BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The business Of this city during the
week has rather more than kept pace
with the business of the corresponding
week last year. In both weeks day
was lost by holiday, and the clear
ances were decreased somewhat in con
has been fair. with good results.
The announcement during the week
by Mr.. NJ, H Walker Of his intent
to begin this year the construction of
great Office building on the northeast
corner Of Main and Second South
streets, TO be at least twelve stories
high, was received with enthusiasm
throughout the city. The announce
ment was made on Thursday afternoon,
and was just what was needed to in
spire new life and energy into the sit.
uation.
The finishing of business blocks. of
fats, apartments, and dwelling houses
throughout the city has progressed in
good form during the week, New
structures of various kinds are planned
and in process Of construction, The
building permits for June show lively
results, both in number and in amount
to be expended on building work.
The enterprising merchants of the
city have had well-appointed special
sales during the week, which have given
trade a boost that brought the aggre-
10 nf 80 1oc
sales have increased, and collections
have been satisfactory, For these rea-
sons merchants are content with the
business of the week All conditions
point to a large and lively summer
trade.
Real estate has been quiet, but the
general trend Of business gives hope
full outlook to the dealers. Realty is
well held, and prices are satisfactory to
buyer and seller alike. Sacrifice sales
of property are unknown. The market
is firm, and values show increasingly
strong.
The outlook for the crops in Utah is
first class, and especially for dry farm
ing. Dry farming operations in Utah
this year are so largely in excess Of
those of former years that the results
will be record, and the measuring up
of the harvest will be something worth
special attention.
Within the week more than five
thousand tourists have stopped in Salt
Lake en- route to the Pacific Coast, or
TO Yellowstone Park.
The Phoebe Pacific Railroad Company
has been incorporated to extend an
ore-hauling branch from Phoebe to
Bullionvile.
The Southern Pacific has put an ad-
ditional force at work to rush double
tracking of its road from Ogden west
to Montello, Nevada.
Unofficial but persistent reports are
that the Burlington will this year be.
gin the construction of its line from
Guernsey, Wyoming, to Salt Lake City.
For this it has one of the best track
surveys that has ever been made IN
the mountain country.

in the country at large quiet week
in trade is reported, with uncertainty
in reports from the crops. The weather
in the East has been excessively hot,
and there are fears that it has injured
the grain in good many places; but
reports are not uniform as to this, nor
quite trustworthy. Kansas, which was
first stated to be the scene of this in
jury, reports an unusually heavy wheat
crop. The Topeka State Journal says
that in the northeast section some
wheat has been harvested that yielded
51A bushels to the acre, this being

Utah mines have experienced the usual
quiet and uninteresting Fourth of July
week, the first half of which WAS spent
in preparation for. and the latter half
in the recovery from, the holiday oc-
cason. Despite the scarcity of news
features, however. the estimates of ore
production and dividends disbursed BY
Utah companies for the first half OF
the year are in excess of those for the
corresponding period Of last year.
Metal conditions remain quiet and
steady. there being no change over last
week in silver, lead. or copper, The
Copper Producers Association Will is
sue its June figures tomorrow, and the
showing is expected to be very fa-

quotations have shaded down slightly,
there is no copper selling or offered for
less than 12M cents per pound and 13
cents is confidently predicted either late
in July or early in August.
The stock markets are unusually dull
and unresponsive TO encouraging news.
Attention has been conferred upon the
unsatisfactory crop rumors The in.

Riley, Kan, June 8. - Edward j.
Otto, son of F. G. Otto, president of
the Riley State bank, narrowly es-
capped drowning here. He, together
with Harold Abel, Wendell Abel,
Lewis Timmons and Frank Clark were
bathing. Timmons and Clark had not
yet entered the water when they
noticed that Ed Otto was struggling
and feeb1y calling for help. Harold
Abel went to the drowning boys as
sistance. He was entirely beneath the
water except his hands, which were
weakly cropping for something to grasp.
Both sank beneath the surface. The
boys on the bank said there was a
time when nothing but their feet were
above the water. About tbs time the
drowning one got his arms around his
rescuer's knees, and while breaking
this grip they both sank. The water
was ten feet deep and il was about
twenty to shallow water. Abel was
nearly exhausted but he managed to
reach shallow water and had just
breath enough to say poe" A fish
ing pole was handed him. The lad
grasped it AMI was towed to the shore.

ment as they had been taught
The boy was nearly dead and was

GIRL WEEDS NAVAJO CHIEF.
Society Girl Bride of Fathers Former
Ranch Foreman.

Boston, Mass, June S.-Miss Lor-
rette Colombo. a Boston society girl, is
today the bride of Chief Wolf Wanna,
a full blooded Navajo Indian. They
were married last night.
The romance which led to the mar
riage dates back to the time when Miss
Colombo, then girl of L g. spent some
time on her fathers ranch in San An
tonic, Texas, where Chief Wanna was
employed as a foreman. She was at
tracted to the Indian, a Carlisle gradu-
ate, and he reciprocated her feeling.
An engagement followed some years
later.
Chief Wanna for the last five years
has travelled for the government, lee
turing on Indian life in war and peace.

possible, Vernon's selection as minis
ter to Haiti. Moreover, they say
that DIR. Vernon has always had the
highest regard for the Haitian people,
and desires to see them brought up
to the highest standard of intelligence
and prosperity. He does not want
them to be made dependents of this
or any other country.
The ministership to Haiti pays an
annual salary of $4,000. The posi-
ton is now held by Henry w. F'urniss,
a colored man from Indiana. He was
appointed to the office on November
rs. 1900, by President Roosevelt. AL
though there is strong effort being
made by Indiana politicians to h
Furniss retained. it is stated on the
best of authority that President Taft
has made up his mind to make
change in the office.
Another candidate seeking the HIATT
ian appointment is colored man or
West Virginia, who at present is clerk
of the supreme court of that state.
No candidate is better qualified and
endorsed for the appointment than
DIR. Vernon of Kansas. His many po-
full that the alleged statements made
by his enemies in relation to the flu
ture of the Haitian republic will not
prevent his selection as minister to
that country.
Something of a sensation is expected
to be soon exploited in connection with
Booker T. Washington's recent trouble
in New York city, when the great
educator was beat up by white man.

Washington concerning the facts OF
this episode.
