Taking Advantage Of the Open
Season to Push All Buildings
To Completion.
SOUTHEAST IS GROWING UP.
Houses Being Erected IN Large Num-
bers in that sectiOn--Some Big Con.
tracts Haudled.

The fine weather which has been pre-
vailing promises To continue for some
time TO come as the moon has changed
and no change of weather has come
with It. The weather office looks for
clear skies for the next three or four
days anyhow, and the weather clerk
seems TO have marked the weather GER
tlcate, "T. F."--'till forbid, and then
gone off and forgotten all about 1t.
Building contractors are In high feather
in consequence, and everywhere advan-
tage is being taken OF the open season
to push on the completion of buildings
well under way. Contractor Curley Is
hurrylng up with the top floor of the
;smery-Eolmes apartment house, so
that the roof may be put on, which VIII
be started next week. Then when the
roof is on, the immense Job of Interior
finishing can be started. The Eighteenth
ward schoolhouse is well up in the air.
and makes an imposing appearance, AT
the Catholic cathedral, the walls OF the
nave have been completed. the crosses
are in place, and the front wall Is ris-
Ing rapidly. As soon ~ the roofing
material is on hand 1t can be put in
place. At the Presbyterian church the
rear part of the structure Is not only
under roof but progress is being rapid
ly made with the main auditorium.
When the latter Is enclosed and pro-
tected from the weather, work VIII be
taken up more actively on the front
elevation. NJ. II. Walkers fine resi-
dence Is looking better than ever now
that the cement-plaster Is on the walls
and the building Is seen TO ne easily one
OF the most attractive In the vest The
Independent Telephone building Is now
up to the roof. where the final steel
joists are being laid. and with the ele-
CANT white stone front, II is making a
striking appearance. But 81 VIII not be
alone very long, as tonight, the direc-
tors OF the Y NJ. G. a. Will meet In

| Knusford. VIII be up TO the
] first floor the coming week.
4 AS fast as progress is being
made at the federal building, and II
the fine weather keeps up, the contrac-
tor will reach the roof much earlier
than was anticipated. The use of the
steam hoist Is great help. The Atlas
! block, too, is rising rapidly. The rear
is four stories in the air and now that
the white sandstone for the front has
come, the front elevation with It's fine
contrasts in white stone and copper is
making more and more Of a show. The
| Clayton Music building IL ready for oc-
cupgncy, and the company 10 removing
its stock from the old-time stand on
| west First South street to the new
| structure. The studios and warerooms
| viii be rs fine as can be found In the
west. The Vermont building on State
| street Is being plastored and will soon
be ready for occupancy as an annex
to the Lincoln hotel,
In the meantime residences and more
on less humble homes are going up all
| over town. The east side seems at
present to be the fayorite on account OF
the changes TO be made on the west
side by railroad locations. Notwith-
standing the proximity Of the city
| cemetery many houses are being built
in that part Of the town, but contrac-
tors say the time is not far distant
| when the northeast part Of the city viii
be so thlckly settled, that interments
| will have 20 cease, and a new cemetery
started In a more remote location, The
projectors Cf oakley addition, and the
land In the vicinity Of the state fair
grounds, are being built up. and the ex-
tension OF the street railway system
TO Oakley is helping in the develop
| mont. The southeast section of the
city is being specially favored with new
houses, and they may be seen In pro-
cess Of erection almost everywhere.
