Show THE BUSINESS STIR The Schemes Being Hatched by the Spring Sun WHERE WILL TJIE CHAMBER GO Mr Morris on the Sugar Inrtneiry In UIb Kcal Estate Transfers and liuilding Notes Tio warm spring sun of the past week has generated a hundred business schemes and there are enough evidences in signs this early in the season to show that 1SSO will be a great year in the material history of Salt Lake City Architects offices arc overflowing overflow-ing with work building firms are laying out their plans and already the welcome sound of the pick and shovel is heard at various locations on our streets The old Wells corner the scene of so many historic remembrances is almost level with the ground Workmen arc making an immense hole in the ramshackle row which has so long stood on the cornel of Commercial and First South Streets anti the fine building of the Utah Stove and Hardware company I will soon rise there the new building of the Desorft Woolen Mills is nearing completion I com-pletion Mnxcnu CLAWSON is the latest merchant to add his quota to the spring building boom He will immediately im-mediately commence excavation on the interior in-terior of the big Coop ClarkEldredgeand theatre block and will build a wholesale house 73x100 feet the building will have a west front on the alley running iu from First South past the Roberts JEllerbeck buttling and will be constructed specially to meet the wants of Mr Clawsons big trade On Which Street As the time approaches for the final deci s on upon a site for the chamber of commerce com-merce building new interest is aroused in the question of locality Second South street is still jubilant over the victory it gained in in the report of the committee but there is still a cloud of doubt in the minds of the most sanguine First South street is complacent in the elicf that unless it receives its dues from the chamber it can pull for itself The board of trade project sprung by Tnc Hint vrD does not suffer a whit with ago and in fact the more it is talked of the more favor it meets with THOMAS W JESNIXCii who was probably more enthusiastic than iiTiili else over the First South street site was seen by a HEUALD reporter yesterday yester-day full of information on the respective advantages aud disadvantage of the uptown up-town and downtown sites In the first place said Mr Jennings the Second boutli street lot is too far from business the building cant go any nearer business after it is once put there and business cant go auj nearer to itat least not for a number num-ber of years To begin at the corner the first ton rods was owned until very recently Vy a Mr Phipps a Pittsburg gentleman Is ho was represented in this city by James P Glass Mr lass told me that Phipps off of-f r > d to put up a good brick building on tht lot if he i Glass could guarantee him 4 per cent on the money invested Mr Glass canvassed the town and was obliged to replj to Mr Phipps that he could not insure him 4 per cent on the money That ser iod Phipps and he sold out to a Salt Lake real estate linn who are not likely to build there The next seven rods is owned 1s tie minor heirs of the Hoopcr estate j1t will not be of age for two and one Yislf ears and < annot build or sell in that time Then the next fire rods is owned by a Lilorado speculator and will not be built up The next five belongs ID te estate of James B GtUss So 1 on see the twentyfive vfi from the corner to the pro posixl site will undoubtedly remain in its present condition for years to come Then again rents are higher on First South thin Second South by nearly > u per runt anti First South is building up more rapidly than any street in the city The offer made for First South was STiOOO better than any other and I dont set how the chamber can gut around it nrxicY nixwooncT one of the subscribers to the First South street site said that this street had put in the best offer and under the circumstances no one interested in the street should do anything toward putting the building down below 1 would favor the board of trade scheme proposed by Tim HEKALII if First South street is not given its dues MH MCTXI could not b a yesterday by our reporter but he is quoted on good authority as getting get-ting in his augur in this wisi There will lie an electric road in running order along First South street from the military reservation reser-vation to the Jordan river inside of six months while t year later the jack rabbits will still be hauling the cars along Second South Other mrtioq soon were quite as confi < ion n the outcome Of First South but space 11 iu Lot permit further detailing ThC sugar Industry Mr Elias Morris hasbeen devoting considerable con-siderable time of late to the subject of making sugar in Utah Once he has been lavst and has just returned from a trip to ctaUfornia where ho investigated the subject sub-ject pretty thoroughly I am converted to one thing said Mr Morris which is that we can make our I sugar of both cane and beet You think it practicable than to make sugar in Utah f J certainly do The difficulty has been the question of refinng and in talking with Claus Spreckles he told me we would have to send our sugar to him to be refined as we could not do it hero However I visited the sugar factory of MrDyer of Aiverado Alameda county who uses lik tons of beets I 1ad which produces daily sbten tons of sugar ttnd found that he did his own retiu in in connec ion with the other work and j that he wu > porloty indtueudiit of Mr I Sprccklcs Thn if fie minurirturj of sugar were commenced hero you thlni wo could also do our own refining That is what I moan So far as canoes can-oes woe mid use that also only a slight change in tio knives being necessary I Therefor wo could handle both My I judgment however favors the beet for the i reason that the beet will be better for us T C i 11 m vtr i1n tnr n Inncrm cnncnn anti can I U be hld during a longer period for use The cano must be taken to the mill soon after cutting waIe the beet may be worked during dur-ing August Setember October and November Novem-ber As 11 ave already said we can work both The Pacific Coast Sugar company already al-ready refit red to in their prospectus state ttUt such a piint including reriningj cost rig SC03000 < the size they ar < figuring on here will produce from 4000 COO 000OCO pounds annually The cost of producing this sugar at Alvarado T 43 cents per pound and this price lays the article in the commis rioners warehouse If 4000000 pounds were produced in a year it would give at 5j cents per pound a profit of 20 per cent on the investment I ThcAlvarado works consume thirt five tons of coal a day which costs > 10 per ton i i there This coal can be laid down at the I works here for less than RJ50 per ton i VVo can tave the freight both ways I I Labor is cheaper here because rents and living are cheaper and the people have the i wisdom and opportunity to practice greater i economy If this industry said Air Morris I under such conditions can be made a financial success there it certainly should also be a success here AVe can raise cane and the only question is is the land free from I salt and salaratus on which w raise the sugar beet There is absolutely no question that we have these I I judgment is that it can be a success It was intended yesterday that a massE mass-E g ting was
