REAL ESTATE NOTES.

Considerable interest is taken BY real
estate men in the evidence before the
committee Of sppraIsement on the value
o. the property known as Chase's Thea
ter, which, with other property in the
same square, the government Is seek
ing to acquire by process Of condemna-
uon. This thester IS recognized as one
OF the most valuable pieces of property,
viewed frora TIE standpoint OF its pro-
ductivity, in the city Of Washington
Yet there IS the greatest diversity Of
opinion. apparently, ss TO its value The
facts brought out SO far in the investiga-
ton illustrate the total lack Of any stand
ard OF values which can be appealed TO IN
such cases. When Mr. Chase was before
the commission few days ago, he said
he would be willing to pay S5o0.000 for the
property, and an additional $4,000 for the
entrance lobby extending out 10 Penn
sylvanla avenue. Yesterday several Wit
nesses were before the commission who
placed q value Of s209.00o 10 $4,000 on the
! buildings and $50 a square foot FOR the
site. The former owner Of the building
testified that the original cost OF the
building was S20o.oo0.

New York. May 27.-Probably because Of
the tendencies that developed In yester-
days stock market. and especially in
view OF the fact that the governors OF
the stock exchange, after the close Of
business yesterday. decided TO close the
exchange on Saturday. thus providing for
=. three days holiday, the greater num-
Der Of trading spectators were inclined
before the stock market opened to-day
to look for a continuation Of the dull
ness and heaviness that was in such com
plete control Of affairs on the day before
Their expectations were not disappointed
as regarded the dullness Of the market
for the volume OF dealings in stocks was
less by nearly 10000 shares than on
Wednesday. Calculations went awry,
however. as regarded the character Of the
changes IN prices.
ReEafnS Losses
The market was depressed for a short
time. but from then on It was strong
throughout the day, and rather more
than regained yesterdays losses The
striking feature OF business continued 10
be the accumulation OF United States
Steel shares. which to-day extended 10
the stocks Of the Republic Iron and Steel,
Sloss-Shemeld, and ether minor steel pro
ducing companies.
Further reports. than which none could
De imagined more favorable regarding
The present state OF the steel and iron
business, again formed the basis Of the
advance in these stocks.
It IS stated on trustworthy authority
that the business OF the United States
Steel Corporation IN the current month
Is the largest months business reported
IN many years. the order received being
at q rate approximating 10000 tolls
Of steel a year. or nearly double last
years entire production OF finished steel
b the corporation: and It is known that
sales CT steel are being made in not few
instances al prices 81 a ton or more
higher than ruling quotations Advices
from the copper market are OF Ike
nature, sales Of copper constantly taking
place IN large volume with an advancing
tendency in prices; and this latter fact
was therefore properly responsible 10
day for a particular advance IN AnalSa-
mated Copper stock.
Traction shares Strong.
All ne traction shares were strong
supposedly on account CT reasons grow
ing out OF the signature by the governor
last night Of the Travis-Robinson bill
which makes possible the construction
OF additional subWays IN the city
The Wabash stocks make large ad-
vances. giving rise to recurrence Of
the old story concerning a transfer OF the
Wabash property 10 the hands OF the
Delaware, Lackawauna and Western
Company, and whether this story is OF

All the wabash Issues recently can
only be taken as an indication that de-
veiopments Of importance to the com
pany are impending.

ANSWER TO YESTERDAYS PUZZLE.

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1909-07-06

Of the day than himself because of the
wonderful work he had done i'll behalf
of the club, ~ mean Fisher Harris, -
he said "the man who has been so un-
assuming, so quiet and modest, SO tact
full and withal so strong, in carrying
on the steps which it was necessary
should be accomplished before the club
could achieve its true standing in the
community, and who. even after the loss
Of his voice. has been so answering
to his duty in carrying out the work
of the organization.
Several times during the address the
Judge was interrupted by the passing
of Il street procession of circus, and
he aroused considerable amusement by
calling attention to the fact that the
crowd WAS larger when he finished his
address than when he began. "This is
an indication of the results of persist.
ence," he said, land illustrates the
manner in which this organization has
continued to carry on its work in The
face Of all obstacles, The Judge spoke
AS follows:
Fellow CitiZens-I shall not speak 10 you
as member nf the Commercial club or
as one having IL personal or financial In
tercst in the magnificent building that is
TO be erected upon the corner stone soon

preciates the great work Of this organI-

as we celebrate the birth of the nation
we also celebrate the dawn Of a day long
in coming, but whose morning shafts are
gliding the mountain tops.
Club Powerful Factor,
In the advancement of this people the
Commercial club has been most power
ful factor, Broad in Its purpose. catho-
lie in spirit, thoroughly democratic and
thoroughly sympathiZing with the strug-
giles OF the weakest of her citizens, II has
grown until its influence permeates far
beyond state lines. Strong and y!rile, It's
aims have been so practical and its mem
itself favorably known throughout all the
land, and 1t is recognized as the strongest
and most potent commercial organization
In the Union. When this building shall
be completed IL Will be the only one OF
the kind in America devoted entirely to
the purposes Of a club society of this
nature The Commercial club has done
supported bv our citizens and its feet are
planted upon a sound and unyieldinG
financial basis.
The proud position that II now occupies
shows what can be accomplished by unset
fish and united effort Selfishness has
not been n moving force in Its manage
ment. IT has worked for the whole state.
1t has benefited the whole state. The
farmer who takes his hoe and coaNes the
precious water upon arid acres has gained
through its existence. Tho laborer who
tolls In the midday heat never made an
appeal to this organization In vain. The
children who are striving for an cduca-
friend. Our sister cities In their public
efforts have received from It encourage

the vast wealth producing possibilities of
the mills and mines. and of the ranches
and the ranges OF the state.
Here will be found examples Of the
achievements OF our artists and sculptors
and here will be heard, upon occasion, the
voices OF our native singers and the sweet
melodies OF those who play upon stringed
Instruments.
Within these walls the cries Of the mar
ket place will be hushed. and the con-
tention of opposing political parties win
not he heard; for the atmosphere OF the
place will he surchargcd with but ono
sentiment and that will be, what good
thing can we do for our state and how
can We best advance the common well
fare;
take it that these are the purposes for
which this Commercial CLUB was created.
and if I may judge its future by what
II has done in the past. feel safe in be-
lieving that ii will not fail 10 maintain
the high standard of It's public work.
AS mayor of this city ! most earnestly
congratulate you, gentlemen Of the Com
mercial club, upon this proPitious fruiton
of your hopes.

and state. who are alike interested in
your work and | wish you long life OF

couragement has been generous and gen.

the future, the maintenance of the new
home and the extension Of the clubs field

IL feels that IL deserves much larger

burden OF the work of an organization

OF all.

Happily for Salt Lake. the deep seated
love OF her people for her has arisen TO
dominate and direct her future Under
the gentle influence OF that love, hands
are claspfnS and hearts are beating In

When this structure shall be- compet-

followers of every calling and creed and
neither politics nor religion will enter to
hinder and delay the great purpose Of the
Commercial club to achieve for Salt Lake
the wonderful destiny which Is guaran-
tecd to her by a tributary domain OF
vast area and wealth
