majority OF the houses now fairly well rented
and II viii not be many months before the supply
Is about even with the demand. II is not likely
that the coming season will result IN large fat
house building operations in The Bronx.
WHAT THE BRONX NEEDS.
What The Bronx urgently needs is the small de-
tached one or two family dwelling house. and build
ers who have needed these calls have had no
trouble in disposing Of their properties. As yet
most of the suburban sections which comprise tbs
vast METROPOLITAN zone have not attracted the
speculative builders IN large numbers. In the next
two years however, the speculative builder who
successfully carries out each year operations In
voIving many thousands OF dollars is expected to
be unusually active in the many alluring suburban
Dlaces within easy reach OF the city
PERSONS SEEK SUBURBAN HOMES.
The great increase in hathouse rentals on Man

RECORD BUILDING OPERATIONS.
The opening OF the subway was followed by one
OF the greatest building movements ever known in
the history of the city and long stretches Of land
IN the upper or newer districts. which had long
been vacant, were quickly improved with rows and
rows Of modern aathouses. Here and there the
speculative builders. hoping for the greatest profit
from the smallest expenditure possible, erected
houses with small rooms and which cheaply
constructed. but time has proved that such strIct
profitable ventures few Of them
rented quickly the figures that the
builders expected. There is not room in the Wash
ington Heights and Dyckman sections for the
poorly built house and in view Of that fact, the
future buildings these sections will be along
best and therefore the profitable lines. Wash
ingtou Heights ano the DyCkman districts are des-
tined ne high class in every respect that
charming district just south of them. In The Bronx
the speculative builder became active after the
opening Of the subway he found difficulty IN

The discovery of a rich deposit of
cement rock on the banks of Snako

of opening up an important industry
for that part of Idaho as We'll as for
ment is destined to play an impor-
tant part in many lines within a few
years. The discoveries of the cement
deposit are arranging to install a plant
for the manufacture of high grade
cement and operations ii is expected
will commence within few months
or as soon as it is possible to ship in
the machinery and put the plant in
operation. AS an initial investment
$4,000 will be expended by the COM
pany in installing a mill capable OF

few years and in the near future we
may look for the almost universal use
OF this kind of material. The dis

of a Baltimore belle, whose wit, PRIDE

Many people who saw the college

class of Whitman college last year

season. unhesitatingly pronounced that
the college players were as good If not
better than were the members of the
travelling company. And While 1t is say
ing a good deal to suppose that in "A
Gilded Fool" Ned Barnes of this years
class. could equal Nat Goodwin when
he played the same part last year. yet
it is not saying too much to state that
Barnes is one of the cleVerest actors
the college has ever produced.
The class is working faithfully on
the play and is making good Roadway
under the tutelage of Pres. S. b. L.
Penrose, who is coaching the amateurs.
Barnes has developed even better than
his friends had hoped and the play
will be Il success if only from his eff
forts. Miss Laura Libby in the lead
ing lady's role is good, very good. And
the other characters. both important
and unimportant, have been carefully
CHOSEN and have been painstakingly
developed. so that it is safe to say that
this years play will be up to the high
standard set by the previous classes.
