RAILROAD MEN PUTTING
UP MANY FINE HOUSES

West Of the Denver & Rio Grande
tracks, and between North Temple
street and Sixth South street, there has
been a tremendous amount Of building
and while it is mostly in small houses
and cottages, the activity denotes a
beaIthfuI condition west Of the tracks,
Real estate men report many operations
in that portion Of the city, and the ter
ritory is generally accepted by railroad
men as the logical place to build their
homes. It is a fact that most of the
new houses have been built for men who
work on the railroads or ia the railroad
shops, and the location is conveniently
near their place Of employment.

BUILDING SITES
RAISE IN PRICE
Owners of Federal Heights
Contemplate Boosting
Prices Soon

Following the announcement from
many Of the owners Of new residence
additions in different parts Of the city
that a general increase IN the prices OF
building lots had been made, comes the
statement from the owners Of Federal
Heights property that IN the near tu-
ture there will be a blanket increase IN
the prices charged for all unsold build
ing sites there.
In view of the fact that the announce
nent is made just at the close OF the
fall real estate season, when there is
generally supposed to be a lull IN realty
conditions during the winter months
the event is peculiarly significant OF the
real estate situation here. As to FEEDER
al Heights particularly, it should be
mentioned that the addition has just
been accepted by the city ana viii
henceforth be considered within the nu-
nicipal limits. This Of itself, 1t is
claimed by the owners, should make
property there more valuable, or at least
more attractive to residents.
The proposed increase III prices, how
ever, calls attention especially 10 the
general tendency through the city TO
place property in a higher class as re-
CARDS values and to bring prices TO a
level more in keeping with the excellent
conditions which have existed here for
the last two or three years. 1t has been
pointed out many times that property
values here were much lower than in
other cities, notably san Francisco, Sc
attic and Portland, and the manner IN
which investors from those places have
been coming to this city, purchasing
property, and then selling it back to
Salt Lake people, has. been the subject
o. much comment,
It is stated by many realty dealers
now that the move to increase the price
Of building lots in the residence addI-
lions is simply the beginning Of an at
tempt to bring prices to the place where
they ought to be IN comparison with
what is obtained by the owners Of sim
ilar property in other cities Of the Pa
cific and intermountain west, 1t is de-
serving Of especial comment they say
that the owners Of the Federal Heights
property, who have been so ultra-con-
| servative, have expended thousands OF
dollars for the improvement Of The
property there, and have continued &c

which were charged at the opening OF

was unusually valuable and should be

FINE BRICK CAN
Be MADE HERE
Sand for New Kind of Building
Material Is Plentiful Near
Salt Lake.

Mountains Of silica sand, Just north
Of salt Lake, and Of a variety from
which the very best Of transparent
brick may be produced, promise to open
an important industry in this city in
the very latest wrinkle Of building ma
terials.
one Of the recent novelties fin the pros
duction of building material is a trans-
Darent brick, the use of which is ale
ready said to have gained wide popu-
larity in Paris and other European
cities. According to information re-
ceived by the Utah Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, the production Of transparent
brick from this sand is comparatively
inexpensive.
Those who take chief interest in in-
vestgating building materials for the
association, intend to have the silica
sand in the mountains Just north Of the
city analysed and then secure expert
opinion on the best method Of opening
the industry. From data already OBJ
tanned. it is the understanding that the
silica in the sand contains tine very best
Of material for the manufacture o.
transparent brick. 49,

FINE WAREHOUSE SITE
SOLD TO A. H. VOGELER

A. H. Vogeler. the seed man, has no
tieed the trend of building toward the
vicinity OF the new Denver & Rio
Crande depot, and has purchased for
10000 two pieces Of ground in the
SQUARE bounded by Second and Third
west and Fifth and Sixth South street.
one piece Is 5x10 rods and another 7x9
rods. One piece has a frontage on
Fifth South street. it was purchased
bv Mr.. Vogeler from Jane Anderson.
Mr.. Vogeler is undecided as to what
he shall do with the property, but it is
likely that he will find a ready buyer,
I'm case he does not want to improve it
for hts own use, for that portion of the
citv is becoming an attractive location
for warehouses and manufacturing
nlants. since it will be close to the new
Rio Grande freight house. The economy
of short hauls, particularly along such
streets as grace, or disgrace, the west
side, will be seen at once BY the pros
pective purchaser. -.---

OTHER MUNICIPALITY.
NO INTEREST GOES EAST

There Is not a piece Of property In
Salt Lake or vicinity which Is not mar
ketabls-ths first time since the panic
OF 1888.
No Eixty-day period within the last
twenty years has seen the closing OF 10
many big deals or the starting OF 30
many new ones as this last two months.
Salt Lake City is the best city OF 100000
inhabitants in America today.
The most remarkable feature OF the
situation in Salt Lake Is that there Is
sufficient local money for any loan or
to doat any legitimate building scheme.
No legitimate loans are turned down,
and the percentage Of outside capital
used in the building operations here Is
infnitesimal.
While Salt Lake Is growing fast, the
territory around it is bounding ahead
more than any one can imagine, and
vast mineral, irrigation. agricultural
and other resources from the north.
south and east are natural feeders to
this great supply center.

A COnqueror of Circumstance.

Matthew ii. Carpenter, of Wisconsin.
who entered the Senate in 1869, was a
hard student, but never INDUCED In des-
ultory reading. When investigating a
subject, writes II. G. Howard in "Civil
War Echoes" he would never aban-
den the work until it was thoroughly
mastered 1t was this habit that gave
him such tiuency of speech. His skill
in grouping facts before jury, before
court or In the Senate, he always
maintained, was due to his study of the
style Of Clarendon's ''History Of the
Rebellion"
A friend who knew him intimately
and who finished the study Of law with
him. says:
ale was wild, rolliclling boy, full
Of good humor and practical jokes, but
of the kind which are harmless. He
was appointed a cadet at West Point
but after a year or two he could stand
the discipline and restraint no longer
lie obtained furlough, and never re-
turned.
"He had most determined charac-
ter concealed under very jovial, free,
and easy exterior. After he began the
study Of law he became totally blind,
and for two years and half did not
see the light Of day.
although 1t was believed that he
was hopelessly blind, he never faltered
In his determination to master the great
principles of the. law. He had a su-
preme contempt for a mere case lawyer,
and would never read second time
any case that was not decided upon

The accompanying map, prepared as

In Denver, gives AN accurate record In
Its black discs of the number Of bank
robberies In the United States in the

What the yeggman is to metropoli-

Of the Middle and Far West That they
should find centre or activity in the
Mississippi Valley is in itself curious
fact. Their absence from the East and
glimpses into the lives of lawbreakers
past and present are also afforded by
the map and the report of which it
is a part.
During the year there were 80 bur
glaries Of banks in the United States.
The loot was worth $129,004. 40, or an
average of 81 1,450 for each robbery. The
largest loss was $4,000, stolen from
the Farmers and Manufacturers Bank
Of Rock Hill, Mo. The $6.55 stolen from
the State Bank of Hewitt, Mimi, repre-
sented the smallest profit of the law
breakers Some Of the largest bank
thefts were $7,70O, in Adair, ILL.,. $4,000,
in Hanover, S. D.; $6,431. in Church's

The apples that are the easier to
pick are the ones that lie on the
ground. You have only to gather them
up, without taking the time or trouble
to climb the tree. Unless you are ia
miliar with perfect apples those on the
ground seem as sweet and sound as
those which are harder to get. You
can quickly fill your pockets with them
and imagine you have struck something
easy-and so you have. But you
haven't got good apples. Bite into one
of them, and you may find that your
teeth have cut a worm in two. Put
them away for the winter, and in a
week they will be rotten. What you
have got by merely STOPPING and pick
ing 1t up wasn't worth the mere stoop-
ing. And all this is true of many other
things besides apples. 1t is true of
almost everything in life. If you would
fill your pockets with the good things Of
this world, don't waste time on the wind
falls. The apple that falls at your feet
has worm at its core and bruise on
its face. Both will develop in the eat
Ing. To patiently cut them out takes
more time and trouble than to climb
the tree and get apples that are sound.
True, there is a lot of talk about luck,
but 1t is all talk and no luck. He who
only picks up the windfallsof life never
knows luck, and he who climbs the
tree never needs luck. There is no
lazy way to true achievement in any
line Of endeavor.

A great fortune has been held, per Sc,
to be conclusive of double-dealing and
fraud. To be oppressive and dishonest
has been declared the only way to at
tain great financial success. This we
claim to be untrue as statement Of
fact, says Leslies Weekly, and at the
same time a dangerous doctrine by a
plain law of psychology. Young men
want success spelled with a big "S,"
and the ambitious are not satisfied
short Of fair degree of material re-
ward. For this there is no moral
blame. But already the harm has been
done in making the false suggestion
that In order to be successful one has
only to be "slicll," overshrewd, dishon-
est. In the far-reaching influence Of
simple suggestion we have one Of the
most valuable contributions Of modern
psychology. The smallest word of sug-
gestion can reshape career. Thus the
erroneous preaching Of many sincere

honest effort on the part Of every man.
No other thought should ever be sug-

pre-eminence, even though it be finan-
eial, is the way of old-fashioned hon
esty and integrity. These qualities
