BUILDING NOT CHECKED.

Lumber advanced another dollar a
thousand on the average last week.
Glass is up to the highest notch
known, and other building materials
are high. Labor is also scarce and
commands good wages. Yet in spite
of all this, there is good deal of &C
tivity in the building line and the ar
chitects are kept busy: The most of
their work comes from outside of the
city, among the growing towns of
southwestern Minnesota, where numer-
GUS houses and stores are going up.

SETTLED THE MATTER.
Banker Quackenbush Buys Four Other
Claims 10 Do So.

The proceedings to throw c. W.
Loree of Ottawa into bankruptcy were
Monday dismissed by Referee Flittie,
a settlement having been reached.
Until two weeks ago, Mr.. Loree was
engaged in the general merchandise
business and was grain buyer. At
that time he transferred his stock to
Banker Quackenbush of LeSueur.
Four of the other creditors, who
claimed that preference was being
shown in favor of the bank, retained
Jay Henry Long of this city and filed
a-petition. to have Loree declared an
involuntary bankrupt. These four
claims aggregated $1,000, and Mr..
Quackenbrush bought them up at
about fifty cents on the dollar, thus
bringing about the dismissal of the
action.

cording to lines Of trade. For instance,
all the soap asked for will be entered
according to items and institutions.
on single sheet. Copies of this
sheet will be sent to all the houses that
desire to bid on soap. In the same
way, staple groceries will be entered
on one flour on one, coal on another,
and bidders supplied with these
sheets For bidding purposes there will
be nearly 100 divisions made. Bidders
have already been listed, and any one
desiring to bid will be furnished with
blanks ON application to the board.
The bid on each item is separate,
and the board may take the lowest bid
on each item. Thus it may be sugar
for Rochester from one wholesale
grocery, tea from another, coffee for
Hastings from another, and so on down
the line.
If there is any item called for that
cannot be bought, the article desired
will be covered by a re-estimate, APP
proved by the board.
Estimates are already coming in,
but none have been reviewed by the
board as yet. They are coming in very
neatly arranged, and considering that
it is an experiment as yet, everything
is compact and very explicit. The es-
Inmates call for such articles separately,
| with the grade or brand desired, guam
tity, market price, probable total cost,
and where used.
The system of bookkeeping will be
very complete. Duplicate books will
be kept for everything, one set at the
institution and one set at the Office
of the board. Every item will thus be
entered twice.
The books will show just how every
institution is supplied quantity, grade
and all. A bookkeeper employed by
the board will make frequent trips
checking up the institution to see that
books and supplies tally.
July 81 of every year a complete in
ventory must be taken. Blanks have al
ready been sent out for the forthcom-
ing inventory. They must be returned
by Aug. 5. They will show every item
of property and supplies owned by each
institution on the date, when they
pass into the hands of the board Of
control.
The board is going after record,
and it is expected that the first year
work will show material saving tc
the state. The responsibility of this
board may be realized from the fact
that it will directly supervise the ex
penditure of nearly 81, 600, 600 of state
money per year.
