A disposition to feel out from the

ten miles away from Virgin City. The

structures of this kind. both as to height

Still Further to the South.
On the corner below, Main and Fourth
South, the site of one of the well known
Walker homesteads, Mr.. Newhouse has
the ground cleared for a magnificent no.
tel. and on the corner above, Main and
Third South, across the street from the
Walker store, that was considered out of
town some years ago, Mrs. Mary Judge
mas well along toward completion the
splendid seVen-story building that is to
be known as the Railroad Exchange.
These important operations on South
Main; and the other operations that are
certain &c follow on Main and nearby
streets, have eXerted a powerful influ-
ence throughout the year in pulling bust
ness to the south, and this influence has
oeeh Ielt by every real estate dealer in
the city. Prices on business property and
prospective business property have ad-
vanced radically in that section of the
city. The intersection of Main and Third
South streets is now considered one Of
the important business points of the city
The Business Center of Town.
The business center of any city is the
resultant of a large number of forces eX-
erted in different directions This is par
railroad station and the allied influences
are pulling westward. The Mormon
church IS continually pulling TO the north,
where its chief interests are Centered.
| This was strikingly illustrated in its fight
made to locate the federal building on
the corner of South Temple and Main
streets, almost under the shadow of the
temple. The best residence district of the
city is pulling with great force to the
east The fine agricultural and fruit sec
ton, with its rapidly Increasing popula-
| ton. is pulling with ever-increasing
force to the south.
In 10 this time the fUtnrCnptioD of AToir,
| and Second South streets has been gem
of Salt Lake City. The forces enumerated
above seem TO he so nicely balanced that
il is not likely that there will be any rev.
dictionary change in the center of bust
ness for some years to come. The city
is so fortunately situated that there is
nothing to retard expansion in any direc-
ton, and in this particular Salt Lake
City has vital advantage over most 9TH
er cities, especially those located on
bodies of water.
Expanding in All Directions.
Salt Lake City is expanding in all di-
rectiOns and there is a good demand for
real estate in every section of the city
The business district is spreading out in
the form of a circle, and while the move
ment may seem to be more pronounced
in some directions than in Others the
growth is clearly noticeable in all direc-
lions.
The same may be said as to the resi-
dence districts. Of course it has come stO
be recognized by all that Brigham street
is the finest residence street in the city.

principals in this company.

the laying out of each new boulevard and
the erection of each fine residence adds
to the attractiveness of the section.
A City of Small Homes.
On the west side are to be found more
of the small homes OF the city. as a mat
ter of course This is where the rail-
road men, the shop men and other wage
workers build their homes. So many of
these have already been built, such SUBJ
stantial and attractive little cottages, that
Salt Lake City is coming TO have the rep
utatlon OF city of pretty little homes.
Many OF these are within easy walking
distance OF work for the men, and they
are increasing in number with marvellous
rapidity. This is especially true in the
southwest. and this is the direct result of
good sidewalks and promised sewer adj
vantages,
OFF to the south and southeast the city
is building with giant strides. The south
east especially has always been cOnSid-
cred desirable section for small homes
because of the natural beauty of the
scenery, the water for irrigation and the
good fruit and garden advantages. ST.
summing it all up. it is WITHIN reason to
OF a circle, and this statement holds gOo0
as TO the residence districts as we'll as

Easy Matter to Invest.
This characteristic of the city's growth
makes it easy matter for investors 10
plant their money. They can shut their
eyes and invest with perfect safety OF
course, some sections are mucn better
than others, but there the property costs
much more. Some sections will grow
much faster than others, and money IN
vested there will bring better returns
but any JudiciOus investment in any Sec
ton of the city will bring good returns.
A feature of the real estate movement
of the year was the interest conferred in
fine residence additions to the city The
best OF these were in the east mort beast
and southeast The plans when carried
out. will add materially to the beauty OF
those sections of The city. 1t is certain.
too, that when the street car company
has its proposed lines completed and
good service is given by means of ex-
tenSlve loops, many other fine additions
VIII be opened in sections now considered
remote.
On the whole the year has been a most
satisfactory one in the realm of real
estate. The volume of business has been
good. There has been no boom, nor any
thing that savored of a boom, and vet
the city leaped forward with a Vigor not
heretofore exhibited. The Real Estate
association has been an important fac
tor in keeping business within proper
bounds. The year 1907 has left an in
delible mark on the city. and for this the
real estate interests must have full
credit.

1t is reasonably certain that it always
will be. In fact, it promises to be one OF
the finest residence streets in America.
This means, of course, that the east side
of the city is the fine residence section.
In time Capitol hill and the north bench
will challenge this, but the statement
must stand for, the present. In the east
high prices for residence property pre-
vail. and the paving of each new street,
the laying out of each new boulevard and
the erection of each fine residence adds
to the attractiveness of the section.

How to Reach Oil Fields.
Facilities for reaching the oil country
are good via Modena to St. George

or via Lund and the Kimball hack line

plentiful and prices for hauling are rea-
sOnable.
