AS cold weather apI reaches the work
on wb.hita's resid. snce buildings is rush
ed with ever increa sing importantly.
Every available man who knows how to
handle a saw and hammer is in de-
mand. And the pIanizl mills are crowd
ed to their utmost Efforts. Every sinew
IS being strained TO it's utmost. Mater
sal cannot be secureo- fast enough TO
supply the demand that is pressing every
dav. The winters beinls mild in this sec
ton. however, there are many new houses
stating up and so the rush Will be but
LITTLE affected by any ordinary weather.
Everywhere ne song of the hammer IS
heard. Men who are OF at work for
others are building their own homes anc
SO If bappens that there is not an idle
man in the city VINO needs TO be idle. The
total amount OF building that is going
on at the present time VIII be a surprise
10 many Of the Wichita people who think
that thew are we'll posted On the progress
of the Peerless Princess. From end to
end and from side to side the same thing
holds true. Wichita is growing.
Some rather remarkable things have
been brought to light by the Eagles in
vestigation Of the amount of building
that is going on. Among other things
tt apDears thai Wichitans favor five
room. cottages. Everywhere onehnds them
in all states Of perfection f sOm the cheap
house that is built acco 7ding to the
means Of some poor laborer to the hand
somely finished no ne of ( he merchant.
MANY of them are finished simply and
cheaply, but many more gre furnished
with all Of the equipments that are TO
be found in the most modern houses The
very best OF oak finishing is common
and mahogany is to be FOUND in several
places Bath rooms are in all and clos
cts. pantries, electric lights and gas
lights are to be found in a large percen-
tage Of them. IN fact the man who has
lived on the pla ms Of Kansas has learn
Cd how TO build the hon g that viii secure
him the most comfort at the least eX-
pense and the greatest conveniences. He
has decided that staiUvays are nuis-
ance and hard things TO climb and has
dispensed with them 10 very large
extent.
Fine homes that cost up in the thous-
ands of dollars are 10 be seen on every
hppy. prosperous community is evident.
