OF the number required for several weeks
work on a $4,000 building would make
a difference Of perhaps 5000, say the
contractors. Brick of the better grades
is higher than a year ago
The law of supply and demand is cited
as the reason why both labor and material
are higher, There is so much building all
over the country that laborers are scarce
and lumber and iron mills cannot turn out
enough material to supply the demand. In
addition to the fact that there is an
enormous demand for lumber, the mills OF
Louisiana were hampered by wet weather
all spring and have cut less than the
usual aoutput Those in the northwest
started the season with a small supply on
hand, anG though working their full ca.
pacity, have been unable to I'LL all orders.
Lumber men say the cost of material
does not seem to curtail building operations
in the least The country is enjoying such
era of prosperity that large numbers OF
buildings will be erected regardless of
cost.

MATERIAL AND LABOR co UP
Prices for Building Advance on All Sorts Of
Commodities and Work,
SOME CONSTRUCTION THEREFORE PUT OFF
Building that One Year Ago Would
Cost Fifty Thousand Dollars
Would Now Come TO
sixty Thousand.

All building materials are higher in price
than they were last summer and the price
of labor has correspondingly increased.
Lumber is 10 per cent higher, iron 10 to Is
per cent higher labor 10 per cent higher,
cement 45 per cent higher, brick per cent
higher on some grades-this tells the tale
of the increased cost of construction this
summer. One man who figured last year
that he could put up building for $4,000
made his computations on last year 5
prices. This summer he found the same
structure would cost him $50 900 and he has
decided not TO build.
Naturally the prospective builder is most
impressed with the high price OF lumber.
that article being the first thing to be con-
sidered. The lumber dealers are not willing
10 shoulder all the responsibility for the
increased cost of building and are willing
to point out to their customers the facts
with regard to other building factors,
The lumber used in a $4,000 building
would. on the average, amount to 5000
10 $4,000 say the lumber men. Fifteen
per cent OF this amount would not begin
to account for the $1,000 added cost in
the last year to a building which could
have been erected last summer for $4,000.
Iron and Cement Go Up.
A leading firm of contractors said that
while they paid 10 per cent more for lum-
Der than last year. they had to pay 10 to
10 per cent more for iron. Quotations on

Mrs. NJ A. Plumb of Sheldon Ia. who is
in Omaha attending the camp meeting OF
the Seventh Day Adventists, felt hungry for
fruit yesterday afternoon. She paused at
stand at Sixteenth and Dodge streets and
bought what her appetite craved She
picked up the fruit and walked away, but
left her pocketbook, holding $25. lying on
the corner OF the stand. After walking two
blocks she discovered her loss and retraced
her steps
At the fruit stand the persons in charge
professed 10 be ignorant of the incident,
but Mrs. Plumb got the impression that a
bootblack from the shining shop OF John
Beshilas, 1Ol North Sixteenth street knew
| something about It.
The proprietor of the shop and the six
! boys it employs are Greeks and some OF the
youngsters are just learning English. Find
| ing herself unable to make any progress
Mrs. Plumb summoned Patrolman Cunning
ham. Beshilas objected TO letting the ON
Ger enter the shop and quiz the boys on
the grounds that the boy In particular who
was accused and one other did not know
English and might answer yes when they
meant the contrary. This was too much
for the officer, who telephoned for the
patrol wagon. The Greek and his helpers
were taken TO the station and searched but
nothing was discovered to fix the theft OF
the purse.
II developed, however. that Beshilas has
peculiar system for getting bootblacks.
The parents of all the lads still live in
Greece and the boys were brought TO the
United States by other relatives. They have
been turned over to Beshilas. who came 70

in the West.

Western railroads and stock growers are
planning to move against the twenty
eight hour law as 1t now stands in the
regulations for the shipment of live stock
in the matter of feed and water of stock
in transit.
The western roads maintaiR that the reg
ulations even with the notifications as
announced by Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief Of
the bureau of animal industry, and APP
proved by Secretary Wilson, were devised
more to accommodate eastern roads than
the roads of the west which haul the range
cattle The eastern roads haul, so it Is
claimed, the more select cattle from Chi
cago TO New York and 1t is no hardship
on them to load but fourteen or sixteen to
car and give them plenty Of room to lie
down, but on the western roads 1t is al
together different and would cost the ship

Congressman Mondell of Wyoming is in
teresting himself in the matter for the
western cattle raisers and the question will
be placed before congress when It convenes.
The law has been in effect for some time,
but the rigid enforcement has been required
only since July /.

BOY ESCAPES KIDNAPERS
Youth is Seized by Mother and UnOlS, but
Finally Gets Away.
EXCITING SCENE ENACTED ON STREET
Police Warn WOuId-Be AbductOrE
that Repetition of the Act
Might Land Them
I'm Prison.

John Diekamper, a we'll grown boy of 10
years, was kidnapped in broad daylight by
his mother and brother, and saved him
self after being dragged half block by
clinging to a lamp post at the corner Of
Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue. So
tightly did he cling to the pole that his
uncle could not pry him loose before a
crowd gathered and attracted Superinten-
dent Morris of the Associated Charities.
Young Diekamper told the superintendent
that he did not wish to go with his cap
tors, but that he desired to remain with
a guardian appointed by the juvenile court.
Morris assumed charge of the case and
took the whole party before Probation on
Ger Bernstein, who arrested Mrs. Diekam-
per and the brother, John Holbert, a
farmer, living in Indiana. 1t was proposed
TO file charges against them, accusing them
of contempt of court and abduction, but
they were released after talking with Po-
lice Captain Mostyn, who advised them
that a repetition OF the forcible measures
probably would land them behind the bars.
Boy Evades His Mother.
Young Diekamper lives with Miss Anna
Daley at 2l5 North Fourteenth, to whom
he was officially committed by the juvenile
court a short time ago, The boy, 1t is
said. does not care 10 have anything to do
with his mother. He and his guardian say
| they have been annoyed by agents of Mrs.
| Diekamper for nearly a year various eff
, forts being made to secure his custody, all
of thePl unsuccessful.
The lad had gone out on the street TO
buy a bowl of soup for a man in the house
who was sick and had just reached the
gate on his return, when his mother. Hol.
bert and another woman swept down upon
him and dragged him away. The soup
was spilled in the dirt and some small
coins carried by the boy lost in the scuffie.
| The trio got him only as far as the corner,
and, despite his objections. were about to
call a cab, when Superintendent Morris
made the rescue. Holbert admitted to Nor
ris that II was the intention to get the
boy out Of the city as rapidly as possible.
Something was said OF property which the
lad is to inherit and the superintendent
thinks the zeal Of possession of him may
be accounted for thereby.
