There is only one thing requisite here lit this time to make tho coming glimmer a season of the business character char-acter in building enterprises, both of homes ami business institutions, lint that one condition is absolutely essential. essen-tial. It is more cheap money. How. ever gratifying it might bo if the contrary con-trary admission were true, it must be confessed that the money stringency is not yet over, and, while the tension is not so severe as it was sixty days ago. there is still an under supply which can be secured on such equitable terms an to justify its employment in the busi- btiilding is modest yet very pretty, and looks something like an open pavilion, and when it is thrown jopen to the pub-lie, pub-lie, it will be a very delightful novelty. Other plans which are under consideration consid-eration und which will most certainly bo added, are new dressing rooms and a pavilion for dancing which is intended to eclipse, anything of a similar character charac-ter on the Pacific slope; but the exact size and construction of these improvements improve-ments have not been fully decided on.

There is lots of stono being gotten' out at the present time by this company com-pany from their quarries in Parley's canyon, and early next week it is intended in-tended to employ more men, increasing increas-ing their working force to fifteen. The first shipment of the season will be made tomorrow; which will aggregate six car loads, all of it being destined fur new houses that are either building or to be built in Chamberlain's addition. uess of building. There is abundant grounds for making these assertions, which are easily susceptible of proof.and it is ouly necessary to make the rounds of the architects' offices to clinch the statements. There are a great many ownen of property here who feel desirous de-sirous of making batter improvements in their holdings; but i when they attempt at-tempt to raise tho dollars necessary to complete tho schemes which they contemplate, con-template, they lind that the rate of interest in-terest is almost too high to justify them in doing so; and for these reasons architects ar-chitects have many plaus in a condition of partial development, which they are holding until they are instructed by their customers to finish them up. When the tightening of the money market manifested itself all over the country last fall, many of the loan and trust companies either ceased loaning money, or they so advanced the rates of interest as to make them absolutely prohibitory for their engagement iu business channels. chan-nels. There have been some evidences for tho past month that this unfortunate situation was near its demise, but they have cnly been premonitions of things hoped for but not actually experienced. Changes of conditions of finance sometimes some-times take place with incalculable rapidity rapid-ity and the money sack which today is sewed with double thread, may tomorrow tomor-row be thrown wide open, and should this most happy transposition take place, the building enterprises the coming com-ing summer will much exceed in volume vol-ume those of last, although it is not all likely that any attempts of such magnitude magni-tude as the Ontario, Knutsford and some other extremely large blocks will be inaugurated. Waiting- for Good Weather. It is rather a peculiar thing, the effect that climatic changes have on people's spirits. When the sky smiles purse strings are loosened aud they blow themselves in; they want to do business and think a day spent without the employment em-ployment of their money in some way as a day lost; but when the heavens shed tears and the streets are in sublime condition con-dition for a gondola enterprise and the inception of a scheme to raise catfish of such a species as to be able to weather a dry season without irrigation, then i enterprise hangs on to its simoleas like an angel to a cloud. T. II. Oliver, who built the Harris block and who also has the coutract for the brick work on the Ontario, called attention to this today. Yesterday afternoon he said he had several sev-eral conversations with those who were intending to build, aud they felt as if they wanted to go to work at it almost immediately, but this morning when the skies lowered and the outlook for another storm was almost a two to one bet, he approached them, thinking that he hail nothing to do but have the contract drawn up and signed In this he was counting without including the party of the lirst part who felt undecided.' undeci-ded.' Money was tight aud in all events he would do nothing until the weather ohanged and spring had come to stay." Mr. Oliver said that with ten days good weather the town would be a veritable J bee hive of industry, and a thousand I men now idle would find employment aud would make good times by the money which they earned getting into channels of trade. Correspondence which he had in the past few days indicated in-dicated that prospects were brighter here than in any part of the east aud there was no reason for people to be discouraged over the outlook. California nnd I'tah. In a conversation had by the reporter today with C. E. Wantland, who has recently returned from an excursion to the laud of the oleander and orange blossoms in Southern California, it was learned that everybody in that part of the world was waiting with the most intense interest and desire for tho news that work on the Deep creek road had certainly commenced, and that its ultimate ulti-mate destination would be the Pacific coast somewhere in the vicinity of Los Angeles or San Diego. They are not actuated by wholly selfish sel-fish interests in this desire although they see in it great benefits to themselves hut they do believe the good results which they hope to ,-oeure iu getting a I'tah market for their fruit products, aud direct railroad connection connec-tion with the east instead of their present pres-ent "around the horn1' lino via Sacramento, would be more than reciprocated. All of the coal now used in Southern California comes either from Australia or Puget Sound and it is of a very inferior quality qual-ity but of a vast superior price. With the opening of a new line of road to this city, they would be enabled to secure coal fifty per cent cheaper and better in quality than the commodity they are now issuing. The commercial bodies of those localities are fully alive to the advantages of the road, but they have so far, been unable to formulaic a plan which would materially assist from their end of the string in its consummation. con-summation.

It purposes being in it most positively. pos-itively. A visit to the office of Carroll & Kern elicited the intelligence intelli-gence of the character of some of the improvements already decided on, to which many additions will be made as lime progresses. The most notable work will be the plunge bath, which will be 150x400 feet in size, built in the stylo of Queen Anne, and will cost $70,000. Into this plunge tho water from the lake will be pumped in such quantities as to preservo its freshness aud cleanliness. The design of the |
