The prospects were never brighter in
the building industry in all our history
than they are for the coming season We
are making steady advances in improve
ment since the panic. Last year We made
a gain of nearly As per cent over 1905.
The records show for 1909 that in 60
of the principal cities of the United
States permits were taken out for the
construction of 100, ,664 buildings, at a
cost OF nearly s71T.OOO,OO0, as against
166. 15l buildings, costing nearly s5O9, ,0OO.-
600 in the year 1908, an increase of
nearly 25,OOO building and S209, ,O0O, 900,
The improvement was uniform, only in
seven cities in the list showing decreases
and these decreases were mostly in the
South. This surely indicates a revival
of confidence and shows that our expect
ancy of still more prosperous times is
based on sound reasoning. In making
our agreements for the coming year We
should use our heads good and plenty
in order that we may not create any un-
necessary industrial warfare and kill the

OF the union in Colorado are opening
their mines with nonunion men
Fifty men were placed at work in the

large mine would be opened in day or
so, but declined to say which one Other
mines will resume work daily, they an

closed down three weeks ago are started
again.
The officers of the United Mine Work,
ers for the district deny that the opera
tors can operate successfully more than
two or three of the mines. claiming that
they have obtained no skilled miners,
and that the lives of unskilled men would
be endangered by putting them to work
in many other mines on account OF the
gases that exist in them The operators
deny this, and say that the northern
Colorado mines are almost wholly free
from dangerous gases.

According to a new system installed
by Edwin V. Brake, deputy state labor
commissioner, every town in the state
will be more or less in direct touch with
a branch office of the department of Ia
Dor. Under the present arrangement all
business except factory inspection is
started through the Denver office.
Brakes idea is to conduct a more uni
form plan, in order that no discrimina-
ton will be shown the larger towns.
There are at present but three employ
ment Offices, and Brake proposes to keep
the whole state in touch through his dep
uty factory inspectors. Notice of their
arrival will be made in the newspapers.
On arrival in town these deputies will
receive callers. investigate complaints
that would otherwise be lost and take
any action within the law. In the last
year Brake has collected $4,000 wages
for workingmen and women who were
unable to obtain settlement from their
employers. Most of this amount consists
OF small sums collected for servant girls
and laborers. Brake is of the opinion
that this does not begin to represent the
justifiable claims, many of which have
failed to reach his office because of the
inability of many workers to write.

WILL FURNISH CHEAP
CURRENT FOR BALTIMORE
Garrett County Power Company Makes
Low Offer Through H. P. Tasker.

The Baltimore Sun of Thursday says:
Ten thousand horsepower at the rate
of So per horsepower year is offered
to the mayor and city council by Mr.. H.
P. Tasker, if the city will build the pole
line to his plant at Swallow Falls, on
the YoughioghenY river, 81 miles west
of Cumberland. In order to protect
the city in its investment, Mr.. Tasker,
as the sole owner of the Youghiogheny
Light and Power Company, declares in
letter to the mayor and city council
that he is willing to give the city con-
tract for SO years at the price he men
tions.
Following is the letter received by
the mayor:
To the Mayor and City Council of Bal
more, Md:
Gentlemen-As general manager and
sole owner of the Youghiogheny Light
and Power Company of Swallow Falls,
Garrett county, Md, | respectfully
submit the following proposition, viz:
If the city will agree to furnish the
transmission wires, either on poles or
underground, from Swallow Falls to
Baltimore, about 200 miles electrical
power is now being successfully trans
mitted 300 miles in some of the western
StateS), | will contract to furnish the
city with about 10, 600 horsepower for
SO years. at the phenomenally cheap
rate of three dollars horsepower per
year at the hydro-electric plant, this
offer to stand for 80 days.
One reason for this very low offer is
that, at the age of Is years, | was
stricken down last winter with an in
durable disease, and brought to a
hospital, where l expect to end my
days. Those interested are invited to
call at the hospital and examine my
data, etc. H. P. TASKER,
General Manager.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Tasker
said:
The falls from which l derive my
power are 800 feet. There is no neces-
sity for dam or anything else. 1t is a
wonderful natural water power. Enough
water runs to waste in the Youghio-
ghenY river, Muddy creek and Deep
creek to supply 48-inch pipe with over
300 feet head to the hydro-electric
plant. With Pelton impulse wheels
over 10000 horsepower can be devel-
oped.
Il have been reading OF what the
city council has been doing about cleo
tricity, and am anxious to have fair
treatment and to get the product where
it will benefit the people. l am too old
now to have much benefit from it my
self"
Electrical Engineer Phelps, in COM
menting on the proposition yesterday,
said:
The rate which he proposes to
charge the city is absurdly low. Just
how practicable the proposition is could
