Thomas G.. Hensey said of the real cs-
tate outlook yesterday to reporter for
The Times:
There is already a considerable i'm
proyement in the situation. There Is
much more inquiry, and sales are pick
ing up. There are very few vacant hous-
es. Better than that, however, there is
to be an increase in building in the next
few months that will be very gratifying.
The cheapness of money will force peo-
pie to build and to buy real estate, in
order to live on their incomes and keep
their surplus engaged. We will build
a large number of houses in the near
future Perhaps sixty or more
Mr. Harry Reed, of Willard & Reed,
said:
Money is drug on the market. Cap
italists cannot get more than and 6
per cent for it. This conditions of things
will result in good real estate and build
ing markets in the spring. Already there
is considerable improvement"
Horatio N. Taplin said: Anyone who
Is interested can see for himself in a
drive over the city that there are very
few vacant houses. The population is
increasing.
J. B. Winner said:
There can be no doubt that there *
not only prospective Improvement in
business, but an actual increase in ac;iv-
ity.'

No Session

Efforts are being made to avoid
an extra session of the Legislature by
raising a popular subscription large
enough to equip and forward South
Dakota's quota of militia and vol
unteers. That is the best plan if it
can be done Immediately. South
Dakota wants to do her share in this
little unpleasantness, although it
would be taking great chances to get
that Legislature together again. The
governor and the people are not to
be seriously blamed for trying to
avoid it.

Gen. Hugh j. Campbell, of Yank-

was one OF the most prominent men
in old territorial days, having been
q member of the old famous Louisi-
ana returning board which elected
Hayes president. He was L. S.
district attorney for Dakota. He
joined the populists, and came very
close to being electen United States
senator by the legislature that elect
Kyle. Afterwards he returned to the
republican party, stating as his rea-
son that the populist party could
never be a national party, and it's
best issues would be taken up by the
republican party.

Three amendments to the state
constitution will be voted upon next
fall. One is whether women shall
vote; the second is upon the initia-

that legislative enactments shall be
submitted to vote OF the people.
The third is a liquor law giving
the state control of all liquor sold.
1t is very doubtful if either amend
ment will meet with approval.
