IMPROVEMENTS FOUND.

Shipp, each of whom figures on build
| ing within the coming year, giving an
impetus to that immediate section.
Coming in on this southern end of
I Lee street the recently modernized
and very attractive home of Mr.
Charles Culpepper is reached, with the
very pretty home of Mr.. G. r. Buch-
anan directly across the way, improv.-
ments that are we'll calculated to
bring others. Closer in, tn home of
Mr.. John B. Ansley is reached, one of
the attractive two-story dwellings IN
the west side of Lee street. At Lee
and Alice streets a lot has recently
been sold to a South Carolinian who
will build a fine home on it for lis
own. use.
Approaching further into the built
up section, at Lee, near D0dson, is
found the attractive bungalow of Mr..
Henry Walker, and at Lee and Boil
the recently modernized home of Mr..
+ l.. Bell. Not far off, on Brannan
avenue are three cottage homes built
by Mrs. S. H. Hawkins, while on the
north side of Taylor street work is
under way on the bungalow home OF
Mr.. w. A. Humber. Near by is the
frame work of a handsom two-story
residence being erected by Mrs. Laura
J. Bagley as home for herself. Com
ing down Taylor to near its junction
with Lee the fine residence is met that
Mr.. James J. Holiday is building, a
large two-story home, with the brick
addition to the Baptist church across
the street nearing completion.
On Church street the two-story cot
tage that Mrs. Samuel Warlick is en-
larging and undermining is being rap
idly pushed to completion. Over on
Prince street the cottage home of Mr..
James Denham was completed some
weeks ago, and on Lamar, near Prince
are two small dwellings, recently com
pleted for R. K. Webb. On Finn street,
near the S. A. L. station, is found the
bungalow just finished for George Oh
liver.
Out in East Americas Improvements
are also evident on all sides, the past
few months having been marked by
unusual activity in that line over
there. One of the prominent features
of the landscape is the modernized
old Jackson home, at Forsyth and
Hudson streets, one of the several im- |
to be credited to Mr. CraN-
ford Wheatley.
If any one is inclined to be pessi- |
mistic it is only necessary to take a
street hack for an hour and drive over
the city, meeting with these and 9TH
er comparatively recent improvements
to drive away the blues and infuse an
other spirit entirely.

BIG FOOTBALL GAME
DECLARED OFF
FOR YEAR
Continued Bad eWather and
More Snow Responsible
For Action

The football game between the uni
versity and the A. c. was called off
this morning by mutual consent. On
account of the weather predictions
of colder weather and snow the last
of this week, this move was deemed
necessary by the athletic authorities
of both institutions.
The A. c.. board of control held a
meeting this morning and after con-
siderable discussion tent word to
Prof. Z. F. Chandler, faculty mana
ger of the university, stating that
while they were perfectly willing to
play the game Of the university decid-
ed. they did not believe it advisable.
This view was ~cOncurred in by the
university authorities and the game
was Cancelled.
The game was scheduled for last
Saturday and u special train had been
secured to accommodate the delega-
ton of students who expected to &C
the snow storm that day the game
was postponed, to be played some
time this week. Both teams have been
struggling against the opposition of
the weather ma to keep in condi-
ton.
The cancellation Of the game Is the
cause of real regret to the students of
both institutions as each was firmly
convinced of their " superiority.
Prof. Chandler stated today that
had it been known yesterday the day
would be as clear as 1t is. the game
would have been played today.
The c%ancellatio nof h game leaves
the championship of the state unde-
cided. The A. c. had defeated Fargo
college and this game would have
settled the championship question.
