FRUIT CROP Of UTAH
IS FULL OF PROMISE
Modern Methods Adopted Mean
Much to the HOrticul-
turists.

That the fruit crops of the state are
in good condition, with much finer spec.
iTcns obtainable than usual, was de
dlarcd yesterday by j. Edward Taylor,
state horticultural inspector, who has
returned from a series of trips through
out the frnit-bearing zones of the state.
According to Mr.. Taylor, fruitgrow-
ers this year took advantage of the ad-
vice issued them through the horticul-
tural department with regard to spray
ing and other protective measures ta-
ken against the spring frosts and dan
gerous pests or diseases. During Mr..
Taylor extensive inspection tour, he
found very few orchards infected with
the codling moth or San Jose scale,
which are most inimical to good bear
ing.
In Mr.. Taylor opinion the output
this year will be right up to the stand
ard in every way Farmers are grad
unlly coming TO the realization, he says.
that IT is safest to use modern methods
In horticulture, with the result that
the season has been unusually free
from infectious diseases that strip fruit
zones of their richest Yields,

FREIGHT RATES DECISION
STIMULATING BUSINESS

Commenting on the business situation
OF the week, Vice President l. II, Farms
worth OF Walker Brothers. bankers. said
The most important recent develop
ment has been the Interstate commerce
commission decision affecting freight
rates TO Salt Lake City. This will have
an immediate effect. because wholesale
merchants as rule have curtaIled their
purchases pending a decision of this case
They now have a basis on which to
work The decision Will increase the ter
ritory Of jobbers In many lines and they
Will be purchasing more freely than
would have been the case had the decl-
sion been otherwise. This advantage
TO Salt Lake, as a jobbing center. will
also mean the establishment: OF branches
for outside houses. employing more men
and contributing generally TO the pros
perity OF the city.
There is a much better feeling In the
east, as well as in the intermountain
country. The actual improvement in
trade Is al present more in the agri-
cultural districts than 1t IS I'm Salt Lake
CITY. the retail merchants reporting
about an average business, Salt Lake
retailers Will probably feel the benefit
more In the fall.
"One important feature of the general
situation is that the movement OF crops
this fall will probably cause little strain
on the financial market The banks have
ample reserves with which to finance
this annual movement easily

Popular New Home Section Not
Affected by the Summer
Season.
BUILDING IS GOING AHEAD
Illustration Is Given of What
Push and Energy Can Do
in Salt Lake.

Not the least popular of the many
new subdivisions that have been laid
out for the upbulldlng of Salt Lake S
outskirts and consequently the develr
opment of Greater Salt Lake, is LIB
erty Heights, which within six months ,
time has changed from an even plain
of sagebrush on the southeastern bench
overlooking the city, to an attractive
residence addition of promise. Despite
the lull in building operations, which
has marked the dull season common to
the real estate business during the
warmer season, this addition. and like
wise many others extending on either
side along the foothills, has already be
gun TO demonstrate the possibilities of
the benches as future residence sites.
Above is shown a force of men at
work on the first bungalow erected at
Liberty Heights. Prior to the com
mencement of it's erection, which took
place on Arbor day, the tract was pre-
pared for a subdivision by the Ashton
jenkins company, during the season
when SO many realty concerns were
booming outside city properties and
prospective additions. The home shown
In course Of construction is owned by
Captain W. c. Webb and now stands
at the heaQ OF browning avenue, new
residence thoroughfare, which has since
become lined with attractive dwellings.
1t IS of the simple but striking archi-
tectural design and represents the more
modern style of homes that are fast
Identifying the city.
The lower view was taken from "A
point looking along Browning avenue,
showing the first home built and those
which followed, giving an idea of the
encouraging growth of the city through
these new subdivisions. Real estate
concerns are receiving the healthy co
operation Of progressive municipality.
The above views demonstrate what the
combination will do In six months time
during what is conceded to have been
dull period. A continuance of the
cooperation during an expected bright
fall viii mean much to the development
of the community

good showing Of building permits issued,

sued in permits during the preceding
week was much larger, it was due TO the

IS SHOWN
BY BANK CLEAR|NCS
Demand for Money Is Strong
and Is Being Promptly
Met.

The feature of the past week in local
financial circles took place In the form
of a notceably strong demand for mon
ey. This developed early in the week,
While the past seven days were by no
means brilliant In point of sensational
features. either in the financial or busl-
ness world, the demand for money, the
renssuring manner in which this de-
mand was met and the upward trend
of general investments, forecasted a
marked change for the better.
AS is the case all over the country,
the financial market is now depending
almost entirely upon the crops. In
Utah the outlook generally has never
been more promising, according to re-
ports from experts, which has already
proved highly beneficial in It's effect
upon the money market. With season
of agricultural prosperity in sight,
abundant money, favorable prospects
for mercantile and industrial activity
and a feeling of growing optimism
among business men, seem properly IN
order,
Bankers declare that the community.
like all others, has just passed through
period of eurtailment and caution, of
reaction from extravaganza. This spir-
it of caution, they assert, shows signs
of eliminating, and to that extent the
prospects favor a confident mere chan
disc buying movement, which. starting
with the consumer. cannot fail to spread
to all channels of manufacturing and
distribution, and In turn from trade to
finance. Such a condition can, In the
long run, hardly fail to be reflected in
higher prices for well selected securi-
ties.
Salt Lake bank clearings again show
substantial increase Deposits have
been strong, and banking men seem en-
couraged by the evidence that people
are concluding that they have been
spending too much money and that it
is now essential to live within their
means in order to restore the financial
world to healthy, progressive basis,
Yesterdays clearings amounted to
81 Jos, $4,000 as compared with $7S3,-
S67,09 for the same day last year. The
clearlngs for the week were $6,1l6,-
437.6l. as against S4.2lS, S,60375 for the
same week in 1910. Yesterdays clear
ings exceeded those Of Saturday one
week ago by S6SS2,4S. The week rs
clearings exceeded those of the preoed-
ing seven days by 1897 ,s23.94. In each
comparison, promising increases are
shown, which may be taken as an in.
dieation of the upward trend OF tho
financial market,

COAL GOES TO WINTER
RATE ON TUESDAY NEXT

On Tuesday next the price Of coal will
be advanced so cents to the winter rate
OF S6-75 per ton, This comes ns the re-
suit Of canceling the annual storage
rate on coal for the summer months.

the assertion that the amount of coal
stored has not been sufficient to justify
the continuation OF the rate for next year.

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS
Variety Of Combinations Can Be
Served With This Edible Fungus
as Chief ingredient.

A Philadelphia hostess noted for
her delicious dinners. and especially
for various combinations that have
mushrooms as the chief ingredient.
says that the reason none of her
guests Is ever Ill after a mushroom
supper is that she always has fresh
mushrooms. never the canned or
bottled sort, and always has them
cooked for ten minutes or SO before
adding the various tid-bits that go to
make up the delectable whole. Mush-
rooms require more cooking than
most persons think. and should be
thoroughly done before they are
served. no matter how much the i'm
patient ones may say. "oh. they are
cooked enough: they will not harm
me-" as every chafing dish cook has
heard them say at times. An Italian
dish which this hostess has discov-
cred consists OF oysters scalloped
with macaroni and served with a
mushroom sauce. Cheese is omitted
and paprika takes the place OF cay
enne TO make the flavor more deli-
cate. otherwise the oysters and maca-
roni alternate and are fecked with
butter. as in other ways OF scalloping
and the dish is one for the gods.
