cost of building operations. The average
cost of buildings is constantly increasing,
having rlsen over three hundred dollars
during the last three " ars. The average
value of a building is given in the report
as $2,935.
Lumber is by far the greatest drain on
forests, and the wonderful development
of the country during the past decade has
called Tor the use of nearly forty million
board feet yesr. The largest quantity
ever reported for single year was tor
1905, when thirty seven and one nall
billion feet with a mill value OF $62l, ,l5l'-
3S8 was used. Including the value OF
the lath and shingles used with this
amount tt total value of the wood used
for buildings is brought up to $6o6, ,79o.'
513.
The increasing price of lumber and the
rapidly increasing use of perfected ire
proof systems of construction should
have much to do in holding down tht
amount which the forests are called uPo:
to Weld each year. but 80 far these NOR
eubstantial materials have not decreased
the lumber cut OF the nation.

The production of "A Royal

Of all the romantic dramas seen

unusual in dramatic construction
but is magnificent in its scenic

 Mrs. Laura Jackson Davids, who has been for long while one of the leading spirits in the musical life of the com munity. is spending the summer here. A number of her pupils are remaining in town, and she stayed to continue their lessons and her choir work at the South side Baptist church.

 Miss Daisy Rowley recently pre- scented to the public a plan which will do much toward forwarding the cause of music in this city. Having been teacher for number of years, she has been in a position to know many girls of marked talent, but without the financial means to cultivate it beyond a limited degree. Her scheme is to send two such girls abroad every two years; to let them have the advantage of hearing the great artists which will of course be much assistance and easy, too, as tickets can be procured at little cost in the old country also to give them the benefit of study with the great masters and the help which a musical atmosphere creates.
 There are certain requirements, how ever that will limit the choice of the girls to be sent. The two young wom-

The open meetings are in the nature of drawing room concerts and the club gives three during the season. The first last year was held with Mrs. Richard F. Johnston; the second with Mrs. J. T. Coulbourne, and the final one. with Mrs. William s. Lowell, the president.

fields for their efforts. Miss Ethel Hous- ton, whose magnificent voice was the pride of the community for years before she went abroad to study, is gratifying her friends now by her achievements. It will be remembered that she sang "Su- zuki' in Madame Butterfly here last winter and the admirable work she did. A music magazine of the month states that she has made the part, it having been of no importance at all before her handling of it. Not only her singing, but her acting in the part was superb.

Miss Edythe Walker who is singing Ortrud in "Lohengrin," was studying in Berlin during the years Miss Daisy Row ley spent there and they became devoted friends. Miss Rowley says that her voice, her intellect, her presence, all are superb. In short, she is a singer of whom America justly feels proud She loves her art and is the most energetic of women. 'T received a letter from her last summer" said Miss Rowley, ''sent from some wee little island in the Pacific. She said she had gone there for rest. found her idea of resting to mean that she was to memorize seven grand operas for the coming season, which she &C., complished while there' Miss Walker is said to be a superb linguist, speaking four languages with perfect ease.
 It is matter of pleasant anticipation to music lovers that the Apollo club has re-organzed and will give several of their delightful concerts during the win ter. The director is MT. Edward E.

There are 20 string instruments already and more to be added later. The concert director is MT. Gussen and the pianist Mrs. c. E. Bowman. The orchestra is composed of both men and women and all are good players. MT. E. Fuller Man ley is president of the club. Mrs. Bow man was the lovely Miss Westmoreland of Atlanta, and is a brilliant addition to Birmingham in a social and musical way choral society may be added later on, but at present the orchestra is the only feature.
