HOME BUILDERS
KEEP MARKET, ACTIVE
Every Corner of City Is Favored by Peopleof Small
Means Who Buy Lots and Piecemea Erect Home
Tendency Is Marked, but Generally Escapes Notice Of
Capitalists and Business Men, s...@

chasers were streetcar employees, some
of whom had headquarters three or four
miles away, and laboring men, all pos
sessed with desire to get a home, and
at the same time to take advantage
Of the low prices which probably will
never be seen. again on land within the
present city limits.
On the lots sold by this firm twenty
five houses have been built by the lot
buyers, all Of them as modern as the
chosen location would permit and the
capital at hand would allow.
It is this phase Of the real estate
market and this feature of the build
ing situation which is escaping the
attention of the croaker who deprecates
the slowness Of the market, and the
capitalist who will not buy real estate

take the trouble to investigate, this
will be found the most prominent and
the most satisfactory feature Of the
city's growth today. It lis a founda-
ton on which great things will be built
for Minneapolis Students Of political
economy are the most able to expatiate
on the situation, but the hardheaded
business man understands, if he cannot
express why, that home owners make
better cities. 60 80. ....@- E.''.I,t.,-

Fortunately there still remain tracts
which can be sold at low prices, when
divided into lots, and on terms that are

low terms liz proving q veritable saw

pie who had never availed themselves
Of the privileges of a savings bank.
Other parts Of, the city which are
settled in a similar manner are prov

The tract east. of the Minnehaha car
line may be cited as an instance Of the
increase of values, Lots there sold low
at one time, and now a small colony OF
good houses has sprung up and: the
neighborh hood is growing constantly.

Iowa City, May 22.-In the district
court during the past week, the case OF
the United National Bank of
Providence, r. l., VS.. The Simplex
Manufacturing Company of this city,
has furnished some interesting testi-
,nony for persons interested in the sale
or purchase of jewelry. The Simplex
company purchased of firm of man
ufacturers in Providence $4,000 worth
of jewelry of certain specified grade.
After receiving the goods IL was dis
covered that they We're not according
to specifications and the Simplex COM
nany refused to meet the notes they
had gisen in payment. The United
National Bank of Providence. which
is alleged to have purchased them sued
on the notes and the Simplex company
filed a counter claim. During the
course of the trial Professor Dryden,
an expert metalologist, who had exam
ined the jewelry, testified that it con-
tanned about per cent Of gold and
silver the balance being baser metals.
The case is being contested bitterly,
and it is thought will run thru the
balance of the week. The plaintiff
has brought experts from Providence
to testify as to the quality of the goods.

MANY lNsuFFIclENTLY PAID
Law Would Also Contemplate at
Least Eight Months of School Work
in the Year-ohio Has Such Law,
and State Treasury Will Make UP De-
ficit in All Districts.
Special to Tines Republican.

Des Moines, May 22-There is pos
be asked to pass a law providing O.
minimum wage to be paid to school
teachers in the public schools of the
state, and fixing also minimum school
year. The proposition is to place on
the statute books law requiring that
all public school teachers be paid not
less THIN $40 month, and that IN
every school district there be not less
than eight months school The plan
meets the ideas of large number of
educators who have for years been ad-
vocating that school teachers are not
paid sufficiently The agitation OF the
subject of underpaid teachers has had
some little effect in raising the salaries
of teachers, but it is feared that 1t Will
he MANY wears before the increase is
ADEQUATE, and in the mean time the
schools are suffering in the quality OF
teachers. A minimum of $40 for every
teacher would guarantee raising of
the standard of teaching in the schools
OF the state. ne SUBJECT may w
brought up at the next state conven-
ton of the Iowa Teachers Association
and discussed there. Ohio has recently
passed such a law, and the provision is
made that If the amount of money
raised in the school district is not suffi-
cient to pay that amount per month,
the balance may be drawn from the
state treasury. There are many coun-
ties in Iowa where not single school
district pays as much as $40 month
The average in many is less than $40
month and that for only six oA.seven
months which makes small amount
for a teacher to live on. In Poweshiek
county, which is county largely OF
country schools, there is one teacher
paid s65 a month to teach township
high school The record in the other
schools of that county are as follows:
Eight teachers are paid s3S month
seven s36. thirty -eight S35, twelve 1874
seven 500, twelve $32. one $31. thirty
six $50, one s2s. and one s27. This
makes an average of $33.40 a month.
