BRIGHAM CITY, Jan. l4.-This city
is apparently strongly in favor OF a state
capitol building. as remarked By a num-
Der Of prominent citizens. a local news
paper today has the following TO say,
edltorislly, on the needs Of a state capi-
toi:
One OF the things mentioned in the
message OF Governor Spry TO the legisla-
ture was the imperative need of a state
capitol building. The expression of the
governor will doubtless meet the aD-
proval OF The ma jority of the lawmakers
as well as the citizens OF the state, for
Utah is certainly OF sufficient impor-
tance in the union. and is surely f1nan-
cially able 10 erect such a building.
Our civic pride is more or less hurt
by the fact that We have no building OF
our own where the government OF the
state is dispensed. but have 10 rent quar-
ters from Salt Lake City and county in
which TO house the various departments.
This is certainly not as il should be in
a state with the resources that Utah
has. We want state capitol. build
all the coming years. and building COM
mensurate with the growth and develop
nlent Of The state.
States younger in settlement have
handsome state buildings. and there Is
no state anywhere that has 2 better To-
catiGn than that proposed for the state
capitol on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City.
The legislature Will strike a responsive
chord in the hearts of the people il il
enscts measures providing for the erec-
ton OF state building.

aging facts about affairs In the Gem
state, which indicate great prosperity
and progress. There are three prin.
cipal reasons for better tines-easier
money, active building and rapid de
velopment of natural resources. The
wool men are selling the 1910 clip
which has been stored in Chicago. 256..
600 tons OF hay in southern Idaho
which has been held for higher prices
is being sold rapidly, and the nam.
moth Boise irrigation project is TO be
pushed Immediately, which means the
expenditure Of S1,000,000 within the
next few months.
Last spring the wool men OF the west
lolned the association to store wool IL

received. The banks have been carry

awaiting the pleasure Of the sheepmen
After a long wait, many men are sell

the other S6,000,000 Will be on hand
when needed. This project viii reclaim
100000 acres of land near Boise, and
will require a railroad. to be contin-
ued from Barberton. six miles above
Boise, for fifteen miles 20 the dam. This
railroad must be built before heavy
work begins, and, the engineers say,
construction work will commence on
the road Immediately. Kuhn brothers,
who built the Twin Falls project. have
charge OF the work.
As evidence of IDAHO s prosperity it
is stated that building operations have
not slackened, but that many contem-
plated structures in Boise and other
places will be pushed without hind
rance. The banks are showing more
liberal spirit and all Join IN welcoming
continued good times.

From the standpoint Of an archi-

beautiful cities in the world It's broad
streets, its magnificent distances and
It's beautiful business blocks and homes

TO every one who makes their first
visit to this city. ] have learned much
in the architectural beauty of city
during the few hours I have spent in
Salt Lake City.
This was the statement made Satur-
day afternoon by Mr.. Baldwin, one of
the leading architects OF Detroit, who
spent several hours in this city en- route
TO the west. Mr.. Baldwin was one of
the party of eastern architects en- route
to San Francisco to attend the national
convention of architects, which Will be
held in that city this week
The party, numbering seventy five,
arrived In this city at 9:45 O'Clock
Saturday morning in special train
over the Denver & Rio Grande Shortly
after the special reached this city the
members of the party went TO the San
itarium, where they enjoyed hot sui
phur water bath. At noon they were
the guests at a special organ recital
given at the tabernacle. Professor KIM

opening of the new, from retail store
standpoint this year. lends confidence
to the claim that 1911 will be a ban
ner year.
In hardware lines the past two weeks
has shown a steady business. Future
shipments in the wholesale lines prom
ise to be heavy. Inquiries for heavy
structural material are stronger at this
time than they were last year, indicat-
Bar iron and sheet iron have received
heavy calls IN the last two weeks.
Spring trade in all respects is in salts
factory condition among the hardware
merchants, and orders are booked now
far in excess of last year at this time
Feeling Of Security.
There is a general feeling of security
IN the outlook for the hardware trade
for the year. Most dealers find stocks
light at the end of the year. At this
season jobbers are stocking up for
spring trade.
Furniture stores show discount sales
probably stronger than any other re-
tail line. With the heavier class OF
trade, the prices were slashed more
than half IN many instances, and the
result has been a tremendous trade in
these lines. Stocks have been cleared
by discount sales and many orders are
being taken. There seems to be a gen
eral house cleaning movement on foot in
the city in which new house furnish
ings will play an important part. Floor
coverings and wall decorations will be
in the lead when spring opens up.
Clothiers in Line.
Clothing merchants, too, have felt
the result OF applying the discount sales
TO all departments. Not a clothing store
in town has failed to get in line on this
annual discount sale movement Spring
stocks will find clear shelves IN most of
the clothing stores. January will close
with merchants of the city in first
class shape for the spring trade.
The dry goods stores next week will
open their annual white sale, when mus
lin, linens, muslin underwear and white
goods in the piece will prevail 1t is
an event looked forward TO with zeal
by the housewife who recognizes real
bargains. The stores Of the city will |
be mountains of white, and if ANYTHING
like former success attends the sales |
the stores will be crowded.
Many items Of the heavier stocks will |
be continued under discounts to liven up |
the buying.
