BUILDING BOOM BEGINS
IN LOUISIANA METROPOLIS

New Orleans; La, July 20.-It be-
gins to look as if New Orleans was
about to experience building boom
beside which all building f1urries in
the past will sink into insignificance.
People all over the city seem pos
sessed with one great idea, and that
is to build better and more modern
homes.
Already lumber has risen in price
under the greatly increased demand
and there is also greatly increased
inquiry for labor which has resulted
in raising wages and in putting men at
work, who for several months past,
have found it difficult to get work
even at low wages.
Some contractors have more jobs on
hand than they can properly attend to
and few of them, within the last few
days, have turned down contracts
which came their way unsought.
The homestead associations are de
luged with inquiries from home build
ers and are unable to supply the de
mand for money. One homestead is
reported to be twenty-eight buildings
behind among it's members, that is, il
cannot find the money to put up thai
number of buildings for which plans
have been drawn.
Yesterday it was announced by sew
eral contractors that the day of rea
cheap building had passed and thai
from now ON bids would be higher fol
the simple reason that lumber has ad
vanced. All grades of cypress have
been advanced five dollars thousand
feet by the mills and factories in the
so-called combine and the pine manu-
facturers have also made a raise bu
just how much could not be ascer
tanned today.
There is probably larger demand
for building lots on the outskirts O

Over Thirty-Five Years.

In 1872 there was a great deal Of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. 1t
proved more successful than any other
remedy or treatment, and has for thir
ty-five years maintained that record.
From a small beginning its sale and
use has extended to every part of the
United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out of ten
recommend it when their opinion is
asked, although they have other medi.
cines that pay them greater profit.
1t can always be depended upon, even
in the most severe and dangerous
cases. For sale by Hays & Field and

the city than was ever known before.
Many people are taking up the Mt. .
York idea of working in the city and
living amid semi-country surrounding
and, in consequence, houses are going
up where houses have not been built
in years. On Thursday the founda-
lions were laid for country home in
the tract of land known as Parkside
on the Shell Road, next to Oakland
Park. This land is only seventeen
minutes from the business portion of
the city and promises to build up rap
idly, now that the first house is going
up.
The cause of the increase in build
ing is said to be due to two things
the good crops that are being raised
this year which are making the whole
state prosperous and the growing be-
lief that the biggest advance in values
in real estate that the city has ever
known has yet to come. Many people
are buying and building now because
they believe that in another year or
two land in locations they like will be
| beyond their means.
If money was more plentiful build
| ing operations wiuld double, accord
ing to those who are watching the
situation carefully. 1t is claimed
that but few of the homestead asso.
Citations can get all the money they
want form the banks. The latter
have to finance the immense crop
now growing and cannot give the
building associations the accommo.
dations desired
The boom is putting many skilled
workmen at work at good wages and
steady work and good wages among
workingmen on top of the best crops
the State has known in years point
to better financial times on Louisiana
than even the most optimistic hoped
for during the coming winter.

There is not single Democratic
United States Senator now in Congress
from these twelve States and hardly a
dozen Democratic Representatives This
is mentioned to emphasize what a pc
litical overturning there must be in
November if these twelve States are to
furnish the eighty-four electoral votes
which Bryan must have with his 15s
votes in the solid South to be
If it should develop that he has even
a fighting chance of carrying New
York-the best judges believe he has
not-the winning of the fortyfve re-
naming votes necessary would not
seem such an impossible task, espe-
cially when it is granted that he will
have about an even chance in Indiana
and also in Nebraska, particularly in
the latter State if the labor men and
the railroad men support him as they
are now indicating an inclination to
do.
For even if the remaining eight
States in the electoral college, all in
the West, are seriously disaffected-
from the Republican standpoint-and
if Bryan should carry most of them
the total would be comparatively small
They are the transmissouri States, as
follows:

The only one of these eight States
that can be counted as Democratic
from its political record to date is
Nevada. 1t has the only Democratic
Representative in Congress from west
of the Missouri River. It has one

cratic colleague from that same section
comes from Colorado.
The columns show what very up
hill fight there is ahead of Mr. BRYAN,
although, of course, the present polit-
zeal complexion of States was made in
the Roosevelt presidential year of 1904

when stirring appeals were made to
voters to uphold him in his policies.
On the other hand. if Taft can hold
his IA electoral votes in the more con

MARINE

The Alameda, after fine trip of
less than six days, arrived off port early
yesterday morning bringing very
large number OF passengers, over one
hundred sacks OF mali and a good sized
freight The San Francisco ferry was
greeted by a small crowd at the wharf
as she was earlier than usual and came
to dock about an hour ahead of the
regular time The Alameda had some
rough weather the first day and night
out of port and the day before arrival
high seas were encountered The days
in between were fine, however, and two
dances were held, the sixtythree cabin
passengers. of whom many were ka
maainas, entering into the spirit of the
functions with zest. The Alameda cele
brated the Fourth of July by sailing
from San Francisco just before noon.
According to the bookings she will be
as full going up as she was coming
down.
Following the Alameda the U. s. s.
Culgoa entered port and took
the place of the Panther at the navy
dock. In the evening the Arethusa ar
rived and anchored. She will await
orders and may not come in as she is
bound for Lahaina to supply the yes
sells there with water She will return
to the Coast from here. The Relief,
the hospital ship which was the last to
leave San Francisco, is expected to ar
rive today.

THE WEST THE,
BATTLE-GROUND
Continued from Page one,

ticians are making of territory where
the presidency must be won.
1t is pretty generally understood that
each state has one vote for each of it's
two United States Senators and one for
each of its Representatives in the Ma
tionaf House. These votes make up the
electoral college, which chooses, once in
every four years, a President and a
Vice President. There are now 90 Sen.
ators and 391 Representatives, and the
electoral college this year will comprise
1873 votes. The winning ticket must
have at least 242 votes. This is the
largest electoral college the country
ever had, the state of Oklahoma, with
seven votes, having been admitted
since the last presidential election.
The National chairmen, at the very
outset, will eliminate about three ffths
of those votes from their calculations.
approximately 15S votes, or a tritle
more than half of these three ffths,
will be conceded to Mr.. Bryan, the
prospective Democratic nominee The
Democrats may not cOncede quite as
generously to their opponents, but the
