| Though this declaration made dis
tinct sensation among the officers and
orderlies, and though the sergeant,
who was a shorthand reporter, broke
three pencils in his agitation. Major
Fathers never let down by even one
degree the saturnine dignity Of his
presence. Craighead sang with fine
independence Of tune. but with an
air and style Of tone emission which
reminded all hearers Of a basso pro-
fundo laboring In the trough of the
heaviest vocal sea.
Oh. It's twenty miles to Vassar. and the
Hudson for to cross!
There's regulations to be broke at both

Oh. it's twenty miles to Vassar,
But it's fifty smiles at Vassar.
And it's other lovey-dovey things in hosts

Oh, the love Of dear Belinder burns his
heart into a cinder,
And Jim will be at Vassar ere the morn

A slight redness crept up under the
tan of Major Fathers cheek; slight
culver of the thin nostril betrayed the
fact that Craighead's song had touched
some spot that thrilled. Mr.. Craighead
asked if it would be necessary to ad-
duce more proof Of his identity.

BUYS ADDITIONAL LAND
J. K. Mullen Purchases Property at
Third West and Seventh South
For Warehouse Site.

The demolition of two historic struc-
lures at Third West and Seventh South
streets will soon follow as the result Of
the purchase Of the property yesterday
for ]. K. Mullen of Denver by A. H.
VOgeler through the real estate firm Of
Burt & CaTlquist. The price paid for
the property is approximately $4,000.
The two buildings on the property
have been occupied for many years as
the meeting house and amusement hall
of the MOrmons OF the Fifth ward.
When ground was purchased on Second
West. between Seventh and Eighth
South streets, by the ward, and new
meeting house erected, it was decided to
sell the old property to get funds with
which TO assist in completing the new
building.
The purchase by Mr.. Mullen brings
his realty holdings IN Salt Lake up TO
about $4,000. Recently he purchased a
tract Of property on Third West street,
between Second and Third South
streets, for $4,000, on which will be
erected a large mill for the IntermouN-
tain Milling & Elevator company, a
concern promoted by Mr.. Mullen.
It is said that the property was
bought for warehouse purposes. 1t is
close TO the Denver & Rio Grande
tracks and IS excelIently located as a
jObbing and distributing property.

ASPHALT AREA IN
VARIOUS CITIES
Tendency of Present Day Is
Toward Cemented Surface
SuppIanting Others.

Washington stands fourth in the list
Of American cities in the area Of as
phalt streets, according to the latest
bulletin issued by the census bureau,
says the Washington Post. It has to-
tai of 100000 square yards Of the ce-
mental surface. which its engineer de-
partment IS required TO look after day
and night
Outranking Washington in this re-
spect are New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia. But the condition of Washing
ton streets. and the fact that the greater
part of them are asphalted, leaves the
general impression that no city in TIE
country can boast of as many miles of
smooth surfaces. Cobblestone pave
ments are so much IN evidence in GER
tain quarters Of the three other cities
mentioned as to leave the impression
that more yards of streets are uncov-
cred by asphalt than really is the case.
Following Washington in asphalt area
are San Francisco and Buffalo. Balti-
more, although the sixth city in the
United States in population, comes far
down on the list, with only $40 900 yards
of asphalt thOrOughfaTes. The MOnu-
mental City also possesses 5,OS4,21
square yards of cObblestone streets, an
area three times greater than that of
Philadelphia, and equal to the combined
cObblestOne area of Cleveland, Buffalo
and Cincinnati. Washington also ranks
high to macadamized streets, with 1,300,-
000 square yards, while the area of cob
blSetOne paving is so small as to be
scarcely worth estimating. Chicago and
Detroit possess between them more than
two thirds of the wood block pave
ments in the United States.
A notable tendency of the present
day, says the bulletin, is toward asphalt
pavements at the expense Of wood
block CObbIestOne, gravel, granite and
Belgian block. The bulletin gives a to-
tai length Of sewers of all classes in 157
of the 1853 cities in the United States
which possess population of 10000 or
more as 1856 miles.
New York is placed first on the list,
with Chicago second, while Washington
ranks alongside Of Pittsburg, with 521
miles Of sewers. Baltimore is again near
the bottom of the list, with only sixty
two miles, ranking with such cities as
Fall River, Mass, which boasts of six
ty-eight miles of sewers.

BUILDING NEW HOMES
Activity in Federal Heights Addition
Will Start With Opening
of Spring.

With the closing OF contracts during
the past week with Architect w. II.
Lepper for the construction Of a hand
some new home on WolcOtt avenue, in
Federal Heights, for Horace Dunbar,
preliminary steps were taken for the
erection of the new structure, and
ground was broken at once. The build
ing is to be ready for occupancy Oy ear
ly summer. The site, which was re-
Gently purchased by Mr.. Dunbar. Is
near the extreme southeast corner of
the new addition, and is located nearly
opposite the home Of Howard Stowe. 1t
will be near the beautiful grounds of
the state university, and will be one Of
the most slightly in the entire tract.
The first break in the weather permit
ted resumption Of work on the new
home OF G. B. Lockhart, on Perry ave-
nue., Just west of the new Callaghan
house, and the brick work on the Struc-
tuTe is completed up to the top of the
first story, so that the roof will be
placed in a day or two. This structure
Will be Of the bungalow type. one story
and a half high. and will cost about
$4,000. This building will also be ready
for occupancy by the early part OF
summer

PROFITABLE BUSINESS
Real Estate Man Advocates Raising
of Hogs By D. Farmers
Throughout State.

pigs is pigs and hogs is hogs and
the sooner the ranchers and dry farm
ers Of Utah realize It the better for
their prosperity and the general
progress of the state" said a well
known dealer in farm lands yesterday.
1T has been demonstrated that the
raising OF pigs can be accomplished on
a dry farm at very little expense, and
in view of the high price which pork
has commanded for some time past, 1t
seems to me that there could be no
better way by which dry farmers could
add a little cash TO their bank account.
There are many sections of Utah
right along the railroad, thus assuring
good markets, where hogs can be raised
at greater profit, perhaps, than almost
anything else.
Field peas grow prOlifically without
irrigation. and on this crop and an al
faIfa field the pigs may pasture during
the summer. During the winter months
durum wheat, speitz and hulless barley
grown on dry farms without irrigation.
may be used in the fattening OF the
shOat5.
THE grain is soaked In barrels and
fed 10 the hogs three times a day
without cooking, and has been proven
10 be a good feed.
ION the dry farms is the finest place
in the world to raise pigs. for as a gen
eTal rule such districts are free of chol-
era and other diseases. With pork at
the high mark since the civil war it
seems that the hog industry should
have more attention paid TO il by the
Tanchers aud dry farmers

MILLING PURCHASE
LARGEST FOR WEEK
Little Activity in Small Sales,
Owing to InCIemenCy of
the Weather.

Inclement weather during the greater
part of last week was responsible TO a
great extent for q rather quiet real es-
tate market. Several deals close to the
$4,000 mark were made, but there was
a noticeable falling off in the amount
of small sales.
The passing Of deeds in the deal of
J. K. Mullen, whereby he acquired a
large tract Of land on Third West
street. between Second and Third South
streets. for $4,000. was among the not
able happenings in real estate circles.
On this property viii be erected a large
Touring mill to cost over 500 900.
Another deal of Importance was the
the leasing by the Western Packing
company of Chicago, for $4,000, of a
piece of property on Fourth West
street. \ plant TO cost $4,000 is TO be
erected on this ground.
Considerable activity is reported in
the various addition and subdivision
properties. Dealers who are handling
these properties report a continued de.
mand for lots on which the buyers an
nounce intention of building homes in
the spring.
In spite Of the storms in the early
part of. the week, some Of the buildings
in course Of erection have presented q
scene OF activity. Steel on the New
house and Utah hotels Is being rapidly
put in place, and notable progress was
noted during the past week
Work on the NeWhOuse theatre, cor
neT State street and Exchange place.
has been commenced in earnest. Men
and teams were busy during the week
in excavating for the 5000 900 structure.
The coming of open weather will
mean much 10 both the real estate and
building lines. Great things are ex-
pected by both dealers and contractors.

SMALL SUMS EXPECTED
BY Y. w. C. A. WOMEN

The campaign for funds to meet the
current expenses of the year being
waged by the Young Women's Chris
tian association Of Salt Lake continues
to meet with encouraging results. So
far a total Of s1,97125 has been collect
ed, and there is little doubt on the part
of the ladies back of the campaign that
a sufficient amount will be raised to
take care of all of the expenses of the
institution during the year 1910.
The business men Of the city have
been especially liberal, and while no
large donations have been sought, there
have been several very substantial
checks rendered. The idea of the cam
paigners is to get everybody to dorate
a small sum, so that everyone in the
city will have some interest in the as
ISOLATION, which has been the means of
helping many a young and older wom-
an in the CITY
