There will be no currency legislation at

that legislation IS out of the way no ef-

A statement to this effect was made
by Representative Weeks OF Massachu-

House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, Of the Monetary Commission
which IS investigating banking laws in

has ample power TO consider not only
the currency system but the entire

and it will have carefully considered

moment If the tariff had not been un-

no doubt that the Monetary Commission
would have been ready to report at the
coming session Of Congress but owing
to many members being intimately oc-
cupied with tariff matters, it has been

work this summer.
"It is. therefore, probable that re-

BUILDS HOUSE
IN GIANT STUMP

A unique residence is owned by
John Seivert, at Seattle. Seivert went
there several months ago from Iowa.
He had little money and a large fam
lily. Because Of the great boom he
was unable TO find an empty house.
Seivert resolved TO build one OF his
own so bought an unimproved lot in
the northern part Of the city in dis
trict where logging operations ceased
but year ago.
Going out TO see his property and to
plan his house he found half the lot Oc-
cupied by a gigantic stump Of a former
giant cedar tree. The stump was over
80 feet high and is feet in diameter
and 10 feet above the ground.
Sewer took an auger and saw and
;vut out seven -foot-high section from
/ the south and walked into his stump
Tho walls were found to be 10 inches
/ thick and the whole stump was hollow
shell. Seeing in the interior of the
stump a quick refuge for his numer-
Gus children, he cut out windows in
/ like manner as he had made the door.
He laid a tight floor and made q cell
ing Of planlling and flooring.
Cut Another Door.
With a ladder he cut another door
10 feet above the ground. went inside
and made the windows for the second
story. The third story was construct
ed and a tight roof of ship lap and
shingles made over the stump.
Sewer has seven fat healthy chill
dren and a wife. and when he finished
he had ample room for them all. The
roof was penetrated by a drain pipe
each section tightly cemented, and
connecting the range with "a good draft
above. The actual cost OF the home
was a little more than $40.
The dimensions Of the first floor are
II feet in diameter and feet high
The second story is feet high and Il
feet in diameter. The third story is Il
feet in diameter and IS feet high, SC
that a fourth story might easily bC
erected.
Seivert peeled off the bark from tho
stump and washed II white. lie paint
ed the stump a light green and the win
dow and door frames pure white. The
whole makes a pretty home.
So unique Is the idea and so neat
is the carpenter work on the rusti,
lporches and stairways that Seivert ha.
been offered S2500 for his home. Ii,
says he never will sell because he wa,
given the place by God.
The story of the remarkable hous,
attracted so many visitors that tn,
Seattle Electric Company has built ;
street-car line to the spot, and stree
cars leave the door Of Seivert's hous,
every five minutes. The cars run tn,
length Of the city and bear the queer
Inscription: Cedar Stump Homestead.
Seivert jckingly says his doorway wi.
be in the midst of fashionable dwell
ings in a year or two.
