BUSINESS AND TRADE.

Progress has been made during the
week in the settlement of the labor
strikes. and the prospects are fair for
complete settlements of all before long
These strikes have retarded building
operations to some extent, but it is I'm
derstood that these operations will be
pushed with energy as soon as the labor
is available. An important announce.
ment in this line during the week was
that OF the Continental Oil Company,
which intends TO put up $4,000 ware
house on the west side.
Tho Commercial Club governors on
Friday elected Mr.. Will G. Farrell to
succeed Secretary J. E. Caine, who goes
to Oakland. The selection was unani-
nous, and Mr.. Farrell has great oppor-
tunities to do important service TO the
club and to the business public Of Salt
Lake.
The real estate situation is strong in
this city. Its central location, with out
a rival for five hundred miles to the
east, no rival this side Of the coast to
the west, and none either to the north
or south the region adjacent to it being
exceedingly rich in mines, agriculture,
and stock raising-all this combines to
make the future of Salt Lake as a
great metropolis absolutely certain. tt
has been good week. with many sales
and much activity.
The business OF the merchants dur
ing the week has considerably i'm
proved, and the opening of the summer
season is under unusually favorable
auspices for heavy sales, and for a
wider extent Of Salt Lakes business
than ever before.

The general commercial agencies re-
port that business continues large in
spite Of the tariff agitation. In nearly
all branches of trade and industry this
expansion of business is noticeable; but,
as explained. it is mostly to meet i'm
mediate needs, though these immediate
needs are very great. The exceedingly
bright crop prospects give confidence in
all lines of business and transportation
Such recession in trade as is noticeable
is chiefly the absence of new orders for
future delivery Mercantile and indus
trial conditions are strengthened by the
absence of large stocks. and the fnan-
cial situation is secure by reason of
the abundance Of money and the alb
sence Of excessive speculation.
The Boston wool market reports that
some new wool has appeared, and has
sold rather extensively at prices which
mean clean secured basis of about
fifty cents. The movement has not been
heavy, and there remains a considerable
difference of opinion between manufac-
turers and wool dealers as to values.
The stock market reports little busi-
ness being done, and in the wheat mar
ket prices are kept down by the prom
ise of tremendous yield; Kansas alone,
FOR example, indicating a yield of no.
100000 to l15,00o,0o0 bushels.

The telegraph reports tell US that Mr.
George w. Guthrie, newly appointed
ambassador to Japan, sat silent at o
banquet in New York where a japanese
orator denounced the recent legislation
Of California in the anti-alien land bill,
and referred TO the grave problem which
copfronts California in consequences of
that legislation; referred TO the evident
hostility in California against the Jap
anese as race question, and intimated
that the attitude of the American Gov
ernment and the American people was
unsatisfactory TO Japan; that the
changed phraseology of the California
law does not change the odiousness of
that legislation in the eyes of the Jap
anese; made open demand for equality
with the white race in the United
States, and expressed the opinion that
President Wilson twill not cease his
lsbors until an adjustment satisfactory

is to say, the japanese people demand
Of the United States that their desires
and their advantages shall be acceded
to by this country, and this while the
Japanese deny to Americans any land
holding rights in Japan. and while the
treaty with Japan is fully complied
with by the California legislation
Tho meaning of all this evidently Is
that Japan is determined to keep on
with her bluff, finding that we have ap-
parently a spineless administration
which attracts to itself spineless Off

FREAK SHARK
 IS CAPTURED

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The cap ure of Miami. Fla, of a myster- ious sea monster, the like of which has never been known before in any waters, has just been brought to the notice of the Smithsonian Institution. Like the most mysterious and hereto fore unknown monsters presented to the notice of the institution, the big fish was at once identified, It proves to be shark of the genus Rhinodon. It is interesting, however, that it is one of the only two specimens of this shark ever. caught on the east coast of this continent. The other was caught of the Florida coast in 1902.
 The shark was only thirty-eight feet long when killed, but it has been growing ever since and at last ac. counts had attained a length of for. ty-fye feet. It was mounted and put on exhibition.
 The main peculiarity of this shark is that it has terminal mouth that is. a mouth in the end of his head like any other fish instead of all um. dershot mouth like the rest of the shark family

UNDERGROUND DREDGE-
 FAIRBANKS DISTRICT

CHATANIKA, April 9.-The under ground dredge invented by N G. Cox and J. $. Roseuburg, of Chatanika, and being manufactured by the Alaska Dredge and Manufacturing Company was turned over for the first time yesterday. It has been constructed in life size and the first dredge is locat- ed on the surface of II below, creek claim, Cleary creek.
 There the inventors turned the ma chine over by hand for the first time and demonstrated it's work by plac- ing it against the snowdrifts. The ma chine worked well, and it's operation for the short time that the men worked it, was watched with considerable in, terest on the part of the hundred or so mining men who gathered to watch the exhibition.
 The machine will now be disman, tied and will be set up underground, after which a real trial run will be given to prove the usefulness of the machine
 The inventors claim that the ma chine will dig fifty feet of pay for q width of three feet and depth ol six feet in the space of ten hours.
 It is planned to hold a meeting oL the stockholders of the company in Fairbanks within a short time, at which plans for the development of the company will be talked over.

WHITEHORSE AFTER
 BASEBALL H0N0RS

The first lineup preparatory to or ganizing a baseball team for the seas on was Monday night of this week when a number of young men met at the hall for preliminary organization. The first step was the selection of a club manager, which position w. J, Graves was chosen to fill,
 Considerable discussion was in- dulged as to ways and means for f. uancing the organization, but nothing definite was determined upon. How ever, an order for supplies to the value of 800 was made up and has since been forwarded to an Outside dealer in baseball equipment.
 There is no question whatever but that a baseball team can be gotten to- gether here this season that will not only bring that cup home from Skag- way. where it has been since the year 1907. but that will be the champion segregation of the North. There are at least two ex-leaguers now employed at the shipyards, to say nothing of four or five at the mines. These with a number of star players who have been here for thirty-fve or forty years, will form an invincible team.
 
 The boys at the mine are already batting flies" and will be in fine con dition by the time the local grounds are "itten" for practice games.
 Manager Graves requests all local players, as we'll as fans. to be at the hall Sunday at o'clock. when ar rangements will be furthered for put ting the grounds in condition and oth- erwise preparing for recovering the cup which has been covered by Skag- way dust so many Whitehorse Star.
