TO DUSTY DEATH.
Horrible Prairie Fires Covering 200 Square

0AleB.
GLENDALE, n. D.. October IN.
L. Sherman just arrived here from Fort
Yates brings the news of an immense
prairie fire west of the Missouri river.
His story is that scope of country, 300
miles long and 200 miles wide has been
burned over, destroying farmhouses,
stnck ranches, many herds OF horses
and cattle and numerous quantities of
hav. The fire is said to have been
started by a bone picker, who found
his calling very unremunerative owing
10 the heavy growth of grass and other
vegetation this season. He has since
fled. The whole region Of more than
200 miles square is described as a place
of death and desolation. Many persons
are believed 10 have perished in the
flames, though nothing definite on that
score is vet aScertainable.

HOUSES FOR RENT.
AN UNUSUALLY EARLY DEMAND FOR
THEM THIS YEAR.
Real Estate Men Take IL as a Promise of
Booming Business in the Fall-No
Letting Down In Kents-Prediction
of General Real Estate Activity.

feature of the real estate business lust
now, which gives great encouragement to
dealers and agents, is the inquiry for houses
for rental This is very unusual at this time
OF year, as ordinarily there is no demand
whatever from prospective renters until the
latter part Of August or September. It indi-
Gates that livelier fall business in this par
ticular branch may be looked for than hereto
FORE And on looking into the matter it is
seen that there is cause for this. The new
Congress which meets on the first of Decem-
ber will contain more new members, who have
never been in Washington before, than any
Congress of recent years. OF late it has been
the tendency more and more every year for
members of Congress coming here to buy or
rent houses and set up housekeeping, instead
OF taking cramped quarters in hotels or board
ing-houses. The cost of keeping house in good
but modest style is no greater, and frequently
not as great, as the cost of living in couple
OF rooms in hotel. Every one who can likes
to have house of his own, and as the coming
session is likely to extend well into the
summer of 1892 this will be an additional
argument with members of Congress in favor
of setting up housekeeping when they come
here.
Said Mr. f. Benjamin, the real estate dealer:
IL have been surprised at the inquiries already
heard for houses for rent. We never expect
to do anything in this line at this time of
year, and consequently we take it as an indi-
cation that things will be unusually lively in
the fall. All the signs point that way. There
is great many new people coming to Wash
ington to live, and the number will be still
larger in the fall. 1t is going to be good
season for real estate business. That seems to
be the general feeling among all the dealers 1
have talked with Rents are well maintained,
as well as real estate prices. There is no let
ting down.
Other agents spoken to ON the subject of
inquiries for houses for rent told similar
story OF an unusually early demand.

IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE
Why Isn't the Sidewalk Improved in
Some WAY?

Why Isn't the Sidewalk Improved in
Some Way?
"Why don't you call attention to the miser-
able condition Of the sidewalk in front OF the
White House on the Avenue p'' asked real
estate man, who takes frequent pedestrian ex-
ercise in that part of the city, of HERALD
reporter. SIT is one of the worst pieces of
Sidewalk in town, and its bad condition is all
the more noticeable because on each side. in
front OF the Treasury and the State, War and
Navy Department, the tagging is perfectly
smooth and even. In front of the White House
many of the flags are split, and others are
much below the general level, so that at every
step, unless you look sharp, you are in danger
OF stubbing your toes or pulling the sole off
your shoes. Then when it rains the water
forms in pools here and there where there are
depressions, and pedestrians have to pick their
way very carefully to keep from getting their
feet wet. l don't know whose business it is
to put this sidewalk in good shape, but and
thousands of other people who have to travel
over 1t daily, would be very grateful if the
proper official would have it repaired. All the
present tagging should be taken up and thrown
away, and pavement put down like that in
front of the Treasury and State, War and Navy
Department building"

ant thoroughfare. Starting northward it is
found that the Bon Marche is erecting hand
some addition to their establishment, which
will be occupied by the time of the autumn
opening and which will cost the firm at least
$4,000. 1t is understood that the property is
owned by Mr.. Watts and that the leasehold
stands at 81, 400 per annum.
Next door, Strasberger & Bro. of the
"Family Shoe Store" are erecting somewhat
similar building, and it is understood that the
lease will also be 81, 400 per annum.
Further up the street is the big building
lately erected and occupied by Mr.. John Rud-
den, whose specially is selling furniture and
SO on, on the instalment plan, and from the
present indications Of his prosperity he has
made good thing of it.
Next door ex-Mayor Emery is erecting
under his own superintendent and Bvday,s-
work similar building with slight changes
in the frontage. He says that he has not
rented out the building yet, but that when
completed it will cost him about SaOSOO.
Going up the street, between H and L, we
come upon the two splendid buildings of b.
Behrend d Co., which will be used by the
firm for general jobbing, notions, fancy arti-
cles and so on. The erection Of these build
ings will COST doubtless, in the neighborhood
of $4,000.

WASHINGTON AND THE FAIR.
Why One Real Estate Dealer is Glad it
Didn't Come Here,

why One Real Estate Dealer IL Glad it
Didn't Come Here.
"Do you know" said q shrewd real estate
dealer to HERALD reporter, ''when / think
it all over Pm not sorry that Washington
failed to get the Worlds Fair? If it had been
held here it would have caused a big boom,
undoubtedly. But this boom could not have
been permanent, and when the Fair was over
the reaction would do the town generally
damage enough to more than counterbalance
the good done by the boom. Thousands of
new dwellings would have been erected to
accommodate the crowds expected during the
exposition, but these buildings would have
been of a fimsy character, built by specula-
tors who would expect to make enough out of
them in three or four months to return hand
some profit on their cost. When the Fair
was over the dwellings would be left
idle and they would thus have a decidedly
bearish effect on the general scale
of rents througout the city. Besides
this it is not likely that buildings put
up in hurry for merely temporary and spec
ulative purposes would be In keeping with
the generally handsome and fairly substan-
tial style OF architecture whic. prevails in the
city. In this way, you see, Washington's
reputation would have suffered. Another
consideration is that, If the Worlds Fair had
come here it would have developed the rage
for speculation to such an extent that it
would have taken years to get our business
back to the safe, conservative basis on which
it is now conducted. This is shown by what
occurred in the northeastern section year
ago last spring, when some people thought
the Exposition might come here. AT that
time, with very little encouragement, there
was perfect rage for speculation in property
about Lincoln Park. Pieces of property
bought on options would frequently change
hands half dozen times before a deal was
made out and they settled into the possession
of bona tide purchaser. This was not good
state Of affairs, and it shows how things
would have gone if the Exposition had come
here. For my part l am just as well satisfied
that we did not get the Fair. Washington is
enjoying rapid but entirely substantial and
healthy growth, and it would be too bad to
interrupt it''

LOTS OF NEW BUILDINGS.
Another Big Rush for Permits During
the Past Week.


The building boom in the city is increasing
instead OF dying out. Although there are
more new buildings going up here than was
probably the case at any one time previously,
the number will be still greater in short
time, judging by the building permits taken
out the past week. There was a big Jump
from the number issued the previous week,
and the aggregate was larger than for any
week in long time. Permits were taken out
Tor forty-two separate contracts, which pro
vide for the erection of eighty-five new build
ings. Some of these are not in the CITY
proper, but that does not detract from the
general effect. 1t is remarkable showing
for this time of year. The total cost of
the proposed buildings given in the
permits is $4,000, and the actual
expenditures will be much more than this.
The great activity in the building trades
which has marked the spring and summer
seasons will be continued into the fall and
winter, making the outlook very cheerful for
contractors and artisans.

taken out 35 will be erected in the northwest

Grant, connecting the city with Arlington,
took form and shape on paper. The bridge
proposed was to be a handsome structure of
granite and iron. 1t was to be 1850 feet long,
with two large towers near the centre connect
ing the drawbrdge, the bascule span being 100
feet. The main arch spans were to be $40
feet, and the small spans l20 feet each. So
you can see that there was not likely to be
