JUST ONE WAY TO
LOWER THE RENTS
Real Estate Expert Says That
More Buildings Are Re-
CURED at Once.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND RULE
LANDLORDS LIKE OTHER MEN
CHARGE ALL THEY CAN GET.

The question Of whether OF not rents
for choice locations in the city are too
high. and whether they could not be
reduced with a considerable betterment
to conditions here, has been agitated
strongly during the past few months,
and has given rise in several instances
to rumors that there must be a reduc-
ton if Salt Lake is 10 retain the position
she occupies at the present time as the
most attractive city in the west to
homeseekers.
Commenting on the situation here
with regard to rentals at the present
time member of one of the largest
realty concerns in the city, and one
which does many thousands of dollars
worth Of rental business in the course
of the year, has the following to say:
AS matter of fact, Salt Lake, at the
present time, is in an abnOrmally
healthy state. Under ordinary cOndi-
tons there should be right now in this
city between $50 and 500 vacant houses.
This number is necessary to provide
for the normal and healthy increase in
population.
"As a matter of fact, the number Of
vacant houses in the city is very small
and new houses are almost an unknown
quantity for rental purposes. There
has been a move within the past year or
two from the old shaclzs to newer houses
and most Of the rented houses are old.
Most people build houses to sell, and
the new houses are not available for

SUGAR HOUSE TAKES
ON BUSINESS ASPECT
Many Commercial and Industrial En-
terprises Are Springing
Up Rapidly.

1t is expected that within thirty days
work will commence on Twenty-first
East street for grading and operating
electric cars from Ninth South to the
D. & r. G.. tracks near Thirteenth South
street, and south to Holiday.
This means great deal for this sec
ton, as many subdivisions are now be-
ing plated and put on the market. 1t
means the building up Of that part of
the city, most of which has recently
been annexed. Many fine homes are
now being built and ample school ia
cilities are to be had. 1t is understood
that the Sugar House car viii be ex-
tended east on Twelfth South street TO
TWenty-first East street to take care
of the passengers coming into the city
from the south. With the extension OF
water mains in different parts of this
section, it is certain that this part of
the city will build up very rapidly.
Sugar House near Twelfth South
street and Eleventh East street is be-
coming quite a business section, with
several stores, all of which are doing
a good business. Two coal yards are
located at this point. also the Sugar
House Banking company and the Gran
tie lumber yards.
Ninth East street will be paved to
Twelfth South street and east to Six
teenth East street. P. ]. Moran has
contracted for culverting Parley's can
yon creek, after which the old store
building will be removed and Twelfth
South street will be one of the finest
drives in the city.

ON FEDERAL HEIGHTS
Many Purchase Lots Before Proposed
Advance in Price is
Made.

The announcement made last week of
the intended increase in prices for build
ing sites in Federal Heights addition
has apparently stimulated the interest
of possible purchasers, and the past
week has shown an unusually large
number of inquiries for information re-
garding locations in the beautiful park.
The cold weather at the end of the week
acted as a damper on the spirits Of
many purchasers, and there is a ten
dency, apparently, to hold off for a few
days until matters warm up.
In the meantime progress on the new
structures now under way has been go
ing forward rapidly. The home of G. B.
Lockhart on Perry avenue is being fin
ished inside, and the grounds about the
place are being put into first-class con-
ditiOn. The place will be ready for oc-
cupancy within the next three months.
The new home being erected for Hor-
ace Dunbar on Olcott avenue, near the
southeast corner of the park, has now
been completed up to the second floor.
Mr.. Dunbar las planned to include
many unusually attractive features In
the construction of his home, and will
spend about $500 on the structure. 1t
is also known that number of other
new homes are benz considered for the
heights, and that work on the structures
will be started on ne completion of
final plans.

TOOELE RESOURCES
TOLD IN BOOKLET
Handsome Publication Filled
With Fine Photographs
Shows Growth of City.

"ToOele and It's Industries" is the
title of a neat booklet prepared by the
Tooele Chamber of Commerce and just
off the press. 1t is a handsome as well
as a complete and important addition
to the boost" literature Of Titan.
1t contains thirty-two double pages,
seven and one-half by eight and one
half inches in size, and is illustrated
by twenty half-tOnes of scenes around
TOoele City, showing the Importance
and more particularly the recent growth
of the rapidly progressing city nestled
at the western base of the Oquirrh
mountains.
In addition there is a map showing
Tooele and it's surroundings, which Il
lustrates in a graphic manner the con-
venience Of the new International smell
ter site to the extensive copper mines
of Bingham canyon. Incidentally that
smelter comes in for its share Of the
Illustrations, though these are by no
means confined TO that subject.
A row Of brick bungalows is shown in
one cut, with new trees set out in front,
that would do credit to almost any of
the newer streets in Salt Lake
Stores, hotels and other business houses,
the Tooele Valley railway station, the
Tooele general hospital, the recently
completed Catholic church in course Of
construction. and other prominent fea-
lures important to the business and So
cial life of the community are shown
and they would be a credit to any com
munity.
The reading matter is brief, to the
point. 1t gives something of the history
Of ToOele and something of it's pros
poets.
Booklet Tells Resources.
It describes the new smelter plant
simply and tersely. 1t tells of the rich
clay beds about to be developed at
Grantsville, seven and one-half miles
from Tooele, and it quotes at some
length from recent numbers of Salt
Lake newspapers, including the Tele-
gram and Tribune, showing the rapid
growth of TOOele City and the impor-
tant place it will take in the industrial
future of Utah. The closing paragraphs
are as follows:
With the influx of engineers, fore
men, mechanics and labOrers engaged
in constructing the vast smelter plant,
together with their families, Tooele has
taken on a growth in keeping with this
great enterprise, and today it is one of
the busiest cities to be found in the

MERCHANTS EXPAND
WITH BANK LOANS
Prosperity Causes Big Demand
for Money by ReSp0n-
SibIe Borrowers.
NEED BUILDING MATERIAL
MANY SMALL HOMES ARE BEING
PUT UP FOR OWNERS.

The feature Of the week in business
circles appears to be the demand for
money from all sorts of people for the
purpose OF carrying out improvements
Of all kinds in the city and in the coun-
try districts of Utah and Idaho. It is
stated that this demand comes not es-
pecially from the larger enterprises, but
from the farmers and smaller business
men, who wish a few thousand dollars
for spreading out in their business or
for opening small orchards and farm
ing tracts. Although there is a tenden-
cy for rates TO rise, there has been no
real increase and loan rates are char
acteTized as strong and stable.
In hardware lines, most of the goods
sold are of the spring variety. Supplies
for camps AMI light mining operations
lave been active as the winter season
breaks up in the canyons. The strike
appears 10 have affected the leather and
harness trade somewhat, but as the at
fair had been anticipated and prepara-
tons We're made accordingly, the loss OF
labor has not been felt materially as
Yet.
Building Materials.
AS might be expected, building ma
terials of all kinds are in big demand.
Lumber dealers report conditions about
the same, with floods no longer giving
trouble in the northwest, and the rail
roads finding il easier to handle the
shipments. The tendency of builders
TO use more and more cement work in
their houses has strengthened this line
of business, and it is reported that the
mills are putting out all that they can
with full capacity.
1t has been a quiet week in wholesale
dry goods, is the report, with only the
staples going out. Spring dress goods,
sheer Sabrics and, In fact, all sorts of
summer wearing apparel has been
called for by shoppers and dealers gen
orally. The cold weather of the last
few days put something of a camper on
the retail clothing trade, but this will
be only momentary, ii is said, and there
VIII be rush as soon as the warm
spring season really sets in. The cold
weather around Easter worked havoc
with the millinery business, but dealers
are now catching up, as the new hats
for ladies must come some time, and
many wait until after the festive season
in the hope of a reduction in prices.
Collections have been rather slow on
account of the inability Of farmers to
get their unsOld produce TO markets,
but these will pick up as the roads i'm
prove in the country districts and
money commences to come in from the
disposal Of farm produce.
The semi-annual dividend OF per
cent on the capital stock of the Z. c.
NJ. l. was paid Friday, and amounted to
over 5000, 00O The Consolidated Wagon
q Machine company paid its quarterly
dividend of Pa per cent during the
week. At the office of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company. the retirement Of the
common stock is going forward, and
most Of the certificates are now said to
be exchanged.

INTEREST IN MoNHElM PARK.

Monheim, Morris & Dowse, owners of
Monheim Park addition on the extreme
east beach, report excellent activity in
the locality. The granting of a fran
chise TO lie Grand Young for his inter-
urban railroad, which will pass close
to the addition, has stimulated interest
in the tract. The county commission
ers during the past week visited the
tract for the purpose Of making plans
for widening the streets and laying out
other attractive features in the locality.

CLOSE 75 SALES
IN PARK CRESCENT
Result of the Recent Big Ex-
CurSion Seen in Pur-
GhaSeS lust Made.

The aftermath Of the big excursion, to
Park Crescent occurred yesterday, when
seventy-hve sales were closed for prop
erty in the new addition. Among those
making purchases for investment pur-
poses were Mrs. st. Leger and Mrs.
Brown Of Tucker, Utah, who secured
two lots each; VIII Willes OF the 'Vi1les-
Horne Drug company, and Mrs. AndeT-
son and MIR. Watson, who also took two
lots apiece. a Salt Lake business con
Germ purchased a complete block for
investment purposes.
Work on the addition is now pro-
crossing rapidly, and TIE streets are be-
ing graded throughout the tract. Ninth
south has been opened up from Fore
Douglas avenue on the west, TO Roy
avenue on the East It is the intention
TO complete the grading Of streets and
lay sidewalks just as soon as the work
can be done, but as the addition has
been on the market only a few weeks.
there has been no opportunity TO CON-
plete any Of the proposed work.
City water for the tract is near az
hand from the Emigration canyon SUD
ply, which crosses the northeast corner
of the tract This water is OF the best.
and can be put on the tract easily and.
without any great expense. Work On
all the improvements Is being rushed,
and the owners declare that within the
next sixty days the grading and other
work Will be completed.
as an indication Of the attention that
is being given to suburban additions at
the present time by investors, It is
poiated out that many visitors to Park
Crescent yesterday expressed surprise
that the prices were 50 low. and it is
the announced intention Of the owners
to increase the prices by the first OF
May. The tract is the highest of any
addition near the city, and overlOoks
even the high land OF the Fort Doug
las military reservation.
1t is fully a mile east Of the noun
tains, however, and only fifteen min
utes from the city by way Of the Emil
grafton canyon car line. The fact that
people seem to rush to purchase build
ing lots on the high ground Of the bench
is regarded as = sure indication OF the
ultimate location Of the best homes Of
the city on the east bench under the
shadow Of the mountains.
