VALUABLE BUILDING
PAYING FOR ITSELF
Object Lesson for Holders of
UnimprOyed Real Estate
in Salt Lake.
RECENT LEASE SHOWS
HOW IMPROVEMENT PAYS
Income From Rental Covers
Principal and Interest in
a Short Time.

An object lesson for holders of un-
improved real estate is hidden in the
announcement that the two.story
building just completed by the Birrell-
Shipp company for a. II, Little Mt 217
West Second South street has been
leased to Charles Sturgis for a period
Of. FIVE years. The total rental is $14-
700 and the building was erected for
$10,33S. Thus, instead of simply
paying taxes on his vacant lot, Mr..
Little has erected substantial build
ing which will pay for itself in five
years and give ap additional $4362 in-
come during the same period of time
The lot which has been owned by
Mr., Little for many years, was worth
about 5000 front foot. aud the
taxes were something like $50 year,
while the lot was increasing in value
at about that rate. He was induced
to improve The property on n promise
that building which would cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 would
yield rental Of about $1,000 year.
Although real estate men and build
ers have, as a class, been accused at
times of overestimating profits, IN this
instance the estimate was much lower
than the actual results. Arrange
ments for the erection OF the building
were made three months ago and a
loan was made at Z per cent for the
erection of the building, with a provi-
sion that repayment should be made
at rate of $1o3 a month"; which
would repay tho principal and interest
in 141 months. Another provision,
however, was that Mr. Little could pay
as much rs he chose at any time, thus
cutting down interest charges to suit
his means or convenience.
Saw It In The Tribune.
When the building was completed
last month there was an expense Of
about $40 for advertising before it
was leased. An advertisement in The
Tribune was read by Charles Sturgis
of Shoshone, Idaho, and tho deal for
the lease was closed last week by A,
n. RosenbauT, secretary OF the Bir-
rell,Shipp Realty company.
The building has frontage Of thirty
feet on West Second South street and

FARMERS PLAN To
SELL PRODUCE DIRECT

Seattle, July 26.-For the purpose Of
marketing the products of the farm
direct to the consumer, eliminating the
middleman entirely, the formation OF
an organization to be known as the
Washington Grange Cooperative As
ISOLATION was decided upon yesterday
at meeting of State Grange delegates
representing TWENTY-FIVE counties, held
in the Labor Temple.
To organize such an association, a
committee of three managers was APP
pointed. 1t is to have charge of the
business of the Grange Cooperative
Association, to employ agents for the
conduct and promotion of such bust
ness, and to maintain bureau of in
formation for the benefit of the grang-
ers of the state.
To Consolidate Existing Enterprises.
The committee will consider plan
to unite all the cooperative stores in
the state, now numbering over 150,
with market to be established in Sc
attic, forming one vast organization
that will buy the entire output OF
manufacturers and establish . dis.
tributing point in Seattle.
The board of managers elected "

power to act by the Washington Stats
Grange, consists of C. B. Keagleys Of
Palouse, for term of three years:

grange unanimously decided against
adopting the plan Of the Equity Co
operative Company. after E G. Get
singer, fiscal agent for the company
had explained the working Of the sys
tenn. It was decided, however, to CON
fer further, and it seems probable thu
the objectionable features may BE- OK
minated. -
