Railroad fare Refunded 10 All Who Buy Land

Every purchaser of land will have his or her
entire railroad fare refunded so the trip will cost
very little If you decide to buy your farm while
here.
When the big train arrives it will be met with
our own wagons and buggies which will quickly
carry every one over the land in comfort. You
Will have every opportunity of talking with
other farmers and thus learning from their own
lips what are the ordinary profits from land
here.
You will be given the very best opportunities
to become acquainted with these farmers. You
VIII have ample time to ask them what their
crops amounted to last season. You can learn
for yourself the unbiased opinions of men who
have farmed these lands for years. You can
learn how many of them came with only a few
dollars, from rented farms in the states and now
own quarter sections, half sections and even
miles of land under cultivation.
Then after talking with these farmers and
with the business men and others in the city of
Weyburn, you can make your own decision as to
whether or not this is the one most promising
opportunity in America.

 Something of a fashionable sensation Is the sudden return of the Nelson hat. This, which resembles the cooked hat of a naval officer, placed lengthwise across the head instead of with the point in front, Is usually designed in marabout or velvet, with dainty It, tie velvet cockade and the inevitable feather on the left side.
 Coats for little girls from to 6 years are rather more simple in char acter than for three or four seasons back, but they make up in beauty of material and fin color for the scarcity of the trimming; and the prices asked for the little creations are by no means low. The soft rose tones and pastel tInts are the ones best liked for chil. dren's costumes.

rrALY's UNwRI1TEN LAW.

Milan. Jan. 9-After a trial lasting nearly three months the ASsize Court has delivered judgment in the case of Filippo CifarieIlo. which has caused a tremendous sensation throughout Italy.
 SiRnor CifarteIlo was a remarkably clever sculptor. On July 26, 1907. at Naples. he shot and killed his American wife. an ex-music hall artist. a beau tiful and charming woman. whom with good reason he had suspected of infi- delity. What Americans call the un- written law is frequently invoked and enforced in Italy, where 1t Is regarded

the first duty of a man who has been deceived by his wife to obtain speedy redress.
 Thus it happened that when the jury were asked if Cifariello, when killing his wife, was not in such a state of mind as to exempt him from complete responsibility for his action, they an- swered unanimously In the affirmative and Cifariello was acquitted
 On hearing the verdict, the people in court gave vent to ludierous demon- stration of enthusiasm. Cifarello was raptufousiy cheered. in spite of the ef- forts of the police to quell this exhibi- ton of morbid feeling.

NO CESSATION IN LOCAL
 BUILDING OPERATIONS
BY JAMES B. KEELING.

For the first five months of 1903 the amount of construction work on which building permits were Issued by Build ing Inspector Matthews doubled that of the same period in 1908, the total for 1909 passing the million dollar mark.
 The totals of the permits issued were as follows:
 Janury 1 to May S1. 1909. s1,O7S,27s; Jan uary 1 to May S1 1908, $5S1 056. Increase, 1903, $547.225.
 May, 1909 $242.OS7; May, 1908, $116.99O. Increase, 1909, S125, ,O97.
 From this 1t is easily to be seen that Birmingham Is in the midst of a build ing boom with prospects, pointing to great activity in the construction line for some time to come. Ground is being broken every day in some part of Greater Bir- mingham for the erection of good, sub stantial business buildings or dwellings, while every architect and contractor in town Is figuring on still others. Handlers of builders supplies have been unusually busy during the past few months while the wise ones are making preparations to meet an even larger demand.
 That the boom is a healthy one is shown by the large number of business houses, ranging in cost from $lb,0O0 to $40OO0, that are either in course of con- struction or upon the plans of which the architects are working. The amount of school and public building construc- ton under way or being planned also speaks well for conditions. Dwellings are also going up in good numbers, the sub urbs being especially active In this re- spect. More attention Is being paid to the artistic appearance and neatness or the work generally in these new resi- dences than has been the rule for the past few years and this bids fair to make Birmingham truly the city beauti- full.
 First avenue will present busy con struotion scene for the next few months Permits have been issued to J. C. den- ley for the erection of a building at lslO First avenue at a cost of $19,0O0. An other building at an even larger cost than this is soon to be started in this block, while it is rumored that still another one is to go up
 The southwest corner of First avenue and Twenty first street. which has been vacant lot since the fire which de- stroyed the old building there some three years ago, will soon be graced by an- other splendid building. Out at First avenue and Twenty-fourth street the Ar mour Packing company's building is un- der way, while the seven-story Chamber of Commerce building at First avenue ard Nineteenth street and the 1e-story Empire building at First avenue and Twentieth street are rapidly nearing com pletion.
 At Third avenue and Twentieth street the nine-story Farley building is nearly completed Other buildings are also be- ing planned for Third avenue. R. w. Massey is putting up building on Iwen- ty-frst street, between Fourth and F1ftn avenues. On Fifth avenue between Twen- ty- first and Twenty-second streets the Age e-Heralds new building Is in course
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-13

, of construction, while work will be start cd within a few days on the new build
 ing to be occupied by Shaw & Son, un-
 dertakers, just across the street. There
 are a number of other business build- ings under way while architects are work ing on plans for a dozen more.
 The city of Birmingham will shortly be- gin work on over s100,000 worth of school | improvements. The addition to the Lake view school will cost s25,0OO while the ad- dirions to the Martin school Ullman school and South Highlands school will | each cost about the same.
 Another plan which the Board of Esdu-
 cation is working upon is the changing of the Paul Hayne grammar school into | a high school. The proposition is to tear down the old part of the school and erect | a splendid annex in it's place. This. 1t is | believed, would solve the High school
 problem, and if the plans carry right
 work will be started on it within a short while.
 | The suburbs are also busy putting up | handsome schoolhouses and public build | ings. Ensley and East Lake will soon | start work on two or three school build ings, each of which will average around | $25GO0 in cost. West End has just started work on an $S5 GOO school building, while a $1OO00 city hall and S10,00O Carnegie h- l brary building have also been started ! within the past two weeks.
 Statistics given above are only for Bir- , mingham proper. Should the totals for | the work being done in the number of
 small municipalities comprising Greater 1 Birmingham be included an amount would
 he shown which would compare wlen | the amount of work being done in cities
 having over 600,000 population. So far
 as percentage of increases is concerned | Birmingham is right with the leaders, | having led the list several times during | the past few months.
 If the old saying, "A great amount of | construction work shows good times, '
 be true, then Birmingham must be en-
 toying the best times possible, for every
 where one turns the sound of the hammer
 and saw and the refreshing odor of new | sawn lumber greets him. Times look
 mighty good to the architects and they're
 in a mighty good position to judge.
