would glance occasionally and sigh.
he did not speak to any one, but
seemed to have q great weight on his

approached him and inquired. Had

Yes, replied the old man. Seems

went down to the fair to run my boss.
Well. we got up $35 bet an every

Here he stopped and looked at the
cardboard and sighed.
Jim was q mighty good rider and
thought he could easy get thar. Well,

The causes which have influenced the real
estate market for the past few weeks are not
easily explained. But few dealers will deny
that there has not been the activity during
this time that there was last year, but at tn G
same time it is fact that the value of prop
erty as shown by the sales that are made is
still on the increase. Prices are more than
maintained. The reasons for this inactivity,
as given by various real estate dealers, have
been recited in this column from time to time
AT present the nearness of the holidays is
probably the most accurate reason for the
dullness. Business men are placing their
money in stock, the return from which will
not be felt in the real estate market until the
beginning of the new year.

OF the Oldest and most popular of the literary
organizations of the city. 1t dates back some
twelve or more years, when it began its career
with a membership of eight persons who de-
sired to spend at least one evening week in
an honest endeavor to engage in some rational
amusement; and, as everybody either enjoys
travelling or hearing about travels, they
adopted the title Gravel Club" The club
was born In the Strathmore Arms and has
always had its home there, and it now num-

has an original flavor about it, There is a
guide who presides at all public and private
meetings, an assistant guide and courier
whose Offices correspond to that of vice presi-

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Company Which Supplies Fine Mortar
Ready Mixed to Builders

A Company Which Supplies Fine Mortar
Ready Mixed to Builders.
local industry which should command the
interest of all the builders and contractors In
the city is that of the Washington Mortar
Company. The aim of this organization is
to supply prepared mortar, of the highest
grade and strongest adhesive powers, for
building purposes at a cost below that which
the builders themselves can prepare it, at the
same time sparing them the labor, incon-
venience and dirt incident to its preparation.
Though this company has been in operation
only since the first of October, it has already
been called upon to fill several large orders,
and in each instance the superior quality OF
the mortar and the success of the method have
been highly commended.
The enterprise Is entirely local one, as the
materials are purchased here, and the com
pany is composed of some of the best known
business men in this city. The capital stock
Is $4,000. The president of the company is
Frank SchWarz, the secretary and treasurer,
X. T. Hieston, while among the directors are
Thomas Summervile, Frank Schwarz Charles
Childs, Edward Landvoigt, Samuel Ross,
Jacob Jones, Jacob Childs, and j. T. Hieston
The Office is located at the southeast corner of
Louisiana avenue and Sixth street northwest,
and can be reached by telephone call So The
factory is situated at the corner of South
Capitol and streets.
A HERALD reporter was kindly shown the
operation OF the manufacture of this mortar
yesterday. The building is a substantial brick
one, and an additional structure is now being
erected to accommodate the increasing trade.
The sand, which is the very best that can be
obtained, is carried by boat to the wharf at
the factory. There by means of an endless
belt with numerous scoops attached it is car
rled into the second story of the factory. The
lime, which is bought by the carload, is trans
ported from the car-tracks near by, and by
means of mechanical apparatus is Stacked in
the building. The lime then passes into
large iron mixer, where it is mixed with the
sand and water by machinery, thus securing
eVenness of quality. The mortar is then
stored before it is delivered so that the water
may run off. An examination of the mortar
proved it to be OF quality not to be sur
passed.
The company will deliver this mortar on the
spot where 1t is to be used in quantities that
will provide for days work, and thus the
disagreeable pile of mortar which constantly
stands before buildings under construction
is avoided.
The advantage of this project to a builder
can readily be seen. In the first place the dis
agreeable feature of merchandising in the
streets and avenues Is avoided. There is no
inconvenience, while labor time, and expense
are saved at the same time.
