CITY SETS EXAMPLE
FOR WHOLE OF STATE

T7HAT other portions of the state are
keeping pace with the wonderful
growth Of Salt Lake is the opinion
of a well known local real estate dealer,
who has not confined his investiga tirls
nor his investments to this city alone.
The business of this dealer often takes
him to what are known as the country
towns, and his opinion, based On con-
siderable observation, is that they Will
keep on with the same rroportionate
increase of growth In population and in
prosperity.
I'm the remote districts, stock ranches
are giving way to FARMS" said he,
while nearer to the city small fruit
farms are superseding the large held
ings until recently held for the growing
of all kinds of grain.

LIGHT AND AIR IN
THE CITY STREETS
Salt Lake Famous for Its
HeaIthfuI Aspect and a
Comparison.

The unusually wide streets Of Salt
Lake have been the source of much IA
vorable comment by tourists who have
paid this city visit For all time to
come they assure people living in all
sections plenty of light and air." said a
well known dealer in real estate yester-
day. That the light problem is a serious
one in the metropolis of the nation is
shown by the following article from
the New York World:
Thousands of New York's citizens
live in the twilight
The latest report of the committee on
congestion of population shows that
many of the windows OF the city are in
reality not windows at all so far as let
ting in the sunlight is concerned. Not
even the strongest ray forces it's way as
Sickly glow through their dust-cOV-
cred, cobwebbed panes.
The twilight jewellers herd together in
two OF three small rooms Says the
committees statement:
"Hygienists generally agree that there
should be at least 500 cubic feet COT
space for every adult and 400 cubic feet
for each minor, which would permit,
under normal conditions, in our tene-
ment house apartments or one large and
two small rooms. two adults and two
children under IL"
What did the committee find in its
tour of the boroughs? Here is one
thing it found:
1.-The block in lower Manhattan
bounded by Catharine, Monroe, Market
and Hamilton streets was found TO con-
tain cellar dwelling of a tenement
having twenty families. The basement
apartment in front consisted of three
rooms, one reasonably large room and
two small ones. One could not see to
read comfortably by natural light for
more than few hours during the day
in the large room, the other two hardly
receiving any light from the small WIN
dows opening to the foot of a shaft.
These rooms We're occupied by a man
and his wife, four boarders (men) and
one boy, as they admitted, and then
stated later that there were two addi-
tional boarders, making nine occupants
in ALL"
There were I'm Manhattan 1871 such
cellar tenements on February 13, 1909; in
the Bronx 2,SsS. in Brooklyn iii. in
Queens 400 and in Richmond 81, making
q total of 25,3S7.
At that time there were in Manhat-
tan 11S,211 living rooms without ade-
quate light or ventilation, besides those
entirely lacking windows; in the
Bronx 3.S29, In Brooklyn 1884. in
Queens $500 and in Richmond 329, MAX
ing a total of 263, 100.
"Of absolutely windowless rooms
there were in Manhattan 26,S25 and in
Brooklyn 59,377. The. total in all the
boroughs was 101, III.
''The committee found three small
rooms in Elizabeth street. two Of the
rooms having merely a window opening
on the air shaft, where ten persons
lived. In this human pen six Of the
ten were children.

out by the thousands, and furnishing
villages have sprung up where a few
years ago was comparatively a wilder
ness.
THE development Of the vast region
tributary to salt Lake serves to ex-
pand every business IN the city, as the
products of the farm ami the orchard
find either a market or a distributing
point here, and the supplies for the
country towns are generally obtained
through the merchants and jobbers of
the city.
"In taking into consideration tile
cause of the growth OF thu city at sUCh
a phenomenal rate, the increase in the
number of producers throughout the
state must not be overlooked. With
more people coming yearly into the
state and engaging in farming, fruit
raising or market gardening. this city
is bound to become of still greater i'm
portanee as a jobbing and distributing

CORPORATION WILL
EXPLOIT PROPERTY
Option Secured on East Bench
Tract for Residence
Plating.
LOCATION AN IDEAL ONE
TWO COMPANIES PLAN TO MAKE
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.

Within a few days another big real
estate company will be organized with
a capital stock Of 100000 for the pur-
pose OF exploiting a large tract of land
On the east bench, which has been ac-
quired by option by the Anderson-Cum-
mings company and the Hubbard In
vestment company.
The tract comprises eighty-seven
acres. and is situated Immediately
south OF the Fort Douglas military res
ervation. and adjoins the big tract re-
Gently purchased By the Hubbard In
vestment company.
The former owner OF the property
was the Douglas Heights Land & I'm
provement company. No plating will
be necessary, as that was done twenty
years ago during the boom of 1890, and
the lots will be offered to the investing
public probably during the coming
week. In the tract are 747 lots, which
are said by the promoters of the new
company to be as choice as any on the
market.
Property Long Held.
During the past twenty years the
owner of the propert, has been APP
preached many times by prospective
buyers, but decided to withhold from
selling until it was thought the time
was ripe. The alluring price offered by
the Anderson Cummings company and
the Hubbard Investment company
finally resulted in the owner giving an
option on the property.
1t is claimed that because of natural
location the property will appeal to
people who desire to erect homes away
from the smoke of the city. The tract
is within the city limits, and within
three miles of the postoffice.
Street Car Facilities.
One of the most attractive features
of any subdivision property is that of
easy transportation to the heart of the
city, and this is furnished to the tract
by the Emigration Canyon car line,
which runs north along the entire
length of the tract. Judge LIE Grand
Young has given assurances to the pro-
motors of the new subdivision that he
viii furnish a thirty-minute service all
summer. Mr. Young also intends, if
a franchise can be obtained, to build
another line which will extend along
another part of the property.
Within a short tins the work of i'm
proving this large tract will be started.
The few inequalities in the surface
will be leveled, sidewalks will be laid
and streets opened up and graded.
Thousands of dollars will be spent in
this work.
One of the claims advanced for this
property as a desirable residence prop
erty is that it is high and dry and
commands a magnificent view of the
city and the valley.

In addition to these a large number of

Plans have been completed for the
establishment of a plumbing business,
an electric supply company, a large
furniture store and other enterprises.

Consul Joseph A. Howells writes
as follows concerning the fisheries
of the Caicos islands: "Last sum-

might pay American lobster packers
to send a man to this colony to visit
the Caicos islands to investigate the
question of supplementing the home
catch of Holsters by using the craw-
fish, which are plentiful in that Vi
cinity and are similar to our Holsters,
minus the large claws. Curiously
enough, the report had not been for
warded a month when an English
man came with a canning outfit,
