- H. for the most advanced and
successful work in concrete construc.
tion for buildings.
Capitalists and others about to invest
in new buildings and who are residents
of different cities in the west, are com
ing to Minneapolis to ascertain by per-
sonal inspection and conference with
building contractors, all they can about
concrete work in the -four city.
Among these visitors is A.. Younker
Of Des Moines. Mr.. Younker is inter

erected several buildings there as in:
vestments. F.. :.

crete building work in Minneapolis, -
said Mr.. Younker at the West hotel
land [ decided to come to the city my:
self to make personal investigation
While here am visiting friends and en-.
joying myself socially, but the object
of my trip is to investigate concrete
construction, in which Minneapolis
seems to be the leading city of the
northwest. I have talked with the own
have seen the contractors and obtained
much valuable information from them
and have inspected the concrete struc
lures which are already completed here
and in use. I had the pleasure of visit
ing the building Of the Northwestern
| Knitting works. This is the first con
crete building to be erected in thu
northwest and naturally is Of consider
able interest. -. 49, ..-.-.
| my Investigations in Minneapolis
lead me to believe that concrete has al
ready, demonstrated it's good qualities
for the new use to which it is beins
put, when handled properly by expert
enced hands. AS result, believe will
my associates, that I shall use concret
in the erection of a new building il
view e?ved for Pes Nc Moin les; I am thorol:
way Of the concrete buildings I hav
visited in Minneapolis.

HISTORY Is BROKEN
November Building Records of North

W0SI OVettA4oW via arguments.
In it's summary of November build
ing conditions in Minneapolis and the
northwest. the Improvement Bulletin
says N:r.,nhor fo,,,, -, 80, =,
altogether too late in which to do any
real building in this climate, but
casual glaDce along the streets of the
twin cities as well as Of the cities AMI
towns Of the northwest, will reveal
that a great change has been made in
this respect. To be sure, the work that
is being started is rather limited. but
this is natural, for cold weather is y
probability and storms a possibility at
this, date, which makes it uncertain
work to start building. But all classes
of construction, from cottage to large
steel construction work, may be seen
in progress, with the intention of being
| continued thru the winter in most cases.
An excellent indication of the
strength of the building position may
DC seen in the advancing tendency to
be noted in various articles of build
ing material. Iron and steel structural
work is frmer and higher, as well as
exceedingly uncertain Of delivery. De-
iveries have been belated all summer.
and it is still difficult matter to Sc.
| cure delivery Of such work as wanted.
Lumber is also higher, and Washing
ton dimension tlmbers are scarce Ce-
ment is scarce and firm, with some adj
vance in price. Overproduction is ac-
T countable for a reduction in price on
shingles. Builders hardware is firm
and steady in price, as has been the
! case. for the season. The demand for
| this time Of year is unusually large.
and it is largely for the better goods.
better quality and finish.
! The season has seen an unusual
amount of concrete construction work
Ill various lines, from foundations for
small structures to great bridges and
| viaducts and office and factory build.
lngs Residence construction thru the
country has shown a strong tendency
toward using concrete blocks for some
portion Of the work, if not for the
! whole building.
In the cities there is already prom
1s1ng lot Of large structures in view
for spring construction, for which plans
viii be developed during the winter
and In some cases the contracts will
! probably be let. Tho this is not &c
prominently the case thru the country
It is largely because the buildings are
smaller and do not require planning &C
Tar in advance. There is no doubt that
the country will do it's full share Of

come from different sources.

This lack of hospitality was not in

The Floral Parade is to be held on
Washington's birthday February %.
This was decided upon yesterday at
a meeting of a. Young, Gerrit Wilder
and A. Gartley, the committee select
ed by the Promotion Committee to
take this matter in mind. The COM
mittee decided on three divisions, as
follows:
1.-Automobiles.
2.-Carriages and other vehicles
3.-Horseback riders.
The latter divisions will be one of
the most spectacular seen on Homo
luIu's streets in many years. for it is
hoped TO have in the procession a
oldtime Hawaiian pa-us of the most
brilliant coloTs. There are scores of
fine riders among the women of Ha-
waii and this opportunity is certain to
draw out a big crowd of them.
Horseback riders, native and other
