Or Tuesday evening, April 5th the teachersofthe SITS. gave reception at Pittsbwg Cottage to the members of the ThImget Presbyterian Church in honor of Mir. William A. Kelly who for many years was Superintendent of our school. Over ninety people were present and thoroughly enjoyed greeting Mir. Kelly who has been a true friend to US ever since he came here', as one of the native people expressed it. There were a number ofspeecheS by the people and Mr. Kelly en- tertained every one present with "reminiscences of early events in the history of the school when there were multitudinous hin- dranceS to the mission work.
 During the evening several mum bers of vocal and instrumental music were rendered and add ed to pleasure of the occasion. Mir. Kelly left on the Georgia of the Sth for Seattle and other coast cities. He expects to locate permanently somewhere in the Northwest. All who know of his connection with the mission and educational work in Alaska are sorry to see him leave our Ter ritory.

be let separately from the general contract
The contractor will never do this work
himself, but viii sublet it and charge a
profit for acting as middleman This profit
can just as we'll be saved by the home
builder, who then has the opportunity OF
selecting the firm who will do this work.
Some people desire to save the contractors
profit by buying the material and hiring
their own labor. In most cases, owing to
their lack OF building knowledge, this way
Of building a home proves very expensive.
II a man has had experience in building
so that he can practically consider himself
a contractor, fhen there Is no doubt but
what he can save money in this manner,
but TO the avertge man, with business Of
his own, which should absorb most of his
attention, and who has had little previous
experience in the building line, it is more
economical and certainly a great saving
on the nerves to let the contract for every
thing except the heating and plumbing, to
one man and hold him responsible for
everything in his contract.
A man would not think Of having a COM
plicated piece of machinery built without
first having prepared exact patterns drawn
for all its parts, which he would take to a
competent machinist, and have 1t con-
structed, leaving the mechanical part Of
its construction entirely to the man Of ex-
perience. Still he will sometimes think he
can plan and build his own home with all
its complications, entirely without the sys-
tenn which would be applied to the work
by men Of experience, and save money. The
results are, in most cases, decided loss

The three most important considerations
in the building Of home are its plan, de-
sign and cost. II Is not a difficult matter
70 decide on the most desirable arrange
ment OF rooms suited TO the family needs
nor is IL difficult, with the assistance OF an
architect 10 design an attractive exterior,
provided that the cost is not limited. but
here is where the rub comes. The fact
that some homes cost a great deal less
than others of the same size tempts people
to gamble on the proposition and try to
set a great deal more than they ought TO
for the amount which they desire to in
vest. They are even sometimes encouraged
into believing that they can build a larger
home than is possible for a certain amount
by INSCRIPTIONS builders who think that
after their mind is thoroughly settled that
their enthusiasm will lead them to invest
more than they at first intended
Sometimes architects who htnik more Of
getting an order than they do about their
reputation will follow the same policy, so
that the home builder Is not always alone
TO blame for planning a home entirely be-
gond his means. No architect could guar
antee the exact cost OF a home. His ex-
perience permits him 70 estimate its APP
proximate cost, but his estimate only be-
comes accurate through coincidence. He
has not the gift Of prophecy and is unable
to tell the exact amount which contractor
would want for certain piece Of work.
His estimate is sometimes high and some
times low. In other words, he Is in exactly
the same position as one Of the several
contractors who might be invited 70 figure
on the work and these bids would vary
sometimes to a considerable extent
When ones means limit them to exactly
a certain amount, II Is best to frankly
state 70 the architect all OF the circum-
stances, being sure to obtain the advice
from a man Of experience and absolute in
teErity and then instead OF adding many
little things, such as y higher grade Of
wood work, q high grade OF plumbing fix
lures and many little Injuries. entirely de-
airable but which could be omitted, try to
see how many Of these things can be done
without and apply practical economy wher-
ever possible. Then when the bids are re-
ceived, II they come below available funds,
these little extra luxuries can be added be-
fore the contract is closed with the con-
tractor.
Contractors estimates often vary as
much as 20 or 80 per cent. For this reason
Il is advisable to take figures from at
least five contractors and II time will per-

In the western part OF Omaha. George &
Co., the Dundee Realty company and others
on a smaller scale have been investing
thousands Of dollars In permanent improve
ments which have already made Fairacres
and Dundee the most beautiful residential
part Of Omaha and which within one or two
years will make the former one OF the
handsomest residence sections in the whole
west.
Coihoident with this is the erection OF a
number OF houmes In this district by men
Of means who are TO spend or are spending
anything from $4,000 70 $4,000 for home,
and country places.

To appreciate Fairacres one must drive
over it's four miles OF boulevards and see al
close hand the parkways. the trees and
shrubbery set out by home owners there
present and future. and the houses which
include many OF the best places in Omaha
Moreover the view from the high hills on
which Fairacres sits Is. OF course, not
available until one is standing there, and
has left the driveways for the eminenoes
This because the boulevards, all winding
are IN the valleys and the tops OF the hills
are utilized for building sites. Just az this
time OF year a visit is particularly worth
while because the foliage has taken on the
golden, brown and red hues OF fall and
the sumach is In al is glory. As a further
hint so on south a little TO Elmwood
park which many Omahans have never
visited. II is the loveliest park In Omaha
because the most heavily wooded and a
grove OF silver birches there is worth the
trip alone.

tractors time II you do not intend to give
him the contract provided he is the lowest
man. Here is an example which shows the
advisabillty Of taking estimates from a
number Of contractors. A home builder
desired to build for exactly $500. The
first four estimates which he took ran
from 1850 to $1,000 He was naturally
somewhat discouraged but decided to let
another contractor figure, a man consid-
cred somewhat higher up in his trade than
the previous four, who did not happen to
be very busy at that time. His estimate
was 81, 300 and the house was built for this
amount. On another building, estimates
were taken from five contractors and the
lowest estimate was $1,000 higher than the
amount to be spent. Estimates were taken
from five more contractors and 1880 was
saved thereby.
