II is August weather of the worst KIND

This makes a difference in the size of our

the Americans are being sent home. We

Estimates for the building Of the Pres

the plans and specifications have been sent
to New York in an effort to get the steel

in the neighborhood of $4,000. 1t may be
that a wooden-framed building. instead OF
a steel one, will have to be adopted. This
would save about $1,000.

has gained the characteristic Importance
