BETTER
Improvement Noted in Building
Outlook for Another
Year.
PRICES ARE ON THE DECLINE
Lumberman's Journal Predicts Un-
usual Activity i'm kural
Districts.

While Rock Islands growth during
the season past through the erection
of new buildings has been by no means
slow and the usual number of dwell
ing houses has been erected to meet
the imperative needs of the increas-
ing population, it is conceded on all
hands that it has not been what it
would have been had not the prices
Of material and labor been so high
Scores of people bought lots and in
tended building, but were prevented
by the conditions. Several large
buildings that were planned for cree
ton during the summer were not
started and viii not be till they can
be put up for less money. This state
of affairs has not been merely local
but has prevailed over the entire
country.
Another year, however, there is
prospect Of more favorable terms for
those who would build Already lum-
Der shows a downward tendency ana
other kinds Of material are going in
the same direction. Those who are
n touch with the situation predict
that next summer will be the best for
some years to undertake an enter
prise of this sort. In this connection
the LumEerman'S Journal says:
The decline in the prices of iron
ana steel and the probable lower
prices of other building material by
next spring. should have the tendency
to revive the building industry. There
is also prospect that the labor stu
alton viii Ice more favorable to the
employer next year. But it is Il nota-
BILE thing that the causes that induce
hard times in other lines tend to re-
strict building enterprises. The rea-
son fer this is that building in the
cities is largely in the hands of spec
ulators who have to borrow money.
Hard fines induce tight money mar
ket and Il close scrutiny of securities
for borrowed money. Such condi-
tions are a handicap to the specula-
tive builder. Yet there are invest ors
Of capital who would seize on the OPP
portunity of cheaper material and
more tractable labor to build and
thus save money in the cost.

more favorable conditions than dur
ing the years of the prosperity boom.
The farmers and villagers do not
build for speculation, but they will
be able in this instance to make a
good speculation by building when
they can do it at minimized cost.
The farmers have been prosperous
for several years. Not only have they
made money out eff their crops, but a
rise of 80 to so per cent in the value
of their land has greatly added to
their wealth. They can effect anoth
er addition thereto by making sub
stantial improvements while material
is comparatively cheap; for it is
doubtful if after the downward dip
which may be approaching there will
soon again, in this country, be an
other one. especially as respects lum-
Der. The supply in the cid fields of
production is rapidly diminishing
while that from the newer fields is
far-fetched and costly in Transports
