SPRING WILL BRING
BUILDING ACTIVITY

NewhOuse will be rushed at record
pace as soon as the weather will per
NIT. Contractors worked in a desul-
tory sort of way i'm placing some steel
in place on the Utah hotel during the
week, but the unfavOrable weather
initiated against any great activity.
At the meeting of the directors Of
the Utah Hotel company held on We'd
nesday information was given to the
effect that seven carloads of steel left
Salt Lake. 1t is expected that the first
consignment will reach here within a
few days, and then work will be re-
sumed by the Thompson terrett COM
pany on the steel sUperstructure Of the
big hotel building.
The announcement that the Orpheum
theatre interests. Martin Beck, presi-
dent, and the William Morris syndicate
would erect two large vaudeville houses
in Salt Lake, aggregating about half
a million dollars, was good news to
real estate and building men generally.
Both of these structures are to be built
on State street, the Orpheum on a site
near the StUdebaker Brothers compa-
ny, and the Morris on Exchange place.
The latter is 10 be erected by Samuel
NewhOuse for the Morris interests.
From all indications the activity in
subdivision and addition property will
be far ahead of that of last year. Sew

acres in the aggregate. are now being
plated and will be offered to the in

PARTMENT HOUSE
Of UNIQUE STYLE
Wood Building viii Look Like
Colonial Mansion When
Complete.

ArchltectS are striving at the present
time to design something out of the or
binary in apartment houses, due to the
fact that so many Of the apartment
houses constructed during the past
year have such a similarity of appear
ance. Using the colonial style of ar
chitecture as a basis upon which to
work, Architect D. c. Dart has sue
ceeded in drawing plans for an apart
ment house to be erected for George
H. Wood that is decidedly unique.
From the perspective of the apart
ment house it is shown that it lacks
the distinguishing characteristics that
have been presumed to mark construc-
ton Of this kind. 1t looks as though
it We're a big colonial mansion, instead
Of an apartment house, which will ac-
commodate fourteen tenants.
Work on the Wood apartment house
viii begin as soon as the weather will
permit. It is to be located at $50 East
Third South street. will be three sto-
ries, with basement, and will be con-
stTucted Of brick and stone It is es-
umated that the cost will be approx
imately 100000
The fourteen apartments in the
building are to be of three and four
rooms each. Space will be conserved
and utilized to the greatest degree by
the installation Of disappearing beds.
The interior construction will be in
keeping with the excellence of the out
side construction. The floors will be Of
hardwood: other woodwork in the
building will be natural finish.
One Of the most notable of the
modern improvements is the dumb eIe-
vatOr service. Each apartment viii |
have its own elevator, and everything |
necessary in the household supply line |
will be handled from the basement.
In the basement will be located the
steam heating plant and the laundry
room. The latter will be equipped so |
hat the tenants will be independent of
he local laundry companies, if they so
lesire.
The vestibule is one of the most ar
istic features of the building. It will
,e done I'm marble and will have annie
width. In addition to pOrches in the
rOnt of the building. there will he
Dorches in the rear. where the tenants
nay sit in the cool of the summer

NO STOP TO BUILDING
Even Unsettled Weather Conditions
Do Not Interrupt Erection of New
Homes Here.

Apparently nothing can stop the
building movement in Salt Lake, for
even during the unsettled weather of
the past two weeks new buildings have
been started, and architects are busy
preparing plans for others. In Federal
Heights work on the new residence of
G. 3. LOckhart, to be erected on Perry
avenue, just east Of the new home of
a. V. Callaghan, was started about two
weeks ago, and the concrete founda-
ton is now practically completed. The
new building will face north. and is To-
Gated in the midst of the portion of the
Heights which has shown the greatest
tendency to become built up.
Arrangements are being made by A.
Y, CaIlaghan TO move into his new
home not later than March 1. The in
side Of the building is nearly finished
Carpenters have completed their work
in the second story, and the painters
will be through within the coming week.
on the lower floor painters will prob
ably begin operations within the next
ten days, and on the completion of the
decorating the plumbers will require a
week or two to complete their work.
Horace Dunbar has approved the
plans for his new home prepared by
Architect Lepper, TO be erected on the
lot purchased by him recently on the
brow Of the hill. just west of the resi-
denCe Of Howard Stowe The site is near
Federal Way, which leads to Fort
Douglas, and Just north of the grounds
of the University of Utah. The place
is an attractive one, and Mr. Dunbar
plans to erect a home that will be in |
keeping with the locality.

our stately forests are fast disap-

REALTY FIRM REPORTS
HEAVY ACREAGE SALES

Walker Brothers & Muir, dealers in
real estate. report sales during the past
week of acreage in various parts of the
state aggregating $4,000. Members of
the firm are optimistic over the out
look for business in the real estate
field this year, and believe that the
wonderful record of last year win be

N hoping that the grounding slept
so soundly in his winter quarters on
| February 2 that he failed to awake in
time to come out and see his shadow.
Operations in all lines of real estate
activity have been practically at
standstil for some weeks past, and last
week was of a particularly quiescent
nature. Few deals of any moment were
made.
In spite of the unusually long dull
period, there is a hopeful tone to the
market, however. Too many big things
are brewing for dealers to feel in any
thing but an optimistic mood. Much is
dependent on the weather, and as soon
as spring comes in earnest then there
will be an activity which, it is thought,
will eclipse the busy days of last
spring.
The aggregate of sales made by all
the dealers during the past week viii
not equal any one of a number of sin
gle sales made before winter weather
put the brakes on real estate activity.
A few sales for investment purposes
are recorded during the week. Final
payment was made and deed passed in
the sale of the building occupied by the
Richardson & Adams company on Main
street by the Daft estate to w. o. Kay
of Ogden. The consideration was
$4,000 The next largest sale of the

BIG OPPORTUNITY IN
THE CAREY LAND ACT
It's Privileges Are Little Known
Without Perusal of
Provisions.

Although the Carey land act has been
on the statute books for more than six
years, there is a surprising ignorance
among realty men and prospective set
tiers concerning the rights Of the act,
the privileges it grants and the scope
which it covers. The following brief
resume Of the Carey act may be found
valuable.
Under the Carey act any person is
entitled to apply for land who is u
years of age or over. Any single woman
p years of age, any widow, an alien
who has declared his intention to be-
come citizen and any person who is
the head Of a family, Hhich has been
construed to mean a father, a widow,
son or a daughter, even II they be
less than q years Of age. An alien,
however, must file a certified COPY Of
his naturalization papers, or Of his in
tentiOn papers.
Even though the entryman has ex-
hausted his homestead, timber, pre-
emptiOn and other government rights
accorded him. he is still entitled to Sc
cure Carey act lands. Filing on less
than $50 acres under this act does not
exhaust his right-he is still entitled
to the unused portion, providing same
is used upon a different project, or if
used upon the same project, that an
Of sixty days elapse between
filings.
