Tenth Street Lots Purchased for I'm
mediate Improvement.

Theodore F. Curtis has just bought
two parcels of real estate from the
Levi Cook estate thru the agency OF
David P. Jones & Co. for 5000 cash.
One is the northwest corner Of Fifth
avenue s and Tenth street, measuring
Ito by 220 feet. The other is a quar-
ter acre on the north side of Ninth
street, between Third and Fourth ave-
nues s. The sale allows sixty days
for the removal of the wooden build
ings.
# Mr.. Curtis will demonstrate his faith
in Minneapolis by improving the prop
serty. He leaves tonight for Los Ange-
les, to return about May l.
Curtis Court has proved a good in
vestment and a popular apartment
house, and the Improvement at Tenth
and Fifth avenue will likely be after
the same style, adapted from Mr.. Cur
It's Los Angeles architecture.
Mr.. Curtis later investments have
been in the neighborhood Of Tenth and
Fourth avenue s and the improveme
have been in the form Of, the apartment
house. In years past Mr.. Curtis in
vested his money in development o.
the Lake Calhoun region and the cree
| ton Of cottages with individual archi
lecture lead which has been fol
lowed ever since. #

Of the wall. a: rough-cast finish is given
and the whole presents pleasing va
riety, building which will defy time
and calamity by fire.. ..
This supposes the floors and parti-
lions to be freproof, as in fact they
are, and the floors, not requiring the
heavy construction Of a commercial
building, are carried on "Nest'
beams Of iron, an entirely new method
Of construction, which eliminates the
heavy I beam with it's intrusion upon
the ceilings, and usually when it is
not wanted, the beams being entirely
within the thickness Of the floors and
Of surprising rigidity. Quite as i'm
portant as their retirement within the
surfaces of the floor and ceiling is the
fact that they are built up by the
"Village Blacksmith, who easily
constructs them to meet the required
conditions of the often very varied
spans between. the outer walls and the
partitions. They will prove a great
boon to the contractor outside Of the
large cities where I beams may not
be had just when they are needed. :

"All the streets are paved with as

is that the pavement shall come up to

~ EFRESHED from a climb to the
TX lofty heights Of Kansas City,
l. - the real estate men Of Mime
apolis returned Saturday, thoroly
pleased with that city and greatly sat
isfed with Minneapolis.
It is the universal expression that the
last is the best junket the real estate
board ever had. Leavened with a few
from Duluth and St. Paul, the party
was jovial crowd Of men interested in
the same pursuit, all looking for a good
time and pointers on real estate. En-
thusiasm was engendered on the jour
ney with much left over for Kansas
City. It developed that one of the big
Kansas City firms, which had dropped
out of the local exchange, while the
Minneapolis board was there, rejoined.
While Kansas City is ahead Of Min
neapolis, ): in many points, no such great
discrepancy in business values was dis
covered as expected. Kansas City has
had some great sales, but the real es-
tate men believe that similar corners
in Minneapolis probably would have
sold nearly as high.
In the residence district it is differ
ent. Lots bring 500 a foot, where in
Minneapolis $15 would be fair aver
age.
Kansas City Is Clean.
But the clean city pleased the Mime
apolitans The business district they
did not find SO different, altho a build
ing boom is on in properties around the
new union station, but the home centers
they found spots Of beauty and full Of
suggestions to man looking for point
ers to bring home. I.

WARM BUT
NOT HOT
WEATHER FOR WEEK AS GIVEN
FROM THE CHEYENNE OFFICE
OF WEATHER BUREAU.
Maximum Temperatures over Most OF
the state Were Above Eighty De-
grees on Nearly Every Day-Lit-
tie Rainfall Recorded, Some Sec
tions Having None Whatever.

The general summary Of the wealth
er bulletin for the week ending July
90, as sen to this Office this morning
by W.. S. Palmer, section director at
Cheyenne, was as follows:
Weather for the Week.
The weather of the week was char
acterized by a marked change from the
cool and showery weather which had
been prevailing over much of the state
during the three preceding weeks, and
although the mean temperature for the
state for the week averaged but slight
ly above the normal, the weather was
very warm when compared with that
which had been prevalent during the
first weeks of the month.
Above Eighty Degrees.
Maximum temperatures over most of
the state were above so degrees on
nearly every day, and minimum tenn
peratures ranged from about 40 de-
grees to 60 degrees. At most places,
maximums reached 80 degrees, and at
Newcastle, a maximum Of 81 degrees
was recorded on the 21st.
Devoid of Rainfall.
Clear and dry weather characterized
the week throughout the entire state,
and at many points no rainfall was re
corded during the week; some light
local showers occurred at scattered sta
lions, but at no place in the state was
the rainfall heavy.
Albany County Notes.
From the letters from the CORE
spondents of the bureau in Albany
county, the following extracts are
printed:
Laramie-Fair weather prevailed
during the week, with no appreciable
rainfall after the 18th. Maximum tenn
peratures ranged from 6S degrees to
50 degrees and minimum tempera-
lures from "A degrees to 80 degrees,
the maximum for the week being re-
corded on the 2Cth n 21st, and the
minimum on the 18th.
Moore-Week was warm, with no
rainfall after the 14th, but light show
ers, amounting to .2S of an inch, fell on
the 18th and 14th.
Centennial-The week was clear, dry
and very hot, making finest f~ruit-grow-
ing weather of the season.
Data For Laramie.
From the temperature table of the
bulletin the following concerning Lara
mic were given:
Week ending July 81, mean tempera'
ture, So degrees; highest, so degrees;
lowest, A degrees; total rainfall, .04
inch.
, 1906-07-26
If You Have Friends

or relatives coming to Laramie, be sure
their tickets read over the Union Pa
cihc. A long journey mean extra ex-
penss for meals and incidentals, and
a waste of valuable time en- route. Why
have your friends incur unnecessary
expense or delay in travelling via cir
cuitous routes, when you can ride in
the finest train-on a perfectly ballast
ed track-over a direct road?
The fast trains of the Union Pacific
reach all principal points many hours
ahead Of all competitors. Via the Union
Pacific 1t is twelve hours shorter to
Omaha than any other line. Inquire of

DY FARM SUCCESS IN
THE CITY OF LARAMIE

Between the telegraph Office and the
south entrance to the rolling mil
grounds, between the tracks of yart
and without the possibility of artificial
irrigation of any sort, there are grow
ing several punches of rye grass, now
in full head, some of the stems reach
ing nearly six feet high, showing in
practical way what can be done here
The punches are an exceptionally fine
specimen of this grass, according tt
Prof. Buffum, who went on purpose t.
see them yesterday.
