The Market Working Up to the Normal
Fall Activity.
BRISK DEMAND FOR HOUSES FOR THE WINTER.
Building Operations Keep Up the Mark-Buiding Permits
and Real Estate Transfers.

The real estate market is now getting into
its accustomed fall shape. There has been in
the last few days steady increase in the in
quiries for property, city and suburban, for
both investment and speculative purposes.
Persons who have been holding back for set
tied weather before making any movement in
contemplated purchases Of real estate, have
been encouraged by the fairly seasonable
weather to set about the business in earnest,
and as result the offices of the dealers along
street and on the adjacent streets have
taken on a more business-like air. Out-of
town people who will be brought here by
business or pleasure the coming winter also
contribute to the activity in their search for
desirable residences for rent. Inquirers of
the latter class are very numerous. This in
dicates that Washington will entertain an
unusual number Of strangers the coming sea
son: and, no doubt, as in the past, many of
those will become smitten with the charms of
the city and the pleasures and advantages of
Washington life, and remain as a permsnent
addition to the population.
An inspection of the real estate transfers
for the past week shows that some sales of
considerable magnitude have been made,
while the total number OF transfers, small
and large, is quite satisfactory.
Building operations were as active as they
have been for several weeks past and all in
dications point toward q continuance until
frost prevents. A peculiar feature of the per-
mits issued during the week was the fact that
the amounts in two sections were the same,
$23,900, and in another but 500 less
than this sum. During the week there were
issued twenty permits covering the erection
of forty-two buildings aggregating in cost
100000. OF the permits issued were for
buildings to be erected in the northwest sec
ton, to cost $17,5OO 13 in the southwest Sec
ton, to cost $4,000; 9 in the northeast sec
tion, to cost s2S. $780, in the southeast section,
to cost 1880, and in the county, to cost
$4,000.

The Autocratic Russian Editor.

Review Of Reviews
The Russian editor seems to conduct his
business in high-handed and tyrannous way.
Sometimes he purchases a story from an au-
thor, publishes half Of it. perhaps, then, tax
ing offense at the speech, manner, conduct,
or opinions Of his contributor, he abruptly
breaks off the narrative and declines to go
further. Even Tolstoi has been treated in
this cavalier fashion. Two-thirds of his novel,
Gamma Karenina," came out as serial in
Russian journal and the remaining third had
to be published In pamphlet form because the
autocratic editor had been offended by Toll
stoi's view on the Servian question. The
work of another prominent author was do
clined by the editors of the several reviews,
"because his comparisons and illustrations
are occasionally taken from the Bible, and
give one the impression that he is firm be-
lever in that book" The Russian editor, it
is clear, has mind of his own, and will make
even popular authors bend to him.

Mr.. G. ID. Durham says that the
cheapest reservoir that man can
build on his land for retaining
water for irrigation purposes is u
tunnel run into a hill. An open
reservoir in canon or other suit
able place wall lose one. third
of its water during the summer
months from evaporation, while in
tunnel there is no loss. A small
spring will supply tunnel with
sufficient water for many purposes.
Ie has illustrated this in praoti-
cal 'Npanner. On his own land at
MesiIf;.. Valley he ran tunnel 35
feet lonssSnto hill, in so dcing
tapping sfSng; this tunnel he
damned up, leMgng space 35
feet long and the tize of the tun-
mel, which is about 5 to 6 feet, t, be
filled with water. The water he
carried to his house in pipes and
we observed that 1t supplied his
dwelling, another near by, his
barn and drying house for
raislns, as well as irrigated quite
space devoted to flowers for
ga:den. He says that the tunnel
is the cheapest and best foim,
and that for each dollar expended
one can obtain a space equal to
25 cubic feet.

was a case Of murder or of sudden death
from natural causes II is stated that
while under the influence Of intexicants
Staples and the Alexicans got into a dis
pute which ended by the former seizing
a pitchfork and attacking the latter, one
OF whom grabbed a grubing hoe and
struck Staples on the head, killing him
instantly. On the other hand it was
shown by an examination of the corpse
that no bones were broken and no bruise

a slight bruise below the eye such as
could easily have been made by slight

great difficulty now experienced in
an emergency like the present, is
that the entire range country Is
practically stocked and much of it
overstocked. There are no new
ranges to move stock onto from the
drouth-atilicted sections as there
were few years ago. There is no
relief except to ship to market or to

There comes report from
Kansas City that the people down
there are going Wild over the dis
covery Of gold bearing ores on the
Missouri bottoms. One statement
says the stratum containing the
ore is 100 feet deep and extends all
over the bottoms in that city and
across the river. All of the SAM
pies taken out as assayed by Philip
Decker of Ouray, Colorado, show
from Sl2S to $l35 a ton" We
are qaite patiently awaiting fur
ther developments in this case.
Such discoveries in other states
east of the Missouri have been fre-
quent the past few years, but they
don't appear to'develop.
