Each polling place was enlivened by
fist fights, there being so many that it
was impossible to keep track Of them.

That Commercial District of
Salt Lake Is Bound to Elk
tend in a Southern Direction

IF had any idle money, no one could
be so fleet as to beat me to South Main
street with it, and I would buy corners
at Fifth and Sixth South and property
in State street, too"
Samuel NewhOuse said this and some
other things yesterday in reviewing the
real estate situation as affected by the
recent Auerbach purchases, and the sum
of his observations seems tc nave

by Horece Greeley when he advised young

so long as they don't go beyond the city

years from today State street, Main street
and West Temple street, south of Third
South, will be important business thor
OughfaTes. Mark this. Five years from
today Main and Fifth or Main and Sixth
South street corners will be just as i'm
portant as Main and Second South street
is today.
Three years ago Mr.. Newhouse offered
the Walker estate 5000 a front foot for
the site of the Walker bank. He was
turned down. He went across the street
and offered NJ. II. Walker 5000 a front
foot for the Smith Drug site. Again he
was refused He offered the Salisbury
interests 5000 a front foot for the Ken
yOn hotel corner and was thrice refused.
Absolutely no price would be set on any
of this property.
Consequently Mr.. Newhouse had to go
south in Main street to get a corner
and to get this corner he had to make a
new street. He built two monuments and
surrounded them with other propositions.
A Salt Lake banker who was a dear
friend of Mr. Newhouse implored him not
to go ahead on so gigantic a scale A
national magazine dubbed his new build
ings ''Newhouse follies." He was said
to be irrational, and "shrewd'' investors
in local read estate shook their heads
over what they termed the mad career
of Sam Newhouse."
Three Years Later.
