Built Residence Property Indicated, The approaching season will probably see a general overhauling of old houses in eli- gible localities, which have been drugs on the market for the past four or five years, because of the absence of the comforts and conveniences which are now.demanded by. all houseseekers who wish to either pur- chase or rent. There has be¥if''a woeful lack of foresight on the part of the owners of this sort of property, and jindications are that they are beginning: tovrealize it themselves, and that they wiil-join in the march of improvement simply-with the idea of self defense, if for no-idther reason. There are hundreds of houses»aying idle and tenantless in some of thé miost acces- sible portions of the city; hobses af substan- tial construction, with thicleiwalis and ex- cellent carpentering, which:'haye none of the modern improvements. © «i The gas fixtures “are old ‘and:inartistic: the plumbing is ancient and inadequate, with broken sinks and uncomfgytable bath rooms, while their cellars have dirt floors, which’ retain dampness and make living above them dangerous to the he#Ith of any occupants who might rent'the prevaises. It would fequite but a few handred dollars’ expenditure to remedy such defects in houses of this description ayd make them remunerative again, where If is now im- possible to secure tenants, no matter what price is set upon them. They could be readily, and, when results tHat Would ensue are considered, inexpensively equipped with concrete floors in the cellars, new gas fix- tures, hygienic plumbing, tiled bath rooms and electric gas fixtures and call belis, such as even the most moderate priced of the recently built dwellings on the outskirts of the city are provided with, while a few cabinet mantels scattered through the liv- ing rooms would add still more to their attractiveness to houseseekers and secure eligible tenants, who are now forced to look fer houses in remote localities, simply because interior property has been neglect- ed. stroll through the streets in the older residential sections of ihe city will discover “For Rent” signs on scores of houses of very good outward appearance, the effect of which is lost as soon as an examination of the interior is made and the ge conditions above described are displayed. Builders and contractors report inquirles frem owners of such property as to the cost of mo ing along the linéé stated, and n.any estimates for such work are being prepared. — PRODUCE Prices Prevailing Today for Butter, Exus, Vexetables, Fruit and Meat.

Closing xt Night Soctety*s Anniversary. “ast night's clesing exercises of the Pythian anniversary at Odd Fellows’ Hall were successful in every particular. The hall was threnged, and hundreds were un- atle to obtain admissien. Fi ‘The hall was prettily deccrated with flags and the colors of different companies of the Uniform Rank. J. H. Cathell of Capital Ledge, No. 24, was master of ceremonies, and tae speakers were introduced by J. B. Conner. Music furnished by the splen- did band of Balt!more Council, No. 1, which came over on a visit, and by Prof. David’s erchestra. Seated on the stage were Su- preme Chancellor Philip E. Colgrove, Su- preme Outer Guard John W. Thompson, Supreme Representatives J. B. Conner and L. Goodhart, Grand Vice Grand Chancellor Keeper of the Records Grand Master of the Merry of arcellor Manguin, Grand Crupper, nd Seals Grand Chancellor Mangum. phreys, Lieut. Col. I«muel Fugitt, Grand Lecturer Mills, Grand Guard Laubach, Grand Outer Guard Osborn, Past Grand Chancellor J. H. Frank, committee of fort chairman of the -five on building a tem- ple, and Reoresentative J. E. Watson of Indiana, a me of the Supreme Lodge. Supreme Chancellor Colgrove and Repre- sentative Watson were the speakers of the evening, each pertraying the purposes of the order in which they stand so high. Mr. Cclgrove’s aidress created great enthusi- asm. He touched upon the fact that the Knights of Pythias is the only civic or- genization in the country which was ever ircorpcrated by Congress. He declared that the crder was so intensely American that he had refused to allow lodges to be organized in foreign countries, from many of which he had received application. The order, Fe said, should exist only where the stars and stripes floated. He stated that the order is to be organized in Alaska in a fcw months. Representative Watson eculogized Pyth- lanism, which, he asserted, taught “the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.” ‘The remainder of the program consisted of vocal and instrumental music and fancy dencing by children of the school of Miss Marion Proctor. The dancing was a fea- ture of the evenirg. Thos. L. Jones, A. H. Williams and Miss Procior rendered solos. A character delineation in song by A. M. Forrester caught the audience. Mr. For- rester made a great hit. A song and dance by Miss Belle Sheltcn was much appre- ciated, and a fancy dance by little Drossie Murray was heartily applauded. The Heil- big brothers played a piano duet, and a piano and violin trio was rendered by Profs. Scholz, Isman and Meyer-Tegg. —— Brigham Young in Statuary Hall. In the Utah hovee of representatives Wednesday a communication from Senator Frank J. Cannon was read, supplenienzed by a letter from Gov. Wells, asking the legislature to take advantage of the law granting the privilege to every state in the Union to place in the Hall of Statuary at the United States Capitol the statues of two of their hcnored deceased. It was suggested that the Utah legislature take immediate advantage of this privilege and place in position the statue of Brigham Young.
