The property has a frontage of 16o

| the valuation Is based on South Temple
street values, so 1t is thus estimated at
| 5000 per front foot for the site alone.
| The fine residence there is the well
| known home of Col e F. Holmes.
The actual cost of the residence Is
estimated at $4,000. with furniture
that was valued at $4,000. veritable
palace for the times in which the house
was built.
The Church secured possession of the
property by paying Mrs. Amelia Young
$40, 600 for her life interest. The gov
ernment confiscated 1t at the time OF
the crusade. during tho marshalship OF
Frank Dyer, along with the Iitnlne
yard and other possessions or the
Church; but later restored all OF the
properties to their rightful owner Dur
Ing this time the residence was rented
for various purposes by Receiver Hen
~ Lawrence, the Keeley institute oc-
cupying II for some time, and for
while II lay idle and unoccupied.
Finally Col. f. F. Holmes, six years
ago bought the corner with its valuable
contents from the Church, through
President Snow, and has since retained
II as a residence when he and Mrs.
Holmes chance to be In this city. The
colonel has built In connection with
the residence a valuable art gallery,
and private garage, besides refurnish-
ing and decorating the house in cost
ly manner as he Is abundantly able to
do So The colonel is reputed to have
paid So 600 under what was then con-
sidered a market price. "a very good
buy" as the realty men said. the re-
ported figure being In the Immediate
ncighborhood of $4,000, for the entire
property. If the place is sold, it is
not believed the buildings will cut any
figure in the price paid. as these will
have to be cleared away as so much
wreckage, and the furniture Will be re-
moved by the conslgnor. On account
OF the historic associations of this
property. much interest is manifested
In Its disposition.

Campaign to Enlist New Members.

Secretary D, F. Collett has com
menccd a vigorous campaign to in

facturers' association of Utah. He
hopes that the meeting and big bun
quot to be given February 10 VIII

ed all applicants for membership, and
all who sign the roll before that date

monthly dues of So.
Mr.. Collctt says, "A good many
manufacturers throughout the state
complain that the people do not
patronize them as they deserve to be
patronizcd, yet some of these same
manufacturers do not join the Manu-
facturers' association. which Is es-
taollshed primarily to overcome the
very condition of which these men
complain The association Is here to
boost Utah products. and to educate
and Influence, as far as IL lies in its
power, the people to support home
institutions. In the face OF this fact,
many manufacturers are derelict In
lending their support to the aSsocia-
ton and thereby helping on in tho
good work of boosting for Utah"
The following is part of a letter
the secretary Is sending out to con-
Germs in various parts of the state:
Your attention is called to the fast
increasing membership of the Manu-
facturers' Association of Utah 1t would
be to the interest OF your firm to be

Many reasons could be given. but we
will name only few. First. the dues
are only So month, and the adver-
tising done by the association for its

amount Second. organized effort Is
one Of the main-springs of success in
any direction. You VIII have moro
than 100 big firms boosting your

rolled as a member. Third. every dol
Lar kept at home benefits you in COM
mon with \ every other manufacturer

other ways In which an association

you desire on Industrial affairs, and
often questions affecting your line of
work are submitted by others If a
member has troubles OF any kind. the
association takes upon itself the
task OF seeking to bring relief The
monthly membership meetings of the
association are entirely successful.
Members get acquainted with each
other: mutual interests are discussed
