Lumber Dealers Say Rise in Price
of Lumber is Not So Much.
TEN PER CENT WILL COVER IT
Ottumwa Dealers Say That the Popu.
lar Idea of a Large Increase In
the Price of Their Com.
modify is Erroneous.
[ From Saturdays Daily.l


Ottumwa lumber dealers say that
the advance in the price of lumber is
greatly exaggerated in the minds of
the people and because of it they are
not building this spring as they ordi-
narily do. The concensus of opinion
seems to be that the advance is but
about 10 per cent over prices in 1898,
when it was sold at an actual loss at
the mill. Nails have fallen ST per key,
glass is lower and mill work is the
same while labor is, if anything, slight
ly cheaper. So on the whole, the lum-
Der men say, it will cost but about 10
per cent more on the job to build a
house now than it would in 1893,
which is taken as u base from which
to work because of the depressed
prices. No excuse, they say, is need
ed for the higher price; it is now
where it should have been all along.
Lath has gone up clear out of sight"
but the advance makes clustering
cost but about cents per yard more.
Box stuff, such as is used for lining
dimension stuff has advanced some,
slightly lower. Mill work is about at
|
modities that enter into the construc-
ton of a house furnished by the lum-
herman are not so high as people gen
orally suppose, according to the deal
ers. They say that if it costs more
than 10 to IL per cent to build house
now than it did in 1893 it is not the
fau't of the lumber dealer, but that
the blame should be laid where it be-
longs. Working on this line Courier
reporter visited a few of the dealers
and this is what they say:
c. w. Major.
'Mr. Major, they tell me it costs 20
to 25 per cent more to build house
now than it did in 1898: is that right?
If it is not in your estimation, what
is the increase in cost. If any?"
.'The impression has prevailed among
intending builders to a great extent
that the price of lumber has gone up
| to the point where it means a great
increase in the cost of building. 1t
has been stated that the increase will
reach as high as 20 and even 80 per
cent. This is erroneous. | have stud
lied the matter carefully and my con
clusion is that 10 per cent would about
Icover it. This is accounted for in this
way: Box stuff has risen greatly. Out

Death OF Miss Maggie Kemp.

That the young and fair will die was
again verified in the death of Miss
Maggie May Kemp which occurred at
her home on Fifth street Tuesday
morning.
On Monday of last week she was
taken i'll with pneumonia, and although
medical aid was rendered and every
thing that sympathetic and affectiona.e
relatives and kind friends could do was
done, she grew steadily worse until
Tuesday at u. N. when death relieved
her sutferings.
The deceased was born in Perrys-
burg March II, 1882, and was the
youngest daughter OF George Kemp
and wife. She was a member of the c.
E. Society and E. s. S. A. club of the
Evangelical church and was a general
favorite with her large circle ol
acquaintances. She attended the
Perrysburg public schools and was an
unusually bright scholar, but was
obliged to withdraw from her class last
year on account OF Ill health.
During her sickness she displayed a
true christian spirit, never complaining
but suffering in silence till the end.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Evangelical church Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. w. A.
Shisler, assisted by Rev. ID, Stecker,
and the remains were placed at rest in
Fort Meigs cemetery.
Her pail bearers were composed OF
six girls and six boys, members of the
&. S. S. A. club.

Hard Times Surprise Party.

On Monday evening the employees OF
the electric roads and a few friends
perpetrated very pleasant surprise on
Henry Eldridge at his home on Second
street.
In response TO a gentle tap at the door
Henry's view was greeted with sight
that made him think the Beers were
about to lombard his house, but after
he recovered from the first shock he
discovered it was only party of friends
arrayed in hard times costumes who had
assembled to enjoy the hospitality of
his home for the evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eldr:dge turned the
house over to the guests for the night
and the occasion was one OF genuine
enjoyment until they took their
departure. Games OF various kinds
furnished amusement and a delicious
fruit supper was served.
Those who were present and helped
make the gathering success were:
Frank Sherman and wife, j. J. Steyen-
son and wife, Clarence Sager and wife,
Otis HerKimer and wife, Fred Watkins
and wife, Mort Mann and wife, o. e.

On Saturday last j. Orwig and son
Misses Maggie Orwig and Gertrude
Roberts were driving from this place
to their home in Portage In light
spring wagon, and as they approached
the G. II. & d. crossing on Walnut
street Mr. o. whipped up his horses to
cross the track ahead of an approaching
train. The men occupied the seat,
while the ladies were seated on box
in the rear of the wagon, and as the
team started forward with sudden
jerk the ladies were thrown on the
tracks directly in front OF the train.
The engineer seeing the danger In
which the ladies were, jumped from the
engine and rescued them just in time
to prevent them being struck. Miss
Roberts was rendered unconscious by
the fall while Miss Orwig escaped with
a sprained ankle. The latter lady
made heroic efforts to drag her uncon-
scious companion from the tracks but
was unable to do SO until assisted by
the engineer. The ladies were taken
to the home OF Capt. Rodgers where
they were cared for and later in the
evening continued their journey home
