Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-05-24

While Idaho Springs is not experienc-
ing boom, its citizens can Justly feel
proud of their city. From one end of the
city limits to the other the sound of the
hammer and saw can be heard. And it is
all because the city has outgrown itself.
More houses are needed, and the sound,
substantial citizens who have had money
lying idle in the banks have come to re-
alization of the fact that people will not
locate here unless they can find accomo-
dations. With this end in view over fifty
cottages have been erected during the
winter and spring months. Many are now
undergoing the last finishing touches,
and by June I will be ready for occu-
pancy.
G. A. Humphrey the well-known con-
tractor, has had an exceedingly busy
time. Among the buildings he has erect
ed might be mentioned the following ::
Residence for c. B. Wall, located on Col
orado street between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth. This building is one of the
most substantial in the city, and the
workmanship is irst-class in every detail
The Great Western Investment company
awarded their contracts to Mr.. Hum
phrey also, as did John Stasney, who de-
cided upon having home of his own.
The foregoing people are to be congratu-
lated upon having secured the services OF
Mr.. Humphrey.
The house being built for Mrs. M. Muir
ray, on Wall street. is nearing completion,
and as soon as ready for occupancy, will
serve the lady as a model home. This
house has six rooms, is thoroughly mod
ern, and cost 81, 500.
James Redding's new dwelling is nearly
completed. This structure is also located
on Wall street and cost 81, 300.
John Owen is another man who believes
in helping build up the city. He has in
the course of construction a large frame
residence, which will be rented. 1t is
said that Mr.. Owen is considering the ad-
visibility of erecting two or more similar
buildings.
The dwelling being erected by j. A.
Kipp, to be known as 735 Colorado
street, will be credit to the city. 1t Will
contain eight rooms and be thoroughly
modern. No expense has been spared in
making it a much sought prize. The en-
tire house is being finished in hard wood.
The work will be completed by July I.
Charles Collom is erecting six-room
house on Virginia street. The cost Will
be s., 600. Mr.. COLON intends moving
his family into their new home by Aug
ust /.
While the west part of the city has been
doing itself proud, it must not be forgot
ten that the east end, known as Sunny
side, has been exceedingly busy. In one
block seven houses are nearing compile

TRADE REPORT.

I Bradstreet's report on trade las
week says:
Satisfaction with the old and re
newed confidence in the new year are
the dominant features in the new
Industrial, commercial and financial
situation The week has naturally
been quiet TO the verge OF dullness as
regards new business. the main atten-
ton being concentrated in gathering
up the threads of old business, in stock
taking and in preparations for the flu
ture.
A conspicuous exception TO the gen.
eral quietness Is found in the iron and
steel situation. which gains rather
than loses activity. Here. however, the
car shortage question cuts disturb
ing figure and one which, in view OF
the advanced stage OF the season. bids
fair to continue to unseetle both pro.
cuction and consumption considerably.
The only appearance OF weakness in
finished products is in wire and nails,
which are 81 per ton lower, owing to
increased competition of outside
makers.
Prices show few changes on the
week. The cereals are on the whole
higher, due mainly to the strength OF
wheat. which still supports the coarser
grains. Small deliveries and firm ca
bles. with some better export buying
early, checked later by the advance,
coupled with good buying by the coun-
try, are the strengthening features.
Winter wheat crops are in the main 4
features.
Quietness Is the feature in leather
and kindred trades, but an excess rath-
er than a loss in strength Of price Is
looked for. Shoe shipments are small
sr than OF late. but still are in excess

Celebrate Bjornson's Birthday.

Christiania, Dec. S.-Bjornstjerne
Bjornson, the orwegian poet, dramat,
ist. novelist and political reformer,
IA seventy years old today and the
event was made the occasion for cele.
bration throughout Norway.
'Bjornson is the national poet of Nor
way. His name is a synonym of the
hopes and aspirations of the Norweg'
ian people in their political and in
~tellectual struggles.
Bjornson was born in 1882 and began
his literary career in the early SOS
In 1857 he published a peasant novel
"Synnove Solbakken," which proved
epoch-making in Scandinavian literal
ure. In it and several others that fol
lowed he gives an localized picture OF
peasant life-brought the thougts and
aspirations of the p~easantry into lit
erature. These stories have been a

great scource of pleasure and profit to
the Norwegian people. Peasants have
read them and learned to know their
better selves. tft
Bjornson's literary activity since the
days of the peasant novel has been to
elevate the Norwegian people. And to
accomplish this he has worked In var
ious directions. He has written mum.
erous songs that have fired his coun-
trymen with a spirit of self-reliant
patriotism; other songs touching the
various phases of life and love that
have been enrolling and refining. He
has written historical dramas to bring
vividly before his people the sturdy
qualities of their forefathers; powerful
social dramas which probe deep in So
cial evils, not primarily for dramatic
effect, but to arouse the public con
science and to suggest the remedy:
modern realistic novels that have dealt
in the broadcast manner with the great
questions of education, religion and
domestic duty.
Bjornson is therefore known better
in Scandinavia as a political reform.
er, though his reputation outside his
native country is that of a delightful
novelist and poet. A republican of the
republicans, he has for years been
lodging jails and writing problem
books. Years ago he was given a Jail
sentence for treason, but got out of
Norway and lived in Germany until
1882. On his return to Christiania he
at once resumed his anti-government
agitation and his novel writing. He
wrote tragedies, too, and won a wide
fame as a writer and describer of
Norwegian life, His seventy years
weigh lightly on him. and he is full of
intellectual and physical vigor. He is
the son of a country pastor and began
his areer by writing folk stories for
periodicals. His early education was
received in Denmark and his literary
masters are Ranish. He has written
about twenty-five works in all-plays
and novels.
