Jackson, May 24-The plan of
bringing new convicts to the prison
office in Jackson for registration has
been abandoned, and the prisoners
from the various counties are now
carried direct to the convict farms.
This action is taken on account of
the fact that the only remaining
building at the old penitentlary site
is being torn down, and only five
convicts will be kept in Jackson,
these being used as TRUSTEES at the
office, and they will be dispensed
with when the prison office is moved
to the new state house.

come back again and fall weather of
some degree of coolness arrives the
trade will revive. Real estate men pre-
dict that it will continue strong all
winter.
People have faith in Lincoln prop
erty. The owners show it by keeping
shy of the market Others show II by
searching them out. There was a time
and il was only a short number of
years ago. when ii was boasted by the
enemies of Lincoln that the whole town
was for SALE 1t wasn't hard either for
a real estate man to step out of his
Office and i'm a little while find a piece
of property of any description for any
body who wanted either to buy or to
rent. Now nine men out of ten refuse
to set any price on their property. They
don't want to sell. They are contented
to stay where they are. And what lots
and houses are for sale at all have
easy command of big prices. Lots
which found a hard market at $500 less
than seven years ago now bring $500 or
$1,000 like finding ii.
No part of the city is devoid of new
buildings i'm course of construction, but
the most of them are in southeast Lin
coin. 1t is there, too, that lots are the
highest and the buildings that are go
ing up represent the heaviest invest
ments. There are several good rea-
sons WHY home builders are hunparino
for possessions out this direction.
First, there is no other direction that
may be called of gilt edged desirability.
On the west and southwest the town
is bounded by the bottoms and the
humber classes. There is good land

BuiIding Boom
is Still On

Real estate men are happy; buyers
are happy; owners are joyful; builders
are plentiful; and all are busy.
Not even I'm boom days was city
property selling at higher figures than
now. And the virtue of the present
values is that they are solid. In those
far days they were inflated.
The peculiar feature of the situation
Is that Notwithstanding the fact that
carpenters and masons are busy all
over the city and houses are daily
coming to completion the demand for
rental property is none the less strong.
The reason is that people are throng
ing to town from other parts of the
state and also from other states. Some
of these are building; renters, too, are
building. Together they strike a bal
ance of activity and houses are scarce.
This is the time of year when real
estate transactions reach the ebbing
point. The lull has prevailed several
weeks and will continue several more.
Things are in the hands of workmen
now, rather than with the agents. 1t is
Just the common summer dullness to be
found existing in all lines of business
to more or less extent. People are out
of town. They are off to the resorts
that guarantee the least perspiration
and depression. Those who are pass
ing the time in the shade of their own
cool trees are not busy buying land for
houses. but building on what they have

south but a prejudice exists against 1t.
Several years ago the titles to 1t be-
came entangled Considerable litiga-
ton resulted. Though they have en-
joyed the removal of all kinks since,
the courts did not fit their rulings to
include prejudice also.
North Of o street beyond the line of
the university come the railroad tracks.
They act as a bar to the fashionable
element in that direction. In east Lin
coin there are good properties, but to
get to them the Rock Island tracks
must be crossed. A great many would
go any direction to dodge railroad
tracks. Southeast is the handiest.
That part of town is young and high
and handsome. The pavement Of Sew
enteenth street penetrates 1t admirably.
South of F street the trees may not
but that fact is not such an objection
as to lessen the value of holdings there
In fact to go west from Seventeenth
street, keeping a reasonable distance
south of F street, one will encounter
property worth much less than that
east of Seventeenth street and north of
F. Not that this southern belt is in
expensive. Far from it. Ask anybody
who has burrowed into his bank ae-
count to build there. But 1t is not SO
costly as that on the east side.
When the university students begin
to come back rents are likely to stiffen

students here. They do not believe for
a minute that the university is detri
ment to the town. More food must be
bought, more clothing must be handled,
nearly every line of business feels the
good Of the presence of students in
greater or less degree. AS for rents
nobody knows better than the renter
himself that all this new construction
has not lowered them in the least. No
desirable house in town can be had for
less than s. or $40. 1t is difficult to
get them at any price.
Values were never at a more whole
some pitch. No better evidence could

Washington. Jan. 27-SIowly developing
events seem 10 show that the isJhmian canal
question is nearer settlement than II was

seems further from final determination than

The fact that the Hepburn Nicaragua bill has

become so complicated in the Senate since the
Walker Commission made its supplementary re-
port recommending the purchase OF the French
Panama Canal to Indicate postponernent ct
definite action far as this session is con-
cerned. In support of this belief il is pointed
out that the Senate. as frequently told in The
Tribune. is determined to make it's own investi-
CATION into the question Of the route finally TO
be selected Two movements were made to-day
which plainly indicate that this is the Senats's
intention One was the Introduction of a
