There Is a good demand, however, for

~ THE BRICK FIELD.
Local contractors report building as
ViIi much embarrassed by the scarcity
~ special lines Of brick. owing 20 the
constant demands Of the shelters. The
result has been that not q few good
brick masons have left town for other
POINTS. where there Is no delay In fur
'ishing building material. and where
vases are even higher than the s. per
day that is paid IN Salt Lake. san
francisco is paying s. per day, and Of
course has the call on other cities,
where less wages arc an order How
ever. local building II continuing as
rapidly as possible under the clrcum-
stances. and contractors hope that the
brick situation win be cleared up be-
fore fall so that the eQulnoctial changes
IN the weather will not End many new
buildings without their roots on.

tons he will secure possession Of quite
a tract Of land, and lay out $4,000 or

LUMBER STILL SCARCE.
The lumber situation continues IN an
uncertain condition, principally on ac-
count 81 the scarcity ~ cars. and there
rs no telling when there will be any
relief BOO the car shortage. The crops

from that source, but IN another month
