sHIPWREcKED MEN SAVED.
Bonfire They Build to Ward Off
Cold Attracts Life Crew.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Atlantic City. Dec. 2s.-Three ship
wrecked men were saved from perishing
of cold by the Brigantine life-saying crew.
The rescued men were Professor Rankin.
william Bailey and Bert Gilbert, all resi-
dents of this city.
After swimming ashore to the meadows
from their overturned boat they nearly
died from exposure around a small bonfire
about which they were lowering, half
frozen, when the rescuers arrived.
The men went out on cunning eIpedf-
ton some days ago and were returning In
a small sailboat with q long center-board.
the boat went over q shoal, the center
board stuck fast, and before the men
could free the boat the vessel went over.
They were unable to right the boat and
they were forced to swim ashore. a dis
lance of forty yards or so.
Then they were miles from any habi-
tation and night was coming on. One OF
the men. fortunately, had waterproof
match box In his clothing, and when the
three had collected scraps of dr1ftwood
from the banks of the meadow, with a
quantity of dry grass, they made a small
when dark settled down the fire was
seen at the Brigantine Life-Saving Station
and the crew suspected that something
was wrong and that most likely a ship
away on the meadows.
The life savers. at a venture, launched
lifeboat in the bay and rowed two miles
through the freezing night to ascertain
the cause of the fire.
Two of the cunning party were almost
stiff from cold. as the fuel was almost ex-
tausted. The Brigantine crew took them
to the station and later sent them home.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Sidney Schiele. assistant secretary OF
the Real Estate Exchange, who has made
q close STUDY of realty conditions in st.
Louis, and whose opinions are valued by
dealers, has submitted his report for the
year. 1t shows a healthy market and fine
prospects.
The report follows:
I'm many respects the year 1903 in the
realty market in st. Louis has been
remarkable one. While the community has
shared to large extent in the period OF
prosperity with which this country has
been blessed. there has been none Of the
overspeculation which has worked to the
great detriment Of real properties In other
cities under like conditions.
THE official record for the year Just
closing has. II anything, strengthened the
reputation which st. Louis long ago at
tanned. The confirmation Of its solidity
could not have been better shown by
building development commensurate with
the demand. present and prospective.
Real estate transfers-which are al
most automatic in their value as q barom-
eter of actual conditions-show an in
crease Of approximately 100000 over the
previous year.
ITO many, however, this gain. consid-
ering the proximity Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition. appears a small ona
Here. again. We have the well-known in
clination OF this city to profit by the les
son Of Chicago In 1888, by refusing to
overreaoh its abilities.

best disclosed by the accompanying table

Attention was called in this report Of

confronting the building communicable

this. field has been little short Of phenom-

Of this virtue win result in the housing Of
thousands Of strangers within our gates
at boarding and lodging houses. and this
alone will serve to give immeasurably
strong negation to the theory existing in
some places that st. Louis possesses par
tial and incomplete facilities.
TT Is, however, gratifying to realize that
the work toward dispelling the erroneous
impression current has been singularly
fruitful and that the good opinion of the
outside world has been to a great extent
aroused by the labors Of the Worlds Fair
information service and Of this exchange.
ASSESSMENTS.
Assessed valuations Of all property this
year have continued with almost unvary-
ing greatness. the gain over last year
amounting to 81, sN. os5. Az q matter of
course. the revenue from taxation will un-
dergo proporttonate increase.
AT the rate Of $2.16 on the hundred-dol-

municipality will derive an income of So

TRANSFERS
Go,G.S2s

Notwithstanding the aloofness of buy
ers, property in the immediate downtown
districts has steadily advanced in prices.
In the outlying sections, however, the op-
posite has been true, and offerings have
been made at the lowest prices in some
years.
Nevertheless. this operated against
even the semblance Of an imitation in
prices in any part OF the city.
with the cost Of building material and
labor at record-breaking figures, builders
and contractors have been compelled to
home-builder. anxiously awaiting a sharp
decline In the cost OF construction and
construction materials, as well as In the
hope OF. securing his lot on lower val
uadon, has been absent from the market,
while the Spectator. In his desire to avoid
Chtcago's mistakes, has also been mac
tive.
Taken thus together, the lack of the
above-named two factors. which are indis-
pensable to a realty market, really
brought about a unique situation and one
that strongly. though none the less cred
itably, reflects the commendable consev-
atism Of the entire fraternity.
The collapse of values in the stock
market during the last twelve months. and
in many instances are alleged to have
been fictitious. have again emphasized
the advantage of real estate as a fixed
and staple form of investment.
st. Louis has been better and more
favorably advertised during the year tust
closing than at any other time in its his
tory. The business organizations of the
