A steady demand for suburban homes
IS continuing in the real estate market

sire TO pay are between 81. 200 and 5000
The greatest number of Inquiries is for
cottages, modern, with four 30 six rooms
either suburban or close in. ranging in
price from s.. 500 TO 5000.
The steady demand for this class of
realty is having the effect of giving a
slight increase to the prices demanded for
properties that are salable.

realty dealers during the last week There
as been decided absence of snaps"
The market has been more active than
was. expected of the first week in Sep
tcmber.

great demand Is for three or four-room
cottages. modern. either close in or
suburban. This steady clamOr for houses
of this kind is having a tendency to in
crease the cost of rent. Cottages of three
and four rooms that rented for $40 or Sl2
a month three years ago. are I'm many
cases bringing from 10 to 20 per cent more

It is said, however, by those who pro-

It has been the senator s policy to dig
tribute a large part Of his minor pat
ronage to deserving young men from
his state who were seeking to complete
their education and who came to Wash
ington for that purpose.
On two occasions, while he was try
ing to find young man to fill one of
these minor positions, his son tempo
rarily held them down, drawing GOV
eminent pay, it is said, for less chan a
year, all told. The fact that this
charge was made in the senatorial cam
paign in South Dakota in the fall

lieve that the people are satisfied with
the explanation which was made at that

expectancy about the headquarters Of the

city,, who; are considering the question
| whether they shall on Monday next in

1t is predicted that unless the railways
accede to the demands the first Of the
new year will see one of the greatest
strikes, the city has ever known =:
If a strike is ordered it will affect all

+ It was stated that the men were to

create confusion or block the voting
will be resisted by representative Of

Scrugham said:
"The action of the New York Life
Insurance company in establishing
headquarters at the Manhattan hotel
and transporting to New York horde
of agents, ecanvassers and others, is
much to bes deplored. They certainly
do not ~Eealize ssthe feeling among the

is hoped that al local policyholdera
