People Find That They Cannot CT

idly Coming Into
Market.

The weather unquestOnably has a
strong influence upon buslGe 8, either for
Improvement or laXity, and the real estate
men are all wreathed in smiles these DAYS
Oh sunshine and springtime premonitions
The season holds promise for one of the
busiest springs fer many years, and, with.
out exception, dealers in St. Paul re ,lty
are Well satisfied with eXisti3g e c0nditi )ns,
and Of what is in store for the future
Prices have been steadily Increasing
during the last five or six months, ami
the increased spring demand will place
everything in the real estate line on a
more subs antial and legitimate basis.
Suil some remarkable bargains are TO
be had, but they are being eagerly sought
after and are rapidly disappearing from
the market.
Very little building was done last year,
and this spring it would not be surpris-
Ing II house famine resulted from the
conditions which have existed for several
Years, and are now respons Bile for the
great scarcity of houses. All the large
renting agencies controlling thous apds OF
houses report demand that they are
unable TO appease. and several of item
say they have nothing that is habitable
for rent. Work has been commenced Oh
the public baths located on Raspberry
island, and a large force of men are do
ing the carpenter work. Piling is beng
and approaches are fast assuming definite
shape.
The Omaha and Milwaukee railroads
have a large force of men at work build
ing a stone wall on the edge Of the river
bank, and six or seven # e. Iato the Water,
to prevent the tracks from being washed
away. The shore line that Is being pro-
tected in this way is about 800 feet and
gives employment TO a very large number
OF men.
An evidence of the influence that the ad-
vance in building material has upon those
contemplating heavy inpr VSmon is best
shown by the statement of William Can
by, printed IN last Sundays real estate
department of the e, in which he
said that plans had been drawn for
$3.50 coo apartment house on Summit ave-
nue. that had been abandoned on account
of the advanced cost of labor and mate
rial. Ordinarily, all things being equal,
the building permits should average ten
or fifteen per day, but they do not av-
erage over one of any consequence day
Then again, in most cases improvements
authorized by the building inspectors Of
flee are for alterations and repairs rather
than now buildings.
a prominent st. Paul man who bult
one Of the apartment houses put up with
in the last year, stated last week that he
could not duplicate the building for $1,000
more than he paid for IT. A st. Paul

STAR OF IMMIGRATION
Is Now Winging It's Way Westward
With Celebrity.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
took out six Northern Pacific coaches to
Chicago yesterdays-to be used in the i'm
nense westward movement of immigra,
ton on the 27th and 28th On Wednesday
of next week, the latter date, low colonist
fares authorized several weeks since will
be in operation. The bulk of the business
will go West from ST. Paul on this date.
The Milwaukee comes in for heavy
share in the movement OF the business
from Chicago to the cities. The coaches
taken out yesterday will be used in con-
nection with number of others taken
down early IN the week and the settlers
will be carried through from Chicago to
their destination without change. This
movement will consist largely of Dunk
ards, though the movement will have u.
sprinkling OF Eastern farmers seeking
new lands and new homes. 1t will be the
largest handled at any one tinie by any
Western road for nearly twenty years.
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-03-25
o. E. Dodge said:

.. E. Dodge said:
Immigration to Minnesota this
spring will, without question, be
the largest in very many years
Very few of the settlers are from Europe,
although nearly all are of foreign descent.
We locate dozen American families
from Illinois this week, and any one
dealing in farm lands finds very ready
market for this class of property. The
demand will within a short time exceed
the supply. 1t is surprising to note the
number of buyers that are paying all
cash I might say that fully one-half are
paying cash for their purchases"
President Candy, Of the Real Estate
exchange, reports a heavy demand for
small houses, with hardly supply to
fill the demand The very low price of
unimproved property will, Mr. Candy be-
lieves, offset that advanced cost of build
ing materials, and many will build during
the spring and summer. Residence prop
erty, both improved and unimproved, is
in great demand, particularly the former,
with an increasing demand for the latter.
G. B. Whitehorne said:
THE inclination among buyers Just
now-that is, those who are looking for
homes-is to buy improved property
houses already built. The supply how
ever is limited. and owners are taking
advantage of conditions by raising their
price. Buyers find great difficulty In find
ing something that suits them, and the
result is that many will be induced to
build Bargains in this class of property
are rapidly being picked up"
E. T. Salton said:
1.-THE demand still continues for cheap
homes and small farms. l am conffning
| my efforts mostly to this class of proper
ty and have handled considerable prop
erty since the first of the year A great
many people are in the market for this
| class of property"
]. [. Farley takes a very rosy view of
the situation and believes his predictions
for great renewal of activity In realty
are backed up by the present condition
of the market He said
"a great scarcity Of houses Is in view,
and despite the high figure of building
material / believe a great many people
will build this spring. We have a great
demand for improved property-that is,
medium-sized homes-at a comparatively
low figure, although prices are much
higher than they were some time ago.
The scarcity of houses is bound to bene-
fit unimproved property, and already we
have considerable inquiry for lots"
said
This sunshine will warm things up
and when people get out house-hunting
and find how scarce houses are they will
not be very anxious to move. We have
made number of unimportant deals dur
Ing the week and sold a number of acre
tracts very near the city that were pur-
chased purely for speculation. Several
years ago this class of property was ex-
ceedingly high; today 1t is the other ex-
treme, and reaction for the better is
sure to come within short time
A. Stolpestad said:
Rents will be advanced anywhere from
from 10 to 20 per cent. The demand for
improved property is very good and pick
ing up every day. Next month I believe
we Will do a very large business"

Suit for Damag ges.
In that internecine warfare-the silent
struggle between mankind and microbes
electricity has come to be a factor upon
which unconQuered bacilli must look with
awe. To the untutored layman, though he
is the recognized victim of both oppo-
ments, the strengthening of the alliance
long ago established between medicine
and electricity is an extension of science
with which he is not familiar. Were he
of such morbid temperament as 10 enjoy
delYing among the pages of current med
ical journals, he might eXtTicate from the
intricacies of therapeutical tcchnic ty
some material enlightenm mt in this di. &c
ton. Chicago medical men, says the Chi
cago Daily News, have during the last
few years found in the ga!vanic battery
many perplexing problems, and they have
also found cause to wonder to what ex-
tremes the development of electricity
in medicine may not lead in the next dec
ade.
TREATMENT TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.

raising a hue and cry over the lack of ed
ucational facilities for the advance OF
electro-therapeutics as the nomenclature
puts it, this necessity is now being sup
Piled The application of mechanical
treatment of diseases is now beng taught
in many schools; It. Is demonstrated in
clinics and practiced by surgical special
lists, while in the Offices of ninety-nine out
of every hundred physicians it is doubt
full If electrical apparatus of some 5 ,rt
or other cannot be found. In Chicago
chairs of instruction In this science have
been established in all the principal med
ical universities-Rush, the Physic ans
and Surgeons, Chicago Medical, Harvey,
Chicago Homeopathic, Bennett and the
National Medical college among othes.
Following close upon the heels of the
discovery of the X-ray and its important
application in surgery have come other
new departures in the theory and practice
of electrical usage for medical purposes.
Perhaps the most radical Is the sweeping
contention held by Chicago expert that
electricity is in itself an irresistible mi
crobe destroyer; that when the tissues of

PLAN FOR UNION DEPOT
PRINCIPAL FEATURE ESTABLISH
MENT OF INTERLOCkING
SWITCH DEVICES
MAY RUN TO $4,000
Tracks Into Depot Sheds May BE Re-
arranged to Accommodate All
the Lines Using the
Station.

1t is stated on excellent authority that
the plan of the union depot company, laid
out last year, contemplating important
changes in the union station yards will
be carried into effect this summer The
principal feature of the work the es.
tablishment of interlocking switch de-
vices on the terminal tracks
The matter was brought up for con-
sideration by the depot company last fall
and plans of the work prepared. Estl-
mates were made Of the approximate
cost of the changes, al a figure of $50, 900
The project was taken up several times
| and considered In detail, but the company
failed to take action.
feature of the present situation Of the
tracks entering and crossing the COM
pany's union station property which has
often been commented upon by railroad
men is that they afford an excellent
chance for accidents. Across the main
terminal tracks are numberless switch
lines connecting side tracks. These and
the tracks entering the station sheds at
present are equipped with the ordinary
type of switch stands. The Chicago, St
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha is the single
road having protection and this is
through block signal system which, as
far as it concerns the tracks into the
sheds, is said to be insufficient
For the sake OF securing better facili-
ties, the company prepared plans and es-
Inmates of q complete interlocking switch
plant controlling all the tracks located
upon the comparatively narrow right of
way extending from the sheds parallel to
| Third street and down into the yards
Down these tracks hundreds of passenger
and freight trains pass daily. During GER
tain hours Of the morning the rush of
trains into the station IS sufficient to al
most block the right of way. All the Chi
cago lines have through trains arriving
at about the same hour and in addition
to these at the same time there are con-
stantly arriving the locals from the West
ern and Southwestern lines.
The plan of the union depot company is
! to rearrange the tracks into the sheds to
some extent, provide all intersecting and
switching tracks with interlocking devices
and reconstruct a large portion of the
| lines Immediately east of the sheds. The
work will take several months to COM
plete if decided upon and the improve
ment will afford a chance of expanding
union business. In this connection 1t is
interesting to note that the Minneapolis
& st. Louis will enter the union station
at the termination of it's present lease
with the Northern Pacific In June. 1t Ia
stated that the company will begin the
work CT rearranging the tracks and plac-
Ing the new system about the first week

promises better than for years. People
are finding that they can't get houses to
rent and are rapidly coming into the mar
ket as buyers. Prices for homes have
been very low for some time, and are
still reasonable, but they won't last long,
as everything that is desirable IS being
picked up. Building material being so
high, many people have abandoned plans
to build and are looking around for an
