In its issue Of last week the I,nnrove-

general business conditions. = :
1t finds promise that fall building
will hold up well.
In part the Bulletin says:
1.-The crop conditions, while SLIGHTLY
less favorable than a month ago in some
respects, are still holding forth desir-
able conditions, and promise a good re-
turn and an abundance of money for
general distribution throu the various
channels which are all dependent, upon
the producer, ultimately. IL
Inc more commonplace building
operations are progressing well, with
comparatively little change to note,
The building reports and the accounts
OF new work, either contracted or
planned, showed good steady volume,
with less falling off than is customary
at this time. On tho contrary the in
dlcat1ons are that the fall building will
mold up. we'll, and will be as heavy as
ever, IT the weather conditions are
favorable to building.

that remedy for cancer was now pos

DR.. Schmidt has been experimenting
with the remedy, which has given good
results, but apparently a cure is only
possible when the case is little adj

CONTRACTS ON PERCENTAGE
Leading Builders Favor Plan as It OBJ
vates All Disagreements.


The percentage basis for contracts is
an agitated subject just now in build
ing ing circles k:, and ar among persons expect,
discussed by the Inland Architect, in
which it says: e e St3..
'An architect whose practice is
large, stated recently that for the last
ten years all contract work awarded by
him had been on a percentage basis
figured on the actual cost of all mate
rial and labor that went into the work
The results of his long and large ex.
perience have convinced him that this
method is much more satisfactory than
to let contract for a given sum. He
1inds that while the owner has no con
tract in advance for the completion of
the building at fixed price, the ex
penditure is always within his control
and verifcation is possible whenever
desired. - ...- ...,sS#
"Itemized bills for material and labor
are rendered from time to- time. and he
has the satisfaction Of knowing the
amount and kind of supplies that arc
being used in his building. The always
annoying item of extras is eliminated
and changes required during the prog
Least possible expense. The owner feels
thruout that his interests and his alone
| are paramount: There is no temptatfou
on the part of the contractor, to use
| cheaper materials than are specified
nor to slight the work, as he is assured
OF fair profit. j.
"The contractor. by the percentage
plan is not liable for unexpected ad
| yances in prices, nor for penalties for
delay. There are avoided all the un.
certa1ntles and risks that are ever pres.
ent with lump sum contract, and the
contractor is free in mind to- push the
work at every point in furtherance of
the quick completion Of the building
and the best interests of the oHner
inc contractor would not likely at

EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD
KEEP TAB ON EXPENSES
Man Who Crumbles Taxes and Make. No Effort
to Discourage Extravaganza Should Keep STILL Says
C. L. Sawyer-City Constantly Grows and Must Have
More City Conveniences ..

Whether these will continue to be in
favor for any length Of time remains
to be seen. They seem to appeal to the
average tenant better than the larger
structure, and they also offer TO the
man OF moderate means an opportunity
for investment which is denied in the
larger building by reason of it's greater
cost. The smaller structures lack many
OF the objections to apartment build.
lngs, and contain many of the features
" hich are desirable in individual houses
The demand for brick during the
past two months has been considerably
In, excess OF the. ability of most of the
common brick yards to supply. Many
Of them are well sold ahead, and are
fervently hoping for good weather dur
ing the remainder Of the season that
they may get caught up. Pressed brick
are selling well at a steady market
price.
There seems to be no limit to the
number of uses to which concrete can
be- put, and new applications are de.
veloping daily. Crushed stone for max
ing concrete is in greater demand con-
stantly, and nearly every building of
any consequence has some contrete in
its construction.
'Cement is firm in price, with a
slight advance over month ago, and
the supply is none too great at any
time, owing to the steady demand.
:Stone quarries are finding an ex-
cellent season, as the trade in cut stone
has been exceptionally good, and all
are busy. Stone for street curbing, fol-
trimming, for building and foundation
work, all contribute to make good de.
mand. A good deal of out-of town
work has been taken by cut stone con
tractors, at good prices. ~

FREIGHT RATES UNJUST,
DECLARE THE SHIPPERS
Discrimination in Favor of Frisco
Charged by Denver-Fruit
Men Protest.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Discrimina-
tons and unjust rates are the charges
filed with the interstate commerce com
mission today against many of the i'm
portant lines Of railroads of the coun-
try by shippers. Two complaints, each
involving important points for the con-
sideration of the commission. were
placed on file and it is likely that both
will result later in hearings.
In the first case the Merchants Traf-
fic association of Denver complains that
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company and all of the i'm
portant lines Of railway doing business
between the northern Atlantic coast and
the Pacific coast discriminates against
Denver merchants and iobbers in favor
Of those of San Francisco and other
Pacific coast points in the matter of
freight rates.
It is alleged that the defendant COM
panies exact rate on calico and some
similar merchandise from Atlantic coast
points to San Francisco and other Pa
cifc coast points of 81 per hundred
pounds on carload lots and $3.50 per
hundred on less than carload lots; wher-
as to Denver and Colorado common
points they charge $1.79 per hundred,
with no reduction for carload lots.
Frisco 9oc; Denver $1.79.
On other clauses on merchandise, such
as cotton sheetings, cotton duck, ETC.,
the defendants charge rate Of 80 cents
per hundred on carload lots and $1.35
pei, hundred for a less amount than a
carload, while the rate on the same
goods to Denver and Colorado common
points is $1.79 per hundred, irrespective
of amount.
The second case involves the freight
rates charged by southern roads for the
shipment Of fruit to the northern mar
kets. The complaint is brought by J.
J. Waxetbaum & Co., fruit commits
sion merchants of Macon, Ca, and all
of the railroads in the south which have
northern connections are made defend
ants.
Private Car Protest.
The complaints allege that the rate
on peaches, for instance, from Macon
and Atlanta are IS cents per hundred
pounds to Washington and Baltimore
and 81 cents per hundred to Philadel-
phia and New York. They aver that
these rates are unjust and unreasonable
and that fair rate would be So cents
cents to Philadelphia and New York.
It is alleged that the rate on peaches
from Macon and Atlanta is only 5S15
cents to Buffalo and So cents to Pitts
burg, altho the distance to those cities
is much greater than that to any of
the four cities first named.
The compliments also allege that
they are Inconvenience by the de-
mands of the private car company,
which operates the refrigerator cars,
and that they are forced to pay ex-
cessive charges for refrigeration. They
say the refrigeration charges are 1919
cents a crate, while 9 cents a crate
would be fair. They aver, too, that it
is the duty of the defendants to furnish
the refrigerator cars and not to farm
out that business to private company
and compel shippers to make two con-
tracts for the shipment Of goods Of
that kind
