Working in Harmony.

The Manufacturers & Merchants assO-
citation has fathered this scheme and a
meeting was held at the Commercial club
last Friday which was attended by near
Iy every wholesaler and IObber in Salt
Lake Nc. obstacles have been placed in
the way Of making this excursion OnS Of
the largest trade events in western circles
that has come I'D in recent years.
The realty market is active and as usual
A large number Of big deals are hanging
fire This is an ordinary condition of af-
fairs in this market and confidence is ex-
pressed that most of these deals will be
put through.
Tunbermen say an advance in fir is ex-
Dected in the near future. Some 1000 cars
OF lumber were burned in the fire at San
Francisco and the mills in the northwest
are working night and day to supply the
market of the Golden Gate city.

Effect of Excursion.

The proposed business mems excursion
has aroused considerable enthusiasm
among the wholesalers and jobbers Of the
city. The object of this excursion is to
bring retail merchants from the cities and
towns Of states adjoining Utah to Salt
Lake for the purpose Of creating a closer
personal relation between them and the
wholesaler and tobbers Of the Utah me
tTOpolis.
Salt Lake City has become an object of
interest in trade circles in the west, and
the prediction has been made that this
est distributing eenters in the entire in
teTmOuntain region The trend Of events
indicate that this prophecy is to be real
lied and the men who sell goods by whole
sale here are preparing to let the outside
merchants know that they can buy theil
goods in this city as adVantageOusly as
in any other city in the west.

Building Activity.

A season Of building activity IS looked
forward to this summer and contractors
are making advance arrangements Tor
building materials of all kinds. The brick
wards are arranging to increase their out
put.
The Utah Gas & Coke company, a new
concern organized recently by George A
Snow, has let the contract for laying the
mains to Hanley and Richie This work
will be begun at once. Sixteen inch mains
will be laid on First South street from the
works at First South and Ninth West
streets. to Main street Along Main street,
twelve-inch mains will be laid. This en-
terprise will furnish work for large force
Of labOrers.
In summing up the business situation IN
Salt Lake there is no necessity Of resort
ing to hyperbole to show the outside
world that this city is in the front rank
OF progress. There are fewer discOuraging
conditions here than in any city in the
entire west. and business men in Utah's
metropolis are not only sanguine for the
future but they are convinced that full
measure Of prosperity has been set aside
for Salt lake

WILL INVESTIGATE
The Plateau Tragedy VIII be Fully
Investigator by Deputy Dist
rict Attorney Coles
Patton is Held.

Deputy District Attorney Coles
states that formal complaint will
be filed against Riley Patton, the
Plateau Valley farmer who killed his
son-in-law, Allen Thompson, on
Christmas morning. in order that a
full and complete investigation can
be made so that justice may be salts
fed.
Attorney Coles and one of the sher-
IFS officers will go to the Plateau
valley in few days to examine wit
nesses and make further investiga-
tions.
AS the coroner's jury, after examin-
ing many witnesses, brought in a YER
dict of justifiable homicide, thus ex-
Onorating Patton. it is not probable
that the old man will ever be brought
to trial, further than a preliminary
hearing. However, Attorney Coles
will by investigation satisfy himself
before Patton is formally discharged
from custody.
Patton will in the mean time re-
main in the county jail.
Undertaken Gourley who has
charge of the county undertaking cas-
es, went to the Plateau yesterday to
takec barge of the remains of Thomp-
son, for as announced by this paper
yesterday, the family would not meet
the expenses of the funeral.
There has been no new develop
ments that would change in the least
the full details of the tragedy as re-
lated at the coroner's inquest. pub
