MANY BUILDINGS
WILL BE ERECTED
Local Architects Have Many
Orders and Are Optimistic
Over Future.

Building operations In the coming
year will be far more extensive than
they have been in the year nearing it's
architects, who are now preparing plans
for $16S,OO0 worth Of apartment houses
and more than $4,000 worth of small
residences. The work on these new
structures will be started before the
opening of spring.
Here is the view taken by Cahoon s.
Hansen:
when we stop to think of the build
ings erected within the last two years,
and the dozen other business buildings
erected within the last few months they
would seem enough to make even a
born pessimist change his views in re-
gard to the advancement of our town.
THE plans are now well under way
for several new structures of the sky
scraper type, the new Kearns Office
building, the Moran building, the new
Auerbach department store, which,
when completed. will be one of the fin
est department stores in the west; the
new buildings contemplated by the
United Cigar Stores company, and the
numerous other business buildings
either contemplated or under construc-
ion give some idea Of what Salt Lake
is bound to become,

the business district is entirely made

and as a result high premiums are Of

of the business district.

Sixty-four banks-three Of them pri-

FINEST BUILDING
OF SIZE IN CITY
COStIieSt Three Story StruC-
ture in Salt Lake viii Be
Finished Soon.

When It is finished, the new Grosheu
building at PAT State street will be the
most expensive three-story structure in
Salt Lake. Realty men are unanimous in
the opinion that such stability and lux
try in building is typical of the faith in
present-day investments.
When completed the building will house
the finest cash register store between
Chicago and the coast, with the one ex-
ception Of the Denver establishment Os-
car Groshell, who bought the property on
state street four years ago, with the
present building in view, will move from
his Main street business home and pre-
side over the new establishment. The
National Cash Register company, which
he represents, viii occupy the north half
Of the lower floor, and the south half
will be used by the Fred Bramm Auto
Supply company.
The two upstairs stores Of the build
ing viii be known as the Hotel Clarence,
and the plans contemplate a modern no.
tel of thirty-siX rooms, with every up-tO-
date appointment.
The building, to be known as the Gro
shell-FOrshee, will represent an outlay Of
$50, 000 II is built of the finest material

Salt Lake.
Twenty years ago Oscar Groshen was
running a ticket-scalping office at his
present location in Main street. Fifteen
years ago he assumed control of the Salt
Lake agency of cash registers, and made
money. -Four years ago he used some of
his accommodations to invest in State street
property, and therefore showed faith in
the spread of the business center. His
lease on the Main street store runs for
another ten months, but he viii be doing
business over in State street within few
weeks.

lots lie untouched, awaiting the transit
ton that is to come. Those who recall
the upbuilding of West Second South
street, the activity about the new Short
Line depot and the traffic that always fol-
lows in the wake of a commercial mag
net. look to the neighborhOod of the new
Rio Grande depot for a great building
boom in the near future
The street is not yet paved. although
the work, under the guidance of 2. J.
Moran, has been fairly started. The two
corners facing the main entrance Of the
building are very desirable locations,
while OF either side of them along both
streets, a general erection of store build
ings is expected as soon as the traffic
begins to change from the old depot to

ARE BOOSTING PRICES.
Some Danger Caused by Action Of
Property Owners.

THE main danger with the situation
now is with the property owners" OBJ
serve Stowe & Palmer, in their weakly
real estate review. THE fact there is
a good market is arousing the cupidity
of some, so that they are seeking to
advance prices away ahead Of the 10
cal market, thus killing the goose that
lays the golden egg If the mass of
property owners will content them
selves with fair profits and sell when
they have an opportunity to get prices
giving them reasonable advances, the
market is bound to be active and
healthy.
THE principal interest continues to
be in business property, especially that
near the edge of the principal business
district. The city is growing so rapidly
that an enlargement of the business dis
trice is being forced. The announce
ment by the Walkers that they will put
large building on their property, just
south of the Newhouse hotel, is signifi-
cant of this fact Other large deals OF
similar import are likely to be an

will be one of the finest in the west, and
while ii may not rise to imposing heights,
il will have the length and interior d.
menslOnS TO accommodate large amount

Work has been progressing rapidly and
a visit to Third South and Fourth West
streets is a revelation. While the main
part and center of the building is not yet
under roof, the two wings to the north
and south are practically completed on
the outside. The tracks, running paral-
lei with the building on the west have
been laid and the efforts of local work
men have kept the building abreast Of
the arrival of material
1t is a striking fact that all of the
work IN that neighborhood is centered on

as well as along Fourth West in the

COURT DEGREES THAT
STOCK MUST BE HELD

Judge c. ". Morse of the district
court yesterday granted a temporary
restraining order against John G..
Pierce on motion of Charles H. Lenzi
to keep Pierce from dispOsing of any
Of the $4,000 shares of the capital
stock of the Pierce Bread Cutting De-
vice company, which were received by
Pierce for his patent bread cutter when
the articles of incorporation were filed.
Lenzi claims he and Pierce were to re-
Ceive half each for the patent, upon
which they both worked. But Pierce,
he claimed, received the patent and
then organized a company without let
ting LenZi in at all.

JUST CONSIDERATION IS
GIVEN, SAYS W00LLEY

filed yesterday to the suit of Robert

five $500 notes to him for just con-.
sideration, and that Murdoch is not
entitled to the $4,000 for which he has
brought suit in the district court Muir
dock claimed he gave the notes TO
Woolley to negotiate for him. but that

as the small merchant finds good busi-
ness in that locality, so will the real es-
tate man and the larger merchant profit.
Warehouses will soon go up, one sale
of property for that purpose having been
reported during the week. The influx Of
new business into that section will have
the effect Of creating better business pro-
positions all along Third South street,
stretching clear to the business center.
Starting from Main street there are few
desirable opportunities that have not al
ready been taken up. The grasping Of
others, west of West Temple. and clear
to Fourth West, will come as a matter
of course.
Real estate men report some activity
along the street, and they know the effect
of the changing of the depot well enough
to see ahead a swift-changing series Of
events that will mean increased business
activity along a street that has been,
heretofore, purely residential. During the
coming year there should be marked ac-
tivity in that section, and the opening Of
negotiations cannot be far off.

skyscrapers of New York.

And, speaking of the s1yscrapers that
have been built, together with those
that are on the Way-Pat MOrans, the
Salt Lake Security and Trusts, to say
nothing of the Newhouse and Utah
hotels-shrewd investors in Salt Lake
realty do not figure that every new
Main-stTeet building must reach into
the clouds. Alongside of the NewhOuse
buildings. he Salisbury interests have
constructed a less towering edifice.
Under the caves Of the Mccormick and
Mcintyre buildings, Galloway, Hook
& Francis erected a modest building.
An authority, taking Gotham view
point. says that there are ten acres of
vacant offices in the skyscrapers of
lower Manhattan. And skyscrapers are
still boring their way heavenward. 1t
is further argued that if the whole Of
lower New York were occupied by sky
scrapers twenty stories or more in
height, and all of the offices were
filled, it would require seven times the
present street room for people TO get
to and from these offices. Streets
would have to be built in stories to ac-
cOmmodate the thrOngs.
It is figured that there is use for only
one building of fourteen stories on eacn
block in New York. But then, it must
be remembered, Salt Lake blocks are
twice as big as those in New York.

Competition on Paper.

There was competition in those lays
The real estate reporter, ashamed OF
the few notes that represented DAY S
work, became possessed OF a pipe. II
may have been a cob, always a capital
producer of dreams. But it was pipe.
He built skyscrapers with the reckless
abandon of a youth spending his dad 5
money. When space was plenty and
news scarce he erected a gun factory
or a new interurban terminal station
1t grew mOnOtOnOus to wall in the main
street with Widowed mOnOlithS and, by
way of diversion, there arose, day after
day in the pipe dreams Of the eager
writer. other structures that swelled
the building activity to feverish height.
In those days, too, the real estate
reporter on the opposition paper, TAX
ing the pipe scoops of his rival serious
". tore down each succeeding structure
with a ruthless hand, picturing each
new advance in municipal upbuilding
with vicious, vindictive force. And, dur
ing the wholesale transfer and improve
ment of business and residential prop
erty. the public had something to read
about, and no harm was done
Yet. out of those dreams there has
come something tangible. Some Of
them. with no more nucleus than an
idea. have materlaliZed and become real.
BY the same token that the real estate
reporter no longer has to fake, he no
longer despairs Of finding legitimate
news The Newhouse movement opened
eyes that are still seeing and started
a growth that is undated. If Mr.. New
house had not done it. someone else
would, for the opportunity only awaited
the grasping. Now, the skyscra pers,
the warehouses, the homes and count
less buildings are scattered with the
prodigal fantasy Of the stars of heaY-
en- in Salt Lake. and the dream of the
earnest writer is being unfoIded in real
