That the revenue TO be earned by
money invested in houses Of all de-
scriptions IN Salt Lake Is worth the
consideration OF investors. will at once
become apparent to the person who
finds Il necessary TO rent for either
domestic or business purposes. Those
who have money for investment in this
way are fast becoming cognizant sof
the fact. Although the past year has
witnessed a decided building boom,
houses are not plentiful FOR rental,
und upon this fact and the showing
this week made by the books Of The
building inspector. as compared to tho
figures Tor the corresponding week Of
last year. is based the general belief
that the coming building season will
open unusually early and be productive
OF greater activity than has ever be-
fore been witnessed.

week was that by which Raleigh a.

The usual dullness that follows the

dence. and but few transactions are
noted Those which have taken place
during the week have been confined
to the sugars at the figures named be-
low. Considerable interest was aroused
by the official notice appearing in the
News" from the Consolidated Wagon
a. Machine company, calling a special
stockholders meeting TO consider an
Increase OF the capital stock and the
retirement Of the common stock This
company's securities are so largely
dealt IN that there has been some in
Quiry as To the plan proposed, but in
ouiries from the officials state that
the meeting Us merely called to dis
cuss the proposition, and that moth
ing has as yet been agreed upon. The
enlargement OF the business and the
decision TO enter new fields. viii rem
der necessary an increase of the capi-
tai stock and the question then arises
as TO whether the increase should be
of the two classes OF stock or Of only
one, Il is understood that some of the
leading stockholders favor having the
company issue but one class and for
that purpose to retire the present is
sue or common stock. n a fair basis
can be arrived at between the two
classes.

DAYTON. Wash, March IL
Mountain lions and wildcats are
more numerous and more ferocious
in the Blue Mountains this spring
than ever before. Several range
horses have been reported killed.
and in one or two instances men
have been attacked by these ami
mails.
Ben Magill returned yesterday
from trip to the Tukanon and re-
ported the killing of a valuable
saddlehorse belonging to r. w. Ma
gill. The lion sprang from tree
under which the horse sought shell
ter from a snowstorm. Less than
a month ago, Frank Lotzen, a
Tukanon farmer, was attacked by
a cat at the entrance of his cabin
and saved his life only by beating
off his assailant with an ak. 1t is
not uncommon this spring to find
cats and even lions prowling about
barnyards and along the roads.
More cat bounties have been paid
this spring than for twenty years.
Trappers and hunters attribute
the holiness of the animals to a
scarcity of small game and the pro-
tracted winter, with an unusual
depth of snow.

however, that the plan was started
