CITY REALTY is
CHANGING HAND.

The demand for the sale Of city
property within the past few weeks
has been heavier than it has been ir
Columbus for the past twenty years
There is every reason for this. The
eity's population, as a result Of the
continued operation Of all of our in
dustries, and the prosperous times, is
increasing all the time. On account Of
the high cost of building, in labor and
materials, there is little new building
IN the way of cottages and homes. The
result is that there is a tremendous
demand for homes for rent with prac-
tically none offered, and people who
have rented for years rather than paw
the increased rents, are buying wher-
ever values are offered. The demand
for property far surpasses any de-
mand in Columbus since the boom
days Of fifteen years ago, when Colu-
bus was embarking upon an ambitious
program of manufacturing. The fol-
lowing sales have been recorded with
in the past few weeks:
Mrs. A. +. Brandon bought the v.
b. lines cottage on the Banck's square
in Ward No /, South Columbus. and
will take possession on September the
first.
Mr.. V. B. lines has purchased the
handsome Ezell home on College st.
and with his family will move there
September the first.
Mr. Henry Sherrod has purchased
the Shields cottage on College street
opposite the Catholic church. and will
move there Sept. first.
Mr. Joe Shull has purchased the
Frierson cottage on South second St.
and Fourth avenue, and will take
possession Sept. first.
The members Of the Cumberland
Presbyterian faith here have pur-
chased what was formerly their
church on South Fourth street. from
the trustees Of the Meridian Presby-
terry, and after elaborate improve
ments on the same. will occupy it as
their church.
Mr.. g. M. Flynn purchased the
handsome Humphries home on College
street, and after extensive improve
ments to the same, viii take possess
ion Of it.
More sales have occurred but can't
be published until closed.

THE GREAT HUDSON PLANT.

THE GREAT HUDSON PLANT.
The first Hudson was built Just
ten years ago in little two story
plant employing less than five hun
dred men.
To-day the Hudson factory covers
more than twenty-six acres Of
ground with over one million square
feet of floor space.
1t is the largest factory in the
world devoted exclusively TO the
production of fine automobiles
Without leaving the plant you may
walk more than five miles without
seeing the same thing twice.
During the past decade more
than 125,000 cars have been built
and sold, And during this time ev-
cry model added to the lustre Of the
Hudson fame until has become
the most popular fine car in the
world.
WlSely ana consistently avoiding
the mistakes and profiting by the
mistakes of others, its leadership
has long been recognized. Four years
ago the announcement of the first
Super-six marked a turning point in
automobile design.
Since then the exclusive principle
which almost doubled the power Of
the motor without any increase in
the weight of the ear has been prov
ed by the most terrific tests to
which any car has been subjected
and by the experience of more than
10000 owners.
The new Super-Six, just brought
out represents the perfected devel-
opment of ten years Of achievement.
While retaining all the advantages
Of previous models. these qualities
have been refined 70 meet a long
cherished IDEAL
The result Is a car Of greater
performance, beauty and comfort
than ever before, the demand for
which has already outstripped pro-
iuction Therefore it is only by act
ng now that you can guard your
self against delays in delivery.

ROAD FUNDS AREPR0MISED
 FOR ALASKA

Satisfactory working arrangements for the handling of road funds with the war department and the depart ment of agriculture were made in Washington by Major w. H. Waugh, president of the Alaska board of road commissioners, who has returned to Juneau.
 Arrangements as we have made them will allow good deal of free- dom in the handling of road funds" |" said Major Waugh. We can hope for good treatment from the members of the appropriation committee when they consider the appropriation bill. All of the members of the military and appropriation committees were abroad when was in Washington and I was unable to see them. However, I believe the chief of engineers office will look after us satisfactorily.
 "The estimate of $300,OO0 for the Alaska road commission has been ap- proved, and I hope it will go through.
 "The postoffice appropriation bill carries money for road work of which we get part. Fifty-nine thousand dol lars is available now. While we are entitled to more, we won't be able to get it until we make a good showing with what we have and with our CO., operative work with the department of agriculture. hope we will accom- plish enough work to get this sum in- creased next year."
 While in Washington, Major Waugh was offered the work of organizing the department of public works and roads of the Chilean government This, he said, he declined, as he was al ready far enough away from his home.
