10 enroll every prachcing architect in
the state in the new organization in

The national organization of the ar

Salt Lake has been conspicuous as the

to The Tribune.

HAMMETT, Ida, Feb, cit has
been definitely announced here today
by officers of the Kings Hill Extension
Irrigation company, limited, that wa
ter will be delivered through canals
covering the 5000 acres under the cx-
tension ditch in time for this year s
irrigation season, as promised, and it
fort will be made to deliver water on
all the land. In order TO deliver wa
ter for the lands under the reservoirs
1t is necessary to complete in a short
time the construction of two large
dams. One dam will be an earthen
structure containing something over
100000 cubic yards Of earth: the other
will be n masonry structure Of prac-
tically the same height of the earthen
dam but of much less length
l.. G. Bradley, manager of the com
rany, today stated that the engineer
ing work on these structures had pro-
gressed 10 such n stage that his com
pany is now ready to let tho contracts
for the construction, and that the bids
will be called for in the near future
He stated that the necessary tests
bad been made to determine the mn
ure of the foundation and 10 decide
the nature and form of the structures
He also stated that the lines of the
gathering and distributing canals had
been run so that the contractors can be
shown the nature of the territory in
which the work will have to be done
The specifications are now being drawn
and will be ready in n few days. Mr..
Bradley stated that the company OK.
poets to let these large contracts Just
as quickly as it can secure contractors
at a proper figure 10 do the work. He
stated that the work will be let by bid
and that the company wishes bids from
any contractors who are prepared to
do the work.
The completion of this system in time
TO catch this wears runofT will make
prompt and decisive work necessary but
will mean that the entire acreage of
the Kings Hill Extension Irrigation
company will be under water. While
this years completion of the reservoirs
is seriously questioned by the engi-
neers of the company, the management
is determined 10 have them completed
if possible, as the land is of so high
character and the owners are so anx-
ious to start its cultivation that the
company feels added expense 10 com
plete the work so early is iustifiable.

REAL ESTATE AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
IMPROVEMENTS START
WITH HOTEL OPENING
"Auerbach District Sees Be-
ginning of Transformation
on Business Lines.

Opening of the Linden hotel last
week had greater significance than
simply the placing of the old Manitou
in the ranks of frst.class hotels with
! elegant furnishings throughout for it
really meant the beginning Of the vast
improvements To be made in the yicin-
| ity OF State and Third South streets
by the Auerbachs. In remodeling and
furnishing the hotel, approximately
$4,000 was spent, but when the ot.ier
improvements are completed this sum
Will seem only an insignificant item
when compared with the total.

store building. Plans for this structure
arc now practically completed, and the
architect s designs are undergoing final
revision in New York. Every modern
idea IN department store building will
be incorporated in these plans, with
conveniences for buyer and seller that
will prove a revelation in Salt Lake
business circles. With the completion
Of this building it is estimated that
real estate values in the vicinity VIII
advance 20 per cent
Further improvements arc to be made
on the Knutsford hotel corner, where
from n point cast of the Linden hotel
to the north boundary Of the Knuts
ford 1t is probable that the vacant
lot between the Linden and the Knuts
ford will be built up with several hand
some store rooms and the transforma-
tion of Third South street, between
State and Second East, Will then be
well under way
II is said to be unlikely that any
great change will be made in the Knuts
ford hotel building at the expiration
of the Lease now held by Gus Holmes.
Instead of the building being changed
into an office structure or retail store
building, it is probable that after be
ing remodeled and refurnished, the
Aucrbachs will continue the Knutsford
under its old name.

To Erect Handsome Apartment House

Addison Cain has prepared plans for
a handsome Our.apartment building
which he will build in West Temple
street, opposite the new Jefferson
school building this spring. Contracts
for the building have already been let.
and Mr.. Cain said yesterday that ground
would be broken as soon as the wealth
er moderatcs, and 1t is his intention
to have the building completed by mid
summer.
The location is about 100 feet south
OF the corner of Meade street. and the
lot is 50xll5 feet. The exterior of the
building will be of light brick with
gray stone trimmings and the cost is
estimated at $1,000. Although it NAV
be SIX months before the building is
completed, two of the apartments are
already leased.

HOME OWNERSHIP IS
ADVICE OF BUILDER
Deed to Property Worth More
Than Accumulation of Rent
Receipts.

GA deed to a little home in Salt Lake
is worth more than bushel of rent
receipts and, with little foresight
the deed is just about as easy TO OBJ
tain," said local business man Satur-
day. "While there are Instances in
Salt Lake almost every day where
small fortunes arc made in investments
in the business district, few seem to
realize that the small investor has ms
good a chance to make money in this
way he continued "Residenco prop
erty is advancing as fast as any other
class of real estate, and the small in
weston has equal chances with the man
who has many thousands at his dis.
posal, The first step for the man Of
limited means and steady income should
be to own his own home.
1T is surprising TO note how little
forcthought is given by the men of
comparatively small income to the ad
visibility of investing IN and owning
real estate,
sSome four years ago when party
of Los Angeles investors visited Salt
Lake and picked up few hundred
thousand dollars worth of real estate
they had no idea that values would in
crease as rapidly as they have. OF
course each investor expected to make
some kind of profit but sales in the
last few months of this property show
results even beyond the expectations of
the most optimistic.
FThis increase in values in Salt Lake
is radiating in all directions. The older
residence districts in the city arc Civ
ing way to business blocks and other
tracts regarded few years ago as out
of the question for residence purposes
arc already dotted with handsome
homes and supplied with street car
