of
Nearly $30,G0O.

Among the recently projected inn
provements IN building one that carries
unusual weight, inasmuch as it not only
answers an appreciablc want but evi
dences the progress of the city, is the
erection OF an annex 10 the Emery
Holmes apartment house, South Temple
and Second East streets. Work is now
being done on the property Immediately
north of the apartment house in prepar-
alton for building operations which, II
IS understood, are to begin early next
spring. The plans for the building have
not been announced but the structure
will be credit to its owner.
The property is owned by Mrs. 4. +.
Holmes, of the Emery Holmes. 1t is
also reported that arrangements are be
ing made to erect family hotel on the
property adjoining the Emery-Holmes
on the east, which is now occupied by
the residence of DIR. II, d. Niles. Nego-
tlations for the property were pending
few days ago but the report that the
deal was closed has not been verified
While the Emery Holmes was under
that the undertaking was far in adj
vance Of what conditions warranted,
that 1T would not be a success, Subse"
quent events proved, however, that
tenants were more than plentiful and
the new move on the part of the Emery
Holmes people shows that money in
vested in Salt Lake apartment houses is
we'll spent.

JEROME MAKES RAID
New York's District Attorney Arrests
Many Alleged Gamblers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13,-Led by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, ffty-three po~
licemen and detectives tonight raided
an allcned gambling house in Tenth
street and arrested l45 men. The
doors were battered down with iron
rails.
The new tactics of the District At
torney were apparently great surprise
not only to the prisoners, but also to
the lawyers and bondsmen who f1ocked
TO the station to bail out the prisoners.
Fictitious names are often given follow
ing such raid, but tonight the District
Attorney instructed the sergeant at the
police station to require the bondsmen
to make oath that the prisoner g name
and address given at the station house
wss correct. Although lawyers ap-
peared at the station house with bonds
men, the sergeant remained firm and,
in nearly every case, the bondsmen re-
fused to give bail The result was that
at late hour the majority OF the l45
men were still held in cells at the sta
tion

CAN co TO SUBURBS
WITHOUT RUBBER BOOTS
Streets of Salt Lake in Better
Condition Than Ever
Before.

Because the Mormon hierarchy,
through its political tools, is no longer
in control of the municipal govern
ment Of Salt Lake, the Dcseret News,
organ of the hierarchy, has set up a
howl about the condition of the streets
in Zion, and is trying to crib up' mer-
chants and others to lodge protest
with the City Council.
1t is a fact known to every person
who has lived any length of time at all
in this city that the streets are in bet
ter condition now than they have been
any winter during the history of the
city. lt is admitted by everybody that
the streets are bad in many places-a
condition which is bound to prevail in
this climate so long as there are natural
streets without paving, 1t Is true that
in places IL is impossible TO cross the
streets because of mud
1t is equally true that it is possible
now to get to the suburbs without
wearing rubber boots, condition which
did not prevail here as long as the hie-
rarchy and its unprogressive minions
had control Of the city government. The
American city administration has done
more III the eleven months of it's admin
istration to improve the streets of Salt
Lake than preceding administrations
did in half a century.
The present complaint is about con-
dition which cannot be remedicd in a
day or in season. IT is inspired sole
ly by desire to attack the city admin
istration.

FINES CONSIDERED LIGHT
Etockmen Arrested for Driving Cattle
and Sheep Through Parley's,

William Salmon. the Heber stockman,
who was arrested Tuesday night for vio-
1ating the regulation OF the Land and
Water commission by driving a band OF
cattle through Parleys canyon was flned
$50 by Judge Diehl In the Police court
Wednesday morning. l.. Nickel, another
stockman arrested by Mounted officer
Heath, for driving band of sheep
through the canyon. from which the city
draws most OF its water supply. was
fined IS by the Police Judge. The as
sessment OF these petty penalties for such
grave offenses as deliberately polluIing
the city's water supply has created no
little comment Stockmen would willing
" pay such a price for the privilege OF
bringing their sheep and cattle through
the canyon saving by the short cut at
least twenty miles of rough travel. The
hope has been expressed that the penalty
fixed by Judge Diehl for this Migrant
violation Of a well-known and most pop
uler law, will rot be taken as a prece-
dent by stockmen who are continually
driving their herds into the city.

RfCHFIELD, Dec. l2-Between
$4,000 and $4,000 is to be expended in
improving the grounds around the tab
ernacle building in this city as soon
as it is possible to do the work. The

put in good condition for quarterly
conference here this week. The doors
have been changed to swing outward,
instead of inwardly as heretofore.

was laid, because of lack of masons,
and there has been considerable delay
In resIming on account of no lime to

merctal club of Salt Lake City. This
new home for the gentlemen of COM
merce will be one of the most ostenta-
tious structures in the new thorough
fares TO be created by Mr.. Newhouse.
Besides the new street running from
Main to State street, it is also conf
IDENTIFY stated that Mr.. Newhouse will
open a thoroughfare from Third to
Fourth South and on one of the corners
at the intersection of the new streets
the Commercial club will be erected
Nothing has yet developed as to the
architecture of the new building. The
new street, however-that running from
Third TO Fourth South-will be fac
simile of one Of the quaint and famous
thoroughfarcs of one Of the European
capitals. This street, when completed,
will be one of the features of the new
Salt Lake-one of the chief attractions
of the city. it will be attractive in
Its quaintness of architecture, vet re-
'plete in its n1odernity, so far as COM
fort, necessities and conveniences are
concerned.
Another business development of
Wednesday was the unofficial announce
ment that the Z. c.. NJ. l. was inquiring
about a downtown location. probably on
the Newhouse holdings. The big Nor
mon store must get where the business
ss,' no matter what the cost, SO that
it may relinquish its original holding
and go south
Mr.. Newhouse s purchases of Salt
Lake property revive the recollection
Of his notable achievements in New
York realty some years ago. BY the
purchase of the corner OF Broadway
and Twentythird street. what is now
the famous Flatiron building corner,
Mr.. Newhouee startled speculative cir
cies of the metropolis. For this piece
OF realty he paid sum in the neigh
borhood of SS00,000 There were many
doubling ones as to the wisdom of this
venture but Mr.. Newhouse immediate
ly set to work to improve his purchase.
The erection of the Flatiron building
was begun. The steel superstructure
had only risen in the air one or two
stories when Mr. Newhouse was made
an offer of S2,000.000 for his purchase,
and this offer he accepted, thus netting
q profit of approximately $1,000,o00.
Thus il Will be seen that the man who
has initiated the Greater Salt Lake is
q man OF large affairs.

CONFUSION FOLLOWS
Roosevelt's New Style of Spelling Is
Worrying Congress.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l3.-The
great confusion resulting from the Gov
ernment s double standard of spelling
has made it necessary for the Joint COM
mittee on Printing to take Immediate
action, and Senator Platt and Repre-.
sentative Lands Of the committee are
at work on resolution designed to
straighten the tangle at once.
Even if the House and Senate both
pass the legislative bill with a clause
declaring for old fashioned spelling, the
measure will not become effective until
the beginning of the new year, and
meantime there would be no well de-
fined policy as to spelling. Reports
from the executive departments are
printed now in reformed spelling, When
Congress desires 10 include portions of
them in It's proceedings it is necessary
to make new plates. and more expense
is entailed.
