The Union Pacific headquarters and sew
eral large wholesale buildings are planned
and numerous business structures Of mod
crate size will be erected, but the home
building movement is expected TO be much
greater than in 1906.
This belief is based on the fact that
building operations are not abated by the
cold weather and on the inquiry regarding
material at the offices of the local lumber
firms.
our books indicate there will be a
greater demand for lumber in 1907 than for
many years." said George w. Platner Of
the Cady Lumber company.
Ordinarily there is not much inquiry on
lumber at this time of year. but the sit
uation is entirely different this season. We
are figuring lumber bills every day for
people who will build as soon as spring
opens. Here are nine different jobs fig
ured on our books this morning and all Of
them came in between 4 and o'clock Mon
day afternoon. OF course these are not

Advances in Many Prices.
This bright prospect obtains in spite Of
the advance made in the year 1906 in many
lines of building material. Lumber itself
has not increased in price at all this year,
according to the statements of the dealers
and contractors. but many other materials
have gone up by leaps and bounds. About
sixty days ago plumbing and heating ap-
paratus was advanced 20 per cent, brass
fixtures IS per cent, bath tubs and all
enamel ware III per cent. Builders hard
ware has gone up Sc per cent in 1906, while
window glass has advanced so rapidly
through the year that builders cannot Ike, p
tab on it.
Lumber scored its big advance in 1906.
This year some articles in the line are
trihe lower than then and some a trihe
higher. but on the whole the price Is about
the same as last year. Such advances as
have been made are on fTa hardwood
millwork lumber and wnl not affect the
majority OF home builders. LAth are loYec
than year ago. Plaster is lower. Struc-
\ tural iron, brick and stone run at about
the same price as last year.
Any increase in the cost of building for
| 1907 over 1906 will come in the advance in
plumbing and heating apparatus. nails,
glass and hinges and other accessories.
