BUILDING MAY Be DELAYED
Shortage Of Material May Affect Erec.
ton Of Many Structures in State.

With the building season a few
weeks of, contractors are beginning
to worry over the difficulty OF secur-
ing lumber and other material. The
car shortage in the northwest, or
rather the traffic paralysis, due to
snow storms-and other things-has
prevented the usual shipments of lum-
Der from the coast and from the 1um-
Der regions to the central west, so
that it. is probable that building pro-
jects in the northwest will be ma
terially delayed, at least in the early
part of the summer.
Last year, taking the state as a
whole, and the nation as we'll, was q
record. breaker, in the matter of con-
struction work, especially Of business
blocks and residences. So great was
the demand for lumber from all parts
of the nation, that Ia spite Of the. in
crease in the price made by the lum-
Der trust, which, controls prices all
over. the national the supply was mad
+. eOuate. 7tY - ...t

TRAFFIC. CLOSED.
on DEMERS
BRIDGE
It Will Remain So For the
Next Two Weeks Use Ice
and South Bridges.

This afternoon the DeMers avenue
bridge was closed to trafic and will
remain so for the next two weeks.
The bridge Is closed on account OF
the placing of new bent underneath
the west approach Of the bridge. The
workmen have been busy for the last
few weeks getting the bent in shape,
and everything is now ready to put
It In place. Hugh hmbers used in its
construction have been spiked to-
gether, piles driven and just as soon
as the bridge is closed to traffic, these
will be hoisted into place. Contrac-
tor Mc1llraith of East Grand Forks
has charge Of the work under X. c.
Hunter Of Grand Forks, who got the
original contract about a year ago.
The two south bridges will now have
to be used by teamsters, and the Ice

There will be no more wide effects
in the back but some sack coats will
be cut with a dip to the front.
Lapels will be extra wide and long.
And the colors! Coruscant plaids
and rowdy worsteds will predominant.
The noiser they are the better. In
fact, if they are not noisy you might
as we'll take them home and give them
to Johnnie, the charwoman's SON
that is If you care for style.
The three-button double breasted
sack, made of wide striped herring
bone. with extra long lapels, reaching
even below the parallel Of human lat
itude, marked by the diaphragm, will
be much affected by stylish dressers.
This coat which will have no outside
breast pocket, will also be worn in
gray, blue and brown.
The very peacocky cutaway frock,
built of English worsted of turbulent
revolutionary pattern will be worn by
such business men as have the price
and the nerve.
All coats will be cut reasonably full
in front. only Englishmen like a
tight front" said Mr.. Peterson. Strange
too. Those Britishers are so chesty,
Governor Swettenham of Jamaica, for
example
And vests-oh those vests! Get out
you blue goggles! Get piece OF
smoked glass! Put up your umbrella.
The waistcoats designed for this

their intensity Ten to one there will
be riot on State street Easter Sun
day. There is one pattern in particu-
lara double-breasted nerve-hacink
affair with no collar, lapels as wide
as young elephants ears and checks
half as big as a Ugottohavea biscuit.
Then there is another,-The Fat
Mans Friend. The stripes which run
up and down, slope from the shoulder
to the waist line at such an angle
that they give chest effect that is very
much Jim Jeffries, while the abdom-
inal preponderance is almost wholly
lost sight of.
And there are others-oh, many
others. If you want an idea of what
they look like get Kaleidoscope and
send it whirling around or run past
a show window full of picture post
cards.
One Of the newest things is a silk
vest to be worn with a dinner coat.
Very thin black stripes extend hori-
zontally over glistening white back
ground. 1t has black braided pockets
and other frills and three giddy but
tons. Fortunately 1t will be worn only
in the evening. Otherwise there would
be an extra Job for the fire depart
ment.

Mother, mother, pin rose on me-"
And when mother had added this
browning touch to his get-up the
young man Of 1907 will loom up like
a night-blooming cereus in flood OF
moonlight. Satorially he will be as
spotted and striped and full of color
as a tiger lily or Oscar Wilde's
"Salome."
He will be sunrise in the Alps, :.
summer rainbow, an aurora borealis.
He will be an electrical show, torch
light procession, a Philippine village
on fire.
BY no stretch of the Imagination
could he be depicted as
"A violet by messy stone.
Half hidden from the eye"
For in his new spring and summer
toys he will flame and flare. He will
scintilate; he will radiate; he will
coruscate.
These facts have already been de-
cided upon by the Custom Cutters as
ISOLATION of America, which held its
9th annual convention at the Audi
forum hotel in Chicago.
President Frank A. Ross of Chicago
presided, and Frank Peterson of Chi
cago, manager of practical work,
showed the $50 attendant members
exactly what's what in clothes for this
season, and conducted the daily DEM
onstrations in making and fitting.
Here are some of the changes III
mems styles promulgated for 1907:
The "peg-top" trousers must go. In
stead of resembling dirigible bal
loon in the seat and shoulder OF
mutton below the knee, as heretofore
trousers this season will he cut OF
moderate width all the way down.
There will be no cuffs" on trousers
that is, they will not be turned up at
the bottom excepting for outing pur-
poses.
Mems sack coats will no longer
wave in the breeze like a wind-fapped
sail. nor will they be as long as
horse blanket. Instead, they will be
cut to length almost approaching the
"dinky" limit.
The shoulders will be squarer.
There will be waist rather than
bag effect.
Three buttons will be the limit.
Some will have only two.
