The old White house corner, occupied by the National Bank ofthe Republic, at the southwest corner ofMainand Second South streets, and one ofthe most valuable business properties in Salt Lake City, was ordered sold by Judge George G. Armstrong yesterday in a suit brought by James A. Murray of Butte, against his S. J. Hays and thoPhelan Fund, a corporation.

The suit was commenced more than a year ago by Mr. Murray, and has been stubborn iy fought throughoutby his who did not want a partition and saleof the property to be made. Mr. Murray is represented in Salt Lake by Attorney Harry J. Robinson, and was not personally present when the order of sale was made.

The property to besoldhas a age of forty-si- and feet on Main street by 115 feet on Second South street, and, according to the praisements given bywitnesses upon the hearing ofthe suit, is worth more than Three Are Owners. J. C. Lynch, former president of the National Bankofthe Republic, was appointed master ofsale under bond of $200,000, and agreed to serve outcompensation. Before Mr.

Lynch was acceptedby Mr. Robinson he was required to stato that he was no longer connected with the National Bankof the Republic, either as a stockholder or otherwise. Mr. Murray is the largest outside individual stockholder of the bank, and until recently was vicepresi dent of the institution, Mr. Murray has been the owner of a one-hal- undivided iuterest in the White house corner for about sixteen years, and the transfer records show that he paid $75,000 for his holdings.

The Phelan Fund is the owner of a interest which formerly longed to Patrick Phelanand was left in trust by him to the Catholic church for the benefit of the orphans. Stephen J. Hays owns the remaining interest. Partition Is Desirable. The petition for partition presented by Mr.

Murray set forth that the owners could not fullyenjoy their respective interests because of the manner of holding, and the contention of the defendants was that the property couldbe divided by. metes and bounds, andthe further claim was made that Mr. Murray had made a verbal ment some years ago not to partition the property until 1919, when thelease to theNational Bank of the Republic expired. Upon the case being called for trial the defendants abandoned both contentions and urged upon the court the sole question of terms of sale, insisting that the property should be offered to bidders upon the basis of 25 per cent cash, 25 per cent in one year and the balance in from, three to five vears. Attorney Robinaon, in behalf of Mr.

Murray, fought against these terms of sale, arguing that a cash payment of only 25 per cent would necessitate a first mortgage of 75 per cent remaining upon the property, which, he contended, was far greater than could be borrowed upon the property, and, moreover, would leave the in substantially the same position as they now are, as each would have an interest in the gage in the same proportion as they now hold the property, and that a partition under such conditions would not be effective. No Terms Arranged. W. .1. Halloran testified that 25 per cent cash down would be fair terms of sale, although he admitted that the holder of a mortgage representing 75 per cent of the purchase price would be unable to negotiate his security without a loss.

Charles Johnson ot the Houston company gave similar testimony for the defendants, while Fred W. Little of Little Little testified that 50 per cent cashand thebalance on mortgage would be i he more equitable method of selling. Mr. Little pointed out that the thirty-six-foo- frontage recentlybought by the Utah State National bank for $187,000, carried a mortgage of less than $60,000, the balance being paid in cash. The court ordered the sale without fixing an" terms of payment, and bidders have thirty days in which to present their offers.

LEVI EDGARYOUNG IS TO HEMEDITION Archaelogical Trip Will Be Made Into Southeastern Utah This Summer. WILL EXPLORE RUINS Interesting Discoveries Are Expected as a Result of the Researches. Under the auspices of the University of Utah and the Smithsonian Institute, Trofessor Levi Edgar Young, heal of the archaeological department of the state institution, will conduct an archaeological expedition intosoutheastern Utah during the coining summer. According to the present plans the expedition willleave here within the next ten days and will remain in the aboutsix weeks.

The party will be composed chiefly of scientists who arc experts in their respective lines. Among those who expect to take part in tho expedition under the leadership of Professor Young, arc: Dr. C. Twiss, professor of botanv at the University of Utah; Professor K. W.

Pchr-son- professor ot mathematics; Dr. Fred J. Pack, professor of geology, and possibly Dr. Milton Miller, professor of zoofogv, all of the state institution; Dr. C.

Boyle ofthe University of Wyoming; Avard Fairbanks, Utah's boysculptor, and Hermon Wells, editor of the University of Utah Chronicle. To Explore Ruins. The chief investigations will be carried on in the vicinity of the Colorado and San Juan rivers in San Juan county. Guides will be procured in the respective districts where the work is carried on. Not onlywill the ruins ot the habitations of the cliff dwellers bo examined, but the natural formations, the flora and fauna of the districts will be carefully and thoroughly studied.

Little excavation work will be doue, the principal object of the expedition being a reconnoissance survey of prehistoric Utah' in its environment and the preservation of the features as they are found. Professor Young hopes, through the mediumof the expeditions, to create a sentiment among tho residents of the state for the preservation ofthe wonderful natural and prehistoric features in their natural state. He gives great credit to Professor Byron Cummmgs and others who have labored in the field for the excellent results they have obtained. The founding and upbuild- ing of the museum of the University he considers one of the great steps toward acquainting the present generation with prehistoric Utah, and hopes some day to see all the museums confined under one roof at of the city the university. Discusses the Trip.

In discussing the'expedition last night Professor Youud said: The object of the University of Utah in sending out an expedition is to preserve the ruins of the inhabitants of prehistoric Utah. For many years the work has been on very successfully by Don Mauire, Dr. Henry Montgomery andProfessor Byron Cunimings, who worked incessantly for the proper care and the protection of the homes of the Cliff Dwellers. The preserving of the remains ot these habitations is a means to an end, and the end in view is to obtain a knowledge of the type ure of the ancient people of Utah and what their general home and tribal life were. It is a study that requires seriousness in every particular and careful and painstaking work.

Then by a proper and careful study of the Indians of today we hope to obtain much information as to the beliefs, manners and customs of their forefathers. The expedition will go for the express purpose of studying the ancient dwellings and their contents in the environment in which they are found. The inhabitants of the cliffs were forced to respond to their environnient. They had a vigorous outward existence and they had a strange mental and spiritual life a result of their beliefs and their work with nature. Discoveries in View.

Within these ancient homes the members of the expedition will study something of the of the ancient inhabitants, their methods of obtaining food, the cultivation of the soil and the domestication of animals. We will study their weapons by finding out what they had to contend with in nature and wild animals which they killed for food and protection. In many places pictorial rock sculptures arc found indicating something of their cultural development. The home and social life must be the end in view, for from these will be obtained much information concerning the religious beliefs. From the folk lore and songs ofthe Indians of today much may be discovered that will indicate the idealism ofthe people of atres.

"All Tcsults obtained through the investigations and explorations will be cnrefullv tabulated and reports will be made to the Univer-dt- of Utah and Ihe Smithsonian Institution.
