The outlook for the building trades
this spring Is not Respondent with the
promise Of extensive operations. Fewer
buildings than usual at this time Of
year are being contracted for. and the
conditions in architects Offices might be
termed dun, considering that the season
is their harvest. There is much build
Ing talk. with the drawing Of plans and
specifications, and the reception Of bids
but in many cases the contemplated
structures rest on paper. owing to the
increased cost of building this year,
caused by the advances in all lines q
building material.
The game is young yet and as spring
opens up there are bound to be many
more contracts let, but the increased
cost Of building at present seema a
stumbling block. Lumber has advanced
Is per cent, and also up the line have
gone brick, nails, tin and paints. An
architect yesterday instanced house
that two years ago was estimated TO
cost $500. It's erection then was de-
ferred and when the same plans were
submitted 10 contractors week ago,
the lowest figure received was $4,000.
The average advance was said to be 20
per cent
All the building trades are active, but
their work is confined chiefly to the
completion Of last years contracts. OF
the new jobs, the three largest are the
erection OF the Episcopal residence and
the ChIldren's home, on Thirteenth
street, and the annex to Stone &
Thomas department stores, on Main
street. II the proposed new opera
house is a go. It viii be Job OF no
mean proportions, and a gentleman who
is interested, said this much talked Of
venture never before had within 1t 50
much the clements Of certainty.
Glesey Il Faris are the architects for
the Episcopal residence and the Chill
dren's. home; Architect E. B. Franz
helm has drawn the plans for the new
opera house; Architect Harry Forney
has the stone'& Thomas annex. In
residences, Architect Joseph Leiner has
quite a bunch, among them being q
double-brick dwelling for August Ira
bert, on the National road; saloon
buildings for Fred Knuth. at the corr
ner Of Fortleth and Jacob streets, and
william Mccormick. at the corner Of
Eighteenth and Market streets; store
building for j. c. Beck, at Thirty
eighth and Jacob streets, and dwelling
for Mrs. E. A. Ewing, at Edgington's
lane
In addition to those enumerated, there
are other residences to be erected this
spring, several Of them out-the-pIks.
but the architects were not prepared vet
to announce them. While the increased
cost Of building is handicap, one arch
itect said that people DESTROYS OF build
ing should not delay, as there were ln'
dications that pointed to a further adj
vance in the price OF some of the mater
ials.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
House of Mr.. John Tatem Damaged
Five Hundred Dollars.

Yesterday morning at 2:5O O'Clock an
alarm of fire was turned In from box
AZ, caused by q house on Third street,
near Lincoln, belonging to Mr.. John
being on fire. The Independent Fire
Company responded, the fire being in
their territory. They were soon fol-
lowed by the Chambers boys. but their
services were not needed, and they
were ordered back to the engine house
without going to work. The mistake
In their going came about because the
Independent Company had been out of
commission all August. and the Cham
bers were not notified that she had
peen put PACK In commission. On the
arrival of the Independents 1t was
seen that prompt action was neces-
sary. and the boys We're equal to the
occasion. and soon got to work, and
succeeded in keeping the fire in two
rooms below and one above. The
mousse was damaged, Mr.. Tatem
thinks, about $500. He held a policy
OF Si,O0o on 1t. The furniture was bad
~ damaged by water and rough hand
ling. He had slOlO on that.
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
MIR. Tatem says that the fire was
undoubtedly incendiary. His family
mas been in Kansas for several weeks,
and every other night there is no one
In the house. On this night there was
no one there He says that he slept
VII Silull pea on the nrSt HOOr when
at nome. On reaching the fire he i'm
meulately rushed to the back way with
the intention OF forcing an entrance
through the rear door, but when he
got there he found the kitchen Win
dow up and the rear door open, his
mattress was off the bed. He thinks
that the fire bug took the mattress,
which was a shuck one, and put it be-
mind sideboard In the corner and set
IRE to the mattress, for at this point
most of the fire seems to have been.
HOW THE FIRE WAS DISCOV-
Erred.
Just before the fire broke out a
severe rain and thunderstorm set in.
MIR. Harvey Godfrey, Mr.. Tatem's
next door neighbor, got up to close
his windows to keep out the rain. AS
he approached his side window lie saw
the reflection of Il light on his wall
that came through Mr. Tatem's win
dow opposite his. He called his wife
and said Mr.. Tatem is not at home
again tonight is he? She said no, L
reckon not. He stayed home last
night He then saw charred wood fall
to the floor. and said to his wife, My
God. that house Is on fire." He walked
his son, who got UP and went out on
the street and turned in the alarm in
time to prevent the entire house from
being destroyed. Mr.. Tatem thinks
that 1t was fortunate for him that the
storm came up when it did, otherwise
his loss would have been much
greater.
