The supply became exhausted DR..
Ripley had to hire help. He became

and in the direct sequence of cause
and effect, because everybody bought
the remedy. So young DR.. Ripley pro-
ceeded to buy a horse and buggy and
then a new house, and around the
house was a flower bed, and in the
flower bed were planted at least a

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 14-The bliz-
card which has been raging over southern
Wyoming for the past three days is over,
but has been followed with weather so
intensely cold that stock raisers, espe-
cially sheep men, are very apprehensive.
From Gillette it is reported that stockmen
expect heavy losses due to the severe
cold. Since the storm passed the mercury
has fallen below zero all over the state
and in some sections has dropped as low
as 25 below In the neighborhood Of Lar

featuring plants which expect to invest
large sums in property and improve
ments on the West side In the near
future, and as a result of the increas-
ing and large demand for desirable
locations, prices have gone soaring.
Property which could have been
bought for a song a year ago is now
held at high figure, and many of the
little homes are being sold at prices
never dreamed Of by their owners.
Spectators are beginning to see what
is in store for them, and many of them
are securing options on the property
which Is expected to be most in de-
mand.
With the activity in lower town and
West side realty, the general real es-
tate situation is commencing to show
big improvements. Local real estate
dealers, especially those who make a
specially of city property, are prepar-
ing for an unusually active business
during the spring season. Not since
the boom days" have there been so
many demands for property, and the
property mostly called for is that Of
the better class. The high rentals and
scarcity Of rentable properties, even at
the high price asked, has caused many
people who have heretofore rented to
take steps towards securing homes of
their own, and both the realty dealers
season this year in the recent history
Many Residences to Go Up.
One thing, however. which retards
the progress along this line is the high
price of building materials and labor
1t costs almost 25 per cent more to
build q home today than the same
home would have cost five years ago,
and for this reason many people, those
of moderate means, are slow about OBJ
ligating themselves in the purchase of
a home of their own Regardless Of
this situation. however. the scarcey if
houses will result in many new homes
being erected during the present year.
Several new apartment houses, mod
ern in every respect, are contemplated,
and 1t Is expected their erection will
be commenced early in the spring, but
in every instance where the plans are
so far advanced as to insure the erec-
ton Of the buildings this year, the
apartments have been spoken for in
advance.
Several substantial buildings are
also to be erected in the downtown
district this year. Plans have already
been completed for a new department
store building, to be erected on the
Schurmeier corner at Seventh and
Rosabel streets during the coming
summer. The plans, which were drawn
by Architect Fitzpatrick, provide for a
mercantile building of the glass block"
style, 175x15O feet in ground plan, and
with sufficient foundation to carry a
five-story structure. Who the occu-
pants of the proposed building are to
be is as yet secret.
Negotiations are also pending for
the construction Of new mercantile
building on Seventh street, from No.
263 to 269, inclusive, a frontage of 100
feet. This property is. now occupied
by small frame buildings.
With the erection of these buildings,
the erection of the proposed new home
for the Y. M. c. A, and a number of
other substantial blocks, there is every
reason to believe st. Paul will enjoy
good-sized building boom as soon as
the weather is suitable to commence
work.

ed in detail the proposed Inaugural
ton of a thirty-day credit system by
the grain, hay and produce dealers, in
stead Of the present sixty or ninety
day system. He gave some interesting
statistics, among others the fact that
local dealers handled in the course Of
one year 10000 barrels of flour for
home consumption. He also Vouch-
safed the information that until three
years ago st. Paul had not been looked
upon as grain and food market, but
that, through the efforts of the Prod
uce Exchange and the Board Of Trade,
it had become one of the greatest food
distributing points in the Northwest.
