The building activity in the city con.
! tlnues unabated, and promises to make
another record this season on top of
the three records Of building opera
tions for Salt Lake in the three pre.
cedIng years. The steel work on the

seem in rivalry for speed of construc.

dispatch. The Newhouse hotel. mt the

been delayed somewhat by the non re-

work, but the loss Of time In regard to
this win be recovered by extra energy

At the Utah hotel building, on the
old tithing house corner, Main and
South Temple streets, work is being
pushed without delay and with all the
force that can be used. The Kearns
ten.story block on the west side OF
Main street, between First and Second
South streets, is moving up with
speed that shows progress every dav.
Other fine business blocks arc also un.
der construction, and some Just com.
pleted. The bulk of the building how
ever, after all is said and done, is on 1
dwelling places, and these range from
the huge fiat and apartment house, of
which many are just completed and now
under construction. to the separate home
of every conceivable character, the bun
galow type of construction being a
strong favorite.
The real estate market is also in ex.

sional deals that are very conspicuous.
Property is firmly held and eagerly
sought, thus making an ideal real estate

SPECIAL NOTICE.
Destruction Wrought by forest Fires

Notwithstanding all the warnings sent
out by the forestry department and the
lumbermen's associations, and the warn
ings given by the newspapers ior the
past two months, the forest fires have
taken a frightful toll Of human life and
property in the past ten days, and the
end is not yet. Unless rain comes
and comes soon many more lives will
be lost and much property destroyed.
The deplorable thing about this loss Is
that in nine cases out Of ten it is the
result Of carelessness, and might have
been prevented by prudence and lore
thought An investigation in this i'm
mediate vicinity last year resulted IN
the aforementioned conclusion. Most
Of the forest fires result from fires start
ed by campers who neglected to put
out their camp fires; some from care
less smokers passing thru forest ana
throwing lighted matches where they
came in contact with the dry finder
like material that abounds in a pine
forest. A few start from brush fires
where land is being cleared.
1t would seem that past experience
would teach men to be more careful
with fire during the dry summer sea-
son, but alas, it appears not to have
been Of any benefit. The destructive
forest fires reported this week reach
from British Columbia to California, and
from Montana to Washington, every
where accompanied by loss Of life-in
some instances with loss of the wives
and children of settlers.

Roosevelt Wants Progressive Platform

The most significant utterance yet
made by Col. Roosevelt as indicating
his stand on the progressive movement
was made to Judge Kincaid, Of Ohio,
last Tuesday when that gentleman
called on the expresident at Oyster
Bay I have never recommended
any man for Office and do not intend
to do SO this year, and added l hope
progressive platforms will be adopted
by the various republican state conven-
tons this fall. I" Could anything more
clearly indicate his position on the
progressive movement inside the re-
publican party. 1t is perfectly proper
now for John L. Wilson and the other
Washington standstillers to declare that
the doughty Colonel is no longer a
republican.
Not one word, SO far from Oyster
Bay cofnmendatory Of the president,
Joe Cannon, Aldrich, Guggenheim,
Morgan, the tariff perfdy, ct al Any
comfort in this eloquent silence for
the standstiller republicans? The only
thing left is to read Mr.. Roosevelt out
Of the party.

A report coming from Wenatchee to
the effect that the Great Northern rail-
way had stopped work on the snowshed
improvement between this point and
Skykomish is entirely without founda-
ton, as is also the report from the
same quarter that train crews had been
laid off. Diligent inquiry reveals the
facts to be that additional trainmen
have been employed in the past ten
days. The contractors who have in
hand the building Of the snowsheds
say they have received no instructions
to cease work, but on the contrary are
hiring men every day. Agent Wood
row said to a reporter Of this paper that
the freight movement is normal and
the passenger traffic unusually heavy
for this time Of year, while the traffic
department reports that low rates will
go into effect the latter part Of August
and last thru September, when the
largest homeseeker travel Of the year is
expected. Calamity howlers should go
way back and sit down where they can
neither be seen nor heard.

Under the proper heading, among
the announcements for office, you
will find the name Of Carl Christensen.
Of Wenatchee. who this week announ-
ces that he will make the race for
county auditor on the republican
ticket, subject TO the will Of the
voters at the primary election. Mr..
Christensen is not unknown TO the
voters Of Leayenworth. where he made
his home for many years and is well
and fayorably known by all old timers,
having removed TO Wenatchee some
six years ago, when elected county
clerk, the duties Of which Office he
discharged so satisfactorily that he had
practically no opposition when he
asked for a second term. He was
defeated two years ago for auditor by
the present incumbent, who is a
democrat, by slender majority. OF
his qualifications for the Office to
which he aspires there is no doubt.
His long residence in the county and
his wide acquaintance among the
voters, together with the record he
left as clerk, makes him a strong can
didate.

The following story is printed IN
the Wenatchee World Of Wednesday;
Surveyor stakes mark the path OF a
prospective railroad, the route OF
which has been traced by party OF
surveyors from point little distance
from Glacier clear through Hannegan
Pass and into the Methow valley,
which opens out upon the rich Wen
atchee country east Of the Cascades.
Who has done the work, and whether
the survey is for road actually plan
ned or is merely a sort Of scout Tor a
practicable route across the noun
tains. is matter OF speculation
merely.
The surveyors would give out no
information as to what road they were
working for or whether the survey was,
in fact, railroad route or not. By
engineers who have followed the
staked line, however, it is said that
the route as laid out furnishes a
feasible grade.
Taken in connection with the
report that the Great Northern will
build short cut through the Cascades
to connect the Canadian cutoff line
with the coast line, the survey Of
this line is spelled Hill by Glacier
people, but there is no real basis for
/ this belief.

STANDS ON HIS RECORD
Poindexter Will Open the King County
Senatorial Campaign Satur-

Congressman Miles Poindexter will
open his campaign in Seattle tomorrow
night. The Grand Opera house is
engaged for the occasion and plans are
being perfected for a rousing public
demonstration in his behalf.
Beginning next Monday he will
make tour Of King county, speaking
at Auburn, Renton, Ballard, Redmont
and other places. Some night next
week he will hold a meeting at
Bremerton,
In an interview today Congressman
Poindexter said: If the hired

senatorial candidates are getting any
consolation out Of their efforts TO
read me out Of the republican party
they are welcome to il.

barty regularity that the record Of
John L. Wilson or Thomas Burke will
stand, unless il be the test Of support
ing Speaker Cannon and the old
house ohgarchy which was throttling
independent action in congress and
pigeon-holeing all progressive legis-
lation demanded by the people.
II opposition to Common is a viola
ton Of party regularity then I confess
to being irregular; if support Of the
Aldrich olgarchy in the senate is party
regularity, then l confess to a conf
dence that Wilson will be regular in
case he is sent to the senate.

Il should have required the establish
ment Of postal banks in all postoffices
instead Of leaving their establishment
to executive discretion It should
have required the poStofice authorities
to keep the deposits in local banks
instead Of permitting their deposit
with the big central banks. If the law
had been subject to amendment on
the floor these amendments would
probably have been adopted. The

appear upon it. But at the top is
printed an amendment which reads as
follows: For the proposed amend

ALLEGE BOY CONFESSED.
Spartanburg Police Charge Marion
Wilcox With Jewelry Robbery.

Spartanburg, November 2.-Marion
Wilcox, a 17-year-old boy of this city,
is in Jail and is said to have made
complete confession to robbing the
jewelry store of Arthur w. Biber, on
last Saturday night.
Wilcox was suspected at first by
the officers, who have been on the
lookout for him ever since. He has
kept himself in hiding and only to-
night did the officers catch him.
Capt. Moss Haynes, Of the local po-
lice department, and private Deason
were waiting for the boy at the
Southern station tonight, having
learned that he was scheduled to pass
by on foot. The plans were right,
and Wilcox was hailed on the tracks
by the officers. He denied his guilt
but a search revealed that he had
over $400 worth of jewelry on his
person when arrested. It consisted OF
bracelets, lockets, watch chains,
charms, etc., many of them with
diamond settings. When taken to
police headquarters the officers say
he made complete confession, and
did not implicate any one else, saying
that he did the deed single handed.
The reward of 5000, which had
been offered for the arrest of the
guilty parties, will be paid over to
the officers in a day or two, The
police department did admirable
work on this case, and even went so
far as to send man to Columbia,
where Wilcox was supposed to be.

GLAD SHE WASN'T STOUT.
Fortunate That Customs Men Looked
at Plump Daughter.

Reports of customs official are
constantly emphasizing the fact that
they have to watch women much
more closely than men to prevent
smuggling. For some reason many
women are not convinced of the right
of the government to charge duty
and smuggling does not seem to them
to be wrong Henry A. Guilder, OF
New Orleans, made this statement at
the Shoreham. But" he continued
Il doubt whether many women try
to get by more than once. One good
scare should be enough to prevent a
repetition of the attempt.
Il know of one woman who sue
cessfully managed one smuggling ex'
pedition, but I'm sure she wouldn
try it again if she lives to be a hun
dred years old. She is the wife of a
friend of mine, and she is devout
churchwoman. But she was tempted
on this one occasion and fell. She
bought a beautiful tablecloth in
Mexico. 1t was a remarkable piece of
drawn work and cost her 5000. To
escape paying a heavy duty she impro-
vised a petticoat of the tablecloth. AS
a part of her costume, it would escape
detection, she was sure. She was ac-
companied by her 20-year-old daugh-
ter, a young woman of much ampler
physique than her mother.
when they reached Ell Paso they
were detained, as usual, by the Gus
toms inspectors. Peculiarly enogh it
was her daughter who aroused the
suspicious of the officials. To be
plain, she was plump, and they were
not sure that she wasn't swathed in
some dutiable fabric. The woman in
spector examined her clothing thor
oughly, but found no evidence OF
smuggling. All this time the mother
was almost paralyzed with fright.
Luckily for her, the inspectors let her
go, and she got the tablecloth through
duty free. But she vowed then that
the offense would be her last and the
next time she would gladly pay all the
duty that might be assessed. -

NEGRO STABBED no DEATH.
Stepping on Toes Appears to Have
Led to Homicide.

Harleyville, Nov. 3.-George Wash
ington, negro residing about two
miles from here, was stabbed to death
by Sing Williams, also colored, last
Saturday night at negro camp meet
ing.
1t seems that crowd was standing
around large fire when Williams
stepped on Washington's foot, where
upon Washington asked Williams not
to do so again. Williams told Wash
ington if he did not like it to step off
in the dark, which Washington did,
when Williams, without further
words, stabbed him in the left breast
wounding the lung. He died Wednes-
day morning.
P. L. Kizer, coroner, was notified,
and the inquest was held late
Wednesday evening. At last reports
Williams was not caught, but it is
thought that he is somewhere near
and will be captured.
Both negroes are young men, Will
liams being 1S years old, and Wash
ington 20 years old.
