LAURELHURST LOTS
IN NEW ADDITION
Prudential Realty Company
Has New Plan for Disposal
OF Property.

Laurelhurst, one Of the largest sub
urban tracts ever placed on the local
market. has been sold out. A deal has
just been closed whereby the Pruden-
tfal Realty company, a local real estate
firm, becomes owner Of the sixty-one
remaining acres in this subdivision. The
purchase price was between $4,000 and
600
The new subdivision, created out Of a
part of the larger subdivision, is to be
known as LaurelhUrst Addition No. 3
The sixty-one acres viii be cut up into
525 lots. and these viii be offered to the
buying public within a few days.
The Prudential Realty company eX-
poets to start a campaign which VIII
bring iu many new residents TO the CITY
Instead Of c0ndning its efforts princi-
pally to the city in the sale of the lots
as has been the case with many of the
companies owning suTUbban tracts. Tt
intends to send agents throughout this
and neighbOring states to dispose OF the
lots.
The new subdivision is situated be-
tween Twenty-third and TWenty-hfth
East streets, and Eleventh and Twelfth
South streets. It covers in length a half
mile of territory. Situated as it is on
the slope At the base of the mountains,
if commands an excellent view Of the
city and the valley, and for that reason,
in addition to its excellent drainage, 1t
is considered a fine place for suburban
residence.
It is assured Of city water, as the con-
duit runs through the property. In adj
dition To city water, which Of course
must be provided later, it has a water
right Of its own sufficient for the irri-
CATION of all small garden tracts that
may be- planted.
The Prudential Realty company, re-
Gently organized under the state law
with a capitalization Of $4,000, has
Samuel Stark and Ernest Wright as its
principal stockholders. Mr.. Wright
was formerly Of the firm Of Butter
worth e Wright, with an Office in Main
street, between South Temple and First
South streets. He has severed his con-
nectiOn with that firm to become .lden-
titled with the Prudential Realty com
pany
In the sale Of the lots I'm the new sub
urban tract no choice of location is
made. When all the lots have been sold,
/ however. a drawing, similar to the
/ Carey act land drawings, will be held.
AS the numbers are drawn out of the
wheel the owners will have choice Of
l location.

GOOD RESIDENCE LOTS
INCREASE IN VALUE

Stowe & Palmer, IN their review Of
the week, say:
During the holiday season the mar
l,at i'm vacant and improved residence
property is generally quiet, and this
ruIe is true Of 1909. The feature Of the
week has been the announcement or the
purchase by the walkers OF the corner
Of Main street and POstOf1ce place,
which they intend to improve. 1t Is no
tioeabIe that shrewd business men who
have long been residents Of salt Lake
are showing their judgment by heavy

the natural duilness of the residence
market. great interest has been shown

prices have steadily gone up as a result
Of tine demand. A general advance VIII

child will now be known as Dereal Fottsi-
Though situated in Nevada, a snort
distance from the Utah line, the rlch
MoaDa country, which is rapidly COM
ing into prominence as a place Tor the
growing of winter vegetables, IS direct
Iy tributary to salt Lake, and is being
developed principally by Salt Lake cap
ital. A number of local companies nave
made big investments in land IN tnal
region, and are contemplating extensive
DEVELOPMENT work. Among the larger
of the companies now in the field are
the Moapa Fruit Land company ana the
Moapa Improvement company
While plans are being made to bring
practically all the available land under
cultivation, at the present time only
about 900 acres are under cultivation.
Land is being cleared at rapid rate
and planted to various garden vegeta-
bles.
Moapa is on the line of the Salt Lake
Route and the Salt Lake and Los An
geles markets are thus brought into
close touch with the region. This thriY-
ing town is located in the valley Of the
Muddy river. South of Moapa there
are a number of towns, Logan, Capa-
lana. Overton and ST. Thomas, which
have promise of becoming among the
most productive places in the west.
To develop properly this fertile valley
there is a plan on foot TO build branch
railroad through the Muddy valley, ex-
tending from Moapa, on the line Of the
Salt Lake Route, down as far as st.
Thomas and perhaps as far as the Colo
RADIO river. A meeting of representa-
tives of the various interests in the val
lev was held yesterday at OvertOn, and
it is altogether likely that the road viii
be built, following action taken at this
meeting.
Up until three years ago the view
from all sides of Moapa station was as
dreary- a spectacle as traveller could
see in a transcontinental trip. The dusty
plain was covered with a stunted
growth OF mesquite and other vegeta-
ton which grows in practically desert
country. But capital has entered the
field. the water of the Muddy river has
been sent in mains and laterals over the
thirsty ground, and now the once arid
land is yielding up a wealth Of vari-

PROBLEM FOR TENANTS
Local Real Estate Firm Has Lease
on Five-Foot Front
ages.

The recent sale Of the Bamberger cor
ncr, Main street and PostofFlce place, to
the Walkers has placed the Peterson
Real Estate Investment company in a
strange predicament. With half Of the
office frontage on the Walker property
and half on the Henry Newell property,
the company is in a quandary as to
just what is to become of their office 10
cation.
a number of years ago, before Post
office place was cut through the block
from Main to West Temple streets, an
aIleyWay ten feet wide was the only
means of entrance or exit to the rear of
the business structures in Main street
between Third and Fourth South
streets. This alleyway was located be-
tween the BambergeT corner and the
Henry Newell block.
When PostohiCe place was cut
through there was no further need for
the alleyway. About five years ago the
Peterson Real Estate Investment COM
pany procured q lease on the ground
and erected an office between the two
buildings. Now, the sale Of the Bam-
berger corner TO the Walkers. who have
announced their intention Of erecting
large building on the site, has resulted
in a rather peculiar condition of af-
fairs.
Half of the Office space of the Peter
son company is located on the Walker
ground and half of it on the Newell
ground. 1t means move, of course, as it
is more than likely that the Walkers
viii use their five feet of right of way
for the new building. AS five feet Of
frontage is hardly enough for office
space. that is, if any of the Arm might
want to turn around when inside, the
firm viii soon be looking for new quar-
tiers

-AIoapa products of such general excel
lence.
Head lettuce, reports from Moapa
say, will be in market the latter part
of this month Onions, lettuce, radishes
and other small vegetables can be
grown in this region all during the Win
ter Asparagus is ready for the table
in February, and while Salt Lake Is
covered with a mantel of snow, gar
deners at MOapa are busiiy engaged at
present i'm cultivating their fields which
are TO furnish this city with its winter
vegetables.
Thomas Judd of st. George, member
of the state horticultural board, speaks
i'm glowing terms of the Moapa district.
He says that the season there is near
ly continuous. the seed time and harvest
being almost always on. The almond
tree blooms about February 3, and the
apricot and peach trees follow in about
ten days. In addition to the raising Of
nuts and fruits mentioned, the choicest
grapes are also grown. Asparagus OF
the finest quality is produced to the ex-
tent of 1900 pounds to the acre, and
shipped at a season when it commands
12iz to 80 cents a pound wholesale.
POmegranates, lemons, walnuts, pecans
and all fruits requiring a semi-trOpic
climate and rich. soil can be grown I'm
this country, and caulifiOwer Of excel
lent quality is a profitable crop.
One of the pictures accompanying
shows the experiment station at MOapa,
where experiments are conducted with
view to finding the products especial
~ adapted for growth In this district.
The other pictures show asparagus and
cAulihower beds, from which growing
plants will be transplanted to the land
just recently cleared Of the scrubDy
growth of vegetation.

One of the most pretentiOus buildings

On the site of the Dinwoodey shop was

Henry Dinwoodey came to Utah in
