HOUSE VALUES In MORRISTOWN
A Consideration of Improvement Val
ues-Rents Too High.

A Consideration of Improvement Val
ues-Rents Too High.
The real estate agents are agreed that
Morristown needs more houses. There
is a constant demand for houses rent
ing for thirty-fve dollars per month
and down from persons who desire to
come here from the cities and else
where which it is utterly impossible to
fill. Houses which would rent for a
thousand dollars year are also need
ed, possibly twenty of them, at once.
Agents say that they might as well &c
out of business, for there is nothing to
show customers who come here or who
write for information.
One well-known agent was recently
talking about the matter and stated
thai the idea prevalent that the prices
of real estate will advance when the
sewers are in working order is errone-
Gus, as the owners have discounted any
advance which might be expected.
owners ask MIN, ne SAID, III the addl-
tion of a bathroom would increase the
rent but he says, no, for the addition
al baths are demanded and must be
put in to hold the rent where it is.
There are, Of course, many houses
for sale; but, as an agent asked what
are they? Most of them are old and
needing repairs and large price asked
for them, or else house too large for
it's location, or something like that.
1t certainly seems as if somebody
should get busy and build some mod
ern houses, not only for the return
from the investment, but also to help
along the interests of the town.

The Latter Pianos

In purchasing piano it is we'll
to secure the instrument that most
completely satisfies your ideal in all
respects, for no article that you are
likely to own can give SO much salts
faction if good or SO much annoyance
if bad. A piano should be constructed
along lines that will insure artistic
tone and certain durability.
In the Lauter factory we take
pains to insure perfect workmanship
in every slightest detail in every de-
partment. We have organized our
factory force on the basis of the high
est possible standard. We have be-
come the shrine of the piano in
dustry on matters of technical exact
ness and precision in construction.
In the Lauter Piano we believe
that we produce musical instrument
that has no superior; we think that in
several respects it has no equal. In
beautiful quality Of tone, in power and
resonance, in balance Of scale and in
artistic appearance the Lauter Piano
is an instrument that compels the ad-
miration of the most exacting.
We are always pleased to have
visitors at our factory. We like to
demonstrate how perfectly every de-
tail is worked out and put in place.
We are proud Of many of our methods
and contrivances that make for dura-
bility. We think we go to greater ex-
tremes in this matter than any other
manufacturer.

inces and will readily pass them in commercial returns when her addi- tional matchless stores of mineral and other wealth are taken into consideration. But the reason that the new Canadian provinces four ish today is that the Canadian government has taken hand in the development of the country by providing for the entrance of set tiers and colonists without undue expense to the individual. The government aided the railroad and surveyed the land.
 The conditions for the acquire ment of homestead in Canada are far eas eg than in Alaska. In Can. ada it is possible for man and three sons, the youngest of whom is IT years of age, each to take up & quarter section at trifling ex- pense, build a house for all on one quarter section, do the required six months improvement work on each for three years, and at the end of that time obtain crown grants for all four quarter sections. In Alas ka, while conditions are very lib. eral, a man taking up homestead of 320 acres must do improvement work for five years before obtaining title, though he is privileged at the end of the first year to have 160 acres surveyed at his own expense, and by paying $1.25 per acre ob- tain full right.
 Alaska needs railroads, and is going to have them. It remains for congress to decide whether the transportation in the new country shall be carried on under similar conditions to those existing in the States, and which have made Am. erican railroad franchises 6 by word among nations, or whether profting by past experience, its senators and representatives, rec ognizing their opportunity. shall see to it that they set before th. world an example of what can be done by legislative wisdom intelli gently applied to transportation problems.
