ger some information, and he went
away.
Now, the natural question is: Did
that man find what he wanted?
IF his wants could be supplied in
Utah. 1t would be to the advantage of
the city and of the state to put him in
touch with the right people,"
Inquiry at Mr.. Perkes' brought out
the fact that the visitor was a manu-
facturer of asbestos and the owner of
the largest plant in the country. He
left his card with Mr.. Perkes, but it
was mislaid. 1t is understood that he
returned east Mr.. Mariger informed
him that there are reported deposits of
asbestos in Utah, and gave him the
names of several persons from whom he
could make inquiries.
I'm other cities" said Mr.. futile, "a
business man and capitalist who ap-
pears with thoughts of developing re-
sources or starting enterprises is not
allowed to drop out of sight. We
should adopt the keen, aggressive
methods of other places. We should
show the business men among our WIS.,
itors all the advantages which the city
and the state offer, and after they go
away. we should correspond with them
until their ideas of entering this field
take shape.
There are streams of tourists pass
ing through the city every day. The
man who could devise a plan to give
them additional interest in Salt Lake
and cause them to tarry longer or cause
each of them to spend S. additional
here would be doing an important serv-
ice to the community, as in the course
of a year this would mean much to the
business men of Salt Lake.
But the man who could get~in touch
with the enterprisings business men
among the passing throng and interest
them in the development of Utah's re-
sources would do greater service.
I'VE are every year neglecting Oppor-
tunities to interest capital which other
cities would like to have"

the Teton Valley Real Estate & Invest
ment company. was in Salt Lake yes
terday to confer with Stowe & Palmer
concerning the disposal of $4,000 acres
of land in the Teton valley to settlers.
An agreement was reached by which
Stowe d Palmer will represent the
Teton valley company in Salt Lake.
Mr.. killpack stated that the land con-
trolled by his company is about forty
miles south of Yellowstone National
park, in Idaho. near the Wyoming line.
1t is fertile stretch of country which
is abundantly supplied with water from
thirteen creeks. which flow into the
Teton river. a tributary of Snake river.
The land, he said, is to be sold at prices
ranging from $40 to $50 an acre

and knowing that the valley would be-
come a great farming country, these
settlers used all their rights to get land

more land than they could successfully

Stockholders in the seven railroads
which are to be included in the CONSOLE

I'VE have acquired control of por-
.tiors of this land and will dispose of it.
THE land is fertile. as ! have said.
Much of it is fenced and under culti-
walton. 1t is a good country for all
kinds of farming. The yield of grain
is from thirty to ninety bushels TO the
acre. Wheat has yielded as high as
fifty bushels to the acre. but that is
exceptional. The yield of oats is often
as high as ninety bushels to the acre.
THE hay crop is from three to five
tons to the acre.
ing the valley offer additional induce
ments to settlers. giving promise of flu
ture industrial activity
There are immense deposits of coat
in the Teton valley region, and also de-
posits of silver. lead and copper
Under the valley there is a deposit
of anthracite coal. In the Big Horn
mountains, to the west of the valley,
soft coal is found. This is now being
mined to supply the surrounding terri
tory.
"A survey has been made by the Ore
gon Short Line for a railroad into the
valley from the Yellowstone park
branch. This road will certainly be
built. At present the valley is from
thirty to forty miles from it's shipping
points, Rexburg, st. Anthony and Ash
ton.
MY belief in the early construction
of the railroad into the valley is based
upon the fact that a number of men
employed by the Oregon Short Line are
buying land in the valley"

CAPITALISTS WHO MIGHT INVEST HERE
ARE ALLOWED TO PASS UNNOTICED

In the opinion of Walter G. futile, of
the futile Bros. company, hundreds of
opportunities are every year neglected
which. if seized at the right time, would
bring capital to Salt Lake and to Utah
for the development of industries and
natural resources.
Among the thousands of tourists
who pass through the city every year"
said Mr.. Tuttle, ''are many business
men and capitalists looking for oppor-
tunities for investment. Salt Lake
should have representative whose
duty it should be TO seek among the
visiting strangers for those who might
engage In business here and see that
they are supplied with proper informa-
ton concerning the resources of the
state; and after their departure, this
representative should keep in touch
with them so as to keep alive their in
terest in Utah.
The right sort of man engaged in
this work would be of incalculab BILE
value to the city and to the state.
i VIII give you an example. One
day ! visited the exhibit of the re-
sources of the state at the Chamber of
Commerce. While / was there my at
tention was attracted by a man who
was making ipquiries concerning some
sort of mineral. He was the owner of
plants in Canada and in the east, and
was the largest handler of the product
concerning which he was making in
quiries. He wished TO know if Utah
contained any of the mineral in which
he was interested.

Lake Real Estate association, was I'M
able TO furnish him the information

The supreme court yesterday handed
down on opinion in which the decision

The jury awarded the full amount
asked for, and the companies appealed
The supreme court holds that the evil
dence was sufficient to substantiate the
jury's verdict, as it took twelve days
to take the sheep to Omaha while the
ordinary time is from four to six days
II was also shown that not sufficient
stops were made to feed and water the
animals.

AS some men folk are born and de-
stined to be the original fall guy In
that which of mishaDs and misfits to
them befall in the world, so, too there
are women whose star was not in the
| ascendancy or in the proper house. OF
these Mrs. A. F. De Courcey is one.
Mrs. De Courcey is the original fall
guyess
Mrs De Courcey lives in Spokane-at
least she will live there if the tide OF
evil that is on her track and trail does
not overtake her before she is safely at
home again.
Mrs. De Courcey is a strikingly hand
some woman. She has not the doll face,
| but she has the face of one who has
character and force and power. Mrs.
De Courcey is well dressed. Her attire
is faultless. There is no suggestion of
i'll taste about her gowns. Mrs. De
Courcey has an abundance of beautiful
black hair. all of which grew on Mrs
De Courcey's head. and none of which
was made in Germany. Mrs. De Cour-
cey has the slightest suggestion of gold
in her teeth-not too much, but jus.
enough to lend that charm, don't you
know?
Not more than three or four days ago
Mrs. De Courcey was in the sleepy viii
lage of Minneapolis. where they hear

company turns on the faucet and lets

Two days ago Mrs. De Courcey was
in Colorado Springs. Mrs. De Courcey
was in full and complete possession of
all her faculties, railroad ticket to
Spokane. $40 in cash and draft for
s136. Mrs. De Courcey left the hotel in
Colorado Springs bereft of her $40 in
cash and her draft for s136. A portion
of her faculties she retained, as well as
her railroad ticket.
The trip from Colorado Springs hither
did Mrs. De Courcey a deal of good, for
she stepped daintily from the cars here,
with the intention of passing a few
hours in Zion. Mrs. De Courcey was
struck with the notion that perhaps she
would never again have so excellent an
opportunity of bathing in Great Salt
lake as this, so Mrs. De Courcey went
to Saltair.
Arrived there. she acquired for tenn
porary use a bathing suit. a pair of
stockings. key to a door which leads

Thus equipped, Mrs. De Courcey en-

the usual number of feminine shrieks,
Mrs. De Courcey found herself in the
brine But Mrs. De Courcey also found
something else. Horrors, She found
that one of her stockings was coming
off.

claimed

Once again the woman she was, with

better and started for town.
Mrs. De Courcey, when she got on
the train that was to bear her north

she have left that ticket? Where could
she have lost it? She had no money to

all of Mrs. De Courceys strength of
mind, she broke down and cried The
conductor who attends to suffering hu-
manity between here and Ogden did
not put her off at Pennington nor Lay
ton. No. indeed: he was kind-hearted
conductor and took her to Ogden
AT Ogden Mrs. De Courcey was as
badly off as ever, and she wanted to
get away from Ogden. Many people
who are envious 'of the Junction CITY
have experienced the same desire, they
maliciously say. The railroad was as
kind as the conductor had been, and
Mrs. De Courcey was shipped back to
Salt Lake.
Wise woman that she was, she con-
fded her troubles to a policeman. The
policeman was kind. and he confided
Mrs. De Courcey and her troubles to
Ben Haywood of the Cullen hotel. Mr.
Haywood was kind to Mrs. De Courcey,
as he is to all, so he placed room at
her disposal.
In the meantime Mrs. De Courcey
was reminded that she had not par
taken of food for many, many hours,
and. being a healthy. vigorous woman,
she felt the need of nourishment and
sustenance, Again the police came to
her relief. and then a great and shining

WATER is BEING WASTED.
HOLIDAY Wants Three Inspectors to

Thomas Holiday. superintendent of
waterworks. complains that there is
r1uch needless waste of water in the
lty, and he will ask for three inspec-
tors at S2.25 a day each TO patrol the

cry of a tap which has been running
continuously for two years because the
property owner could not shut 1t off.
is one of the reasons leading up 20 this
request. This occurred in the Capitol
hill district. where the people have
been suffering from a water famine.
Holiday says that there would be plen-

cautiously.
