Real Estate
and Building
for the Week

Although business in the real estate
line was somewhat sluggish the past
week. prominent real estate dealers
OF the city look for renewed activity
within the next few weeks.
| Despite the apparent inactive condi-
ton, indications are for a busy fall.
Some of the leading land men expect
an unprecedented volume OF business
as result of the healthy tide of pros
perity that shows no signs of ebbing.
People in every line of employment
| are earning top-notch wages and feel
that the present is favorable for buy
ing homes. The existing conditions,
while savOring of a boom, are far from
being uncertain, and leading real
estate men OF the city predict a
healthy and normal growth for years
to come. Locally, the business stu
alton is good, a condition produced
by the general prosperity of North
Dakota. Business interests are ex-
panding, people are purchasing homes
and erecting apartments and store
buildings. There are now in process
of construction several large struc-
lures in the downtown district. which
collectively will mount up into the
thousands.
Only two large transfers of land
were recorded during the week, but
report from the register of deeds
office shows large number of ex-
changes, varying from 500 up to
$1,000. Most of the land will be used
for residence purposes and store
buildings, while some few sales were
made of land in outlying districts to
be used for gardening purposes.
The real estate firms are over
whelmed with demands for dwelling
houses. Applications for desirable
houses in good locations are received
every day, while few dwellings are on
the market to meet the demand.
Apartments are available in sufficient
numbers to supply nearly all those
who may desire them. The usual
heavy demand for flats is reported by
renting agencies. but it is not expect
ed to continue for any great length of
time.
The majority OF the building per-
mits issued in Engineer Smiths Office
during the week were for dwelling
houses ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
Permits for the erection of few small
buildings were also issued. The appli-
cations for repairs have been large.
feOple are ANXIOUS 10 get tnelr prop
erty in shape before the cold months
of the winter are upon them and con-
tractors are rushed with work of this
sort.
Several real estate deals of large
proportions are reported in the coun-
ty J. b. Streeter, Jr., company and
George Grozier sold to Leander S.
Drew. 100 acres in Niagara township
for $4,000. Andrew T. Thalle sold 100
acres in Blooming township to Chas.

v. A. Whipple has sold section OF

sold her residence property on Eighth

Amusen1ents
"Tlle World"

The story of The World which
comes to the Metropolitan on Monday.
is a clever one. combining all the
requisites of an ideal plot, comedy,
pathos and the heart interest in just
the right proportion, blending in a
thoroughly artistic manner.
To interpret the many and diff
cult roles necessary to a complete
production. a specially chosen cast
was found indispensable and forthwith
selected, and for the mounting of the
piece the foremost scenic artist. cleo
trician and costumer of New York
were selected If any single detail
was considered desirable to add to the
perfection of the production that de-
tail was obtained, no matter what the
expense.
After record run in New York
the piece was taken for a short road
season, returning to New York for a
return engagement and then starting
its regular and first road season, left
New York for the west.
On this tour the entire original COM
pany has been taken, together with
the complete equipment and the tre-
mendous patronage given the produc-
ton throughout the country has more
than justified the management and
proven conclusively that the American
theatre going public want and will.
support melodrama if it but be the
right kind.

FARMERS See CHARIOT OF FIRE
Hunterites Witness q Most Unusual
and Startling Night. Time Scene,

The farmers living near Hunter had
a sight few nights ago which re-
minded those reverently inclined of
the chariots of fire spoken of in the
book so little read.
Two men were in the country maxi
ing some repairs to threshing rig
and when the work was finished con-
cluded to have some supper before re-
turning home, but before going in the
house for lunch they left lantern
lit on the seat of the buggy. 1t is
supposed that from the EARRING of the
vehicle to which the horses were
hitched, the lantern fell over, setting
the rig on fire. The horses ran away,
through field where some shocks
were, setting them on fire from burn
ing embers of the buggy. They fin
ally got onto the road. headed for
home, pulling the now blazing buggy
in their wake. Some of the farmers
noticed the outfit dashing along and
telephoned the owner to be on the
watch for them. They came in town
and were captured by him. Nothing
remained of the buggy except the run
ming gear.

INSURANCE RATE IS
NOT NOW ANY
HIGHER
Report of 10 Per Cent Raise
Denied by Local Agents
Really a Decrease.

There has been a very persistent
rumor in circulation about the city
that fire insurance rates had been, or
would in the near future, be materially
something like 10 per cent,
but inquiry among local insurance men
shows this to be untrue. According to
the report it was claimed that the re-
cent fire disaster in San Francisco had
depleted the treasures of the large
companies to such an extent that the
raise was made necessary, this raise
to be in effect only until such time as
the companies had been reimbursed
and were on better financial footing
Mr.. o. NJ. Hatcher, one of the local
that the report probably had its origin
from the fact that some time ago ex-
perts employed by the companies visit
ed Grand Forks and inspected all the
buildings and fire walls thoroughly.
This inspection resulted in complete
REIMBURSEMENT, but that contrary to the
report, the average rate had been re-
duced about per cent. Of course, in
some cases there were raises as high
as Is per cent, and the owners of these
buildings probably got the impression
that the raise was general throughout
the city. MIR. Hatcher thinks that the
new adjustment is very equitable one
in every respect, and states that under
the revised rules the income derived
by the company is considerable less
than before.
In some parts of the country fire
rates have been increased and in each
instance the San Francisco disaster
was given as the cause. In Philadel-
phia an increase of 10 per cent was
made following an enormous increase
OF premium receipts for the first six
months of this year over the same per-
iod of last year.

TELEPHONE CONSTRUCTION WORK
Additional Circuits Being Built Be.
tween This City and Grafton
A Pembina Exchange.

d. X. Carpenter, foreman of con-
struction on the Northwestern Tele-
phone Co., has just started a force of
eighteen men at work constructing
four more long distance circuits be-
tween this city and Grafton. At pres
ent there are in constant use five cir
cults. The work is to be completed
inside of thirty days and by that time
the company expects to have per-
feet system of lines and exchanges.
The new circuits will mean several
additional operators in the local ex-
change.
A new local exchange was opened
yesterday at Pembina and the direc-
tory book starts of with 65 names in
it. There has also been constructed
a toll line from st. Vincent to Emer-
son to connect with the Canadian Bell
Telephone Co., thus giving Grand
Forks another direct line to Winni-
peg. There are at present three dir
ect and two indirect circuits, so with
the new lines the rush of messages
ought to be handled with ease.

PATENT MEDICINE CAUSED HIS RUIN
At Least That Is What Burton. the
Bridge Victim, Stated to News.
paper Men.

c. w. Burton, the man who fell over
the Great Northern bridge early yes
terday morning to what will probably
be his death and who, as already stat
ed, is morphine and cocaine fiend,
stated to newspaper men today, when
asked as to how he acquired the drug
habit, that it was through the use of
certain patent medicine which he
began taking nineteen years ago for
a minor ailment.
Burton's entire body is a mass of
pits caused by the insertion
of hypodermic needle He is truly
in pitable condition. So terrible is
his craving for morphine that at times
it is said he inserts the hypodermic
needle through his coat sleeve or
pants leg without waiting to roll either
up.

Glorious Season.

Maple Lake and Bemidji never look
SO lovely as they from the middle of
September to the middle of Novem-
Der. The changing foliage of the trees
imparts a glorious autumnal painting
to the surrounding bluff islets and the
entire landscape. The delightfully."-
inviting water and grand boating, fish
ing and shooting at once elects Sep
TENDER and October as the favorite
months for outing and camping. As
might be looked for, many people from
this city and Crookston are still on
the grounds waiting for the last leaf
to fall.
