No EMPTY HOUSES
AVAILABLE HERE
1T HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT
COMMERCIAL CLUB SHOULD
ACT UPON PRESENT CONDI-
TIONS IN CITY.

For years it has been difficult to
secure an empty house in this city,
and this spring, despite the fact that
there were several hundred new
houses erected during the past sea-
son, newcomers here cannot secure
place to stay. During the past sew
eral weeks there have been numer
Gus families come into the valley
with the expectation of locating here
but they have been up against the
house problem. Conrad Rose, Geo.
H. Ellis and other citizens expect to
build number of cottages here DUR
ing the season but these are not
available now. 1t is known that 4
number of people have left the city
because they were not able to rent
house.
1t has been suggested that the
Commercial club should take official
action regarding this situation and
have some system whereby when
ever there are any vacant houses
that they should be listed with the
secretary of the club. Furthermore
it has been suggested that possibly
through the efforts of the CONNER
cial club some wealthy citizens might
be induced to put up some houses
for rental purposes.
The dearth in business buildings
is also being felt here. During the
past week there has been in the city
an eastern man who is looking for
a location for an exclusive shoe store
but he cannot find a suitable loca-
ton. There are other business men
who are in the same predicament
and more business as well as dwell
ing houses are sadly needed.

GOSSIP FROM
WALL STREET
j. j. HILL INTERESTING HIMSELF
IN ERIE RAILROAD AFFAIRS
10 RETALIATE ON HARTMAN.

New York, Feb. 23.-In railroad
circles one of the most interesting
bits of gossip today was that James
j. Hill was taking a live interest in
Erie affairs, and was seriously con-
sidering taking an active position in
the affairs of the company. Mr.. Hill
was one of the largest stockholders
in Erie, his holdings being as great as
those of any of the other men in
control of the property after the last
reorganization. 1t was his intention
to join with the roads in his sys-
tenn, and form a transcontinental line.
But developments in the railroad
world induced him to change his
opinion of the advisability of a trans
continental road, to which he Is
strongly opposed. and the length OF
time consumed in working out the
Erie problem of getting the road in
to condition meeting his approval
overtaxed his patience. He sold a
large portion of his holdings. and
two weeks ago resigned from the
board The other directors refused
for months to accept his resignation
and when they did so chose his son,
James N. Hill, as his successor
There is little doubt that they would
welcome his return and cooperation
now
According to the story, Mr. Hills
renewal of interest in Erie affairs is
due to the canadian Pacif1c's COM
bination with the New Haven in the
Canadian Pacific's dispatch route,
which has confused the entire traffic
situation in the northwest and in the
east Mr.. Hill has thought none too
pleasantly of his northern neighbors
for some time, and this latest ag-
gressive move on their part has
brought him to consider the advisa-
bility of an aggressive defense. The
Erie, on the completion of the i'm
provements now under way, might
serve this purpose. Those who heard
the gossip of this kind said it was
known that Mr.. Hill had taken no
step in the reported plan, but TAX
ing it in conjunction with rumors
that Mr. Hartman has gone as far
as he cared to in the Erie, considered
it interesting as possibility in the
Erie's future.
The drive on prices in the late
trading was accompanied by a report
that Mr.. Hartman was i'll. The cir
culation of the report was timely for
Mr.. Hartman was far enough away
to preclude the arrival of any tele-
gram of denial, and If the report was
designed to facilitate bearish opera
tions, it was of service There was no
foundation for the report a banker,
who keeps in touch with Mr.. Harri-
man, vigorously denied.

Then much talk centers about d
prominent New Yorker who for years.
has taken a prominent part in Wash
ington affairs. He and his wife have
always entertained much and their
invitations have been much sought
after. This New Yorker was once in
the diplomatic service as a foreign
ambassador, but he has not been re-
ceived at the White House. Not long
ago it was rumored that the fine
three-story house under construction.
is to be sold, and he is living in
Paris.
Changes i'm Attaches.
A change in the personnel of army
and navy attaches at the executive
mansion is, of course, expected. 1t
is generally concluded that the
names of Rear Admiral and Mrs
Cowles will not appear so frequently
on White House lists of chose pres
ent.''
Another feature that is thought to
be slated for Punishment is the little
affairs to which Harvard men alone
have so often been invited. Mr.. Taft
is of Yale, and the knowing ones say
that that university will be we'll rep
resented hereafter.
For the years of the Roosevelt reg
ime there have appeared on the
White House lists the names of many
New Workers, and the guests from
that city have constantly been in the
majority. This was natural, as the
president and his wife came from the
metropolis. From now on, it is said,
the city of Cincinnati will figure ex-
tensively, and so will other places in
the middle west.
''Tennis Cabinet" Will Pass.
One thing is surely known. That
is that Mr.. Taft will abolish the "ten-
mis- cabinet" and that those rides and
walks through the mud and rain at
all hours of the night are a thing of
the past from a White House stand
point, for time at least.
Washington figures that the coming
seasons at the White House will be
more lively affairs. Mrs. Taft, it is
said, is very democratic, and also
goes in for things with more jollity
and less formality than Mrs. Roose-
welt, whose tastes have always been
quite simple.
The Roosevelts practically refur-
nished the old structure, placing
new tableware services, draperies
and decorations throughout. Some
folks think that these are not to the
liking of the Taft family eye, and
that there will be a housekeeping
Elk heads and animal skins are ex-
pected to fall before the Taft broom
and to be replaced by things less
ferocious and more attractive.
AS the matter now stands Wash
ington looks for new set of rules
and regulations" and ar complete
change in program at the White
House after March 4.

CITY GETS STAMP
VENDING MACHINES

Detroit will be the first city in the
United states to have the automatic
stamp vending machines with various
models of which the United States gov.
eminent has been experimenting for
some time. The machines that are to
be located throughout this city are OF
new make. such as has not yet been
submitted 10 the government and are
the invention Of Detroit man. W. G..
Delaney, who has organized the De
troit Vending Machine Co for their
MANUFACTURE and use.
In the last report of Postmaster
General Won Meyer, IL is stated that
the government has experimental
with more than 30 makes OF machine
without finding one satisfactory. The
Detroit machine has fulfilled all tests
so far however. and arrangements
have been made to place 100 of them
ahout the city.
The company will sell one and two
cent stamps at cost, the revenue being
derived from the display OF advertis-
ing upon the machines. The postof.
fee department has reported that such
machines will be convenience when
placed in hotels. railroad stations and
outlying portions OF cities.
The novelty about the local ma
chimes Is ina they will take two pen.
MES at once ior two-cent stamp, all
other makes OF slot machines being
operated by only a single coin mum
Der Of influential Detroit business men
have invested In the concern. The
plant has been established in the
Roydell building on Forrest east.
