MARVELLOUS ADVANCE
 CONTINUES IN CITY
Builders Cannot Keep Pace With DemaHd for
 Quarters

r Despite weather that haS made WOrh outdoors during the larger part of the week impossible, laborers a portion of the time refusing to come ouu when called upon, building continues march ing ahead in the city. The activity in this line is unparalleled for this sea son of the year. while the outlook for
 the remainder of the year is already of such marked character as to assure that the marvellous changes made to the hetternlent of the city by erection Of handsome new buildings in 1905
 will be d4stanced in 1906. Prepara-
 ton of the ground on Main street for
 merly occupied by the First National
 bank building and the Azurite saloon building is going ahead as rapidly as
 possible and stately walls will soon
 arise from the debris that now marks the scene. In subway. alley workmen are making cement walls behind the Brophy, Whaley and Henniger prop critics, fronting on Main street, which will form &he rear Foundations of handsome buildings to be erected on these deep lots just as soon as the weather settles sufficiently to allow | of the Improvements being undertaken
 with assurance that they may be car ried through speedily and without in- reference from the elements. The
 putting down of the new water mains , in the street progresses slowly. The gas company is bringing the work of
 putting in its mains to more rapid { conclusion. Both jobs have been SC | riCusly inteTfered with by bad weather. lPreparation for paving will De made by Lhe contractor so soon as the streets dry sufficiently to permit of beginning work. Completed, this job
 of paving will make for vastly improv, ed conditions in the city and change the entire aspect of things on the principal streets On Railroad ave nue the contractor is using every en dearor to get the grading for the city
 hall building finished. Roads over which it has been impossible to haul IheaVy loads have deterred tnIs work Expectation now is that beginning
 may be made on the city building dur
 ing the present week. While tni:
 building is underway, it is altogether
 likely that ". H. Brophy will star
 the fine new building he proposes lerecting on the lot next to it. The Inew building to take the place of the Ipresent reading room building is an lother handsome piece of architecture 1. which will be carried out as soon as , the weather settles. Several othel , buildings are likewise awaiting change
 in weather. The erection of cottage:
 and residence properties has been heit ] up to less extent because of indictment
 weather than has work on the busi l ness blocks. In all directions tht hammer and saw send up cheery notes ] in the various residence quarters. Re gardless of this present general build
 ling and of the pace it held steadily all through last year there is no abate ment in the demand for houses ana the rental agencies in the city all have Applications booked ahead. The fac is encouraging in high degree to those , who have money with which to built
 and they are making the most of tht
 IsitEation as rule by crowding new
 houses up as fast as they can No
 few in the last several months have built houses in and about the city which at the present time are return ing them income of from sl00 to s25' month on investments of from s25O'
 to $6, 6,000. No less demand exists fol lodging accommodations, than exists for houses. Despite the large number lof new lodging houses that have beer
 built in the last year there is not 2
 lone that is not caring for all the busi : ness it can handle. Nothing coult
 better demonstrate the substantial
 growth of the city than this unabatet | demand for accommodations in busi : ness. dwelling and lodging house needs.
