James Boyle late this afternoon gave
out statement Incorporating let
ter received by him previous to the
kidnapping. from Harry Forker. of
Youngstown, o.. in which the latter
suggested kidnapping the son Of the
millionaire.
In the statement Boyle says he first
met Forker bending over the body OF
Dan Feeble, who was myst eriously
Kidnapped IN Youngstown some time
since Boyle got certain letters of
PEBBLES body, which if they had been
divulsed would have incriminated
Forker as the kidnapper- murderer Of
the dead boy.
Boyle, continuing, says Forker had
been paying linn money 10 keep the
letters suppressed, but when he de-
manded $4,000 from Forker several
months ago the latter said he did not
have it and proposed kidnapping the
WhItla boy to get the money.
Boyle says the above statement
which he issued through his lawyer
would startle the country. He said
he realized lie and his wife have
made a'mstake in not making the
matter public soon after their arrests
He sad Both Helen and / had Been
blufIed into the delusion that by keep

PERMITS COMING SLOW
First Days of December Find Slump
in Building Activities in
Salt Lake.

Though Salt Lake realty has been ex-
periencing somewhat of a boom lately,
there is no reflection of this condition in
the building line, for the two weeks
thus far in December have been among
the slOwest Of the year. For the week
just closed the building permits issued
by Building Inspector A. B. Hirth
amounted to only eleven, representing
expenditures of SIS, 500. For the two
weeks Of the month there have been
thirty-ive permits, representing $685.
200. or an average of about $4,000 for
each structure.
It now seems certain that December
will be the poorest month of the year,
and some scratching will have to be
done to reach the mark of SS,00O,0OO for
the year. The aggregate amount repre-
scented in permits at the end Of NoYem-
Der was $7,806,520. With the two weeks
Of December, the total for the year Is
now $7,914,720, OF $S5,2S0 short OF the
coveted eight-million mark.
There were no permits issued yester-
day. and unless a few fairly large ones
come in before the close of the month,
Salt Lake will have to wait another
year before the mark Of $4,000, 900 is
reached. The total of the building per-
mits for 1908 was Safes $50, and for last
December amounted to S471, 900. Deem
Der of this year will need only Sl93, $50
to make up the SS0O0,000 which is now
the main tight of Building Inspector
Hirth.

TWO DEALS MADE
IN STATE Street
Prediction of Stimulus in Values
Is Carried Out During
the Week.

Two big deals in State street realty
were reported during the week, and
while they We're consummated upon a
speculative basis, the figures show the
trend Of sentiment and justify the pre-
diction made in these columns a week
ago and two weeks ago that there would
be a stimulus along that thoroughfare.
The Halloran-Judge agency closed a
deal that was hanging over from last
week by which four local men, whose
names are withheld, bought the north
west corner of State and Eighth South
streets from Henry Harris OF New York
for S1O5 per front foot, or a total of $24,-
255. This property has a frontage on
State street of 231 feet, and runs us feet
west along Eighth South. There is no
improvement on the property, except
one or two old frame houses.
Farther up the street, between Sixth
and Seventh South, and on the east side
of State, the Utah Investment company
disposed Of its holdings to J. G. Penny
for $4,000. The deal, which was made
through the Richter agency, is cOusid-
cred one Of the largest, so far as 'front.'
age values are concerned, that has been
added to the changes Of ownership I'm
the new business district. The property
sold at $40 a front foot. Mr.. Penny
bought this place merely for specula-
ton. 1t has d frontage on State street
Of S21a feet and is 165 feet deep.

INVESTMENT FIELD
BEING OVERLOOKED
Good Profits in Manufacturing
and Chance for Local Men
to Invest.

One who is vitality interested in the
manufactured products of Utah calls
attention to the fact that while people
are investing fortunes in real estate aul
other securities in Salt Lake and Utah,
there is a field for investment that has
been practically OveriJOkC
Il am referring to several manufac-
turing concerns that are running along
mOdtstly, doing a mediocre business
said lie. There are scores OF concerns
in this state that could treble rdelr out
put and increase their profits If they
had a little more operating capital l
don't need to mention any concerns, but
1 do know there are many taking COM
modities and food products that are IN
demand all the time, and they are Utah
made goods of the finest order and
cheaper than the same class that comes
from other cities.
Investment in some of these con-
Germs is as safe and as certain Of re-
turns as in a majority Of the real es-
tate propositions. II is as sure as irTi-
CATION bonds, and that means d lot.
believe that there is enough money IN
salt Lake City to finance every manu-
featuring proposition here that pre-
serts a legitimate front. I think that
many men with money could be inter-
asted if their eyes were opened to the
possibilities. The manufacturing bust
ness in Utah is yet an infant industry,
although it is growing steadily and
healthily each year. Yet in the next
few years more concerns viii be located
here, and outside capital viii be making
the money.
1T is no argument I'm favor Of a
clcseG-doOr policy to suggest tha- more
money be placed back of the manufac-
tureTs who are already in the field but
such action would operate TO the credit
of local capital and local men. and the
inter, st and dividends and profits would
remain in Salt Lake, where they be-
long"

SIZE IS NOT DECIDED
Bids for Lillard Building Have Not
Yet Been Decided Upon by
J. J. Daily.

Just what the proportions of the new
Lillard building, to be erected by J. j..
Daily on the northeast corner of Fourth
South and Main streets viii be, is yet
undecided, for the reason that bids have
not yet been accepted. Mr.. DAILY has
asked for bids on a three-story build
ing and on a five-stOry building. He
favOrs the taller structure, but does not
yet know whether it viii be built. 1t
depends entirely upon the bids which
are expected to arrive shortly. Archi-
tects plans for a building of both sizes
have been presented to Mr.. DAILY, but it
will be at least a week before he makes
up his mind.
The building viii have a length Of 260
feet on Fourth South street, extending
almost to Cactus street, and will run ad-
jacent to the Newhouse building. 1t
will be one Of the most modern office
buildings in the city, no matter what its
height.

DESERT WILL BLOSSOM
Thompson's Plains Will Soon Be
Transformed Into Gardens
and Farms.

Thompson's plains, and the long
stretch Of desert through which the
Denver & Rio Grande passes between
Green River and the Utah-COlOradO
line will be transformed from an arid
tract into farms of growing crops before
many years. over near Cisco the first
move of any importance in this trans
formation has been made by the Grand
Valley Fruit & Water company, which
derives its water from Cottonwood,
Westwater and Bitter creeks.
The company, of which William F.
Marrs is president; George o. Marrs,
vice president, and w. NJ. Marrs, sec
retary-it is known as the Mars pro-
iect-have nearly $4,000 acres, 1900 of
which have been selected from the state
at $3.50 an acre. The rest of the land
is hinged upon a decision from the de-
partment of the interior. The company
is surveying for reservoirs, the water
rights having been approved, and be
fore long a great area of land will be
thrown open for settlement at the east
ern border Of the state.
