THANKSGIVING TURKEY
soMEwHAr SHORT

II IL rather carly to begin thinking
about Thanksgiving. which will not
OCCUR for almost , month yet. but
every farmer In the country that
raises ponltry for the market Is get
ing his turkey, geese and chickens
fattened up for the great American
feast day. Commission men say that
the visible turkey crop is about as
usual this year and that prices will
be about the same as they were
twelve months ago. or something like
twenty-five or twenty y-three cents q
pound.
For good many years there has
been an increasing shortage In the
supply Of Thanksgiving turkeys in
spite Of the fact that every induce
ment, including the highest prices, is
offered to the raisers of poultry. A
number Of reasons are given for the
shortage. the principal one being
that turkeys are too hard to raise.
Then. too, there was time few
years back when the supply Of poultry
was unusually large, owing to the
fact that little Of 1t was shipped out
Of tho country, and the prices were
10 low that many farmers were dis
oouraged from raising the birds and
have never again taken 1t up.
There are, Of course, more turkeys
raised now than there we're few
years ago. said commission man in
speaking Of the situation, "but the
supply ID shorter because the local de-
mand Is heavier and q great many
moro turkeys are shipped out Of the
country every year. The export trade
Of poultry Is growing greater every
year and the suplpy for local markets
must necessarily grow smaller unless
the supply increases In proportion.

BUILDING TRANSACTIONS.
Volume in 1905 Greater Than That
in 1905.

Official reports from some fifty leading
cities throughout the United States re-
ceived by the American Contractor, New
York, and tabulated showing the building
transactions of the past year as compared
with those of 1905. are Herewith presented.
The results will prove in the nature OF a
surprise to many people and do much to-
ward reassuring those who had come to
look upon our remarkable building pros
perity as a thing of the past and prepared
themselves for substantial decline during
the present year.
The total building transactions in the
cities tabulated for the year 1905 were $o9l. i.
2S3571. a gain of $13,077.522 over those OF
1905. which stood at $57S, 205, 949. Figured
on a percentage basis this amounts to
gain of something more than per cent.
This result Is all the more gratifying De
cause 1t was not anticipated except py
those that had kept close tab ON the
building operations of the various cities,
and few Of that class, before formulating
and figuring the reports, expected bal
ance on the credit side OF the bullolns
ledger. a. .
The result clearly demonstrates that the
building movement is still with us, anu
that undiminished. That prosperity IN
building lines is as broad as the country IS
shown by the accompanying table. There
have been losses, 1t is true. but they are
widely distributed and evidently depend
upon local conditions, which argue little OF
nothing against future prospects Inc loss

not land cargoes here.
We were getting on toward the war OF
1872 and needed gunpowder. To make gun
powder we must have saltpeter. We had
been getting it from Italy and Spain, but
the embargo act stopped that. There was
no American supply of the substance.
A rowing chemist, one DR.. Samuel Brown,
had at Lexington, KY, shown how by crude
but efficient processes, saltpeter, or potas-
SUM nitrate. could be obtained from cave
earth" Wood ashes when lixiviated and
boiled with the leached product Of the fine
silt Of limestone caverns would furnish the
precious product on which depended ma
TONS life. And so the quest for caves was
begun and it was aSsiduouSly continued.
When Mammoth cave was found every
part of the great cavern was searched Tor
cave earth. From pit dome. byways. from
crystal bedecked avenues slaves carried the
heavy loads of peter dirt to the teaching
watts. Many thousands of tons OF s1il were
thus treated and the rude chemistry of the
day produced something like 10000 pounds
of saltpeter within two years.
Heaps of leached soil, scores of feet in
length, a score in height, greet the visitors
eye for the first two miles of the great ave-
nue. which the visitor enters. But these do
tons of loose rocks were to be removed and
then replied. in order that the real bottom
Of the cavern might be reached. And nearly
all of this was done with slave labor. The
compact piles of mud yet show hoof print
of patient oxen, as we'll as hub mark on
the used piles.

years Is the old, dilapidated night hawk
cab or carriage. which catered to night and
early morning trade only. A short time
ago the police got busy in rounding up
these disgraceful vehicles. and the night
hacks and cabs OF today are a vast i'm
provement over the old-timers. There is
still room for improvement in this line OF
street vehicle, however. In the last round
I'D the police condemned over twenty Of
these eyesores.
The hack regulations OF Washington are
theoretically enforced by the hack tnspec-
tor and the police. Legislation upon this
important matter Of street traffic is still de-
hcient. A law should be enacted that the
vehicles should be required to take out IL
censes subject to a favorable report Of the
police. In this event the evaders and the
violators of the regulations could be the
more quickly reached. and more marked
change in this character Of vehicles would
soon be apparent upon our streets.
"As high as one hundred arrests and trials
in the police courts have been made in q
year for various violations Of the existing
hack regulations, which bespeaks prompt
action on the part OF those charged with
keeping our streets In presentable condi-
ton as regards public vehicles. AS there
are now $50 licensed vehicles Of this kind
in the District. with only thirty-four stands
with q capacity Of about 25O vehicles, an
insufficient accommodation. the need Of leg
islation upon the subject is apparent.
This legislation should also be made to
embrace the operators OF the public motor
vehicle, whose machines may now be seen
standing around the hotels and the street
corners lettered For hire and which are
fast becoming street distractions in the
congested business centers. The police
have been active In suppressfng soliciting
