FLATS AND HOMES
IN GREAT DEMAND
Apartment Houses Find no Diff
ficuIty in Finding Tenants
for Rooms.

Though there has been nothing
startling moving in real estate cir
Giles, IT is Interesting TO note the de-
mand for homes and flats in Sak
Lake. In spite of the many apart
ment houses that have gone up dur
ing the last two years. representing
an outlay OF more than 100000
none Of the apartments, comparative
~ speaking. are vacant. There are a
few unOccupied. but there are calls
for all OF them. and most OF the apart
ment houses have long waiting lists.
The same condition is reported
among real estate men who do a big
rental business for homes. The best
Of the homes which are open for
rental have been taken and many in
quiries have been made for others
There are houses scattered about the
city which are for rent, but some
thing has been found wrong with
them. as rule, accounting for their
vacancy.
There is no better indication OF
the growth OF a city than the demand
for the rental property. both in homes
and flats" said a real estate man yes
terday who had been handling
rentals for several years. And the
fact that there is none OF these rooms
IN salt Lake shows that many people
arc coming here. When q new resi-
dent comes TO a city with his family,
the first thing he does IS find a flat
or home to rent. Then. II he likes
the place and makes good, he buys a
home OF his own. And the fact that
all Of the rental property IS gone
proves TO me that salt Lake is grow
Ing fast at the present time"
Rentals for flats are as high as
ever, and people seem willing to pay
the high rates to get the rooms. II
was thought that with the many new
flats the rates would fall. but the de-
mand has continued. and as long as
this condition exists-when the de-
mand is greater than the supply-it Is
probable that there will be no de-
crease.

From April to October, 1907. the

west end of the yards to be in

From all the evidence that has
been presented here" said Judge
Holland, 'it is my opinion that the
defendants had no right to adjust

CONGRESS MAKES
TWO new STATES
Senate Passes Bill To Admit
Arizona and New Mexico.
HOUSE WILL ACCEPT The CHANGES.
As Amended BY The Senate II Might
Two And A Half Years Before The
Law Would Become Operative.
And The House Conferees Want
To Shorten The Time To The
Spring OF 1911.

Washington, d. G. Especially -
The Statehood bill passed the Sen
ate without a dissenting vote. 1t
provides for the admission of Ariz-
ona and New Mexico into the Union
as separate States. The bill had al
ready passed the House in different
form and will now go into confer
ence, where, It Is understood, the
differences will be adjusted to the
satisfaction of the Administration.
The passage of the bill in a single
afternoon is a surprise. 1t seemed
impossible few days ago. But Presi-
dent Taft insisted upon the passage
of some sort of bill to admit the
two new States, and the leaders
made the agreement which will meet
the Presidents wishes.
Senator Carter announced that
it is the plan in conference to ac-
cept the House bill, with two provi-
sions in the Senate bill. One of
these provides that when the State
Constitutions have been ratified by
the people the same shall be submit
ted to the President and Congress
Congress approve, or If the President
approves and Congress fails to ap-
prove at the next regular session
of Congress, the election of State
officers, members of the Legislatures,
Representatives in Congress and all
other officers are to take place in
1911, instead Of 1910, as the House
bill provided.
The object is to allow President
Taft and Congress to prevent the
of any constitutional pro-
visions they do not approve. Sena-
tor Beveridge said in his speech;
1.-The nation is as vitality interested
in the form of government of the
States which creates as are the new
States themselves. This is not only
a measure of justice, but of safety.
1t will prevent unsound provisions
in the Constitutions"

State of Terror.
Circus Train Derailed Near Ebens-
burg, Pa, And Two Lions An
Elephant, A Leopard, A Hyena,
Jaguar And An hex Escaped
Circus Employees Captured All The
Beasts But The Hyena.

Ebenburg, Pa. Especially Wild
animals from a travelling circus
we're liberated by the heavy wagon
cages striking girder of low
bridge as the train was running
from this place to Gallitzin, on the
Cresson and Cambria Branch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Three fiat
cars we're derailed and three wagon
cars were demolished. The report
that the animals infested the coun-
try excited the neighborhood, and
the frightened farmers refused to
aid in ruonding up the menagerie.
Two circus employees caught in
the wreckage we're painfully, but
not seriously, hurt, and were
taken to a hospital at Altoona.
Later in the day all the animals
were captured except the hyena.
Two lions, an elephant, one leop-
ard, one hyena, one jaguar and an
ibex were at large as a result OF the
derailment.
At the scene of the wreck a low
bridge spans a deep gully. AS the
circus train passed over the bridge
three of the wagons which contained
the animals struck low hanging
giders and we're overturned. The
cars carrying the wagon cages were
derailed and thrown over the en-
biankment leading to the bridge.
In the darkness of the early morn
ing the confusion following the de-
railment of the menagerie cars was
terrifying. The howls of the wild
animals, which fed in every direc-
ton, were mingled with the cries of
the injured men pinned under the
wreckage At the time of the acct
dent the train was making better
than 20 miles an hour on a down
grade. The engineer stated that he
threw on his emergency brakes when
he felt the first shock of the cars
against the bridge girders. His act
probably saved many lives.
A special train, sent from here.
with physicians and nurses, assisted
in the care of the injured.

than ever gathered in that canyon
in any ones memory. With the
Rough Riders ahead of him and 400
frock-coated and silk-hatted officials
and prominent citizens in carriages
behind him, he moved along with
Mayor Gaynor and Cornelius Van
derbilt, and there was no doubling
his popularity.
The final scene of his welcome
was as dramatic as any lover of SEN
sations may hope for. These Rough
Riders were drawn up facing down
Fifth Avenue, and the first thing he
did was to stride from horse to horse
and shake hands with every rider
of them. The Spanish War veterans
of the whole country presented him
an album of complimentary resolu-
tions, in acceptance of which Mr..
Roosevelt spoke dozen earnest
words. It was all over in a Whit
and at 1876 p. NJ. he was speeding
down Fifth Avenue in a motor car
on his way to lunch at 433 Fifth
Avenue, the home of Mrs. II. A.
Alexander, the mother of his son
Theodore's fiancee. He went to Long
Island City for his train in a furious
storm of wind and rain, and the
flags that had been so gay were
nothing but sodden rags. But his
luck. as the city said, had held. The
fogs had rolled away for him. The
sun had frightened his reception.
For all of the celebration that count
ed there had been perfect weather.
Thousands who were making home
ward from Broadway and Fifth Ave-
nue. were drenched, but they took it
in the best of humor. They had gazed
and cheered and got excited and they
had taken part in a spectacle that
even New York will remember for
many a day.
