Month in 1910 Shown in
October.

According TO a summary of building &C
tivity throughout the country for the
month of October, Washington is con-
tinuing to show the steady progress which
long has made it notable among the
cities. Rarely does the Capital City show

projected or in the amount of money pro-

abnormal decrease.

United States, and in this report it is
shown that the month of October in
Washington produced an increase of 9

admission. At the social hop after
the show the capacity of the opera

Although it might have been eX peeted that there would have been a falling of in the postal receipts of Douglas in the calendar year of 1910 over that of 1909 owing to the fact of the establishment of a postofice at Pirtleville and the consequent loss to the Douglas post office of the Pirtleville business such was nol .the case but on the contrary a small increase in receipts is shown. The increase is not large it is true but it is at least an increase
