READY FOR BROKERS SOON
Mining Exchange Building, Almost
Completed, Presents an Artistic
Appearance.

During the past week work has pro-
gressed at a satisfactory rate on the
handsome home of the Salt Lake Stock
& Mining Exchange on Exchange
place. Carpenters, steamfitters and
marble workers have been busy in get
ting the structure ready for occupancy.
Everything points to an early compile
ton Of the building.
The six outside front oak doors are
all in place. as are most Of the interior
doors, and a force of men has been busy
during the past few days in putting in
the marble wainscoting in the vestibules
and halls.
The spacious pit, which before long
will be the scene Of a struggling. fren-
Zied crowd of brokers. is being fitted up
with oak stairs leading to the galleries
on the east and west sides of the big
room, which is well lighted by twenty
eight windows and skylght. Carpen-
tiers have almost completed the oak rail-
ings to be placed inside the pit. The
radiators for heating purposes are prac-
ticaliy all in place.
The massive stone front OF the build
ing presents a most artistic appear
ance 1t is unique and distinctive; there
IS nothing else like il in the city.

FIFTY THOUSAND
PERSONS NEEDED
Realty Dealer Says Salt Lake
Requires That Many More
Residents.
OPENINGS ARE PLENTIFUL
CHANCES IN ALMOST ANY LINE
OF BUSINESS ARE GOOD.

"Wanted-Fifty thousand people to
make their homes in Salt Lake"
A prominent real estate dealer Of the
city. with an office on Main street, de-
clares that favorable answer to this
want ad is just what Salt Lake most
needs at this time Furthermore, he
states that the city could assimilate
this added population within thirty
days without any depressing effects on
conditions generally, and that within
very short time after the thirty-day
limit the city would be given just the
impetus which it needs.
That Salt Lake is in urgent need of
an expanded business district, with the
resulting establishment of more busl-
ness houses, is a fact generally recog-
nized by all those conversant with the
situation" said this dealer yesterday.
There aren't enough business houses
to DO the business of a city this size.
We need more business firms; we need
more competition.
There is not a line Of business in
which an opening cannot be found, and
with profit to the investors. With the
competition resulting from added bust
ness houses. profits to the owners
might be shaved off to a certain extent
but this would result to the benefit Of
the people generally.
II know of two little restaurants on
Main street that are clearing from $780,
600 to $4,000 a year each. This looks
to me like more than a proportionate
and proper return on the money in
vested. What is needed then? More
restaurants. it would seem. And even
with the addition of more restaurants,
| the owners of the places mentioned
would still be sure of patronage which
would pay them well on the investment.
Some people might look on the idea
Of dumping $4,000 people into Salt Lake
in one day as a cataclysm or a catas-
trOphe Of some sort, but I am surely of
the opinion, after having made a study
of the conditions generally, that this
number could readily be assimilated.
Contractors need more laborers-skilled
and unskilled-and the 1aborers among
the added population would soon find
work. True, there would not be work
for all of them, but not all of the $4,000
would be comparatively poor, and
those that had money would soon look
for hOmesites and begin the erection of
homes. Thus there would be added Ia
Dor needed
while there is not much likelihood
of that number of people being unload
ed on this city in one day, or one
month, or perhaps one year. still the
population is increasing rapidly. They
come in thousands and adapt them
selves to their surroundings and scarce
ly ripple in the situation results"

TO LIGHT EXCHANGE PLACE
Nineteen Gooseneck Iron Posts Win
Be Installed With Big Arc
IamDs.
Iamps.

Plans have been perfected for the
lighting of Exchange place from Main
street to State street, which win make
this thoroughfare one of the best lighted
In the city. Nineteen gooseneck iron
posts, sixteen feet high, are to be in
stalled, and will be fitted with luminous
arc lamps similar TO those in use on
South Temple street. Six posts of sim
liar design will also be erected in front
of the NewhOuse and Boston buildings
on Main street.
Samuel Newhouse VIII bear the ex-
pense of putting in the lights, but an
allowance for lighting may be asked
from the city, on the ground that the
erection of the skyscrapers has increased
the city's revenue by raising the prop
erty values in that vicinity. 1t has been
pointed out that the city might be hest
tant Of granting such a request, because
of the precedent that would be estab-
lished.
Both the Newhouse and the Boston
buildings are now said to be about 20
per cent full. and the rent roll of the
Boston is said to be within $50 of the
Newhouse building. The efforts of A. S.
Bibbins, who has charge Of the rentals
of the properties, to make the Boston
building the home of professional men
and to fill the Newhouse building with
the offices Of engineers. architects, sur
veyors, manufacturers and others, have
been very successful.

WORKING CARD
RULE SUSPENDED
Unions Delay Enforcement of
Order Which Might Have
Caused Strike.

Labor troubles growing out Of the de-
termination Of contractors and sub-con-
tractors to employ nOn-union labor in
the erection Of the steel framework of
the Utah hotel are now threatening be-
tween the Building Trades council and
the Erectors' association.
An order announcing that after Oct. e
the Building Trades Council working
card would be enforced on all building
Jobs, issued by E. A. DUnsby, secretary
Of the council would have gone into eff
feet yesterday, causing a widespread
strike and tieup Of building activity in
Salt Lake had net the contractors and
the council reached a temporary agree
ment. The order has been temporarily
countermandsd.
Mr.. Dunsby said yesterday that there
was every indication that the matter
would be settled peaceably, but the two
factions are still at outs.
At present there are many non-uniOn
workers employed in this city. Unless
an agreement is reached by which these
either take out union cards or quit their
Jobs, a general strike Of all men en-
ployed in building work viii be called
within two weeks.
The dispute began when the sub-con
tract for the steel work at the Utah no
tel was let to the Jones Construction
company. 1t is alleged that the Jones
Construction company is an open shop"
giving no preference to union labor.

SUGAR HOUSE TO
GET PURE WATER
Capitalists File on Flow From
Parley'S Canyon Natural
Springs.

a project which means much TO the
people living in the southeastern part
Of the city, and those who are contem-
plating making homes there, has been
launched by local capitalists The
project calls for the establishment of a
waterworks system for Sugar House
and outlying districts, a system which
this district has long been in need Of.
Ray Van Colt and Samuel Russell,
local attorneys. yesterday made appli-
cation with the state engineer for five
cubic feet per second of the flow from
the natural springs in the bed of Par
ley's canyon stream near Twelfth South
and Eleventh East streets, which is to
be diverted and conveyed in pipes to
residences all through the southeastern
suburbs.
About a year and a half ago plans fer
the waterworks were first brought up,
at which time application for the wa
ter was filed. 1t was expected that
work on the wateTwoTks would be be-
gun at once, but litigation involving
right to the water of the stream caused
a postponement Of the arrangements
With the litigation out Of the way, the
| company intends TO go back to the orig
inal plans.
The water rises from the bed Of the
stream, and at present is used only dur
Ing few weeks Of the summer The
application asks for the flow Of the
springs the year round. While there
has been some question previously as to
whether or not the waterworks COM
pany could secure the flow in the sum
mer time, it is said that arrangements
have now been completed whereby the
water can be obtained the year round.
According to the prime movers in the
| project, the waterworks viii certainly
be built and the system will extend a
number of miles In the southeastern
part Of the city. 1t is not known lust
when work will be commenced. but II
is said that it will be either this winter
or spring.

ADDITION
TO POSTOFFICE
Photographs of Federal Build
ing Taken for the Super
ViSing Architect.

Photographs were taken Saturday of the
federal building and it's surroundings, for
the use Of the supervising architect of
the treasury department, at Washington,
in connection with the preparation of
plans for the proposed addition 20 the
building, which are now under way.
The plans call for a thirty-fOot addi-
ton, at the rear of the structure, al
though Postmaster Arthur L. Thomas has
been working TO get a forty-foot addi-
ton, as It is said that another addition
win have to be considered as soon as
the one at present proposed is completed,
in view Of the increasing business of the
office.
The added room to be given Is needed in
the Workroom Of the postoffice on the
first floor, as there is no place to in
stall a new pouch rack, which is one of
the needed features, while the putting
on of more carriers will make still more
space necessary The addition will be
carried on through the upper floors Of
the building.
With the present surroundings of the
postoffice, the additional room needed
could be secured either by making the
addition at the rear or making the height
of the structure greater but the design
of the building is such that it would de-
tract from the architectural beauty Of the
structure to add one or two stories, so
that the other plan, of spreading out"
was decided upon.

Lake capitalists has purchased for $177,-
900 a tract of $500 acres Of what is said
to be very fine fruit land near Bellevue,

various settlers. Negotiations for trans
fers were carried on by the Idaho De-
velopment company, a Twin Falls real
estate firm.
The names of the Salt Lake capital
lists back Of the big colonization project
are not known at this time. The tract
of land has been taken over with a view
to its capitalization into a strong or
ganiZation as soon as practicable, and
its development somewhat along the
same lines as fruit lands have been han

employed to superintend planting oper-
atiOns, and within a short time 500 acres

munerative harvesting after the fruit
ripens.
Part of the big acreage purchased will
be sold to cOlOnists who desire to engage
in general agricultural pursuits. 1t is
said that all kinds of fruits prosper on
this area, particularly apples and pears,
sweet cherries and the small fruits.

COMING
To THE FRONT
Great Activity in Building, and
Realty Attracts Much
Notice.

The great activity during the past
week in building and realty on the
southeast bench, both in and near the
city limits, is the occasion for consid-
cradle comment among the real estate
dealers generally. This section Is COM
ing to the front rapidly.
In the vicinity of Twelfth South and
Eleventh East streets several business
structures are already well under way.
and others are being planned for that
section. One firm, the Granite Lumber
company, is expending $4,000 in i'm
prOvements, and another concern will
build a mill for all sorts of woodwork
at a cost of about $S,O00
All along the crest of the hill to a
point even as far south as Thirteenth
South street, pretty bungalows and
modern homes of various STYLES of
architecture dot the hillsides Every
where there are signs of building &C
uvity. Where once the ground was
given over to the growth of scrubby
bushes, sagebrush and wild grasses,
now are to be found beautiful resi-
dences.
The residence district has been grad
ually spreading out along the bench
district. Following the settling up Ct
the district just south of the university.
the trend has been southwark. Several
years ago farmers lived undisturbed by
the sound of electric cars in what is
now the extreme southeastern part of
the city. Their houses stood in the
midst of tract of farm land Now
their neighbOrs have encroached on their
domain. Investment companies have
purchased their lands and cut them up
into building sites, and hundreds of
homes now stand where once were only
few farm houses. This expansion
condition is still a lively element. Sew
eral companies have recently purchased
big tracts of land which will be cut up
into lots. 1t is said that the biggest
subdivision ever placed on the market
will soon be formed from acreage pur-
cha sd
