FIGURES ARE LARGE
Building Statistics for the First
Quarter Of the Year.
WORKING MEN BUILDING HOMES
This Is Shown by the Greater NUM-
Der of Less Expensive
Dwellings,.

Building operations for the first three
months Of the present year evidence an
extraordinary revival in constructio &C
tlVlty, even over the excellent showing
OF last year. In total cost the work be-
gun in the first quarter of 1902 is almost
double that Of the same period last year,
while the Increase in the number Of dwell
1ngs is even greater-217 this year, against
100 in 1901. The total cost Of all improve
ments begun In the past quarter is 1884,,
694. compared with $504 529 for the CORE
spending time last year. The increase is
found almost wholly IN the line of resi-.
dence building. Otherwise the present
season has not been notably different
from last.
The expenditure for dwellings for the
hrst three months was $685. 900, against
$780, in the same time in 1901. The
distribution Of these dwellings by wards
gives probably pretty correct idea as to
the general direction of growth during
the present year AS might be expected
the west end Of the city, comprising the
eighth and thirteenth wards and the up-
per end Of the fourth, show the greatest
activity in the line of residence build
ing But the gain in all three of the
other chief sections Of the city-north.
east and south, is almost as remarkable
100 per cent, or little better, in each
case In the three above wards there
were begun during the first quarter Of
1901 forty-four dwellings. During the
quarter just ended permits were taken
out for 1O5 dwellings. an increase of about
40 per cent. OF all the wards in the city
the thirteenth leads in the number Of
new ellings,-forty-six against fifteen
Tor the same time last year. The eighth
came next with forty-four, compared with
twenty last year. The other wards come
In the following order: Tenth, thirty
eight; ninth and third, eighteen each;
fourth and seventh, fifteen each: first
twelve; twelfth nine; second, six;
eleventh, three; fifth, two; sixth, one.
The increase over last year in the sew
enth ward was almost 300 per cent and
in the ninth 200 per cent. The sixth and
eleventh wards alone show slight fall
ing Off from last year. j.
The quality Of the residences being
built this year will average somewhat
below former years, owing to the remark
ably large number of modest working
mems homes, now going up in the outside
wards, notably the thirteenth, ninth and
tenth. The number of high-class resi-
dences, those above $4,000, is also greater
than usual. .r...

LESSON FROM THE PAST
AS TO REAL ESTATE PROSPECTS
A Few Points by Mr.. Morrison of

Mr.. Morrison, of the Morrison Critten-
den company, contributes the following on
the real estate situation:
= An old adage, and true one, that this;
tory repeats itself" is exempllfed in the real
estate situation to-day. The American people
have outgrown their currency every twenty
years, and in the formation, Of a new cur
rency basis the moneyed men become pessi-
mists and the stringency of the money market
Is what the average man calls '.hard times,
During the struggle for independence the
currency Of the colonies became almost worth
less and continued so until after the war
There we're continuous hard times from 1776
to 1882 About this time the deprecated cur
rency was bought by spectators and re-
deemed by the government at par. This was
an early example Of the power the financier
has upon the value of the currency of ma
ton. for as soon as the currency got into the
hands Of the spectators all classes OF people

dollar was at last worth 100 cents

States bank in 1871, and allowing twenty

BACK FROM THE EAST
Franklin Benner Tells of Sentiment
There Toward Minneapolis.

There Toward Minneapolis.
Franklin Benner has returned from a
threeweeks' absence, chiefly spent in Bos-
ton and New York. The trip was for
recreation, but Mr.. Benner looked about
in different real estate markets. He re-
ports that great many are showing in
terest in Minneapolis investments and he
believes that before the close of the year
mere money will be sent here by eastern
investors The desipe to get in here is
increasing. g.. ..
1t is growing more difficult to buy here.
Mr. Benner met one man, for instance,
who had held property for long time
who is now determined TO hold out longer
This attitude is common.
Fasteners make the great mistake Of
talking against Minneapolis. when they
have lost money at home as much as in
Minneapolis. Some southern cities which
they have doomed have collapsed and
never recovered, while Minneapolis has
recovered and IS prospecting, and this is
many real estate men have been down
east and talked that people are beginning
to believe in that part of the country that
Minneapolis is good place to tie to-
Mr.. Benner says it is a great mistake
to give out the idea tina the farm land
boom Is at an end. The more farm lands
sold the better for the city. The farm land
boom Is not nearly over. 1t has not
reached the top yet Ultimately many
will come from the country. as they are
doing now, to build houses here and edu-
cate their children.

inevitable something" will turn up. and
knock values topsy turvy. ,
This "Helps someD

Another Sign" of good times for the hold
ers or city properties is the rush for wild
lands in the west Every actual settler in
North Dakota and Minnesota adds certain
percentage to the value of our city property,
and If from no other cause, this migration to
the west will cause marked increase in the
value OF all classes of city property. and the
man who will make the most money in the
next few years is the one who will buy all the
property he can handle at prevailing prices,
and not spend his time looking for Snaps, .
for the snap hunter Is like the man looking
for the needle in the haystack. Occasionally
property is sold at an old-time price, but II
person intends to speculate in this class OF
property alone his holdings Will be very
small when he comes to sell at the advanced
prices that will prevail in the near, future.
Our last boom in real estate followed the
extensive settling up of the west and a8repe-
tition Of this condition is as sure to follow
as any prophecy that can be made The New
Highlander still plants his potatoes in the
moon and is wont to prophesy concerning
the weather, but be he right or wrong we
who have made a study OF the conditions OF
Minneapolis feel that our realty is bound to
improve in value.
Prices at the present time in improved prop
erty have not advanced at the same ratio as
those of unimproved, owing to the fact that
the largest holders of nnimproyed property
have made q study of existing conditions and
have the same idea Of the advancement that
is held by the dealers in realty. & VI
/ Another factor that keeps improved property
at a lower ratio than unimproved is the fact
that hundreds of business men owning homes
know OF immediate chances to increase theil
profits by investing more money in theil
business and are willing to- sacrifice Their
homes to increase their working capital Fol
instance, a dealer in ice saw a. chance tt
purchase the contents. of several out of towr
houses and, like a sensible man, sacrificed
few dollars and his home and made severa
hundred
These chances are open to few far -sightet
business men. but for the average man will
idle money in the banks we know Of nothing
that we can recommend that will equal in
vestments in city property. IS j5s
Another factor in favor Of the purchase o
improved property is the increased cost o
building material and the uncertainties Of tn,
labor, situation. and although we favor tn,
high prices paid labor, We fear that til,
unions may try TO take adyantage Of the situ

Purchases.

The Northwestern bank lease Of the
Welles property, known as the Gale resi-
dence, has attracted much attention.
Backed by the wisdom OF such strong
conservative financial institution, the
move seems to have great weight and the
effect on the real estate market will be
very noticeable. The bank officials are,
reported as being more pleased with their
selection as time passes.
